We absolutely loved our stay at Shaun’s place! The house is truly right on the lake. The backyard was amazing! There’s tables and chairs, bonfire, and a covered patio outside as well. My husband, dog, and I loved drinking our morning coffee and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The house was exactly as described as well. The place was tastefully decorated and had everything you could want! There’s local restaurants and breweries close by and it wasn’t too far from Seneca Lake where we hiked and visited wineries. We went mid October and the fall foliage was perfect! The house also has a gas fireplace which was the perfect addition. So cozy! I definitely recommend staying here!

Shaun's place was wonderful. Right on the lake provided beautiful views as we sat in the living room. The house was clean, modern and comfortable! Everything we needed was provided. When we had questions Shaun and his wife were very responsive. Our vacation was perfect. The house and setting are very tranquil. I would go back for sure!

Great experience. House was clean and everything was in great working order. Thank you!!!

We had a great weekend in this cozy lake house! peaceful, quiet, and had everything we needed for a nice little getaway ?
- Lisa M , Posted: 10/13/2024
We’ve stayed at Shaun’s places several times and they’re always great. Fantastic weekend.
- Andrew B , Posted: 9/29/2024
We had such a great week at The Garrison. The place was absolutely beautiful and exactly as described and pictured. Comfy beds, spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Shaun was very responsive to our questions. Absolutely beautiful setting to enjoy excellent late summer weather. We’ll be back!
- Mary D , Posted: 9/8/2024
We had a wonderful time at Honeoye Lake and Shaun’s place is a perfect location just part way down the western side of the lake. Easy to get to town. House and yard were perfect. We will be back next summer for sure.
- Ted K , Posted: 8/26/2024
The space was absolutely beautiful. We had a lovely time, and enjoyed this space immensely. It was very clean, and had all the amenities , plus. The property was extremely pet friendly. They had runners, and bowls for our dog.
We did have an issue where it was extremely hot in the house, and noticed the heat was on. We weren’t sure how to fix the problems we reached out to the host. We had a response in minutes. With clear instructions, we were able to fix the problem and the house was cool within minutes.
I would recommend this property to everyone showing interest.
- Brittany T , Posted: 8/19/2024
Our stay was wonderful. The hosts were kind and helpful, and always responded quickly to messages. The house was spotlessly clean, well-stocked, including kayaks, tons of firewood , yard games, a fun arcade games and old-school board games. The area is flat, nice for our elderly dog, and the cute little town is only a five minute drive! The sunrises are amazing, worth getting up early to enjoy!
- Martin H , Posted: 8/16/2024
Overall our stay was a 5 star experience. The house was very clean and very comfortable. We had everything we needed inside and outside the house for function and comfort. The host was always accessible and helpful. Great value for the price. The dock and ladder was a little shaky. Thanks, Tony c.
- Anthony C , Posted: 8/7/2024
Had a great week with perfect weather. A nice place to rest and rejuvenate. Quiet and peaceful. Cottage was perfect for three of us and was open, spacious and filled with light. Highly recommend.
- Laurie T , Posted: 7/28/2024
This was a perfect location for out of town family members to spend a weekend. We enjoyed hanging outside by the lake. The home was clean and freshly decorated, will definitely keep this in mind to rent again the next time we have out of town visitors!
- Diane R , Posted: 6/30/2024
Great vacation home right on the water & dog friendly!! Beautiful unobstructed view from the main living area. Great outdoor space. The listing is well represented in the description & photos. Comfortable, inviting & very relaxing! Definitely recommend!!

great place to stay right on the lake, small cozy modern home
- Megan S , Posted: 6/10/2024
We were very happy with our stay at the Garrison! Everything was as pictured and the view of the lake was beautiful. We would love to come back!
Thank you,

