quick trip home
We had a great time on the property. It was close enough that my sister and family were able to come for the evening and grill out, swim, and hang out by the lake. The property was lovely though I must have missed the detail about the stairs. The house was generally quite clean.

Lively lakeside retreat
Great, well appointed house right on the lake. Beautiful lake views from kitchen, living room and even the shower! The brand new dock was a wonderful spot to take in the calm lake views. Wyers Point Rd. Had little traffic, so it was nice going for walks everyday.
Looking forward to visiting again.

We loved our stay! Beautiful home- right in the water with a great dock and swimming area. Great beds, linens and a well stocked kitchen. We brought pizza dough and there was a pizza pan- score! Quiet lake, great wildlife and quiet neighbors. Please stop by the Wyckoff farms stand, it’s just down the road and has amazing produce and a burger pack to bring home to grill- so good! The kayaks were a wonderful perk and our kids loved it too!

Beautiful setting on the lake
The stairs are no joke, so pack light. The house is dated, but sufficient. Could definitely use some updating and the cleanliness was lacking. The lake view, kayaks, and dock were awesome. Recommend Wyckoff Farms stand down the road. We had a fun, comfortable stay next to quiet neighbors.

Nice Escape
Place is in a great location to explore the area. Very quiet street and the house is tucked right along the bank of the lake. Having the dock and outdoor patio was so nice! The stairs to access are no joke, so pack light if you can. The house is simply appointed but cozy and comfortable, decent kitchen and bathroom. Only complaint is the cobwebs and dust in the hard to reach areas, but otherwise clean enough. Would go back for sure.

Amazing view!!
We loved being right on the lake. The views were amazing and we could hear the water lapping against the shore. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our long weekend. My only concern was I didn't realize we would be required to go down multiple steps to get to the house. I would have packed differently if I had known.

Perfect Winery Getaway Lake-house!
Wonderful stay for a winery bachelorette celebration this weekend. It was extremely clean, stocked, and perfect for what we were looking for! The only hiccup occurring in the check in process in which I was not contacted with the check in info same day as previously told. However, the customer service is quick and responsive, and this was immediately remedied with a short phone call! The view could not be beat, waking up to the water every morning was a dream! The road had almost no traffic making it perfect for morning walks. We even met some of the neighbors while out and they were so friendly and welcoming! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

Sheldrake Solitude
The property was filthy when we arrived. There was open leftover food on the countertops and in the fridge and a bag of rotting potatoes on top of the fridge. There were mouse droppings on the countertops. Trash containers were not emptied. The property promised a boat and two kayaks. No boat was found and the kayaks were stashed under the house and covered with dirt. The beds were made but, with the condition of the rest of the house, we couldn’t trust that the bedsheets were clean. The offer was made to have the house cleaned the next day. We were unable to load our food into the fridge due to the leftover clutter. We made the difficult decision not to stay at this property. It was our hope to receive at least a partial refund which was denied.

Dear Melanie and Jimmy,
I wanted to extend my gratitude for taking the time to provide feedback about your stay at Sheldrake Solitude. Your safety, comfort, and well-being are paramount to us, and we deeply regret that we did not meet your expectations.
As you may recall, we offered to relocate you to a different rental on the night in question, which you declined. We then proposed cleaning the rental first thing in the morning, as we guarantee 100% housekeeping satisfaction at Finger Lakes Premier Properties, but you also chose not to take us up on that offer.
We understand that you later encountered difficulties using the bathroom due to its narrow design. To avoid such issues in the future, we have detailed floor plans, photos, and virtual tours available on our website to assist guests in selecting the right rental for their needs.
Once again, we apologize for the experience you had and hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future. We have issued a partial refund, which has been credited back to your card.
Thank you for choosing Finger Lakes Premier Properties, and we hope to have another shot at meeting your guest expectations in the Finger Lakes.

Location, location, location
The cottage is situated in a perfect location. It is quiet and serene. We enjoyed sitting on the dock in the mornings, and on the covered porch when it rained. We walked in the mornings and it was pleasant, as the road was not busy. We saw a lot of birds, including an American Eagle soaring past the cottage. It is located close to some wineries. Sheldrake Point Winery is a little over a mile down the road - our favorite on Cayuga. We visited Cornell Lab of Ornithology which was only about a 45 minute drive.
A few suggestions to improve the rental - replace outdoor grill and the toaster. Add another air conditioner downstairs. Put a blind in the upstairs window so people walking down the steps cannot see in. Also, it appears the owner has issues with carpenter bees.
We were surprised by an exterminator one morning at 7AM while we were enjoying coffee on the porch. He was not informed there were guests, and we were not informed of his coming. He sprayed the sides of the house while we were there and was going to come back to spray the porch.

Hi Gwen, Thank you for taking the time to rate your experience at Sheldrake Solitude. The toaster has been replaced and a new AC unit has been installed downstairs. We will look into your suggestion about replacing the grill and putting in blinds in the upstairs window- both great ideas. Careful consideration was put into scheduling pest control when no one was in the house and we sincerely apologize that the appointment was rescheduled without our knowing. Please consider giving us another chance at providing you with a superior experience- you won’t regret it!
