This house is pretty much as described, though the photos don’t show that it is about 20 ft from the house next door. There is a privacy fence but it is definitely not secluded. The views from the porch, upper deck and boathouse are all terrific and we really enjoyed watching the sunset from the comfy adirondacks. Boathouse is very nice and has excellent seating where we had one lovely waterside breakfast. There were no bugs at all, and the lake water is super clean and clear, albeit a tad chilly but still good for swimming. There is 1 tandem ocean kayak and a single as well, plus life jackets. We especially enjoyed the well appointed kitchen with Henkels knives, though we missed having a dishwasher. Sheets and bed in the loft were excellent quality. Bathroom was small and could use an upgrade. It had the only mirror in the entire place, making getting ready in the morning a challenge. For multiple people. Recommend adding a mirror in each of the bedrooms near outlets. The bedrooms downstairs were adequate but very dark because of the opaque shades. You have choose between darkness and privacy or being exposed to the neighborhood. Blinds or shutters would be a huge improvement. As a result, we used the lower bedrooms as dressing rooms and slept upstairs. WiFi was excellent but no smart TV so we streamed on my laptop. Despite the opportunities for improvement, I would say that this house has some very nice features and is a good value. Close to the main town and many other things to do, such as the Keuka outlet trail, where you can bike to two waterfalls, a zillion wineries, Watkins Glen state park , and much more. We had a great time.
