Relaxing getaway
Had an amazing week at this lakefront property. The house was immaculate and had all the amenities you could need! The kitchen was spacious and there was plenty of room for everyone to sit together in the dining room. The sunroom overlooking the lake was a favorite spot for trading, playing games, etc. The dock was perfect for sitting by the lake with a cup of coffee in the morning or to enjoy the beautiful sunsets at night. Both single and double kayaks were available to take out as well. Absolutely loved this house and would stay here again!

As Scenic As Shown!
Our stay was wonderful! The property was as scenic as advertised. Sunsets are awesome and the reflection of the sunrise off of the homes across the lake was awe-inspiring! We’d hoped to utilize the kayaks and canoes, but time just got away from us. Our host was so nice when we needed an electric pump for our inner tubes, and super responsive the couple of times we reached out. The scenery and location make this place perfect!

Great lakefront stay close to wineries
We had a great time at the house for a long weekend. An easy drive to places of interest including several wineries and the town of Geneva. It was great to be right on the water with amenities provided like kayaks, beach gear, a fire pit, and more. Would stay again!

So the pictures on line were VERY inaccurate ( not good ) very dated , the place was not clean, pot and pans were not good , there were spider webs everywhere. The deck was gross and unsafe. The front of the house was not attractive at all, very cluttered house, the stereo on the fire place was not pleasant, there were air conditioning units not central air, THE PLACE NEEDS A LOT OF WORK !!!!

Relax by the Lake
Right on the water, quiet neighborhood, lots of deck space and dock. Plenty of room inside, big kitchen for group prep and cooking. Amazing sun porch, we spent so much time in there, unbelievable sunsets. Plenty of books, movies and games to use. Close to wineries and breweries, yet away from the traffic and noise.

Wonderful Views
Great home location! Close and commanding view of the lake. Loved the trees, the sun room looking out on the lake and closeness to many wineries and only 20 mins. or so to Geneva. A perfect home for a visit with family and/or friends. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable kitchen table. Easy walk to Sampson State Park. Definitely would return. Greatly enjoyed the beautiful sun sets. The owner was very easy to work with and very responsive.

Sandra and Greg Busby provided us with the perfect solution to our needs while attending the local dog shows. Their house had enough space for our group. In addition, it allowed us to easily swim our dogs in the lake. We highly recommend this house and the Busby's hospitality.

Everything was perfect!! The house has everything!! Kitchen is so well stocked. The sunsets are just breathtaking!! We used the kayaks and bikes and had a blast. It was really great to be right next to Sampson State Park where we could ride the bikes. Most of our time at the house was spent sitting in the cozy sunroom. Also, so close to so many wineries. Only about a half hour to Watkins Glen State Park, which is a must see and do. The Gorge Trail was amazing!! Great communication with Sandra. We would totally stay here again. Thanks again Sandra!!

Overall our stay was fabulous! Great location, very spacious, and lots to offer including kayaks, lake floaties, games, etc. only complaint was there are areas in the house with some water damage, and at night there is an excessive amount of spiders outside surrounding the front door. Otherwise, would definitely stay here again!
