What guests think
Travellers say Spacious ‘GEM’ of the city is a clean, roomy, historic home with responsive hosts and an excellent walkable location near downtown Geneva, restaurants, the lakefront, and wineries, ideal for groups visiting family, events, or the Finger Lakes.
Guests highlight a well-equipped kitchen, handy driveway parking, and inviting porch or patio spaces; a few wished for additional cereal bowls. A recurring downside is occasional light or noise from the neighboring gas station, which some mitigated with white noise or sleep masks. Best for travelers who value space and convenience over hotel style amenities.

Scenic views. Lovely historic home. Convenient location. Really enjoyed the nearby lakeside park. Could’ve used some cereal bowls in the kitchen.

This was a very fun and unique home. We are a fan of older homes and loved the funky decor and exposed brick. We had concerns about it having only window air conditioners (it was very hot) and it being located right next to a gas station but everyone slept fine and the running window air hid any noise that might have been happening. Not sure how that might be during other times of the year. My only suggestion for the owners would be to add a few more bowls to the kitchen supplies. After 2 people ate we had to wash the bowls so the other 2 could eat. We did find a 3rd bowl the next day but I think guests would appreciate a few more. We really liked the variety and selection of glasses though. Clearly a place by a college is used more to drink at than eat at but a balance of both would be good.

Very pleasant week long stay. ProsSuper conveniently located, can walk to many restaurants/barsOwners are very responsive Beds are comfortable Bonus tiny bedroom (only has a twin bed, no closet)Ice maker in freezerSpacious living areasWell kept Great parking Home has many original historic touchesCons Bathrooms are very smallMinimal storage in bedrooms (closets only have hooks)No direct access to house from driveway Minimal window coveringsWe did not find the gas station next door to be an issue. I would suggest taking earplugs and sleep masks. I would not recommend more than 4 people for more than a long weekend due to the bathrooms.

We absolutely loved "The Gem." The three of us stayed overnight during a trip to the Finger Lakes. It was beautifully decorated, clean and included all the appropriate amenities. Communication with the host was very good. She was helpful and responsive. It was easy to get in with the key code and very easy to find. I cannot recommend her and this house enough. What a great experience. I will be staying here again. Thank you, thank you!

Easy walking downtown. 2 big beds were comfortable, 2 smaller mattresses a little thin. Would recommend to friends.

We came to see HWS at the end of several days away from home on a college tour with 3 friends. This was just right with space for everyone to separate and relax. Very clean and spacious. Only suggestions are room darkening shades in bedroom (esp king) bc lights from gas station next door are bright. It was noisier than I expected but a white noise app helped immensely. Very clean, had all we needed! Driveway parking a definite plus. Thank you!

Everything was fantastic from booking, to checking in, to the stay, and departing...we could not have asked for more. If we bring friends up again to wine country, we will definitly look to stay in this house again. Great location to downtown restaurants and the waterfront.

We loved our stay here. We were close to everything and were even able to walk to dinner (in the colder winter temps) so no one had to worry about having a cocktail and then driving. Will definitely stay again.

The Gem had all accommodations needed. We stayed 3 nights while vacationing. Enjoyed the fun atmosphere of the home, plenty of room. Gas station next store had late night noise, but not bad. Easy walking downtown. 2 big beds were comfortable, 2 smaller mattresses a little thin. Would recommend to friends.

We had a GREAT night at the property. So comfy and welcoming. Quiet and within walking distance to some good restaurants… one comment or suggestion might be to laminate some instructions and place near some of the appliances. We did not know that they would be in the binder on the table and had to bother the host. Otherwise - we had a group of 6 girls for a fun weekend and everyone was very satisfied with their stay. So clean and updated! Great space

What a great place to stay with friends (7 of us)! So much space on the ground floor and the bedrooms upstairs were clean and spacious, bedding fresh and aesthetic! And Geneva is such a great town to shop, eat and drink, just a short 2 minute walk down the road. And while there is only 1 full bath and 1 half bath, all the other amenities more than make up for it, just get one of your party make a shower schedule lol. Also plenty of parking in the driveway plus you can park overnight on the wide one way street the house is on. (We didn’t hear any noise from the gas station, honestly I forgot it was there.)
