The house was even cuter in person than on the listings, we were so completely charmed. The host had everything set up beautifully. The location is perfect and near several amazing wineries within 15 minutes of driving including one of the best on the lakes right across the street. We discovered the most adorable antique shop just down the road, and it was within driving distance of several towns with excellent food options. We enjoyed the hot tub and taking walks down to the lake view at the end of the road. We had a lovely charming weekend

The place was very cute, quaint, and well maintained. We loved the location and the privacy with big property. We are definitely staying here next time we come. The only complaints are the place was missing basic toiletries like shampoo, body wash,etc. and the walkway was very slippery (our friend fell). I do see now that toiletries weren't included as an amenity, but the listing should be more explicit and clear since toiletries are usually a standard amenity.

Great location and and very private. Nice hot tube and yard. Everything was very nice. Only improvements that I would recommend would be more water pressure for the showers,but we did enjoyed our stay there.

My family and dog stayed here for a second time and enjoyed it. The hot tub is always a hit, and the location is both private and convenient. More spacious than you’d think from the pictures. Only minor complaints are the somewhat uncomfortable futons and small showers.

Great location. Comfortable beds. Very clean. My only concern would be the temperature regulation. We tried several times to turn the AC down bc it was very warm and it kept shutting off.

Nice large private yard. Cute cottage that made you feel comfortable and loved the hot tube time gazing at stars each night. Would recommend to anyone. The imperfections give it that feeling of being in the country.

We had a great girl trip weekend exploring the breweries on Seneca. 8 of us stayed and we had plenty of room.
The home is a bit dated but maintained pretty well and is clean inside. The main shower was quite slippery and the shower head is very low making it awkward for many of us.
The outside of the property needs a good pressure washing. The house, porch and deck were all very dirty. While we were there the back light was out making it quite dangerous to get to the hot tub and fire pit. We had to use our phones for flashlights. I messaged about the light being out as it was not safe - and was told the light must have burnt out. Understandable - but expected someone to come by and fix it as it was a safety issue.
Overall location was great - close to many winery and brewery options and Geneva area. The house had all we needed inside and worked well for our weekend getaway.

Family Lake Vacation
Pros- convenience to Watkins Glen, Seneca Lake& Wine Trail, and Keuka Lake. Very clean, very nice & responsive owners, fire pit, allowed to take dog, comfortable beds, linens and towels provided, and hot tub!!
Cons- house is a little dated, central AC did not keep house cool during heatwave (even with blinds, windows and doors shut, couches very uncomfortable (they are futons), and owners forgot to send check-in procedures one week in advance, got it the day before when I asked, but was prompt in sending it.

We had a great time during our stay at The Willow this year. It was the second time we've stayed there and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again! We especially love the location - near enough to Watkins Glen and other towns but far enough away from busy areas. The property accommodations are fine for our family and our dog that loves to take walks in the large yard.

Fantastic Weekend Getaway
We found The Willow Cottage while looking for a convenient place to stay during our return to the Finger Lakes post-Covid. Much to our delight, we found the location perfect, and directly across the street of one of our favorite wineries!
The house was very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for two families of 4. The fire pit was a nice touch in the evening to relax with a glass of wine or a cold beer. The yard behind the cottage was very roomy, allowing the kids plenty of room to run around, explore and play soccer.
We would absolutely stay here again! It was absolutely wonderful!

Great location, peaceful spot
We enjoyed our stay at the Willow House very much! It was a great location with easy access to everywhere we wanted to visit, though we never needed to leave route 14! Peaceful and quiet, and our dogs loved running in the yard.

We had a great time! The property is at an awesome location and the hot tub was wonderful. I wish we had known that most wineries were closed on Wednesdays and the TV was very frustrating that is why I rated a 4. Overall we had a greath experience though!

Quiet and private.
The property was next protected from the road by trees, and backed by wooded private lots. It was very peaceful. The hot tub was a real treat.

My wife and i could not ask for much more than what we walked into. Cozy, private, very clean. Our sleep was great in the best bed at least i have slept in awhile. Beautiful scenery of the lake just off the back porch, which was very nice to have inclosed, or in the hot tub. Thank you for this experience and hope to continue in the future.

Relaxing Weekend
This is a lovely cottage in a quiet, private area. Cottage was clean and very cute. There was enough space inside for all four adults to have drinks and chat, but also a large yard with a hot tub and deck to enjoy the nice weather and views. Wish we could have spent more than a weekend!

Overall I would give this a 4.9/5 rating. It was extremely clean, well maintained. The hot tub was comfortable and we were able to use the fire pit, which was set up prior to our arrival. The only issues that we've had were with kitchen things. The coffee maker definitely needs to be replaced. We used a whole pound of coffee trying to get this thing to brew wtihout getting half of the coffee grinds in the coffee pot. It would be nice to have more non-stick pots and pans but it is understandable that these would likely get ruined by guests. The privacy of the property is incredible. Overall this is MUST STAY for this property and we will defintely be back!!

The four of us enjoyed our stay. The rental is extremely clean, nice large kitchen, 2 full baths with showers (one a tub shower) and we all agreed the beds gave you a great nights sleep, even without TV's in the bedrooms. We thought the living room furniture was extremely uncomfortable. Futons are hard.
We sat on the sun porch and watched the wildlife pass by. The property is HUGE and lovely. We didn't buy wood for the fire pit. You had to buy your own and we had trouble finding any as most places were sold out. Could be a nice little perk for guests that doesn't cost much money. We perhaps watch too much HGTV where Scott of Vacation House Rules has some tips for owners and a starter pack of wood would have been his suggestion, I'm sure.
We had trouble with the television as both of us couples have Xfinity/Comcast in Pittsburgh with talking remotes and all the apps are an option in their menu. Theirs was a bit more complicated so I would suggest having a cheat sheet by the TV for future guests on how to work through this. Jeff was EXTREMELY helpful in getting this to work. I'm pretty savvy with technology but must admit that this Apple Box had me a bit stumped. Took awhile to get used to but still the downside was that their package with their cable company, Spectrum, had ZERO network stations. No ABC, NBC, CBS, ESPN, etc. so therefore we didn't see any world news, Jeopardy, or Thursday Night Football (where their New York Giants team was playing and lost by 1 point!)The guys were bummed. No Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, or Stephen Colbert. Jeff suggested that I upgrade my Hulu to Hulu+ with Live TV. After checking into that option I discovered it is $60/month for a trial and I wasn't prepared to do that for a few days. All the vineyards close around 6:00 so there isn't much to do but watch TV after that and we don't play games or cards. There are plenty of apps and most require a subscription but again, cumbersome to manipulate and shuffle through. That was a true bummer. BUT, the TV is large and nice.
In all the reviews, people say you are supposed to bring toilet paper which we did. PEOPLE, you do NOT need to bring toilet paper! They have a septic system and they know what kind to buy! Also, there are PLENTY of coffee filters in the cupboard next to the sink. We used the ones we brought, but believe me, there are MANY! We brought a roll of paper towels but used theirs and then left ours behind for the next guests.
