Finger Lakes Home ~ 18 Mi to Cornell University!

The downstairs of this property is so livable and comfortable! We enjoyed our mornings and evenings so much at this property! The top floor needs some renovation, but there are plenty of beds and fans for your crew. The stairs are steep though, so I wouldn’t recommend the location for older adults.

We were a party of nine. This property was advertised as accommodating nine people. Safety – 1) No keyless entry. The owner met us, but did not provide us with a way to lock the house. We took our valuables every time we left. 2) My daughter found mouse droppings on her bed. 3) No lamp shades. Just bare light bulbs. The table lamp in one of the bedrooms had a short in the cord. 4) The stairway to the second floor is narrow, steep and shallow, certainly not safe enough for several of our party who are 70. 5) The plumbing is exposed in upstairs bathroom. 6) Multiple tripping hazards as you walk between rooms. 7) No GFCI outlet in the upstairs bathroom. Kitchen – There was a random collection of cups, glasses and utensils in the drawers, but not enough for nine people. One paring knife, a couple of plastic spatulas, and a box of random old pots and pans. I spoke to the owner. She ran to the Dollar Store and bought us more utensils, a pot, a frying pan, and a cheap knife set. The Keurig wouldn’t work reliably. So I purchased a coffee maker and left it at the property. Large dining room table, but only six straight chairs throughout the house. The rest of us sat on stools during meals. General – We discovered the towels in the first-floor bathroom, still damp. We dried them. The dryer door was held closed by red duct tape. No outside trash receptacle. All the pillows are old and worn out.

The home was spacious. Close to our planned activities.

This home is Awsome. Cozy, Very much like home. Something for everyone. We loved the big Family style dining room table. To gather, look at old pictures and share family stories and memories. It brought us together. Conveniently located in the hills of Berkshire and close to family. Without a doubt we would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at The Ranch. It was close to our family and friends and comfortable for our family !
