Petit Retreat
The house is small, hence why it is named "Petit Retreat". My husband and I stayed for a week while I attended a quilting workshop at Wells College. It is nicely decorated and very clean and well appointed. The view of the lake is lovely. There is a Mennonite market about 15 minutes away. Unlike staying near an ocean or bay where you hear the sound of the wind and water, lakes by their nature are quiet. As a result, sound travels far and the houses are very close together so you can hear conversations from other homes even when people are talking in a normal tone. That being said, the neighbors are very considerate and you have to be as well. If you mind having homes in close proximity this is not the house for you. It was very quiet and having central air conditioning in the hotter weather made our stay comfortable and relaxing.

We had a great time at Petite Retreat. Good location, close to many wineries and restaurants. Beautiful views and nice outdoor area to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. |

Our family of four enjoyed our stay. The view of the sunrises were beautiful. The location was close to interesting attractions and wineries. The house was cozy and provided cards and board games to play. We will definitely be back for a visit. |

Beautiful home on the lake!
Stayed for a long weekend, had everything we needed. We did not use the kitchen but it would have been perfect to cook a meal. Great views, loved the kayaks and dock, close to Seneca Falls and wineries. Extra blankets for cool nights, games for families to play, guitar was fun to play! Would definitely come back and stay again!
Thank you very much for taking the time to rate us 5/5 stars! We are thrilled to hear you would definitely come back and stay again!

Terrific Lake Stay!
Beautiful cabin right on the water. Accommodations were well appointed and very comfortable, and also located very near towns with everything one might need. Cannot recommend this particular cabin highly enough.

Darling Property, a little challenging using the lower level bedroom
Charming cottage! Very clean with a beautiful view of the lake. Our only issue was accessing the lower-level bedroom. My husband is 6'3" and he did not like ducking to that degree going to bed at night. Your listing should probably note that It is not a good fit for tall people. This was our only issue with the cottage.
Thank you very much for taking the time to rate your experience at our rental. We encourage people (especially taller ones) to access the master bedroom by using the walkway to the side of the house and then going in directly through the basement. This way, you don't have to deal with the stairs at all. We are thrilled to see that you enjoyed a wonderful stay with us! We hope to host you at the lake again soon!

Peace and Tranquillity!
Loved our recent stay at Petite Retreat. It is a small house, but it doesn’t feel small! Spent most of my time there on the screened in porch. So relaxing with my morning coffee and happy hour cocktail! We were lucky to not have any neighbors during our stay so we had a lot of privacy when outside as the houses are very close together. The house is beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped for having meals at home. There are not a lot of options close by for groceries or takeout which was a little annoying. Stopped at some great wineries/breweries a short drive from the house. It was so nice to be able to use the kayaks and life preservers at the house. Everything was in great condition. Bumped our heads more than a couple of times on our way down to the master bedroom, but that was a small price to pay for such a lovely stay! Master bedroom was also a little on the damp side, but I definitely wouldn’t let that deter you. Everything else about the place makes up for it!!

house was great and so was the area!
The property and amenities were wonderful. For those looking to enjoy the wineries be warned, almost everything closes around 5PM.
Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again soon.

Great stay and beautiful property right on the lake
We had a great time at the petite retreat. Great accommodations and very clean with perfect lake views and location. We missed not having a dock for our boat but we’re able to park our boat and trailer at the state park less then a 1/4 mile from the house and launch every day. But other then that this place had all the amenities that we wanted and really did not need to bring that much extra supplies with us. My husband and our friends enjoyed fishing right off the deck and caught quite a few bass. It was a beautiful weekend! I would definitely stay there again!
Lesley, Thank you so much for leaving such a nice review. You will be happy to know that the owner of this home just had a dock built at this rental. So for any future stays all guests will have use of that dock.

Petite Retreat
Quaint home right on the lake. It was absolutely beautiful! We loved our stay. I just wish there was an umbrella or covering on the deck.

Incredible Lake Cottage
My family stayed at this Lake Cottage just recently, and this place is Fabulous! I Highly recommend it to everyone.
The cottage is beautiful, clean, well kept, two decks over the lake, the fishing is awesome ... according to my husband and son, and just a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake and fresh air.
We will absolutely be back!
Thank you for letting us rent your place!!!
