Repeat Guest

We've stayed at the cottage many times over 15+ years. Lots of privacy and quiet for a lake environment, the adjoining cottages are 50 to a 100 yd away. There is nothing fancy about the circa 1880 cottage or furnishings (aside from the large modern bathroom and laundryrooms). The attraction is the location and view. There is a lot of comfortable outdoor seating. Sunsets from the seats at the end of the dock are great. It is a very large lot with lots of places for kids to explore, if they aren't using the watercraft or swimming off the dock, which was weed free.

We had a great week at the cottage! The location is excellent. The property is beautiful, the beach is clean, nice dock for swimming and jet skis, great fire pit. The cottage was nice, very comfortable and had everything we needed for the week. Other than Joanne stopping by at check in we didn’t require anything more from the host. Everything worked as expected and we had a wonderful stay. The neighbors, Nancy and Mike couldn’t have been nicer! The bonus for us was that we were able to bring our dog!We can’t wait to return next year!

Nice comfortable cottage with character

We had a terrific time! The cottage was very clean and comfortable.. The kitchen has lots of counter space and is well stocked. The beds were very comfortable too. It was nice being able to walk right into the lake without any steps. Will definitely come back.

Great Lake Campfires

This was a nice spot and we have lakeside campfires every night. This is pretty calm and peaceful lake during the week, not too many obnoxious jet skis. The house is very cabin-like, but the bathroom is just about brand new. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, quiet getaway.

Summer Vacation

We had a wonderful week at this home. The property was so private, and the neighbors were far away but very friendly. Everyone that lived close by was nice and it certainly was a dog friendly community, we met Jerry, pepper, soleil and we brought sandy. Loved the location on the lake! House had just what you needed! Not fancy but met our needs, no wifi and no 1/2 bath on the second floor but otherwise perfect. We will be back!

Rustic and delightful

Nicely situated camp-like 3-season cottage on east side of Owasco Lake. Shady, generous amount of beach, fire pits. Rowboat and 2 canoes. Neighboring houses about 50 yards south, 75 yards north. Small but very adequate dock in good condition. Clear refreshing lake without weeds or algae. Many room A/C units a plus.

Missing information

It would have been helpful if we were told that we were responsible to bring 4 large garbage containers from the road, which was not close by, back to cottage Sunday then when we left to take them back up with our garbage and recycling. Bathroom on first floor and a “pee pot” for nights on second floor. Cottage inside and out could use good cleaning. Large spider webs everywhere.

Doggone

The cottage was simple and charming, you weren't afraid to come in with your shoes on. We kept our dog in our boundary as others did not. Unclaimed dog signatures lying around that were not ours.

Our family and pets had a wonderful time

Our family and pets had a wonderful time. The house and property was perfect for us and our dogs. Loved being able to let them swim whenever they wanted. The kids loved canoeing, fishing and boating. The weather and water were perfect. The house is so cute inside and out. We hope to rent again in the future.
