My family (me, wife, 2 kids, and grandparents) stayed at this charming lake house that was a close drive to our family reunion. We stayed for two nights. It was amazing! The house was better than expected -- me, wife and kids stayed in the upstairs bedroom and the children enjoyed the upstairs 'pool' tub. The grandparents stayed downstairs. Grandad took advantage of the lake access to do some early morning kayaking while grandma spent her morning watching from the safety of the cozy outdoor deck.The host was very responsive and informed us of a water main break and promptly sent someone to fix a toilet issue when we informed them of it. I love this place and look forward to staying here for our next family reunion!

Great house, perfect location.

We enjoyed our stay. House was clean and spacious. House can use another full bathroom. Lakeview was excellent despite the rainy days we had.

First, I’d like to say that Christine, the property manager, was excellent – responsive and helpful. The property was as listed but several things could have been improved upon and were less that top notch. The towels and linens were old and thin. The lower deck was very nice but the railings on the stairs and lower deck were rickety. There was a laminated warning sign on the upstairs tub about how to gently use the handle as it was very easy to break. There were no games, books or entertainment things for the guest to use. The bushes and trees at the end of the yard were overgrown and greatly restricted what would have been a lovely view of the lake. Some other things to be aware of - there is a dock but the water is very shallow (1.5 ft. when we were there) and not deep enough to park a pontoon boat without great difficulty and risk of damaging the propellor. The spa tub is difficult to get in and out of and there is no curtain if you were using the hand sprayer as a shower. The bed in the one bedroom is a double (not a queen) which is something we missed in the listing. And overall, the mattresses had seen better days. All that said we had a very enjoyable time. Owasco Lake is lovely and not very busy. The home was comfortable and with most everything in working order. We were only 5 minutes from a great ice cream place (Tom Thumbs) and the towns of Auburn and Skaneateles were close with shops, restaurants and small museums to visit. The only other comment about the location is that the home is not close to many of the wineries in the Finger Lakes. Anyela’s Vineyards which was very good is 15-20 minutes away but it is a 45-minute drive to most of the rest.
