  We were here for the long weekend. The place is close to NYC. It was only a 1.5h drive. We were 4 people and there were more than enough beds for us. The place is super close to the lake and has a nice pedal boat with life jackets. The place was relatively quiet and you have a deck in the back for bbq-ing etc. We did not use the grill. It may need some scrubbing before use. The house has internet and so you can continue to stay in touch with people. The kitchen is well equipped and there are small grocery stores close by. The one issue we had was that the bathroom door would not lock. Overall, the experience was good and would definitely think about renting again.

  Stayed here mid-week for several days. The house is very nice, bigger than you would think from the pictures. It was chilly outside, but the house has oil heaters and wood burning furnace, so we were warm. The fall foliage is lovely, and you can look at it directly across water from houses' back yard. The lake is very quiet this time of year. We got to see an owl sleeping in the tree nearby! There is also lots of hiking trails nearby. I recommend getting NYNJTC hiking maps, Kittatinny set. Overall we loved it and have since recommended it to a few friends.

  We spent two weeks with my family in this vacation home in August 2011. The house itself is great, especially the porch - our family loved it, altought the bedrooms are tiny. The lake is amazing too - great water for swimming, also a boat and a paddle-boat in great condition. The owner was also so nice to give us a fishing rod and we got ourselves some fish in that lake including catfish. Unfortunately, the water in the house comes from the lake so you can't use it for drinking and cooking and we had to order drinking water ourselves (a lot of water because we srink and eat a lot :) Also, there was no dishwasher so you have to wash your own dishes and since there were 7 of us there, there were a lot of dishes. So these are the only cons to this house and it's our own problem tat we didn't read with greater attention the information about the house because the owner provided all this information beforehand,

  Owner response: We start all rentals with an initial supply of at least 5 gallons of spring water dispensed through a refrigerated water cooler. Fishing on Lake Owassa, as on any NJ lake, requires any fisherman, age 16 plus, to purchase a NJ fishing license, sold locally or online. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and that your email to us said that you would stay with us again.

  My 2 sons and I spent a long weekend. All was as advertised and more. Quiet and relaxing. Bought food for the grill at Dale's Market and cold beer at Bud's Tavern. Highpoint and Stoke's Forests right up the road. We'll be back!
