Good for Family Gatherings

The star of this rental is the large kitchen and accompanying back deck; both have been nicely updated. There are multiple rooms with twin beds for fun visits with extended family. Other than the kitchen, the furnishings are a bit dated. The owner was extremely quick to respond to all questions.

Charming historical property with expansive views and impeccable cleanliness

We found the Elliott House spotlessly clean, and perfect for our family weekend visiting our student at college. It is an updated yet historically charming, spacious, and beautifully kept home with plenty of room to spread out and yet enjoy family time gathered together. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Well equipped kitchen!

The Elliot House exceeded our expectations. It is nicely appointed with plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for large families or gatherings. The kitchen is user friendly and very well equipped. We had excellent communication with the host.The stairs to the lovely bedrooms are quite steep. My elderly Mom managed, but they may prove too difficult for some. There is one bedroom on the main floor as well. The near by town of Waddington offers provisions and a paved riverside walk. The Elliot House truly is a gem. It will not disappoint.

Excellant

We had a great time staying here, very clean and spacious for 9 of us. The kids enjoyed running around in the large yard and the rear patio makes a great place to sit and watch them. I would stay here again if we are ever back in the area

Extended family graduation

We were looking for a place to stay for a college graduation. We needed adult couples to have seperate rooms and offer privacy. The Elliot House was perfect. There was a downstairs room for the grandparents who had difficulty with stairs and plenty of upstairs rooms for the other guests. The kitchen was spacious and extremely functional. A large dining room accommodated our gathering for breakfast and lunches. We enjoyed the back patio and picnic table for an after graduation cook out on the gas grill. The sunset over the field was super! Communication with our host was top notch and he offered great tips about local resources and activities to entertain us during our stay. Great house and great host. Would definitely recommend it.

Will Stay Again

Everything about this house was perfect. Steven is a very proactive owner, responds very quickly to inquiries and makes sure you have everything you need to know before you arrive. The house itself is beautiful - the kitchen is modern and super well stocked from an appliance and accessory perspective. All the pots, pans, utencils, plates etc. are in great shape, clean and very, very well organized. The water cooler is a great addition as well and the front porch and back patio are perfect places to relax in the morning. We can’t wait to go back.

Clarkson University Graduation Weekend

We rented the Elliott House in Waddington, NY because our son graduated Clarkson University. The house is about 15 minutes from Clarkson, it is an 1860 farmhouse that has been beautifully restored and updated. Large beautiful kitchen and large rooms, plenty of space with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths. House is fully furnished with everything we needed to cook, etc. The house was very clean and we even got to see a very rare piebald deer across the street. We had a wonderful time at the Elliott House!

Elliot House

I LOVED staying at the Elliot House!!! At first I was a little freaked out, as I could not find the kitchen, I arrived at night and was a little spooked. My eldest Son (student at St. Lawrence went through the house to make sure his Mom would be safe). Finally, after some aggressive pulling at a door we found the kitchen. The whole house is lovely!!! The kitchen is so special and more than adequately stocked with utensils. The first night I slept like a log-I was so tired. In the morning, I made some coffee and traversed through the kitchen back door to sit in a chair on the porch and drink my coffee. The city was behind me, I knew I was in the country, staying in an old farm house at that point. The birds were chirping, I saw a gofer (and used the provided binoculars to check him out closely). The stress of work just melted away! Staying at this house is a truly special experience and I HIGHLY recommend it. I will definitely stay there again when visiting my son. Thank you Steve!

We stayed for parents weekend. It was a 15 minute drive to Clarkson, easy drive. And it gave us a great place to give our college students a nice home cooked meal.

Short vacation getaway

The house is absolutely beautiful! It was more than enough room for my family and the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room were so nice. The kitchen was stocked with all cooking utensils, pots and pans .etc, that you could need. Even dish detergent, dish clothes...etc. They had spices so you didn't have to worry about bringing salt and pepper...etc. The mattresses were very comfortable. We were able to visit Lake Placid which was about 2 hours away and then go to 1000 islands about 1 hour away. We are definitely planning on coming again.

Perfect Long Weekend Getaway!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice quiet house for a long Valentine’s Day weekend. This was exactly what we were looking for, the property was very quiet and private with beautiful surroundings. Steve was an awesome host and helped us with anything we needed and answered any questions we had and check-in and check-out were easy. We spent most of our time in the beautiful kitchen! It’s huge, a ton of counter space, natural light with huge windows, and an island for people to sit and hang out while cooking 😊 We had the best time, we would love to come again!

Elliot’s house was phenomenally beautiful

Elliot’s house was the perfect get away from home, and still feeling at home!! We stayed over thanksgiving weekend and we enjoyed every minute of it. We love cooking and of course the kitchen became our favorite place. The landscape of the house and its outdoor fire pit made it even more cozier. As a nature lover the morning walk through the field made it calm and relaxed. I will definitely recommend This place and Mr. Stephen was wonderful with suggestions for around the town discovery. Stephen was always very attentive and responded to every question we had. Looking forward to book again and enjoy more family memories!!
