From the moment you arrive, the charm of Sweet Water is evident. A scenic driveway leads you to the property, where lake views greet you through the length of the home.

The lake view!

This is our annual family vacation - with our family and my brother-in-law and his family. We have adored the finger lakes and love getting a pontoon boat and watching the kids battle the wake on a tow-behind. Having a house with a dock is so great to enable multiple days on the lake easily!

Great spot and house!
The house looked exactly like the pictures - clean, comfortable, well equipped, and a great yard! I appreciated that everything was labeled in the house, so it was clear what each light switch did and where to put back kitchen things after using them. The fenced yard is great for a dog. Mine enjoyed the freedom. The house slept 8 comfortably - comfy beds! I already plan to stay again next year! Highly recommend.

Awesome lake view getaway
Beautiful place - so clean and super cozy!Absolutely loved the views of the lake and enjoyed hanging out on the back patio (the hot tub was perfect too). The beds were super comfortable and the neighborhood quiet - slept like a baby the whole time there! Also loved all the attention to small details. We will definitely return in the warmer months to fully enjoy the outdoor amenities.

Weekend stay
The house was immaculate with attention to details to make it comfortable for guests. We had a question and management was very responsive. We did not have the best weather but still beautiful so I added a couple pics. Highly recommend.

Getaway weekend
Very nicely decorated, good kitchen with all needed supplies and amazing views! Living room is comfortable for 4 adults. Mattresses could use updating. House was very clean, but hot tub could use more effort.

This house was absolutely beautiful and well maintained.
Very clean- providing sheets and blankets, towels, and even a very cute welcome bag with dog treats (we brought our pets) as well as paper towels and soap. To me it was a wonderful mix of the ease of a hotel with the comfort and privacy of renting a house. Beautiful views and the hot tub was warm and ready for use! Already talking about when to come back!

The back porch was so relaxing that we found it difficult to leave.
Sweet Water was very clean and well supplied from kitchen to watercraft and life jackets. Sunrise and views of the moon over the lake were amazing.

We had an incredible stay at Sweet Water. The lakeside property comes with a large fenced in yard, perfect for four legged friends. The dock was beautiful, and was the perfect setting for a proposal (she said yes!). The house is 10-20 minutes from a number of top tier wineries, we highly recommend Three Brothers and Thirsty Owl. I can say with certainty that we'll definitely be looking to book again in the future.
