This is a very large older home. Our family lived the kitchen, wrap around porch and large dining room.We were unable to swim in the lake except by boat out in the center. The sulfur water was a bit strong and there were bees in the attic and ants in the kitchen. Nothing you would not see in an older house.
We loved our stay at the Dragonfly Inn. The house is huge, the deep porch is fabulous, the small boats got heavy use, and there is so much to do in the area.
The photos do not show how beautiful this property is! We all had an amazing time and it was wonderful to do it all under one roof! So much space to sleep. Beautiful wrap around porch and yard! Thank you!
This rental was exactly what we were hoping it would be and more. Plenty of beds and space for all of out 16 guests. Would definitely 10/10 stay here again.
The property had a lot of space and room for everyone to have their space to sleep. And the lake was beautiful. We wish the living room was set up differently so there could be more communal areas for everyone to hangout. The big issue was that areas were not accessible as the listing said. It said that the lake front was accessible but there was no way we could get a wheelchair down there. We had issues in the house as well and were planning on using the wheelchair outside to get the downstairs bedrooms, but that was not possible. We also didnât know that there would be well water. We definitely wouldâve brought more water if we had known. Luckily there is a Dollar General down the street.
The house is wonderful for a large group. Kitchen fully equipped to serve a crowd and we were all able to sit together for meals. Beautiful wrap around porch and lots of yard space.
The only downside is the lake - unfortunately no one was able to swim du to the condition of the lake (hab). It seems that this is an ongoing issue with the lake.
We loved our family weekend here, host was great to work with. Large home with huge side & front porch, many bedrooms, large kitchen and dining areas. Only negative was sulfur/well smell when running water, even when flushing toilet, it was too strong for us so we shut bathroom doors and used all our own water.
Our first cousin weekend was a great success. The dragonfly inn made it as easy as can be for us all to have a lot of fun with everything we need on hand. Great location on the lake. For our next stay we would like to be there for a few more days when itâs a little warmer out. Beautiful place. Host was grea. very responsive and accommodating
My very large family, spanning several generations, had a wonderful time at this location. There was something to do for everyone - a spacious dock, a huge backyard, and plenty of indoor space as well. We especially enjoyed the large, wrap-around porch that gave us lots of room where we could relax and hide from a couple of quick rain showers. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. We look forward to returning in the future!
When we got to the cottage, we notice that the owner redid the kitchen and bathroom. Everything was clean when we got there. Only thing that might be better is steps to the water. Great Week. Will do again.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Three siblings with our children and grandchildren for a total of 18 plus a one year old and a one month old. Everyone was able to spread out and have their own space if they chose. Also, plenty of areas to gather as a groupâŠeat, chat, fish, and play games. Quite a few stairs and steep walk to the water could be difficult for some. We brought water bottles and jugs of water due to the well water. The sulfur smell did not bother us at allâŠit was very faint at times. Golf, ice cream, and pickleball were close by! We also went into Hammondsport, Watkins Glen, and Penn Yan.
Our 3 generation family of 20+ has been gathering to celebrate New Years for over 40 years, and the Dragonfly Inn was wonderful. The review from Melissa T. (Nov 2021) was spot on, and every point she made was perfectly said. I recommend reading her great review.
We had water delivered from Avoca Spring Water (highly recommend as well) and bought an inexpensive manual pump from lowes (Vitapur-Manual-Water-Pump/1003174804) . The combination was perfect for our cooking and drinking needs.
This property is everything it has been represented and more. We were a family group of 27 and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed. We brought paper plates for ease of use but ended up using everything that was already there.
The grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed a week of fabulous sunsets and set up a badminton net on the lawn.
The water implements were good as well. We used the kayaks and other available boats.
I loved the bed covers and the decorations. I bought a water cooler and had water delivered. 10 5 gallon jugs sufficed.
Thank you for a wonderful family vacation.
There were plenty of activities locally to satisfy old and young.
We are so excited to find a property that is able to house our large family for a Thanksgiving celebration. We had a wonderful time! The home is comfortable and provided various spaces for us to gather.
Gary responded very quickly to each of our questions and provided a very helpful floor plan. The bedrooms are larger than they appeared on the floor plan. Two of the common space sleeping areas provided more privacy than we had anticipated.
The property has a beautiful view of the lake and a wonderful fire pit that we were able to enjoy despite being there in November! While the house is located close to the road, many cars can be parked in the space provided.
There were plenty of plates, bowls, glasses, mugs and silverware for all of our needs. The long dining room and extra folding tables provided seating for all of us!
We were forewarned that the water has an odor. It does and we chose not to use it for drinking or cooking. The owners would like bottled water to be used in the coffee pots. Be certain to bring the drinking water that you will need for the duration of your stay.
We stayed here for a week long family getaway; there was more than enough room for all of us (from the grandparents down to the toddler) and we all easily found something to do. Some memorable highlights included sitting out on the wraparound porch morning, noon, and night, kayaking on the lake, catching fish, taking the rowboat out for a couple of spins, and even swimming off the dock. Even with the seaweed mats down, there was a TON of seaweed around the dock and we spent some time clearing it away before we got in the water. The yard is a definite slope down to the water, but we knew that going in. If you plan on sitting outside at night, be liberal with the bug spray! Bedrooms were good sizes with plenty of room. We all assumed weâd be fine to drink the water as we all grew up with well water but trust me when I say that you want to bring your own water - the well does smell extremely sulfuric and, even though the water is fine to drink, it stinks. We really enjoyed our stay here although we did think it a little rude that the cleaning lady showed up an hour early and started cleaning while we were still loading up our cars. That felt a bit unnecessary. But, overall, a great location and a nice spot to spend the week.
My husband Gary and I live near Buffalo, NY and own a floor covering store in Lockport NY. Nancy grew up 12 miles north of Penn Yan and is familiar with life in the Finger Lakes. We started renting a cottage on Waneta Lake in 1992 and by 2000, we were ready to buy a place of our own, and you'll find us there most weekends during the summer down the lake from the Dragonfly Inn.
We have an acre of lawn to give you buffer space from other houses as well room for volley ball, and pick up football or soccer games. The very large wrap around porch lends shade from the sun and protection from the wind and rain and provides space for your entire group to lounge on one side. The spacious home provides a variety of active and relaxed areas for the diverse interests of a large group.
Our cottage, in addition to having access to all fishing and water sports, is close to dozens of wineries, The Windmill outdoor market (Saturdays only), Watkins Glen Motor Speedway, Corning Glassworks, Curtis Wright museum, and festivals happening throughout the summer at neighboring lakes and villages.
