Finn McCool's

  1. Lake Front
    Any property that borders the state-owned ‘buffer strip.’ Lake Front means you have access to the water for swimming and a boat dock if applicable to your home. You can go directly to the water from your door with no road between. Lake Front does not necessarily mean you have a view of the water, since much of our shoreline is wooded.

Description

DESCRIPTION:
Get ready to gather in comfort at this beautiful lakefront home! Finn McCool’s has a prime location along Lake Shore Dr., so you are never far from the action, no matter the season. In the summer, hop on the water and get ready to explore the area by boat or enjoy days spent on land by traveling just 10 mins to the heart of the lake area. Spend your afternoons relaxing and fishing on the west-facing dock, soaking in the afternoon and evening sun and enjoying the deep water perfect for swimming. Prefer to wade instead of swim? The shallow shoreline is perfect for the little kiddos. Make sure to also be on the lookout for various roaming wildlife including two eagles nesting in nearby trees. Enjoy s’mores and stories around the campfire tucked in the private, wooded backyard perfect for extra privacy from the few neighbors in the area. On those, oh so perfect summer evenings, relax on the expansive deck or play a game of corn hole. In the winter, pack up and head to Wisp for a day on the slopes or the state parks for cross country skiing or snowshoeing. The level driveway is perfect to ensure that the snow won’t hold you back from getting to the slopes whenever you want! Wind the day out in the bubbles of the hot tub and let the warm water soothe your sore muscles. Gather everyone in the spacious kitchen for some mealtime socializing as dinner is prepared by the chef of the group and then enjoy the home cooked meal on the deck or around the family-sized dining table. Whether you are looking for days of relaxation or adventure, Finn McCool’s is the place to be. Book your stay today and start creating memories that will last a lifetime!

The home was spacious and able to accommodate large families which is a plus. We appreciated being able to bring our dogs and we loved the beautiful lakefront location. But it seems that the owner has placed little care in simple fixes and updates to the 50-year-old home that would not be budget busters. The basement bedroom was near impossible to sleep in (the little heater did not provide warmth and the dehumidifier was so crazy loud you could not possibly sleep). Parts of the decking and steps down to the lake were definite safety hazards. It just seemed the house was not well maintained from season to season which is necessary with a home of that age. Simple Dollar Store purchases like replacing rusted shower shelves, providing a cutting board, etc would help guests feel more welcomed. Same with the broken chairs on the pier. If owners updated the property to address some of the aging concerns we'd definitely stay there again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at our property Karen. We are pleased to hear that you found the home spacious and accommodating for large families, and that you appreciated our pet-friendly policy and the beautiful lakefront location. However, we do apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay and will be sure to look into them. We appreciate your suggestions for simple updates, and will be sure to alert the property manager and homeowners. Thank you for your suggestions and concerns and we hope to have the opportunity to rent to you again in the future. Madison, Railey Vacations

Hello Karen! We would like to reach out on behalf of the homeowners and inform you of some recent upgrades to the home and address some pain points. First, with some exciting news, the owner has remodeled the main bath and installed new carpet in the great room! We would also like to update you that there are currently four cutting boards available in the kitchen. Regarding the heater, the owner mentioned that his family uses it during the winter without any problems, and it often makes the room quite warm. Nevertheless, he will be sure to investigate the noise level of the dehumidifier, though it is currently not in use and is only two years old. As for the decks, he did reinforce one board on the walkway and steps to the dock to ensure safety. He has also replaced the shower caddy in the top-floor guest bathroom. Please note that the bedroom section of the house is approximately 50 years old, whereas the great room and kitchen were added less than 30 years ago. Lastly, regarding the Adirondack chairs on the dock, one chair had a damaged back piece due to a previous guest. He has purchased a new chair but kept the old one as it remains perfectly functional. Thank you! Madison, Railey Vacations 2/27/25

The house was perfect for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed hanging out on the dock. The large deck was perfect for us. We also enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit for smores.

The house was large and everyone had plenty of room to spread out. The private dock was nice, and the overlook patio was a family favorite, especially for the dogs. The kitchen was well equipped with cookware. The TV’s didn’t work in the two bedrooms. They were missing cords it looked like. The big wooden cornhole boards on the back porch were really nice but didn't have bags, and we couldn’t find any at the local Walmart. So we weren’t able to use them. The hot tub was in good shape and clean and serviced. The shower heads in the bathrooms are a little rough and spray in every direction and scream and whistle as you shower, but there were plenty of bath towels provided. The porches, fireplaces and the view were wonderful! On our last day a black bear visited us in the back yard. The grill on the back porch was in great shape. Our favorite takeout place was the Greene Turtle. Very relaxing vacation overall. We will most definitely be back!

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback on your recent stay at our property Jess! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the private dock, and the overlook patio – especially your furry family members! We appreciate your kind words about our well-equipped kitchen and clean hot tub. We do apologize for the inconvenience with the TVs in two of the bedrooms and the missing bags for the cornhole boards. Rest assured, we will address these issues promptly to ensure a more seamless experience for future guests. Your feedback regarding the shower heads has been noted as well. It's wonderful to hear that you had a relaxing vacation overall and even got a visit from a black bear! We are thrilled that you plan on returning and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Had another wonderful stay at my favorite place on the lake. Very quiet with wonderful views, but close to everything. While watching the birds at the bird feeder, I saw an eagle land in the big pine tree by the shore, could not tell if it was Finn or Molly! And that evening while enjoying a cold beverage in the hot tub, I watched as 2 deer wandered around by the fire pit. Will be back.

We are so happy to hear that you and your group had another amazing vacation with us here at Finn McCool's Stephen!

Private full bedroom in lower level with it's own outside access. Path to water easy walk with lights at night. Forest across the street. So peaceful and quiet day or night. Very large deck with ample seating to eat outside. Beautiful views from every back window and door!

We loved this property. It was exactly as advertised. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us. The kitchen was well appointed and the adults enjoyed the hot tub. Lake access was wonderful and we appreciated our four legged friends were welcome. The best part was the separate seating area/living room away from the bedrooms - kids in the morning didn’t disturb sleeping parents! The basement was pretty cold, but the space heater and door kept closed helped. Our only complaint was the check in and check out time. I understand that a large house requires more cleaning, but we did feel a bit jipped checking in at 4:00pm and then having to leave at 10:00am.

Thank you for the amazing 5 star review Christina! We are so pleased to hear that Finn McCool's was all you had expected and even more! In the future please feel free to call our reservations office and ask about our late check out policy! We hope to have the chance to rent to you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations
