Beautiful surroundings and sunset

My family of 5 had a very pleasant stay with beautiful lake views and breathtaking sunsets. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy for us to prepare meals. The owner was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We would stay there again.

Great trip!

We wanted a spot on a lake to see the solar eclipse since it was in the path of totality. The place was perfect for our family and the house is so great. We would love to come back when it is warmer so we can go swimming!

Amazing stay

Great location with beautiful sunsets. Beautifully decorated and quaint lake house. The additional window AC and fans made the temperature comfortable as it’s was very hot and humid on the days we stayed. Many amenities but use of the paddle board and kayaks, and a the fire pit was our favorite part! Wi-Fi and TV with streaming service was great for movie night on the evenings it rained. We would definitely rent this property again!

For starters, we arrived at the home and parking was confusing since there were cars in the driveway and cars parked in the grass where we were told to park. Reached out to the host and didnt receive a response until 9:30pm. The House looked as if it was a very rushed quick clean. 1st lever shower stunk and there was sand/gravel in the shower, spots on the mirror. The Split level A/C units barely work and one slightly better then the other. 1st level hardly blows cold air. The one upstairs in the bedroom leaks all over the place. Fortunately the window units blow a bit better. Thankfully we brought fans. We did a walk-through and fou d alot of things damaged and non existent compared to the listing photos so we took our own pictures in case anything came up. There were some dents in the walls, flooring coming up and peaking. The refrigerator randomly turns the tep up and down on its own, along with a shelf in the fridge that doesn't stay put. The dishwasher control panel is broken and falls off when you open the thing. The gas heater/fireplace wall plate isnt attached and just hanging. 1st floor bedroom door doesn't close and a door knob is missing. 1st floor coke cooler fridge door handle broken and laying on the floor. There are multiple holes in the patio screen slide door and missing handle so its very hard to close when you are outside. Then the listing shows there 5 beds in total and home sleeps 11. There is ZERO CHAMCE it sleeps 11. Each room has 1 small bed. 4 in tot

Great cottage for family reunion.

The cottage is very nice and fully stocked. The views were gorgeous. My only comment is that there were no outdoor tables to go with the many outdoor chairs that were available. Luckily my one brother lived close so they brought a folding plastic table so we could eat outside.

Beautiful property, amazing experience

I almost don’t want to write this because I want this house to be available again next summer! This was one of the best places we’ve stayed. Gorgeous location, the house was so pristine it felt like we were the first people ever staying there. And it was so well and thoughtfully stocked-paddleboard, kayaks, life jackets, lawn games, board games, brand new towels and dishes and everything you could ever want. It was such a delightful trip-we can’t wait to come back! Thank you to the fabulous owners and family-everyone was so kind and made our visit so easy and comfortable!

Fun family time over Labor Day Weekend

The house is newly renovated and beautiful, with great, neutral, attractive design choices. The downstairs is lovely, with lots of seating, great views, a big deck (with almost too many chairs - it was crowded!). There was a nice selection of games - maybe add a jigsaw puzzle! Very nice towels - maybe a couple of extra dish towels would be nice. The kitchen had almost everything needed, except an ice cream scooper and a rubber spatula (and maybe another hot mitt and some trivets would be nice). We bought firewood and marshmallow sticks to use in the lovely fire pit. It was too cold for swimming but we appreciated that there were pool noodles. And there were a good variety of life jackets as well - maybe one more child one and one more extra large one would be ideal. The 2 single kayaks are great but if the owners add a tandem kayak it would be even better for our family of 4 next time - and we do hope to return to this lovely home! The owner is so friendly and helpful and got back quickly over text when we had questions, including about the location of one of the kayaks and when we locked ourselves out! Her father-in-law lives next door and lent us a hose to hose down the kayak and also lent us his key when we were locked out. Really went above and beyond in that, and we're very grateful! Very minor issues that didn't detract from a wonderful vacation: the downstairs bed moves/bounces a lot, the toilet runs a bit unless you jiggle the handle between flushes, and the walls on the second floor between rooms don't go all the way to the ceiling, which means noise and light travel between the rooms easily. We really enjoyed our few days at this home, and we and the kids didn't want to leave when our vacation was over! We look forward to returning!

Beautiful Area and House

The house is in a beautiful area of the lake. So easy to get to and nice level property. The lake is shallow for a long distance, so it's great for small children. The owner is wonderful and responded quickly to all my questions. House is open, light and airy. Everything we needed was there. Only negative is having one bathroom. But we knew this when we rented the house. Overall, we had a great time!

Beautiful lakeside get away

Wonderful place to stay on Owasco lake! House is newly renovated, clean, and stocked with everything you need to have a great time! Hosts are easy to contact and very accommodating. We loved the open living room with large windows that looks out onto the deck/ lake. The deck is great for grilling and eating out on, and is conveniently located close to the beach so we were able to watch our young kids play in the water while getting meals ready. Truly great setup for families. We will be back!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Bill grew up in Auburn NY. This home was his family lake house. Bill's family originally bought the home next door in 1953 and lived there full time. Eventually this property was for sale in 1956 and Bill's grandfather bought it for a summer cottage. Bill's parents eventually took it over and in the late 80's built the double garage and loft. We renovated that space in 2023. We bought it years ago and just renovated it to include updated amenities like a split system (A/C & heat) stainless appliances, trex decking new flooring and more. We added a full bath with large walk-in shower in January 2025. We reside in Rhode Island now and rent this beauty out to families and friends when we are not enjoying the space ourselves. We have 4 children. They have enjoyed many memories at the lake home and never miss a week together for our family vacation. Bill and I now sleep in the loft with when everyone comes for the week in July.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely LOVE our Burtis Point neighbors and neighborhood. Everyone is friendly and take pride in their properties. The flat roads are conducive to walks running and bike rides. The sunsets cannot be matched and the vibe of the area is relaxing and just serine.

What makes this property unique

We have 82 feet of Lake Frontage!! All FLAT!! We have an additional 1/4 acre of grass on the other side of the road where our guests have ample parking and a huge field for play! Our cottage sleeps 7 people comfortably and this year we just added. Our channel is great for swimming and fishing and the sunsets are the best on the lake.
