A wonderful place to stay especially if you have boats!
Myself and members of the PSU Bass Fishing Team were lucky enough to book this house for our tournament on Cayuga lake. The property is beautiful and has a wonderful backyard and view of the lake. Donna was one of the best hosts we have had while traveling the country and I hope to come back and visit again. Myself and the team highly recommend!

Family trip to area
We had a wonderful time at this home in the town of Ledyard/Aurora. My husband, me, our son and daughter-in-law and our 2 grandchildren (2 and 4 y/o) stayed with us. Visited for a family birthday party in Scipio. The home is comfortable, lovely views and peaceful. Beautiful vistas with Cayuga Lake in the distance. Hope to be back again in near future.

Graduation with family
The property was a perfect place for our family to enjoy graduation weekend. The 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms gave us ample space for everyone to be comfortable. We really took advantage of the outdoor area for grilling and dining plus games at the table. The living room comfortably held all of us as we sadly watched our team lose in the NBA playoffs! And the view of the lake, especially from the master bedroom, was a wonderful surprise. Finally, the location was convenient to our day spent at local wineries and a brewery!

A wonderful stay in the heart of Aurora
We truly enjoyed our stay at Donna’s spacious, sunny , airy home. The house has lake Seneca views from each room. The house was spotless, with plenty of room for our family of 6. We woke up each morning to the birds singing and no noises of any kind. The outdoor patio, wraparound porch and gas grill made our stay even more pleasant. Donna is a wonderful host who was very cordial and always available by phone or text. We would definitely stay here again

Finger Lakes get-away
This was our first trip to the Finger Lakes area and we had a lovely weekend. The house was very clean and spacious, our group of six all had separate bedrooms and bathrooms. We barbecued on the back deck and watched the sunset in the evening. The kitchen was well stocked, and Donna left us some locally grown green beans. We were close to town and ate at Fargo’s and 1833 Kitchen and Bar, and had drinks at Aurora Brewing Co. Donna was a great host and check in and check out were a breeze. The only downside was the bedrooms lacked air conditioning, but ceiling fans and box fans were provided. Overall, a great weekend getaway!

Great location to Aurora
Overall the property was in a great location. It is within walking distance if you are in decent shape, we had some older folks who could not walk the hill though to town. Some items in the house need a little TLC but it had a great layout and well stocked for utensils, etc in the kitchen. Only downside was that the bedrooms did not have AC. There was only a split unit in the living area and unfortunately it wasn’t able to keep some of the bedrooms cool for sleeping. Probably great sleeping weather in the fall ,but July is not the time to stay here with some older folks in our party.

Beautiful house with beautiful views
Donna and Dave were so accommodating. The house was wonderfully appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The one air conditioning unit did struggle to cool the bedrooms, but it was an unseasonably hot weekend (over 90 during the days and didn't cool off below 70 at night). The many fans kept us comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, even in the summer. We loved being so close to town while still having peace and quiet.

Beautiful Aurora, NY town!
Our stay was a very nice one in a four-bedroom home with a view of Cayuga Lake. It is a quaint little town with many beautiful structures in the downtown setting near the water. The Aurora Inn is spectacular and the walking paths near the home we stayed at were great. The home we stayed in was ecliptic style and was very clean with a nice outdoor setting. We visited waterfalls on both Cayuga and Seneca Lakes and most of our party had our first hot air balloon ride over the fall foliage and Cayuga Lake. We also visited many wineries in the area which is one of the more popular activities of those who choose Finger Lakes as their vacation destination. Highly recommend this area!