- Laura E , Posted: 4/21/2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well appointed. Everything was in good, working order (e.g., the shower was large and the water pressure was great). The back yard, with a dining area, fire pit, and water access, was just lovely. You won't be disappointed. If that weren't enough, the brewery in town, with its beer selection, kitchen, fire pits and live music, would make anyone want to move to the lake. :)
- Patricia G , Posted: 4/16/2024
We really enjoyed our stay on the lake. Things that are important to us are location, comfort of the beds, cleanliness and hot water and the shower head. This little place had it all. It was well stocked and the setup worked perfectly for us. We went into Canandaigua for Easter Brunch, and it was just a short drive. Not many steps into the house or in the house. That’s important to us also. Would definitely recommend.
- Carla H , Posted: 4/1/2024
Really lovely place with amazing views and access to the lake. Very peaceful, we loved the outdoor seating areas and inside was very homely and comfortable!
- Beccy P , Posted: 3/13/2024
We had a wonderful time for our fall/honeymoon get away. The house was beautiful and the waterfront offered great views. It was not the best weather when we were there but we had plenty to do at the house and in the surrounding area to make the best of it!
- Ellie M , Posted: 10/3/2023
I had the most amazing time with my family at the cabin. The location is right at the lake and is very peaceful. The home was super comfortable and clean.
- Ajaieta B , Posted: 9/25/2023
We were impressed when we walked into the cottage to see that the owners had already added some cute fall decorations. The kitchen was nice & clean and had everything needed to prepare meals. The cottage was plenty big for ourselves and our adult son.
- Steve S , Posted: 9/9/2023
Our second time back and not our last!
- Robert R , Posted: 8/29/2023
Great place for a getaway. House was nice and met all of our needs. Loved the flat large lawn, sitting around a fire at night and the beautiful lake views. Very quiet and peaceful area. Only recommendation would be to trim the flowers/bushes along the lake to give you better views when you are sitting outside. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would definitely consider renting from Shauwn again.
- Vicki B , Posted: 8/25/2023
Shaun was an excellent host and very responsive to questions! The house was beautiful and well-maintained! It was a peaceful location and very relaxing. We chose this house over others for the outdoor space (i.e., the dock, grill, and fire pit). We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend it!!
- Kelly S , Posted: 8/9/2023
We loved it so much! Very minimal clean space with beautiful views. So thankful for the central AC. There were some games, toys and books for kids. Kayaks were sooo nice to have. We used them almost everyday! We just adore the place and would definitely stay again in the future!
Honeyoye is cute, not a ton of stores or options but enough. Very cute brewery just up the road with delicious food - Birdhouse Brewing Co. Highly recommend checking it out!
- Jami J , Posted: 7/31/2023
My family and I had a great time. The house was exactly as advertised. We loved kayaking. Evethough, the lake does not have a private beach; we enjoyed driving to close by beaches during our stay. Thank you for having us.
- Leydi T , Posted: 7/26/2023
Great lakefront location with a wonderful firepit and very nice furnishings. Was a but disappointed with the lake seaweed but I understand that was not the owner's fault. We could not swim or use the dock to its fullest capacity. We didnuse the kayaks that were provided.
Also enjoyed playing the arcade games.
- James H , Posted: 7/20/2023
Thank you James for great review! We are looking into weed mats for around dock area. Hope to have you back as guests!

