Relaxing atmosphere, great location for a girl's weekend. The views were spectacular. The property was clean and well stocked. Everything worked well. The hot tub was wonderful.addedadded w the lake perfectly from it.
We had a fantastic week here. The house had everything we needed and more. Conveniently located for local attractions. Nice a peaceful location. Will definitely recommend.
Love the house & location! Plenty of space for 4 adults; felt private even tho close to other houses
Boat lift worked great, boat was safe during a terrible storm
Looking forward to coming back next year
The house was great and exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and well supplied. The owners were easy to reach when needed. We had a great time kayaking and swimming in the lake. The highlight of the trip was definitely watching sunset over the lake in the hot tub. We hope for a return visit someday!
Awesome, well equipped lake house with lovely lake views, pretty sunsets and outstanding amenities. We had 3 generations stay comfortably with plenty of space to cook, visit and relax. The dock and boat lift are easy to use and help get onto the lake. We’ll be back for sure!
Husband and I took advantage of a weekend away before becoming parents to two girls! It was beautiful—house was amazing. Had all the comforts we could have asked for. Kitchen had a great supply to make any dish! Really enjoyed our time and look forward to bringing our girls back one day! Thank you Paul and Debbie for being amazing too, from showing us the boat lift to being readily available anytime for a question!
We spent a beautiful four-day weekend in the prime of the fall foliage season and this was a beautiful lake location for our stay. It did take a bit of a drive to get to the wineries on Seneca lake, but we enjoyed spa treatments, wine tastings, and amazing dinner at the Aurora inn and lots of quality time at the house and around in the area. The rental was easy and the house was in need of some upgrades but in good shape and clean. The owners were sweet and very thoughtful with many little details and recommendations for a great stay. We definitely want to come back again!
Paul and Debbie are great hosts and very responsive and accommodating. I actually think the pictures don’t do the house justice. The kitchen was remodeled and the connecting living room is ample space for a get together. When the weather is nice, you can really spread out on the screened in porch, the deck overlooking the lake, the lower deck or the fire pit. We found this to be a great spot for our family and would love to come back and book the place next door (same owners) also to accommodate a growing family. Thanks for a great time!
We stayed for 9 days at Sunset Paradise. The house was clean and cozy; perfect for both sets of grandparents, me, my sposue and our 2 teen boys. Lake-front accomodations were exactly what we wanted as we spent our days and nights swimming, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, and boating. The outdoor space with the hot tub were amazing. The house has everything you might have forgotten for all ages. Debbie and Paul offered the option of extra water toys for rent that made our stay even more fun. Great communicafion and responsiveness from Debbie and Paul throughout our stay. Book and you won't regret it!
This property was absolutely perfect for my group. It was clean, well stocked and the owners were generous with the checkout time. The setting is glorious with beautiful sunset views. We wanted to be close to wineries and breweries and this was ideal
A perfect spot for relaxing on the lake. Very comfortable with a homey feel, and friendly owners. There’s a great winery, a brewery and state park a very short distance away. A place to come back to again.
