The place was absolutely beautiful. Everything was brand new and exceptionally clean. It was stocked with all of the basic essentials to make our 2 night stay feel effortless and comfortable. The location is perfect for a quiet, romantic getaway, or an active family looking to use the lake for water activities. We would love to come back for another visit some day.

Winter wonderland on the lake!

This is a wonderful, comfortable home with everything you need for a relaxing time on the lake. We enjoyed the snowy days and the beautiful sunrise views from the sun room. The Vibe team were so helpful and I will contact them first when I plan to be in the Fingers Lake area again.

Gorgeous October weekend

We were lucky to have incredible weather for October and enjoyed the area immensely (Penn Yan, Geneva, Watkins Glen). The property was ideally located, very clean, quiet. Lakefront views with coffee in the mornings, hikes and bike rides, winery visits in the afternoons, and delicious farm to table meals for dinner. Great stay with attentive hosts.

We have traveled extensively and also had a vrbo, so I want to share some extra details.First, we were very happy with the property. Cleanliness, quiet, privacy from neighbors and the overall feel of the house were perfect.The kitchen is well stocked. There is an automatic drip coffeemaker as well as the Keurig and they kindly give you a little coffee for both, no decaf. I note this for others, because Vibe answered my inquiry incorrectly.The porch near the bbq is on the main floor, right off the sunroom, and is a nice place for enjoying the view outdoors. The next level down has a roof, and offers sunshine as well as shade, this was our favorite spot. We also had some fun in the game room on this level. It has a TV, 2 seats, a multi game machine as well as a driving machine and Foosball.Lots of water floating toys and folding chairs to put on the docks.There is a TV in both the LR and sunroom. They even supply beach towels.The only drawback was feeling a little on display and self conscious at times with the camera on the shed aimed at a LR window that has no shade.The place made for a great 25th anniversary! A central location with great views in a house that is just lovely!
