Bonskeid House

Property was fabulous and very clean as advertised. 4 bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs, with 3 of the 4 facing the lake with great views, and one of the upstairs bedrooms with access to the wrap-around deck. Fully equipped kitchen with everything needed for even a long stay. Plus, with the management company's welcome gift, there was no need to bring anything. Upper level deck with 2 umbrella-covered tables & fantastic view of the lake, a large grill and space for relaxation and meals (breakfast overlooking the lake is marvelous). Under the deck is a patio area with the large hot tub (partially under the deck) & large gravel covered area for eating, etc. 2 living areas, 1 upper & 1 lower, both with TVs (Roku) are very comfortable with plenty of space. There is also a TV in one of the upper bedrooms. The lower level is accessible only through the garage but was not that bad (3 stairs down from the laundry area, then another flight of stairs to the lower level). The lower level can be locked & then must be accessed from the patio area door via a lockbox with a key (contact the management company for code). The property is managed by Finger Lakes Premier Properties (FLPP) & were very responsive for the booking and any other stay-related issues. Be ready to provide a picture ID if this is your 1st stay with FLPP. Plenty of information on the property and the stay were provided immediately following the booking with the door access code arrived a week prior to stay.

The house was very private and seemed very secluded. Many deer were seen on the drive down the long driveway. The kitchen was nicely stocked and had everything you need to cook and entertain. The bedrooms were comfortable. The downstairs' bedrooms were nice for our family with kids. As mentioned with other review, there was a musty smell in the downstairs area. Best part was the lakeside access and availability to kayaks and a paddle board.

As always, FLPP makes the process seamless. This is an excellent property as long as you don't mind taking a tram down to the water. A big bonus is the number of water "toys" available including paddleboards, kayaks, etc.

Overall great experience! House is great location and well stocked. The escalator was key to enjoying the lake and fishing. The driveway down to the house is newly paved and was a great surprise. The access to the basement bedrooms via the garage did not bother us whatsoever. Would consider booking again in the future. Great overall memories were made here.

Lovely location and house!

Pros: Beautiful house, very clean, lots of room, well stocked kitchen with many small appliances, elevator down to lake. Cons: Light switches that do not turn on lights, temperature control issues, to get to downstairs section you have to go through a garage, fireplace does not appear safe, lack of exterior lighting. We had a big storm and lost power, we contacted property management, and they kept us updated. Next day late afternoon called again because tv and internet was out. Contacted again and they tried to fix but had to call company service. Due to location a generator would be a great addition. Two bedrooms are upstairs and two bedrooms are downstairs, but you have to go through the garage. Its a bit weird setup. Huge full kitchen upstairs and small bar and mini kitchen area with refrigerator which was nice. The thermostat was difficult to work as it seemed preset and scheduled. Very cold the first two nights then I found a space heater. View is beautiful. Large deck with outdoor tables and chairs. I wish our weather was nicer so we could enjoy it. Hot tub was relaxing. I loved that we could bring our dog, they even left a goody bag for him. Plenty of wineries close by, some within a 5 minute drive.

Pros: Lots of room, many small appliances available, beautiful view. Power went out and property manager kept us updated then internet was out from strong winds and they got it fixed next day. Wineries within 5 minute drive. My dog loved coming with us and the goody bag. Cons: Light switches that do nothing or do not work, downstairs separate and have to go through a cold garage, heat controls upstairs do not work, a generator would be amazing for when power goes out, fireplace has issues.

This home was spacious and comfortable,  it created many wonderful memories.  And the hot tub was a great end to the evening.

I stayed for a girls weekend and what a lovely place. Tastefully decorated and had everything you needed. Looked like the whole place was recently remodeled and more being done. I would love to see how it looked before being remodeled. I was also checking it out to possibly take my family and stay here but no dates were available as of yet. The view over the lake was gorgeous and I liked that it was very private not a place close to everyone else. Simply Beautiful!