Great location right on the water. Great place for relaxing with the family. We enjoyed the fire pit, grill and kayaks. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with pots pans and utensils.
- Mark M , Posted: 7/16/2023
With its gorgeous views and backyard lake shore, we walked into a spotless, freshly clean space that was immediately inviting. The Garrison owners have thought of everything. Easy, working WiFi, wireless speaker for streaming music, a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor gas grill, tea and coffee to suit every taste, and plenty of conversation seating on porches, air-conditioned rooms, and around the fire pit. We felt at home as soon as we arrived (with our very anxious little dog) and quickly settled in for a relaxed week over the 4th of July. Responsive hosts, charming personal touches, all the comforts of home. We couldn’t be happier with our stay. Thanks so much.
- David S , Posted: 7/8/2023
We had a great stay at Garrison on the Lake! The house is ideal for a family. Clean, modern and exceptional decor and amenities. Shaun was a wonderful host- responsive and easy and clear instructions.
- Erin K , Posted: 7/3/2023
The place was so nice with a beautiful and peaceful view. Everything was very clean as well. We had to contact the host with some questions and he was quick to respond and was very helpful. I would highly recommend this place! It was perfect for a girls weekend getaway.
- Jessica O , Posted: 6/25/2023
Very beautiful home with an incomparable lake view. Would absolutely recommend!
- Alyssa F , Posted: 6/11/2023
Beautiful house in a great location!
- Zachary H , Posted: 6/4/2023
Our stay at Shaun's place on Honeoye lake was exactly what we were hoping for on a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend! The lakefront property was a beautiful place to relax and to base out of to explore the Finger Lake region. The house itself was cozy, comfortable, and clean and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing around the firepit and taking in the views. The kayaks in the shed were clutch.
- Joey B , Posted: 5/29/2023
Très beau séjour, très tranquille et paisible comme nous l’avions imaginé. L’hôte est très réactif quand nous avions des questions. L’endroit est propre et le savon à main sens très bon ?
Bien équipé et très bien rénové. Tout y est …… beaucoup en jeux de société ou des activités estivales extérieures ??
Merci ??
- Julie G , Posted: 5/22/2023
Gorgeous spot on Honeoye lake. Waking up every morning to lake views was the best part of the week. This spot was one of the most well-stocked Airbnbs I’ve stayed at. Functional space for a family and a dog. Perfect sized kitchen. There are not a lot of quality groceries nearby but we had family in Rochester and made a well worth trip to Wegmans. Highly-responsive hosts, would definitely stay again.
- Jackie D , Posted: 4/23/2023
I was so comfortable and the home was beautiful.
- Summer E , Posted: 4/14/2023
Shaun's place was absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. This is one of the best experiences we've had on Airbnb. I appreciate the all white linens that showed just how clean they were and all the little amenities that were available in case we forgot anything. The welcome basket was also a thoughtful touch. The view was wonderful to wake up to in the morning.
- Nicole P , Posted: 3/19/2023
Loved our stay! Perfect snowy weekend. Will definitely book again.
- Jeffrey P , Posted: 3/15/2023
Very nice place right by the lake! Great amenities. such as a cozy fireplace. We stayed while visiting relatives for Thanksgiving. I used the oven to bake bread and found everything I needed in the kitchen. I found a local 5 k race and came back to find out how wonderful the shower is!
This was my second time to stay at the Garrison.
- Barbara C , Posted: 11/27/2022
10/10, perfect house, perfect view! Snacks and some bottled water provided which is above and beyond, plus anything else you need. You won’t be disappointed!
- Renee L , Posted: 10/31/2022
We visited in the fall and couldn’t have been happier with the location and views. Cottage is impeccable but comfortable. Everything is brand new, tasteful and quality. Decorating is extremely well done. Close attention to detail without overdoing it. Casual elegant if I was pressed for a term to define it. Well appointed. Did not need to run out to store for anything during entire stay.
We look forward to our next trip there!
- Michael D , Posted: 10/15/2022
This was hands down the best Airbnb stay I’ve had to date. It was the perfect set up and space for a weekend getaway to celebrate a bachelorette weekend for my friend! 12/10 recommend staying here! Shaun is very responsive and timely, and made sure everything was beautifully organized for our stay.
- Abigail W , Posted: 10/9/2022
What a wonderful stay! House was immaculately clean, host was extremely responsive and kind, and everything was luxurious! One of my best air bnb experiences in a while!
- Grace R , Posted: 9/25/2022
What a great place directly on the lake! The house was very clean and cozy! My family of 6 had plenty of room but felt like we were all together! We rented a pontoon boat from the marina and had a blast during the day and kicked back and relaxed at night. We’ll be back next summer! Thanks for the good time Shaun!
- Anonymous , Posted: 8/30/2022
The Garrison is a home away from home. Shaun has clearly put a lot of thought into how to make his guests feel comfortable and the pictures don’t do the place justice. We had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable (plenty of pillows), and because it rained during our stay we took full advantage of the covered porch. Our kids loved the outdoor games and there is now an outdoor table where you can enjoy a meal with family and friends. We would love to return again.
- Anonymous , Posted: 8/29/2022
This is the perfect place to stay! You are located right on the lake with all of the amenities to enjoy the weather- kayaks, lawn games, fire pit, etc.
They thought of every detail inside of the space and had tons of great touches- snacks, coffee, bottled water, toiletries, plenty of extra linens, and a fully stocked kitchen!
We will definitely be coming back soon.

5 stars for this place. We had a great time and they really make sure that you have everything you need. This was our 3rd time on this lake and this place really had everything you could need. Well done!

We had a lovely stay at Garrison cottage. It was the perfect size for our family of 4 and puppy. The cottage was stocked with everything you would need, and the space was inviting and comfortable. We made good use of all of the yard games and the dog lead in the backyard. The lake is quiet and peaceful, and we were able to rent a boat from a nearby marina to enjoy the water. I recommend grabbing a book and cup of coffee to enjoy the sunrise/morning on the covered patio. It is also a great space to enjoy listening to the rain while viewing the lake. The location of the cottage was a nice jumping off point to explore the surrounding areas. It is such a beautiful area of New York, and the locals are friendly and helpful. Shaun was so easy to communicate with, and made our stay a breeze.

Great place, beautiful quiet lake, we had a wonderful family week and made lots of new memories.. Shaun was easy and quick to communicate with - the home has everything you need !

Cottage is very updated and modern and decorated perfectly for the lake. If I owned a lake house this would be ideal.
Brand new Weber grill!
Plenty seating outside so no need to bring chairs.
Only downfall would be no easy access to the lake and it’s just outside of a cove. Also do not be alarmed when you drive through a trailer park first to get to the cottage.
The whole week we were there we never saw anyone outside at the cottages on either side of us so that was excellent to also have privacy.
Recommend this for a clean updated gorgeous cottage for views and staying to take a boat out. Just not for getting in and swimming or looking for easy access to the water.
Host was great and on top of everything and we never had any problems with our stay.
- Anonymous , Posted: 7/12/2022
Thank you for your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve our cottages! We have not had problems with guests accessing the water off of the dock; but we appreciate the input and will look into adding a ladder for future access!

