We had a wonderful stay at the lake house! The kids loved fishing every day and taking the kayaks out on the water. The house was perfect for our family—comfortable, well-equipped, and in a beautiful setting. We also visited the nearby town of Skaneateles, which was charming and definitely worth the trip. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing family getaway!
This is our third year staying at this lake house. The communications with owner was good. The house is exactly as stated in the write up. A/c in bedrooms which cools the whole house. Plenty of parking, water toys, a dock, 2 kayaks and wonderful yard reaching the waterfront. Definitely planing on staying here again next year.
We loved this property. Just as shown. Clean and comfortable inside, and lots of room outside to enjoy the lake. Solid dock, lots of chairs. Firepit with wood available for purchase. Great grassy yard with lots of birds.
It was the perfect place to relax for a few days. Two canoes to go on the lake, the kids could go into the lake by themselves as it is very flat and protected. The house is equipped with dishwasher, washing machine and the view from the master bedroom over the lake is just amazing.
The property representative was great. The home was lovely, well maintained, and
equipped with the items you would need both inside and out. We appreciated the easy to follow binder of notes available on the dining table upon arrival. And the lakeside view was spectacular. Many thanks Tracy!
This property is perfect for families with teenagers. The yard was a wonderful place to play yard games like corn hole and volleyball. The dock setup was perfect for our boat and there were very few steps down to the dock. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet with beautiful surroundings. We have stayed at many Finger Lakes cottages and this one is our favorite!!!
This property is exactly as the listing stated. Overall property is well cared for and stocked with water activities items such as kayaks. Checkin was easy, plenty of parking, the property is flat right to lakefront with a large dock.
Highly recommend property and will probably book for next year.
House as described. Comfortable furniture and bedding. Great view. Spotless. Enjoyed the fire pit.
Tracy was very communicative, and a pleasure to deal with.
This lovely lake house has beautiful views and everything one needs for a lakefront vacation. I was there for a few days in early spring and it was quiet and peaceful. The hosts were easy to work with & communicated quickly. I would definitely go back.
Very nice property on a great fishing like. We were close to Syracuse for a graduation.
Nice , bright cheery home. Home was very clean. Fantastic property for water access. Excellent dock for boats. Good fishing off the dock.
Close to stores and restaurants.
Despite terrible weather, everyone enjoyed themselves.
First time in Finger Lakes. Loved the house we rented right on the lake. Such a pretty place. Loved the patio. Owner and Joy worked with us because we could not stay till Monday and thank you for that. Hope to return to Finger lakes next year
Clean house. Amazing location. The lake itself is soo clear. We could see the bottom at least 4 feet out. I'm a water girl and usually a salt water fan.... however this lake won me over. Great dock for fishing or tying your floats up and just hanging. Owner was VERY responsive when we had a very minor issue. He Was ready to come and take care of it but it was nothing that hindered our vacation so we told him not necessary. We will definitely go back.
We stayed at this lake house when visiting family close by. It was the perfect location. We had two little kids (2 and under), and this house was great! The downstairs allows enough room for people to gather all while being able to see your kids at all times. It had everything we needed to cook meals and everything was clean and neat. We stayed here during the spring when the weather was cold and rainy, but are looking forward to coming back in warmer weather where we could enjoy the dock and the fun water toys that the house provided. We’d happily book this home again!
We had a lovely week on Owasco Lake. It was our 1st vacation in the Fingerlakes. We chose this smaller lake hoping it would be much quieter in terms of boat traffic and cottages being on top of each other. It worked! We had privacy and safe swimming & kayaking every day! House was clean & spacious, with a large yard right on the lake. We cooked, grilled and had a campfire. Be aware water has a strong sulfur smell. Bring your own for drinking & cooking. We all had a great time!
Chosen for its centered location between Ithaca and Auburn and for the great-looking lakeside view, this lived up to both. We were a family group of 7 and this had plenty of room for us and to host a dinner with the new mom and baby we were up there to visit. Plenty of room around the table.
The vista, even in gray mid-winter was beautiful, the seating comfy and varied (our taller husbands enjoyed their chairs), TV and WiFi strength provided all entertainment needs on a rainy night.
Bedrooms were spacious and mattresses provided good night’s sleep. The kitchen was very well stocked and easy to navigate.
In warmer weather the patio would be great for hanging out.
We visited pre-Covid but the place was super clean and uncluttered, so I’d expect it to be a place I’d be comfortable returning to — even if you’re being as extra careful as we are, it would be easy to spotlight and give and extra wipe down to common areas (if you’re being that cautious) and then feel secure.
It still has that new-house feeling, sparkling and new.
Enough parking for our three cars. Just a note about arrival, though: the house is set back from the main road, on a drive that’s parallel to the road. In the dark it can be easy to drive past the first time. Keep your eyes peeled. It’s sure worth looking for!
The house and grounds are beautiful. It’s clean, comfortable and relaxing. There is a flat lawn from the house to the break wall. Then it’s just 5 steps down to the huge shallow beach which is perfect for young kids. The boat dock is designed to tie up your boat easily so it doesn’t bang into the dock. It is so quiet and peaceful. The boat traffic is light and the neighborhood has permanent residents around so everything is well kept. It was a great vacation and we thank our hosts for sharing their beautiful home with us.
We all had a nice, relaxing time at this lovely lake house. The property is large and flat allowing for some serene November lake views with some ducks floating by. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who might be looking to stay here in the future.
Property nice and clean. Outdoors area well groomed. Beach area made going in and out for kayaks. Weather initially in 90's. The 1st floor does not have its own air conditioning system. In order to keep the 1st floor cool, the room sized air conditioners of the 3 bedrooms upstairs had to be used and put on high. So, we couldn't indicate what temperature we wanted to cool it to. After the heat, it turned cool and rainy. There was a thermostat for heat in the downstairs area.
Beautiful flat yard nicely landscaped. House very clean and beds comfortable. The only downside is there are no restaurants or wineries accessible from the water which we didn’t expect prior to our stay. Very relaxing space!
