House interior looked just like the photos and was very clean and comfortable for our 4 night stay. The lawn and greenery on the property were incredibly overgrown. I called and texted photos to the property manager on day 1 who said someone would come out the next day to take care of it. No one came on Day 2 so I messaged through the app with more pictures. Landscaper came out on Day 3 and took care of it. While the property manager was apologetic and eventually took care of it, it was an expensive stay and surprising that something like lawn care would not be maintained.

This is a great vacation home. It looks exactly like the photos. Wonderful decor with comfortable beds in a quiet location. Each night we sat in the back at the firepit and in the morning had coffee on the front deck while watching swans, geese and what we think was a muskrat swimming by right in front of the docks across the street. We had a lovely dinner with great service and good wine at Knapp Winery's restaurant Field & Vine just 10 minutes away. Each day we was a new adventure...hiking at Watkins Glenn, Sail boat ride on True Love Schooner, Fabulous wine tasting at Hillick and Hobbs winery and then dinner at Stonecat Cafe. Cheese tasting at Muranda Cheese Barn and checking out Seneca Falls. Also just about an hour away we visited Ithica and the wonderful farm market and the next day was a trip to the Corning Glass museum. We highly recommend this rental. So many things to see and do. Our last night the whole area was without power for a couple of hours and we were grateful for the 2 pop up LED lanterns on the countertop.

Beautiful lake and outdoors access. Clean and well appointed house in quiet residential neighborhood.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chirping Pines. The property was well-appointed and excellent for a group of four! Location couldn’t be better for convenience to supermarket as well as plenty of wineries within 30 minutes on both Cayuga and Seneca! Outdoor space was excellent! We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the area.
