From the moment we turned into the driveway until it was time to leave, we felt right at home in this beautiful house. It was lit with holiday cheer, warm and welcoming when we first arrived. Upon entering we were impressed with its old farmhouse charm. The back entry area was spacious and made it easy to unload everything from the car. The updated kitchen is well-appointed; we had everything we needed. Plenty of cooking equipment, dishes, etc. Two refrigerators made it easy for us to store everything we brought for a 5-day stay that included Christmas dinner. Each bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The living area was also spacious and comfortable. The pool table was a nice surprise, and got a lot of use. The updated bathrooms were great; the master en suite bathroom will be updated, but was fine as is. We loved the master as a whole, with the separate dressing room in between the bedroom and the bath. The view of the lake from the bedroom just added more to the charm. Amy, the owner, was fantastic to work with although we really didn't need anything from her, as she thought of everything ahead of time and was generous in her provision of all that is needed for a comfortable stay. What was missing? Snow for a white Christmas, nothing more! Thank you, Amy; we will be back!

This was an amazing opportunity for a family gathering from NC, SC, and NY. The home was perfect, and I do mean perfect. There was room enough for all, with several areas to just "chillax". The hosts were super communicative and attentive to every detail. My family will return in 2024!

Was able to find a home that could accommodate our 7 adults, one child and a dog that was in a great location along Owasco Lake and just two miles from our relatives home. Everyone enjoyed their stay. The house was well equipped and stocked with all the necessities. Many other amenities were available that would be great for a stay in more warmer weather and we will certainly consider this rental when we visit in the summertime. Great location for day trips throughout the Finger Lakes region!

Pros: Large house was very clean, plenty of linens and towels, close to wineries and stores, equipped with numerous games for both young and adult, Bluetooth speaker, great WiFi, VERY well stocked, plenty of paper goods, nice pool table with all the balls and cue stick, kitchen very well equipped with coffee pots, pots, pans glassware etc.,two refrigerators, ceiling fans, large porch, view of the lake from the porch is SPECTACULAR, impressive collection of lawn toys to play with. Cons: Only one TV, locking mechanism on front door was too high for most people to reach, front door knobs very old and hard to turn, no Ring doorbell or smart locks or any sort of security camera type of door bells/lock on either front or back doors, entry can only be made using a key, doors could use touch up paint and hardware, hallway entry’s paint was peeling terribly. Very unsightly, Dining room chairs were mix matched, walls had terrible water stains, Billiard room ceiling showed previous leak damage. On the second day of arrival the ceiling started to leak. Owners quickly responded to our call and had a plumber come out. He arrived within 30 minutes. My husband stayed behind and was not able to join us on our winery tour. My husband stated that the plumber asked that we not use the bathroom until the next day which was Sunday. Sunday evening a family member used the upstairs shower and it leaked again. So we decided not to use the upstairs bathroom. This proved to be an inconvenience as there were 8 adults now using one bathroom to shower in. The other upstairs bathroom had a tub but no shower and my family and friends did not wish to use the tub. After the plumber left on Saturday a man arrived in a pickup truck accompanied by two huge dogs. My dog and I were playing and did not see the dogs until they started barking. I quickly got a hold of my dog and went inside. Later, the same man entered the home started playing with the light switches and left. Maybe the owners sent him. In either case we should have been informed that he would be arriving. The wall paper in the Master Suite was peeling in areas. I would not recommend renting this home unless the owners could show that the necessary plumbing repairs and water stain removal have been made.

The house has everything that we needed. Lots of space and the front porch was the center point of our stay. The coolest spot in the heat. Easy access to the lake. Dock area was great. Plenty of room to sit and the lake depth made it accessible to all ages. A perfect place to cool off when it was hot. Convenient location to local activities and attractions. We had a great week.

Loved it. Not perfect but really great for an older house. The owners have put a lot of work into it, and it served our group of 9 well. Our family had another rental house and this one easily accommodated a couple of gatherings of all 23 of us. Loved the large front deck. Lots of nice amenities included. I'd go back.
