Our stay was great. We enjoyed the weather and the lake. The property was in a great location and is as shown on VRBO We would definitely rent here again. We had 5 people and 3 dogs and were very comfortable. It was really fun to have a camp fire literally on the beach steps away from the lake. Our host Lee was also wonderful.

Our stay was really nice. Even though the weather was a little rainy and cool, we enjoyed spending time in the sun room and the view of the lake was quite calming and peaceful. We would certainly book the lake house again, and recommend to friends.

The perfect Lakeside sunrise view

We had a wonderfully relaxing Labor Day weekend at this quaint and classic lakeside home. The private dock was great to sit on for hours reading or go swimming, and the house had everything we needed. Seeing the sunrise every morning was the absolute best experience!

Lakeside gem

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage easily accommodated our family of five and 2 active Golden Retrievers. Our host was immediately responsive to our needs and greeted us upon arrival. The location on the lake is superb with a lovely deck and a dock for our boat. Great time and we were up to see the beautiful sunrise every day!

Great Lake cabin

We really enjoyed our stay! Sunrises on the lake were beautiful! Kids enjoyed swimming out to dock & jumping in. Great campfire by lake at night. We enjoyed playing games on large table in sunroom overlooking the lake. Close to a beautiful hike at Filmore Glen. Will definitely come back! Thank you, Lee!

Lee is an amazing host. This was our second experience using VRBO and I have to say that I would definitely return every year if I could. Lee was right there if I called or texted, He took the time to share some of his memories with my wife and I and also spoke with my mother about her memories of his family.Would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. Simply and amazing memory I will cherish.

Awesome mini vacation

We had a great experience staying here! Communication with the owner, Lee, was easy and prompt, especially since this was our first time using VRBO. Easy to find the property. Very quiet; never saw neighbors, and just occasional vehicle traffic going to other locations. Cottage fully stocked with kitchen supplies for cooking and eating, games, etc. Wish we could have stayed longer, but will definitely choose to stay here again in the future!

Hidden Gem

Everything you’d want in a lake cottage. Enjoyed the beautiful sunrises, coffee in the Adirondack chairs, seashell treasures and refreshing dips in the lake. Enjoyed having all the windows open at night to hear the waves crashing. . I would recommend wearing water shoes as Owasco lake is know for having sharp zebra mussels that will easily cut your bare feet. This property was easy to find and close to town if we needed a store run. The owners are very welcoming and close by if we needed anything. Highly recommend and will make this an annual stay for years to come!

Lee was a wonderful host. Very responsive and friendly. Took care of a small issue right away. The property is lovely, water was warm and weather was great (thanks Lee ;). The house is definitely cottage, but was well stocked with everything you need for cooking, gaming, reading and relaxing! Even working if so compelled (available WiFi). The covered porch was a perfect shady place to read and paint rocks. Thanks Lee!

Great Camp Stay!

My cousins and I loved staying at the Camp. The neighborhood is quiet and serene. The birds and other water fowl, along with waking to the sun were treats. Owasco Lake is unbelievably clean and we enjoyed time in the water and relaxing on the waterfront. Mr. Holmes is such a great host. He greeted us and walked us through the camp. He was responsive to any questions. We would love to return.

Wedding vacation

Several days before the our stay there was a problem with our reservation. There was a 24 hour period that our money was refunded and we had no rental and a wedding to go to. Not sure what happened but the owner corrected it and we were booked again. This camp is right on the water. Beautiful setting! It rained a lot while we were there but there is a roof over the patio so you could still eat outside. It is an older home so there were some nails sticking up on the side dock area. The dock does not have a lift like I had seen in a picture. Overall we had a great time?

Great Views/Very Clean

My wife, 15 month old daughter, and 2 year old Goldendoodle loved this property! The owners were highly communicative and left a complimentary bottle of wine upon check in! There aren't many pictures of the property online, don't let that fool you; the view is spectacular, and the seating on both the porch and in the living room is ample. The wi-fi was easy to connect to, and the property was VERY clean. We didn't hesitate to let our little one crawl all over the floor. The master bedroom is a full size bed and a twin bed with an awesome view of the water. The second bedroom has a full size bed. The bathroom has a shower stall. The kitchen was appropriately equipped (we only used the grill once, chose to eat out in Auburn and Aurora). There were very comfortable chairs and sofas all over the entire house. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, or by the fire pit in the evenings. Great vacation, very relaxing. Would definitely book this again.

Fantastic location!

The deck right over the water was great!! And the house gets morning sun and then stays relatively cool since you’re out of the sun for the heat of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Lee was accessible and attentive if anything was needed. It is not a luxurious place, more of a camp but right on the water! Don’t forget sheets and towels and anything else you might need for the kitchen. Kitchen was stocked w appliances and dishes etc but make sure you remember butter, condiments, etc. The deck on the water is a flight of steps down from the main house - so often we ran up & down as we spent much of our time down there. Had company over and parking was not an issue. The house had a great indoor area overlooking the lake which I’m sure we would have used had it not been great weather! Lots of furniture and games out there for a rainy day! Great dock to jump into the lake from and we had a great time.
