August 2009Everything was so great. You really thought of everything you might need or want when you are away. Thank You! The welcome basket was also a really nice treat- we loved the coffee, wine and jave rub! We would love to come back next year!

August 2009Hi! We had a great time. All of your recommendations were perfect. The kids loved Watkins Glen State Park and I think that Longs has one of the nicest selections of children's books I have ever seen.
Thank again for everything!

August 2009We arrived to a meticulously clean house and were pleasantly surprised to find a basket of goodies waiting for us including a bottle of local wine, specialty spices and coffee. The house was well equipped with all the comforts of home (especially the kitchen). Our family of 5 had plenty of room and enjoyed our stay immensely. Kayaks and a sunfish sailboat were available for use which the kids, mom and dad put to good use. From a quiet cup of morning coffee to watching the sunset the multi-level covered porches provided a crows view of the beautiful lake – "It sure was Nice”. What a lovely setting!
I highly recommend “It Shore is Nice”!!

July 2009Dear Kelly and Ed,
We just returned home from our week at your rental cottage. It was beautiful there, inside and out, and you really thought of everything we could possibly need- from the lemon squeezer and ice cream scoop to the life vests and first aid kit. You could write the book. We also enjoyed the white binder with helpful and interesting information.
The kids had a great time jumping off the dock, fishing and kayaking. They liked sleeping in the loft and roasting marshmallows over the bonfire.
Thanks for the welcome basket and all of your thoughtfulness in setting up the cottage. Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Sincerely, Anne

July 2009Dear Kelly,
What a wonderful week we had on Keuka Lake. The cottage was perfect
for our family, places to be together and places for solitude,
beautifully decorated, comfortable, and included extras that made the
week fun for the younger set as well as the older (me). The kids
loved kayaking, we used the sunfish after refreshing our skills using
the instruction booklet, and fished off the end of the dock.
Swimming, campfires, samoras rounded out the days. The cottage
provided everything we needed. Fortunately, the weather was mostly
cooperative and we hated to leave.
Coming home to Penn Yan was nostalgic. As a teenager I worked at
Senaca Farms and Longs was in its infancy. Some things had changed,
others not at all. I was able to attend my high school reunion on
Saturday night where I briefly relived my earlier life among 18 year
olds.
It Shore is Nice is at the top of our list for 2010 vacation plans.
Will you let us know when you open your calendar?
You are so wonderfully organized and thoughtful for guest planning.
Do you do this professionally in some other part of your life?
Many, many thanks.

June 2009We loved our stay on Keuka Lake! We found wonderful things to do within a short drive of the cottage, and filled our time at the cottage with fun as well. My kids had a ball wading into the lake at the rock beach and hanging out on the dock spying fish in the clear water. I had a good time sampling some Finger Lakes wines, and my husband decided that he enjoys fishing more than he had thought. The cottage is well appointed, with a great kitchen, beautiful views, and nicely separated spaces for the kids and adults. We hope to come again.
