A wonderful holiday at the five finger lakes
Hi Folks! We are a family with two boys (11 and 10) from Germany and we had the great luck to find this little house directly placed at the Honeoye Lake. After 4 days of NY Citiy and Niagrafalls, full of impressions and lots of walking we arrived at this little Cottage of C.`s. Already at the first sight over the lake we where refreshed after all the hurry we had before. We really enjoyed to stay at this house because we had time to rest in the peace of the waterfront and at the same time it was an adventure for our kids who where playing softball on the huge lawn in front of the house and went canoeing and rowing with C.´s boats. We had day trips to waterfalls, flyfishing course in Keuka Lake (nature museum) and went fishing with friends of ours at Canandaigua Lake. In between we just relaxed on the terasse or on the closed porch of the house (if there where a few drops of rain), overlooking the lake.
In the mornings the sun was shining on the balcony of the house and we had our first tea in the morning sun or we were sitting at the dining table, the sun shining on our breakfast table and at the same time looking on the lake, seeing the boots floating at the little docks.
As we were on holiday with lots of time an no work, we loved to cook in the really good equipped kitchen and even had our friends for dinner. The nearby supermarket (3minutes drive) has everything you need and you don't miss any leasuretime, because you have no long way to get what you need.
The house itself is really nice, cosy and clean. As there are 2 Bedrooms, you even have your privacy in the night. If you are there with more than 4 people, there are 3 big really comfortable couches to sit on in the evening or I could imagine even sleep on them.
There is a huge TV and even Wireless Lan in the house, so you don't need to miss civilization.
Since we are back to Germany, we are looking for a similar house, but we didn´t succeed jet. Eventually we have to go back to C.´s house I guess.
Looking foreword to it!! C. is a great host, very trustworthy and even coming from Germany we managed to find the House and got every support from him we needed. It is really worth planing a holiday or even a weekend there! Recreation will be guaranteed.
