Had the best time in Geneva to celebrate my bachelorette! The house fit all of us comfortably, the house was clean and organized, and the beds were very comfy! We cooked at the house 3 out of the 5 days of our stay and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed! The pool was nice and refreshing, the house had many pool towels for us to use. The large deck out back held us all for a private morning yoga session! The house was confidently located to wineries, downtown, and restaurants. The road also had a great sidewalk stroll by the water across the street for morning walks! We can’t wait to return!

Hobart William Smith Graduation Weekend.
Our stay at Lakeview on Main was fantastic! The home is so beautiful and the location was magnificent. We were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the view of the lake across the street. We had very two minor issues that required a repair. When calling the owners, they worked on our time schedule and had someone over in a heartbeat and were more than incredibly responsive. We absolutely loved it. It was a perfect weekend to celebrate our son’s graduation topped off by staying in a stunning home as opposed to a hotel. We highly recommend staying at Lakeview on Main.

Awesome historic home made for a great 4th of July vacation in the Finger Lakes region
The property was very cool for our vacation. We had very hot temps and used the pool extensively. There is not central air, but they have several window units that provided a comfortable climate inside the house. The house is very unique and has several spaces to congregate and eat both inside and outside the home. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans and utensils and place settings and some of the sharpest knives I have used in a rental! The home is centrally located in the finger lakes and allowed us to take day trips to waterfalls, hiking and biking venues. There was a wide variety of places to eat and drink including several cool breweries and wineries. The only thing we would want to see before our next stay would be a washer and dryer but there was a laundromat close by that worked for us. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to this area!!
really cool quaint old home with great upgrades
very nice pool and private/quiet backyard
no washer/dryer
second full bath is in the basement - which could be super cool if the basement was a bit more finished
would stay again
