'Glory Days' - Classic 1920's Cottage - Keuka Lake East Side

If only the owners could make the week go by more slowly....

We were very happy with accommodations at Glory Days. The view from the covered back porch is amazing. There was plenty of room for parking and no stairs to get to the house. The location on the east side of the lake was great, and the deck and dock made hanging waterside with friends really fun. The interior of the house was a bit over the top with the "shabby chic" decor. Almost every surface (including the walls) was covered with decorative and breakable stuff. We were a bit paranoid that we'd break something, and there was little room to put our stuff. Our one complaint was that we were charged a portion of security deposit after we left. The owner's explanation was that we didn't bag the recycling we put in one of the cans (not knowing you need to do this) and that they had to spend an hour cleaning up after we left. Meanwhile, we'd swept the floors, wiped down counters, cleaned the toilets, took out all the trash (and made sure trash was picked up from the previous tenants - despite having no instructions about when trash was picked up), remade all the beds and wiped down the entire interior of the refrigerator. I'm not sure what else we could have done. Unfortunately, this left us with a bad feeling about the house and the owners. Also, the owners own the house next door, so they're around.