Clean. Quaint and comforts of home . Tremendous management .. very accommodating .. we locked the keys in the house the first night and Shaun came to open it for us within an hour !
- Anonymous , Posted: 7/2/2022
Honestly one of the best Airbnb stays we've had. Super clean, great location, well stocked kitchen (crazy but it was fabulous to have good pans, baking dishes, & Tupperware storage) & bath, amazing backyard. The backyard had great seating in all areas and a tie-out for a dog. Our dogs had a wonderful week enjoying the space with us. The covered deck might be my favorite feature, the pictures do not do it justice. we drank coffee there every morning and read books when it was hot in the sun. The deck catches a great breeze from the lake. We hope to visit again sometime.

Very pleasant, well-equipped cottage, not far from the water. Please be prepared to go through a mobile home community prior to finding the house.

Adorable cottage directly on the lake. Absolutely loved the covered back patio. The entire place is decorated beautifully and very welcoming. Slept 8 comfortably. Host left a wonderful welcome basket with snacks and a bottle of wine. Highly recommend the 25 minute trip to Oh-Neh-Da- Eagle Crest Vineyard. We had a wonderful time and the food/wine was delicious. We also had a scrumptious lunch at Roots Cafe in Naples. Look no further book this place it’s lovely.

The location was perfect- right on beautiful Honeoye Lake. ( one of best spots for fishing)
The host Shaun was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions.
Upon our arrival check in was easy and there were many thoughtful touches… fresh flowers, bottle of wine, basket of snacks and animal towels on the beds. We enjoyed some of the many amenities… kayaks, fire pit and corn hole game. ( there are many outdoor games available). We had our coffee on the porch watching the sunrise on the water. What a view! The house has everything you could need and is updated and nicely decorated. We definitely would love to stay again.
This property deserves a perfect 5 star rating!

Our family had a fabulous stay! The house was clean and comfortable with every detail covered. Shaun has provided everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the thoughtful snacks, kayaks, yard games and beautiful peaceful view of the lake. Our dogs loved it too! Thank you for having us, we hope to visit again.

Can I give more than 5 stars? This house is beautifully updated and irresistibly charming, while the hosts are very thoughtful in their added touches and amenities. Shaun was very communicative. The location is superior, quiet but easy access to all there is to enjoy in the region. We would have loved to move in!

This is wonderful lake house. It truly has everything you need and is set up with an impressive attention to detail and comfort. All the information was clear, the host was immediately responsive, friendly and kind, and the house itself was just great. We used the kayaks, there is a fire-pit, grill, well equipped kitchen, huge bathtub, games, and lots more. And then there is the location! Right on the lake. The sunrise was spectacular. A great stay. We will be back for sure!

We chose this place to celebrate our friend's birthday and we were blown away by the brilliant location and amazing hospitality provided by the owners. We had a great time chilling in the backyard in the hammocks and kayaking on the Honoeye lake. This place is also only an hour and a half away from Niagara Falls. The owners were also kind enough to extend our stay which allowed us to get the best view of the lunar eclipse and blood moon over the lake. Overall we had a great weekend and look forward to returning!

Beautiful property and location - exactly as advertised and more! Clean, comfortable, simple check-in / check-out, welcoming and flexible! It was a perfect weekend and we will definitely plan to return again, and also recommend the place for out of town guests.

Amazing getaway for 5 friends. Centrally located for all of us. Lake front was a beautiful landscape to enjoy for the weekend even in the winter. Beds were so comfortable for everyone. Appliances and kitchen supplies are new and clean. Plenty of parking and hot water. We want to go back for sure. Thanks Shaun!

Awesome place. Everything in the unit was brand new. It was extremely clean. The furnishings and decor were very stylish and we had a very comfortable stay. Check in and check out was seamless. Communication with the host was very prompt. Tons of extra touches and thoughtfulness throughout the unit really sets this place apart. Kitchen was very well stocked which was appreciated because we cooked most our meals at home. 20 minute drive to Bristol Mountain Resort.

This is a thoughtfully laid out space. We were so happy to see the doggy blanket, treats, toys, and a large bone laid out for our dog when we arrived! The house is immaculate. The tub is giant and I really enjoyed it too. We took a local hike on the lake which was lovely. This was a fantastic start to the New Year. Next time we come, we would like to stay a whole week. Shaun is professional, responds very fast, and is a great person!
