This home is beautiful, one level (so easy for any folks with mobility challenges), and has a gorgeous lake view and lakeside patio. Kayaks and canoe are wonderful additions. Kitchen is super well stocked, grill with plenty of propane-couldn't have been a better stay!
Lovely property with great view of lake. Very spacious, easily accommodated 3 couples.
Equidistantly located (20-25 min.) from our three main destinations, Aurora, Seneca Falls, and Skaneateles. Great place to come back to and relax in between outings. We were very satisfied with our stay.
We had the best time at our VRBO! Pictures do not do the house justice. It was extremely spacious and sparkling clean. We had fantastic communication with the owners and they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Highly recommend this place to everyone!!
Our family spent 6 days at this house in June 2023. Beautiful house with all amenities you can think off. We enjoyed our time sitting next to the lake, watching sunrise, and kayaking. Would love to return back as this was one of the best VRBO experience we had.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay, and we would love to have you return!
We were very happy with this spacious, spotlessly clean house right on the lake! It was a rainy weekend but the view was magnificent and the one clear night was beautiful for stargazing! The manager was responsive to queries. We really enjoyed our weekend and hope to come again!
We had a wonderful long weekend. The house was large and clean and with all the amenities we needed. Communication with the host was superb. The property is right on the lake so it's easy to just jump in a kayak whenever you want to go out for some time in the lake, but also lovely to just grill on the back deck while looking out over the water. I went with my husband and some friends and we had a great time. Would highly recommend.

We are so happy that you enjoyed your time at the lake! Thank you for the kind words and please come back any time!
We had a wonderful time at Serenity on Owasco lake! We are a family group- 6 adults and 2 boys age 9 and 11. The house was full of cool things to look at and play with. The kayaks were wonderful! The yard was large enough to play yard games! The dining room table was perfect for meals and the living room was a great game room. The kitchen has everything you could imagine. We used the waffle iron and crock pot. I highly recommend Serenity and Elaine and Dennis were great hosts.
The home was clean & well decorated with large rooms & updated bathrooms. Beds were comfortable. The home is right on the lake with a big back yard. We enjoyed the kayaks provided & playing outdoor games. There was a good deal of lake kelp on the shore line so we kayaked out further and had a wonderful swim. I would recommend bringing a boogie board or float to get out there. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the lake & the beautiful sunrises. The house & the lake were wonderful. It is perfectly located near Emerson Park which had a cute dog park. Unfortunately, they didnt allow dogs on the walking paths. Wegmans & Aldi are within 15 minutes. The town of Skaneateles about 20 min. We enjoyed a sightseeing boat tour and walking around town. We also hiked Carpenter Falls & loved Filmore State Park. Plenty of restaurants in the area. We recommend Rosalie's Cucina, Prison City Pub & Brew and loved the Elderberry Pond Farm to table restaurant. We visted Seecca Falls & National Women's History Park - loved it. Overall, bring some cooking supplies paper products & you are good to go.
Wineries we recommend- Anyela's Vineyards. Lovely vews & allows dogs & Quarry Ridge. Great stay. We will return.
