Adorable cottage on a pretty lake! Loved the views from the comfy enclosed back porch. Very clean. Hosts extremely accommodating. Perfect for our family. Enjoyed the upstairs queen bed with 2 beds in either bedroom off to the sides. 1 queen, 1 full, and 3 twin beds. Nice kitchen and living room. We didn’t get to use the fire pit or back yard due to how quick our trip was, yet they looked inviting too. Safe neighborhood with easy parking across the street. Great BBQ outdoor spot and adorable homemade ice cream location both within 5 minute drive. Plus waterfalls within 30 minutes. Convenient off 1-81. We will be back.

Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to seeing you another time! Richard and Ethanie
Adorable cottage. Right on the lake, great lake views. Besides all the amenities inside, they provide a grill, fire pit and wood, picnic tables, outdoor furniture. It was the perfect vacation spot.
The property was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. It was really nice to have clean beds to get into upon our late arrival. The view of the lake from the house was great to.
We had a very nice time here, house exceeded my expectations. The lake was beautiful to wake up to, I would bring my coffee out and sit in the chairs provided. Lovely neighborhood for a walk with a nice park down the road. Would come again!
This was the second time I stayed at the cottage. It is a very comfortable and welcoming property. I will definitely stay again. The owners are very welcoming and gracious hosts.
We enjoyed our stay! The owners are so friendly and ensured that we felt at home and comfortable during our stay. Highly recommend this cozy home on a beautiful lake!
It was so relaxing and peaceful being on the lake. We enjoyed the various outdoor seating options and the cozy living space. With a quick trip to find some shower supplies our trip was complete! Looking forward to another chance to watch the fish jump and the ducks float by.

Thank you! We look forward to seeing you next time!
Perfect little place for us to stay for our Daughters Syracuse Graduation. 25 min drive from the university and Skaneatles with lots of cute restaurants & shops.
My family and I were looking for a getaway not too far from home that was spacious enough for our family of five. The home was as described and definitely gave us that home away from home feeling. We enjoyed swimming by the lake, the fire pit and being able to watch the lake directly from the lovely sunroom. The owners were nice and available if needed. Would recommend!
This was the perfect little lodging for our family when we came in town for a baseball tourney. And when I say little- I mean that in a cute way- because this cottage has ample room! Great little lake, we found some hiking trails and walked around the lake a bit. Definitely happy we stayed- absolutely exceeded expectations!
Everthing was great - especially the hosts -cabin was perfect - caught many fish and had the most relaxing in over 40 years. will definitely be back in 2026 for a dover.
Beautiful cottage on the lake great fishing caught a few large mouth bass and went and saw a concert at the cidery amazing place cant wait to book it again
It Was clean and exactly as described, location was excellent for what we wanted. Close enough to town for convenience, but far enough to be away from any crowds.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful little cottage with me for the week. I totally loved my stay.

Use this field for evening star gazing or daytime athletic activities. We are season ticket holders for the Cortland Repertory Theater just a few minutes walk away, so ask us about play reviews and show times.

We recently, fully remodeled this cottage after we purchased it. It became available to us as it adjoins our summer home's north property line. We enjoy the lake so much, and we know you will too!
