Place was perfect for a family of four, 2 kids 9 and 11 for a weekend! Lake is right there with a dock to use, smores by the fire pit, marina next door, super clean. Full kitchen. New appliances. Washer and dryer. Kayaks. A/C works good, good water pressure in shower(shower is small but gets you clean!). Thanks Amber!

Nice small lake house, comfortable for my family of 5. Clean. Had everything we needed. (Although no Keurig! Only a standard coffee maker, bring your own coffee grounds!) My kids enjoyed the dock for fishing, swimming, and the 2 kayaks! They caught a handful of fish. Friendly, helpful neighbors. Was not sure which dock was ours, but the neighbors were able to point it out to us. Nice lake view. There are many small houses very close by, all of which share a grass yard. Like a “commons”. I don’t feel like the pictures accurately depicted this. Not much privacy.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback! I’m so glad your family enjoyed the lake, fishing, swimming, kayaks, and the beautiful view — and especially that the kids had some luck catching fish! I also appreciate your comments about the coffee maker and identifying the dock. I’ll make sure those details are even clearer for future guests. Lucky Stars is part of a small, friendly lakeside cottage community, with neighboring cottages nearby and a shared grassy lakefront area leading to the docks. I appreciate knowing that the overall layout wasn’t as clear from the listing as you expected, and I’ll review the photos and description to make sure future guests have an even better sense of the setting before they arrive. Thank you again for choosing Lucky Stars for your family’s lake getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lucky Stars cottage on Lake Owasco! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Beautiful lake views / sunrises, and Amber always responded quickly to any questions we had. The location was good for exploring the Finger Lakes and we even went to the NY State Fair. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Amber and Peter for sharing your cozy cottage with us!

This quaint cottage is super small and does not fit tall or larger people. The downstairs bedroom fan is so low I hit my hands while I was changing and I'm 5"5 the bed is also super loud and turning over would wake up my husband and child on the couch in the living room. The hallway leading upstairs is super low. The bathroom is also super super small. When you sit on the toilet your knees hit the sliding door that doesn't lock properly. It's perfect for 2 people who are normal size to smaller size. We also tried to sit outside one night and felt we were in someone's yard. Lots of cottages all on top of each other since its close to the marina (which we didn't use). The upside it was near town.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the cottage wasn’t the right fit for your family. As our listing describes, this is a small, traditional Finger Lakes cottage, including a compact bathroom, and we try to provide photos and details so guests know what to expect before booking. The living room couch is not intended or advertised as a sleeping space, so we were surprised to see noise from the downstairs bed described in relation to someone sleeping there. Like many cottages along Owasco Lake, homes in this area are fairly close together, particularly near the marina. Guests who are looking for a larger property, more privacy, oversized bathrooms or a more luxury-style accommodation may be happier with one of the larger properties available in the area, although those typically come at a considerably different price point. We’re glad you enjoyed the convenient location. Most of our guests have found the cottage to be a charming and affordable way to enjoy Owasco Lake and the Finger Lakes, and we’re sorry it wasn’t the best match for your stay.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Amber

Host profile image
I'm a Central New York native and love the finger lakes region and all that it has to offer from boating to wine tours to beautiful views and quaint villages with nice shops and restaurants. I'm a Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Masters in Skaneateles.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is cozy and adorable! It's a great home away from home for a short or long stay. It's fully stocked with just about anything you could need to make a great meal while away from home! If you find something is missing, let me know so I can fix that! We wanted to have a property on one of the finger lakes for our family to use but also to be able to offer to others so they too can enjoy this great area!

What makes this property unique

The views from this cottage are so relaxing! It's situated at the South end of Owasco Lake and from the living room you can see birds gracefully flying against the hillsides with beautiful blue water underneath them. This property is within walking distance to a great restaurant, Drifters (lots of Gluten free options), and is a perfect place from which to launch to spend time on the water or off, exploring the finger lakes region.
