I cannot recommend The Cove enough. We stayed in a 2nd flr 2 bedroom cottage. The place was…read morespacious and very nicely kept. Everything was brand new still. We loved having a full kitchen and a grill to cook. We love to go out to eat on vacation but sometimes it's nice to just stay back and enjoy the place where you are staying. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Grant and Chris both helped us through some questions we had and they were beyond nice and welcoming. You could tell they were so proud of the environment they have built here. The best part of The Cove is the pontoon boat you get with each rental. As a boating novice we had plenty of questions. Luckily I was able to find Dale who really helped us learn the tricks of handling the pontoon boat. Having access to your own boat really made this trip special. We rented a tube for tubing and spent most of our days on the lake. The most relaxed I have been in a long time was when we went to the middle of the lake with no one around, turned off the boat, dropped anchor (thanks to Dale showing us how to do that) and just relaxed. The kids played card games, we had lunch and there was nothing to do but enjoy the surroundings. In addition to the boat the kids really loved the pool and playground. The playground was more like a small adventure park to the kids. At night the Cove had movies on the lawn. They watched Encanto and Top Gun Maverick. While the kids were watching the movie my wife and I sat around our fire pit (your first bundle of wood was included). My kid's asked if we could go back again next year. To me that is a sign of somewhere special.

We have been going to the Finger Lakes region for the last few years, but never stay close to the…read morelake. This time we decided to find a rental closer to Seneca Lake, and this cabin was. The location, was great. Close to many wineries and not too far from Geneva's local town to go out to eat and to Wegmans. Our main concerns are actually with the home specifically. The grounds are beautiful. It looks a little colt like, with the way the houses are set up but well maintained and a very welcoming space for our two small dogs to run. What was problematic for us was the inside or structure. The water smelled horrific. It actually smelt like rotten eggs and it was apparent the water had not been treated in a very long time. We actually went and bought gallons of water to cook with, wash our hands, drink and brush our teeth. Only two of us stayed in the home, thankfully, otherwise the smell would have been even worse with more guests. Next, the grill was filthy and had not been cleaned in quite some time. The directions clearly state the renter is responsible to clean the grill and/or the cleaning crew and neither have happened in a while. It was filled with grease and made us apprehensive to even use it with foil. Another major concern was the front step was loose and rocky. When entering, I almost fell a few times. This needs to be fixed for everyone's safety. The cabin was well equipped with all necessary household essentials, but there are several cob webs that need to be cleaned and the bug zapper is filled with bugs (inside the house) which really grossed us out. We appreciate the zapper there to catch bugs inside the house, but the ceilings and zapper need to regularly be cleaned. Finally, the dishwasher is extremely loud/broken and needs to be repaired so we were unable to use that. What is really upsetting is we emailed the owners and expressed all of our concerns and how the above really impacted our stay and we felt the price was not fair in conjunction with what we paid for (over $1200 for 3 nights) Their response confirmed they would be fixing everything we notated and also made mention they planned to sell their property so they were not really worried about what review I would write. While I understand they are going to be moving on, I took that as quite a smack in the face. Basically saying well, we are retiring and selling so we do not care what you have to say. So conclusively, I felt it was necessary to share a true and candid review. ***changed from 2 to 1 stars because now I'm getting nasty emails from the owner. Unreal I'm being harassed because I told the truth. I tried to work with him via email but they weren't even sorry nor cared and claimed I was "bitching". Oh I'm sorry all we wanted was clean non contaminated water, that must be asking way too much from a $400 per night rental. I edited to add that he's now sending harassing emails with lies because he's upset that we told the truth! He's claiming his house was messy and another claiming we left dog poop - all lies! Unreal he would treat people this way. See the photos for his nasty comments. Also, after all of the harassing emails and nasty comments I decided to look up the owners and found out he was sentenced in a pedophile ring!! Omg- how horrific and now I'm worried for my safety. Makes more sense now especially since he was so rude, nasty and demeaning to us. BEWARE do not stay here!! Just look up the owner, Robert Lawty and you'll read some really disturbing news!! Wow, I'm so bothered by this.

