Great house, great lake.

Such a great week - the kids and cousins got to bunk up, jump off the dock and run laps around the enormous open living space. Jim was always responsive and made the check in/check out process seamless. The big takeaway from the family was “we have to rent this again next summer”! 10/10

Just returned from a 1 week stay on Owasco Lake. The location is great. (close to Auburn NY) Water clarity is excellent. Dock is small but also has a swim raft. House is spacious overall and has a nice new deck overlooking the lake. Deck furniture is in good shape. Separate patio with tiki bar and large gas grill. (it worked but was pretty filthy.) Has a fire pit on a lower level of the patio but no seating on that level. Plenty of free firewood for campfires. The bedrooms were spacious and beds reasonably comfortable. Had to unclog 1 bathroom drain. Kitchen had the right equipment incl. 2 refrigerators. 1 had no shelves in the door and was hard to keep from freezing our food. Plenty of knives but no sharp ones and no sharpener. I bought one and left it there so problem solved. The family room furniture was ready for the trash, worn and stained. 2 decent sized dining tables but pretty rickety. LR sectional couch was in decent shape but needed cleaning. The grounds around the house have a lot of potential but have not been maintained. More noticeable as the neighboring house has beautiful landscaping. Gutters need maintenance which became an issue when it rained hard and water poured off the roof in front of the door, making it hard to enter without a good soaking. Exterior of the house needs maintenance. (missing siding, peeling paint, etc.) Owner needs to attend to safety issues re: inoperable smoke detectors and electrical outlets w/o covers.

We had one of the best Thanksgivings to date! Jim is great to work with and the house was generous with all their supplies. We loved it!
