The unit was exceptionally clean upon our arrival and all communication with the owner was clear and timely. We found the seating areas to be very comfortable and overall we found the cabin and its decor to be charming.
Traveling during a heat advisory in August, we were very thankful for the AC to break the humidity. Though the window unit AC in each bedroom was effective for cooling, they were also quite loud and we ended up turning them off at night when the temperature dropped so we could sleep.
Per the layout, I was confused thinking the room with 3 twins was the in the loft. That room and one of the queen rooms are on the second floor, but the loft referred to in reviews is separate from the 3 bedrooms. The loft is not shown in photos, but it is a cozy (low ceiling) area with a tv with Xbox 360 (no controllers seen) and 2 bean bag chairs.
The 35 minute drive to Ithaca (1 hour+ to Watkins Glen) was a bit longer than we hoped, but the trade off in location allowed us to save money overall and be more comfortable with 3 bedrooms than we would have been squished in a single motel room nearby the lakes. No regrets
