Everything was fine except the toilet was scary. It was not attached to the floor and rocked pretty intensely whenever used. The place was nicely appointed and cozy. The host was very attentive!

Cozy stay in charming barn
We found the decor charming and the beds and pillows super comfy. Lovely property with a pond and hiking path to enjoy. Would definitely book again!
Loved this cozy barn with it's beautiful property. So much better than I could've imagined. It is so quiet and peaceful with beautifully kept walking trails that take you to stunning lookouts of rolling green meadows. Perfect spot to relax and recharge. Will be staying here again.

Cute cozy space
Cute but cramped. Big furniture in a small space. Kitchen is spacious with some thoughtful accessories. 1 of the bedrooms is nice, but the other is entirely too small for the bed. Shower is in the hallway. Yard is gorgeous and lots of room for pups to roam and run. Location is within easy driving distance to town and 2 finger lakes. Host is very nice and accessible during stay.

Inspire your inner artist’s heart
Almost indescribable in words, this haven is breathtakingly beautiful in nature and nurture. The grounds are spectacular— there’s a pond with very audible bullfrogs, miles of pristine, mowed trails around fields—raccoons, bunnies, and a super chill and handsome cat. My golden retriever and I had the week of our life. The interior is curated perfectly for the setting with a true artist’s eye. I have never stayed in such an awesome place. I’ll be back for sure.

Sarah was wonderful getting us what we needed. The Hawthorne is a really great space. The bathroom is a bit awkward with the toilet wobbling on paint stirrers when it could easily be fixed with a surface pour of self leveling underlayment over the concrete to level it then bolt it down. This space is full of large furniture in the bedrooms making it not easily maneuverable or bed accessible. Great space that could be amazing with a little design and completion of deferred maintenance.

Last minute cancellation and poor communication
I was traveling with my kids and dog to see the solar eclipse on April 8 and had booked this place months in advance. At 5:30 PM on April 7 and after two hours of driving, I stopped for gas and saw a message from the owner (sent at 430pm) that she was canceling my reservation. I found her number and called and she explained there was an electrical issue and apologized, and offered a refund, but no other help. Had she taken the time or effort to actually call me at 430 she would have saved me hours of driving, but since I was already over halfway there, I felt like I had less options. I ended up finding a much more expensive pet friendly room (which was in extremely short supply for the eclipse), and asked if she would be willing to help cover the difference in costs because she left me in such a bind. Not surprisingly to me at this point I got no response to that request. To top things off I later saw a review posted on April 8 from someone saying that they had an excellent girls weekend and the timing shows April 2024, so I feel like I was booted for another group with no compensation. VRBO will only compensate for stays of two nights or more, so I was left with no recourse. Since I didn’t actually stay at the property, I gave it three stars for cleanliness and other property related items, but one star or less for communication and overall experience. Buyer beware.
This property was absolutely gorgeous and amazing cozy! We stayed for a girls trip weekend and nicer than pictures. So charming and so nice to wake up and sun coming up over the pond outside the doors. Close to things to do and Sarah was so easy to work with!
This place is Amazing! Can’t wait to stay here again! Such a Relaxing atmosphere and very artistic!❤️,Denise
I had a great time , very much enjoyed the space and time put into the decor etc. once of the best relaxing weekends in a while. DJ
Really cute space amidst a gorgeous landscape. Very creative design and use of an existing barn. The space could have used a little extra cleaning in some of the lesser used areas. There were also some rough-around-the-edges aspects that made it feel a little more barn-like than I’d prefer. Overall, it’s a wonderful place that could use just a little more love.

Get back to yourself!
I LOVED staying on this property. It was so cozy, relaxing, it felt like our own little slice of peace! The barn was beautiful the unit was so cute and I loved the esthetic! A bonus was that it was right in-between the beautiful town of Skaneateles and the 1911 cidery/distillery. Staying at this property was the perfect break for me and made me feel more like myself after getting away from the daily grind. Absolutely will re-book!

Please read before you book this property.
THIS PROPERY IS NOT SAFE. THE 'HOST' IS SHADY AT BEST. THERE'S A REASON THE PICTURES ARE BLURRY AND NO OUTSIDE PHOTO'S ON VRBO. THIS MISTAKE COST ME OVER $2000.00.
Ongoing loud construction during my stay in the host's apartment above the unit I rented. My pets were scared the entire stay.
The unsafe construction for pets and me in the unit.
The kitchen was haphazardly installed allowing my pets to access spaces where I couldn't reach them and I wasn't even sure if they were still on the property.
There were loose and accessible wiring in the cabinet/kitchen setup where my pets were going and where I had to reach into when looking for my pets.
The 'fire exit' was not safe because the sliding door could not be opened when closed. I had to sit on the floor and shove my fingers under the door and move it one inch at a time to get it to open. The 'fire exit' door was part of the toilet area. Because I had to leave it open I was exposed to a window when I used the toilet.
The shower was exposed so when I stepped out of the shower I only had a small area to stand to not be exposed.
3. The water in the unit was not drinkable. I had to drive almost an hour round trip to get bottled water to drink. The smell and taste was awful.
4. The water that did come out of the faucet was only a dribble if the host was using the water above me.
5. The unit smelled of urine.
6. This unit had refrigerators and junk covered in tarps outside.

Artsy, rustic peaceful setting
This barn has been creatively made into cozy spaces in a beautiful rural setting. The pond area and trails into the fields were fun to explore with our dog. The beds were comfortable and it was a comfy space for the two of us. There are a couple steps to navigate between the sleeping area and the kitchen and bathroom. Something to be aware of if there are mobility concerns.
