My wife and I can't be any more pleased with our decision to rent this house. Its clearly an older house, but a lot of work, love, and effort was put in to it.
The first feature my wife talks about when we talk about our trip, is the Soap and Shampoo dispenser in the shower. I don't get it, but she thought it was the coolest thing. I almost feel bad, the house had so many rooms and we used two of them (Master Bedroom, TV Room).
The TV Room had this big comfortable leather couch, a bigscreen TV with a Soundbar, which was nice to watch TV and relax after a busy day.
The master bedroom was comfortable, though (Like everywhere else i go) the pillows were only okay. I was worried there would be too much light in the mornings (I am a pitch black type person to sleep) but it didn't was bad enough to wake me up. The attached master bathroom was great; with Laundry as well. That was wonderful. Wish we could do that at our own home!
We were visiting in October, and the weather surprised us with getting chilly. That wasn't a problem, as it seemed the two rooms we spent all our time in had Zone Heating. The heaters worked very quickly, so we just left the rooms at 60 degrees when we weren't present, and bumped them up when we used the room, and it heated up very quickly.
Parts of the house we didn't really use:
Two MORE bathrooms, one with a shower. Perfect because you also have FOUR more bedrooms. And a baby "Room" with a crib! I wish we had actually brought friends, we felt like we under-used the house.
There was also a Kitchen, Dining Room, and a grill which was nice, and while we intended to actually do our own cooking for dinner, we never ended up doing that. (Full disclosure, lots of great Breakfast/Lunch places within a short drive, but dinner places are slim pickings. I could go on forever with reviews of places, but this is for the rental, not my explorations.)
The town:
I really, really liked Montour Falls. I felt like I was in a movie. The kind where a jaded newly divorced Stock Broker goes back to his small home town, and finds the Girlfriend he dated in Middle School is now raising her two brothers since her parents died in a horrible accident. He learns to love again, she learns to have fun again, and the movie ends with a wedding.
Walkable Places: Cool Waterfall, (Breve) North (Real Fancy) Coffee Shop, Paradiso Village Bakery (Breakfast).