Several years ago, my husband, Tony, and I were looking for a nice play to stay during Hall of Fame…read moreWeekend. I reached out to the Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce and learned about a place called A Comfort Woods Guesthouse. The cottage looked wonderful and the owner, Rick Kugler, was well regarded by the Chamber. We enjoyed every minute of of our stay. Rick was wonderful to work with and we fell in love with the cottage. Rick said to let us know if we ever wanted to stay again and he'd be happy to have us. Early last year, we did just that. We prepaid in full for a reservation July 27-30, 2018. Even though our stay was more than a year away, it felt good to know our lodging was taken care of. Last October, I received an email from Rochelle Hulslander, who informed us she was the new owner. She asked me to confirm the details: that we were renting for Hall of Fame Weekend 2018, that we only were renting the smaller half, and how much we paid. I emailed back immediately. After a month I thought it was odd I didn't hear back so I emailed again. And again. And again. No reply after four emails. Tony kept saying not to worry; Rochelle is aware of our reservation and is still getting her sea legs following the purchase. Finally in April, with less than four months to go before our vacation, I told Tony try to get a hold of Rochelle. No response to his email. Finally Tony called and left a voicemail. No response for six days. Then finally . . . an email appeared in my inbox. To my horror, Rochelle had no intention of renting to us. She allowed her agent, Patsy Soules of Cooperstown Accommodations, to rent to someone else! "I apologize for the delay in getting back to you but until your husband called yesterday, I didn't realize you had been emailing me as the emails were going to my spam (and I never, unfortunately, bother to check my spam folder). When we took ownership, [Cooperstown Accommodations] took over the renting of A Comfort Woods which is why it is no longer on TripAdvisor and Booking.com. One of their policies is to rent out houses and units by the week only and not on a nightly basis. Therefore, they have rented out the house for the week that is included in HOF weekend. It is, unfortunately, not available any longer. I apologize for the confusion but that is their policy....we do not rent it out personally since we took ownership. They handle everything in regards to renting and deposits and payments." For months, we tried to reason with Rochelle, but it's no use. Rochelle has now changed her story and says she never received any of my emails. She now says she has no "proof" we paid or even made a reservation, even though she's the one who contacted us in the first place. Rochelle, if you didn't lie about not getting my emails, why didn't you try to contact us again, even once? You could have said, "Hey, I'm going to rent to someone else, I need to hear from you." You admitted to my husband it never even occurred to you to do so. I wonder if she is an exception, or if all of the owners represented by Cooperstown Accommodations are as dishonest, incompetent and uncaring as Rochelle Hulslander. Luckily we have found alternative lodging and will do our damnedest to enjoy this vacation. But believe me, we're going to pursue the hell out of this. We've discovered there are many avenues of remedy for people in our situation. Stay tuned.

I'm sorry for such a long post but I promise it will be worth the read. For 6 months we have said…read morenothing to keep the peace. But our time has come. Last September Jim and I were victims at the hands of Rich and Bethanne Brennan. They are the owners of Ontario Shores campground 348 Rainbow Shores Rd in Pulaski NY. We had gone on vacation to Washington State to visit our son and during that time Rich Brennan took it upon himself to turn on our main water hook up and proceeded to wash his hands at our campsite. The problem is that when he turned on the water he also turned on our toilet flush system and never shut it off. That filled our black water tank and flooded our camper from one end to the other with septic water thus totaling our camper. Water was literally pouring out of the bottom of our camper and within days black mold started to form making the camper unusable! At the time they acknowledge what they had done and turned it into their insurance company. The problem is their insurance company only offered to clean the camper not repair it. $2800 vs the $20,000+ to repair/replace it. That's where everything turned ugly. At that point Rich and Bethanne said too bad...that's what they offered. We're not paying a penny more. At that point communication of any kind on their part ceased. For months we tried to communicate with them to come to a reasonable agreement for both of us. And each time I reached out we received no response. Finally in December they said they were advised to not speak to us directly and we must communicate through their attorney and we should hire one to do so. So we hired an attorney to do just that. Neither the Brennans nor the insurance company attorney would respond to our lawyer as well. So weighing our options with our attorney which were sue the Brennans, sue the insurance company or sue both we opted to eat the loss and turn it into our own insurance company. We had options and our lawyer assured us would have won! Unfortunately legal fees would have been astronomical and our lawyer advised us to pursue a settlement with our own insurance and take the loss. Another reason we chose to go in that direction and not sue them also is because we still wanted to camp at Ontario Shores. We love it there and all of our camp families are there for the summer. It was our summer home! I failed to mention that in November I reached out to Beth and asked specifically if we would be welcome back in the spring. Mind you...we have done nothing but I felt the need to ask. She said "of course you are". With that we went out and bought another camper with the anticipation of returning in the spring. We had zero idea what was to come! Fast forward to March of this year. We receive a certified letter in the mail out of the blue stating we are no longer welcome at Ontario Shores for the 2022 season despite having a signed contract and having paid a deposit for the year. Come get your stuff off your site by April 25th and nothing more. No reason. Thus victimizing us once again. I asked Beth why they had made this decision and she stated that "they felt threatened when we retained and attorney!" But they're the ones who told us to get one! You can imagine our confusion and upset! And this isn't their first rodeo. I know 2 other families that were kicked out for no reason they are aware of because no reason was given. They were great neighbors and nice families. The Brennans do this stuff randomly and without remorse. This past weekend we went to our former campsite and got all of our items off of our site. When Jim requested the return of our deposit Rich was rude and disrespectful and told Jim that "we tried to shake them down for tens of thousands of dollars!" This couldn't be further from the truth! The facts are we took what we got from our insurance company and paid the rest out of our pocket. The only thing we were hoping to get from the Brennans is maybe a free season or two of camping since they were the ones who destroyed our camper. But we were willing to settle for absolutely nothing. Returning to our summer camping life was that important to us. In fact our lawyer reached out to them as recent as last week to assure them we would not sue and we would sign a legal document stating so if we were allowed to return. Nothing would change their mind. To date this terrible injustice has cost them NOTHING financially and they've actually convinced themselves that they did nothing wrong. The funny thing is we weren't going to sue them! But we are now! Emotionally we are broken! And our poor Livvy is absolutely devastated. She has so many friends there and she loves spending time with her Namma and Papa. This affects so many people and they could care less. But there is nothing we can do to change the outcome. All we can do is hope to save the next person from a Brennan injustice. Because if you think this can't happen to you...YOU'RE WRONG!!!
