Beautiful house in a spectacular setting overlooking the lake. We were very comfortable and appreciated the obvious thought and effort the owners have taken to make the house a wonderful place to stay. The air conditioning worked very well during the near record high temperatures we experienced. Loved my peaceful mornings eating breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake. Enjoyed the antique shops nearby in Bouckville. We appreciated that the owners provided a great deal of bottled water which we used for drinking and cooking.

About the host

Hosted by Vera Kuss

Host profile image
I have lived in this area my entire life and love the many lakes and rolling hills. I finally realized one of my dreams of owning a cottage on a lake! I couldn't have found a more perfect fit at Leland Pond. I have three daughters and one granddaughter who will be enjoying the cottage occasionally. Travelers needing a quiet, clean home away from home can rent for 2 days or a week!

Why they chose this property

Super convenient and easy to service and maintain!

What makes this property unique

Close to Colgate University, Hamilton College and Morrisville College ! Close to great mall in Utica or Syracuse ! Close to awesome waterpark in Old Forge, NY !
Leland Pond is quiet and clean yet close to many amenities!
