Immaculate space with a gorgeous view

Just a short (one night) stay for my wife and I - space with the rainy weather, the view toward the lake was wonderful. Hosts were communicative, flexible and understanding of our somewhat unpredictable travel plans - greatly appreciated.

Everything about this property is fantastic! It's in a perfect position in town and the town itself is positioned between Seneca Falls and Skaneatlas - two wonderful nearby towns that you can easily explore. The cabin has everything you (or you 1) could hope for. Bob and Elaine are so thoughtful in the amenities they provide (a starter bag of ice and bottled water were especially nice touches.) They were both so friendly, welcoming and wanting to make sure I had everything I wanted. I really enjoyed spending time relaxing inside the cabin (watching tv, reading by the window) and on their lawn. They have seating underneath an awning as well as seating at the edge of the water. They even provide corn that you can feed the ducks! There are so many wonderful places to explore in Auburn (the Harriet Tubman Visitors Center being the highest on the list, the Seward Home and Willard Memorial Chapel (with an all Tiffany designed interior!) of next highest in interest. And you can easily get to them all from this wonderful cabin on the lake.
