Amazing Property
Our group of thirteen had a great time swimming in the pond, and driving the ATV across the 220 acres. The pond was loaded with fish and turtles. It was the cleanest pond I've experienced in a long time. The paddleboat and canoe were a big hit with our group. The pond even has a cabana-like dock that some were brave enough to jump off (I wouldn't dive off it because around the dock the water might not be deep enough). However, the pond's deepest point is 18 feet deep, so it's quite a large pond. The property seems to have every possible feature and amenity you could ever want. Everyone was sad when the fun finally came to an end.

Thank you Oliver for your kind remarks !
A great place for a big family hugfest.
We never felt crowded with 17 people. Since we had good weather, the swimming pond was a hub of activity. All enjoyed tours of the 220 acres on the 6 passenger ATV, we saw a coyote! The big porch was our evening outdoor living room for crafts and karaoke. Perfect for a large family gathering.

Hidden Gem
We absolutely LOVED our stay at this property. It is a hidden gem. We had children of various ages from 2-17 and there was something for all of them. If you are looking for a place to stay that is kid friendly and fits many families, then this is the place for you! There are many different toys, foosball table, swing set, ping pong table, bikes, high chairs and pack n plays. Even on the rainy days the kids had fun and the adults were able to enjoy the view from the porch. Would highly recommend this place. The owner responds quickly to all questions and requests. One of the children left their blankets behind and he was kind enough to arrange someone to meet us there to pick them up. Very happy!

Just What We Were Looking For
Quiet, peaceful, secluded but close to conveniences and fun places to go. Property is beautiful, house was large enough for our family of 17. We could all sit around the dinner table or the two picnic tables outside. Lots of things for the children to do (ages 6-17). Loved the big porch-perfect place to sit and read.

Excellent Family Vacation Spot!
This rental had it all - swimming pond (also has decent sized bass and blue gill), woods to explore (We were able to create a great obstacle course up by the pond), ATV with trails (all around the 220 acres), large outdoor fire pit area, level ground for staging games (we held an Olympics event with room for 15 different events around the property), kids swing set visible from the porch, and toys galore! There was a large area for indoor meals which would easily hold 12 adults, 16 if you really like each other. There were two additional tables in close proximity to hold kids and extra members of the group. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with utensils, appliances, dishes, dishwasher, large prep area. The separate ‘guest house’ was great for our group members with young kids who needed some quiet for daily naps and early bedtimes. The porch area was also very comfortable with multiple seating areas and two large picnic tables.
The host was excellent - met us for instruction on the ATV use (extra charge but well worth it!), then made himself scarce but responded to questions literally within minutes!
If you are looking for an area with lots of places to go for activities or shopping, this is not for you — the closest Walmart and Wegmans are about 17-20 minutes away. We didn’t stray from the property except for groceries but had plenty to keep us busy and entertained the entire week! If you are looking for your own private ‘resort’ that is kid friendly (not full of high end furniture or breakables but definitely full of kids toys, outdoor toys, and even high chairs) and will make both you and your family feel at home, this place is definitely your go-to! We went mid summer but I would also love to visit in the winter for the adventure of it!
I was sad to see that our week was already booked for next year - we’ll have a hard time beating this location!

Family vacation
Property was awesome. Pond was big hit. Lots of swimming and fishing. Felt isolated ,but still close to stores etc. Awesome state parks close by. Owner was great gave us our privacy yet available to answer questions. Perfect spot for our family reunion we held there. Everyone wants to come back in the future!

Great stay!
We booked this house for a short getaway with extended family. Plenty of space to spread out, as well as to join in one room for meals and games. David was a great host and always responded quickly to our questions.

The Best VRBO Secret in NY
We booked this three day get-a-way with Property owner David to sneak in one last family weekend before the winter.
Our group consisted of 8 adults and 5 kids (ages ranging from newborn to 5 years old).
Davids VRBO blew away our expectations.
The entire house (rooms, bathrooms, kitchen) was very clean and had great character.
The property was amazing. We fished at the pond with Property Owner Davids fishing poles. David even took the time to dig up worms to surprise the kids prior to our arrival. The fishing, canoe/paddle boat, and the beach toys in the shed were a big hit with the kids.
We had great weather each day to hike the trails and to also use Davids ATV to explore all 220 acres of land from sunrise to sunset.
I would advise to anyone renting this property to do the ATV Rental to use Davids 6 Person ATV. It is totally worth the Extra Cost and makes the trip 100x better knowing you have that spacious ride to take the kids and adults around for a cruise. We enjoyed watchIng all of the wildlife from the ATV, especially the deer.
At night, David has a very nice fire pit area with chairs and a bench for s’mores around the fire.
Overall - the property is perfect for anybody looking to get a away and to enjoy the outdoors. The house has everything you need and more. The pictures do not do justice for this house - great character and cleanest house we have ever been in for a VRBO rental. David is a great guy. You can tell he goes above and beyond for his renters. David will call you the day before your rental begins to go over his check-in, where to get the keys, what you need to do prior to check out time, and to go over property/house rules. David is always a phone call away for any questions, and truly wants you and your family to have a great time.
The kids are already asking to come back next year to this amazing property!

A great home for a large group
The house was comfortable for all of us. We were a large group of friends, relatives and a couple of local of visitors. The house was very, very clean, all the way through and well kept. Our group had no complaints at all - not even one. The big plus that everybody liked and were happy with, the long dining table and benches - perfect!
Less than 1/2 hour from Letchworth State Park (The Grand Canyon of the East), we were blessed at the best time to see the Autumn colors of the area - it was eye popping colorful. I only jumped out of my car once to take pictures. I could have probably done it more often but we were a convoy of five cars on some narrow country roads. Unfortunately, it rained the majority of the time we were there, so we only got to one winery.
There is a pond on the property that four of us went out for a walk (in the rain). There are 2 paths that would take you there. We took the left path and unknowingly, totally passed the pond! We were so in awe of the Autumn colors, we were facing away from the pond and passed it by!!! I thought that was totally hilarious, when we realized what we had done!
Dave was almost always available and when he wasn’t he’d call back in minutes. He’s very open, informative and easy to talk to. He was very helpful when the house had a couple of problems but they were taken care of immediately - no hesitations, no complaints, no blaming.
Like I said, no one in our party had any complaints. My wife and I stayed at the Guest House, we’re not complaining but here’s what could be improved:
-Wifi does not reach Guest House
-The bedroom had no closet but could use wall or door hooks
-Bedroom mirrors would be appreciated - for the women.
Thanks Dave!

What a great property!
Our family had the best time at David’s property! We had more than enough room for everyone with the 7 bedrooms and ample amount of living space. The kitchen had everything and more! Having two fridges was also very helpful since we had multiple people bringing a good amount of perishable foods. The large variety of kids indoor and outdoor toys kept all 6 kids very busy. They were thrilled to have new toys to play with. The property is GORGEOUS! Especially during this time of year. David was very attentive with any questions I had before arriving. He called to explain the check in process the day before arrival. He was very thorough. Overall, we loved everything about the property! We have already talked about booking it again next year. Thanks David for making our first annual family reunion a success!!
