The kitchen has stainless appliances, an eat-in Kitchen island area, as well as a coffee bar area. The large windows in front of the sink face toward the lake, making dishes a pleasure rather than a chore!

Our stay at The Boondocks was nothing short than fabulous! The home was exactly as pictured and more. The little touches such as both Keurig and drip coffee makers, tupperwear, amount of utensils, key stand at door, hangers and coat rack in each bedroom, to the impeccable cleanliness of the home made our stay fantastic. Jolenes home had plenty of room for all of us and the views were amazing. Unfortunately it rained the entire time but the amount of games to play was like no other so were had plenty to keep busy and had a blast! Will definitely be back soon. What a gem of a place! Thank you for having us.

The stay was fine. We had an issue with Wifi codes. The instructions emailed to us stated a different code than the info binder in the house and was different than the small plaque in the kitchen. The one in the kitchen was correct. Those others need to be updated so it's not so confusing.The remote for the LR TV would not page to the right so it was difficult to get anywhere since all stations/icons were on to the right. We changed the batteries in the remote and somehow was able to - only by luck - able to move the cursor to the right; but not all the time. Very frustrating. Remote should be replaced. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were available. Property was nice with big yard. We enjoyed our visit to Seneca Lake
