ON LAKE! Peaceful Private Level Beach, Pet Friendly,Stream,Dock,Woods,Rowboat!
This waterfront cottage has the perfect surroundings for a family getaway! Because it is the last cottage on a dead end, nature is all around you here! There are woods to walk through with a small waterfall and babbling brook that runs alongside the cottage. A long grassy front lawn can be used for all kinds of outdoor activities, and best of all the beach is level with no steps! There is a dock to keep your boat on if you decide to bring one or rent one. The walk out into the water is a fairly gradual one which is great for small children. The best thing about this beach is not only is it level, but there are no weeds growing here in the water so a pleasurable swim is in store. The beach consists of small flat rounded rocks. We also have a rowboat with life jackets you can use if you want to venture out in the lake a bit more! A short walking distance away (approx. 200 yards) is a a large green space (about 10 acres) with a small playground and room for all kinds of outdoor lawn activities that require a large space. A dirt path/private road runs along side it and is great for kids that bring bikes or scooters etc. or just for taking a nice walk! The approximately 1000 square foot cottage has a wonderful open floor plan and boasts a very spacious living and dining area great for conversation or relaxation with nice views of the lake and stream. The living room leads out to a deck on the lake side which has a grill, lounge furniture and dining with all the sounds of nature. The modern kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of cookware/utensils and is just off the dining room, which also has views of the lake through the living area. There are three small cottage sized bedrooms, one with a queen, another with two twins another with a double, and there is a queen sofa bed in the living room. The shade from the large old trees around the cottage and the lake breeze keep it nice and cool so there is really no need for air conditioning. We do have a couple of ceiling fans and portable oscillating fans you can place in the bedrooms or wherever you like. There is no furnace in the cottage but there is a portable space heater you can place where you like and also some electric blankets for chilly spring or fall nights.

Thanks for the five star review Scott! It was a pleasure to host you and we are happy to hear the cottage was exactly as advertised. We would be thrilled to host you again!
This was our second time staying here, and the fact that we returned says a lot! We had a wonderful time, everything went smoothly, and Christine was a great communicator. If you have a dog, I highly recommend this property. Our dog loved swimming in the lake!
This is a great house, very well equipped with everything you need. Awesome lake access and close to plenty of outdoor activities. We were traveling with our two kids (6 and 4) and there were lots of kid friendly trails within a 30 minute drive. The house is very peaceful and the neighbors are very friendly. The lake is great for little ones as it has a gradual entry. We would absolutely stay here again. There’s also an awesome market (Modern Market) just down the road in town which is very convenient.

It was a pleasure to host your family. It’s definitely a great spot for little ones to explore nature safely. We made so many wonderful memories at this cottage when our kids were young. We’d love to have you back so you can make some more too!
Christine is an awesome host. She kept in touch, was accommodating, and very kind and helpful! Thank you so much Christine for sharing your special place with us!

I’m so glad you were able to stay cool during that heat wave. You were a pleasure to host and I would love to have you back sometime!
This property was impeccably clean. Most everything you need was provided. Host was very responsive to emails. I’d have to say just because of prices in California where I live and remembering upstate NY prices year ago I was surprised by cost. HOWEVER that being said doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. Probably me being out of touch with the finger lakes anymore. We were looking for a memorable experience in the area we grew up in and we got just that. We may come back again. I highly recommend.
We had a wonderful and relaxing visit to the Moravia Lake House on southeast shores of Lake Owasco. The property was easy to find and very close to the small country town of Moravia (where local sundries can be picked up at the Modern Market, delectable Perry's ice cream to enjoy at the local parlour, and the Ferris Glen State Park with it's waterfalls, hikes, swimming hole, and gorgeous gorges!The house itself was an eclectic mix of boho chic and country living vibes. It has a very warm and inviting feel with a large dining table and lots of couches for lounging inside, reading, and playing games. The waterfront is down a long gravel pathway where a charming mini-dock pokes into the clear rocky bottom of the lake front. Swimming was wonderful even in early September as the water was not cold at all and very clear and clean. It was lovely to sit by the water in morning and watch the sun hit the opposite shore (house is on the eastern shore), read, and enjoy sunsets and evening bonfires in the fire pit. The property is dog-friendly and we had out pup there who loved swimming and playing on the beach and met two neighbor dogs to play with as well. The neighbors were all friendly and welcoming in this small cove community. We had some questions about accessing the TV service and kayak rentals for the host and we would have appreciated more info about those things. But otherwise we had little issues during our stay.

What a wonderful review about our property and we thank you! We did respond to the kayak rentals right away though so not sure why this was mentioned. We gave a phone number immediately, name and hours of the business (Owasco Paddles). We may keep two kayaks on site besides the rowboat for future use since it was hard to find rentals.
The TV instructions are in the binder on the counter. We double checked and it’s working fine. The next group has no issues.
We would definitely love to host you again! We are so happy you loved all the same things we do at our very special place!
Was a nice and cozy spot right on the lake. We enjoyed the views from the deck and easy access to the water. Was alvery responsive and answered all questions quickly.
We loved our lakeside stay came just as advertised
Love the crystal clear water, cozy cottage with nice new kitchen, wonderful enclosed porch with great views, but mostly the sunsets with a fire!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. And yes the lake and sunsets are amazing!!!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The lake access can’t be beat - we spent time there every day - the beach area made it easy for kids to wade/swim. Check in/out instructions were clear and Christine was reachable when needed! There was plenty to do in the area - we are already thinking about our next trip to the Finger Lakes!

About the host
Hosted by Christine Izzo
We are both high school teachers at local schools and live closeby. We can quickly attend to any needs you may have during your stay since this is our 'summer job'! We actually purchased the cottage when our children were toddlers so they would have a place to enjoy nature and be able to navigate gradally into the water easily at the nice level beach.
Why they chose this property
We love the quiet secluded atmosphere that this old fashioned style summer cottage community has. The lot and beach are the most important features of this cottage!
What makes this property unique
The nice level weed-free beach, and quiet setting are definitely the best attributes of this cottage. Great sunsets and views as well!
