We had a great time! The house was very clean and well kept. Excellent place to stay and plenty to do on the property if the weather doesn’t cooperate! The view from the house of the lake is gorgeous!
Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The home is well-maintained, comfortable, and packed with amenities that made our visit enjoyable and relaxing.One of the highlights was being able to use the nearby public boat launch and keep our boat docked at the property, which made spending time fishing on the lake incredibly convenient. The location is also ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with Watkins Glen just a short drive away for hiking and sightseeing, and Lake Ontario within easy reach for those interested in booking a fishing charter.The hosts were excellent throughout our stay, providing prompt and friendly communication whenever needed. We highly recommend both this property and its hosts, and we would gladly stay here again.
This home is truly special. Lake Otisco is incredibly serene and you get a panoramic view. We had poor weather during our stay but it was still relaxing to sit on the deck, stare out at the lake and relax. Then there's so much to do inside the home if you want—play pool, play 80's video games, cook a great meal, watch a movie. All of it super fun. We would stay here again if we have a chance.
Angela And Wayne provided all amenities need to have a fun stay on a lake for our grandsons graduation!! House had beautiful lake front view.! House was clean too! Had an awesome lower level with pool table and games ! It had a bar, juke box and theatre room! Thank you Angela and Wayne had a great stay!!! Karl and Marilyn
Beautiful lakefront property with lots of fun stuff to do. Well stocked kitchen with all the cooking equipment you would need. Not a ton of spices or anything like that, so bring your own. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only complaint about cleanliness is that the en suite shower drain is the highest point of the shower so there is always a puddle of water that doesn’t drain. There is also a slight odor of sewer gases in that bathroom- maybe the shower doesn’t have a u-bend? Overall a very nice stay and met our needs perfectly. Communication was ok- slow to respond to VRBO messages but answered the phone when I needed them.
We had a great stay! The house was very well taken care of. The hot tub was large and very clean, and we loved the fire pit right on the lake. We would love to stay here again in the future.
Lovely property, took my family here for a couple days and it was just absolutely perfect. It was very clean and family friendly. We will definitely be staying here again!
Excellent spacious kitchen stock with everything you need. The view of the lake is beautiful and so serene. We loved the game room and outside decks. We will definitely be a returning guest. Thank you for a very comfortable stay.
The house was a short drive from the Syracuse campus. We enjoyed the beautiful views and comfortable rooms. Beak and Skiff was very close by and made for a great afternoon outing! Wish we had more time to enjoy the area!
We stayed here for our wedding weekend with our groomsmen and friends. The property was beautiful and the game room/bar/theater was fun to hang out in. Sitting on the porch in the morning with coffee was relaxing. We were too late in the year but I love that you could use the dock and bring your own boat.
The house has everything you need. Beautiful views, plenty of space and even entertainment if it rains! We loved our stay there, it was perfect for our family.
My family and I stayed here and we could have not been happier with everything. The location and the property is great. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating with all our needs. Will definitely come back!
The place was fantastic. Clean, very fully furnished and the hosts were quite responsive. It was the perfect mix of quiet and accessible- 15 minutes from the quaint Skaneateles tourist areas but more private. Wineries may take a little planning with most 30-60 minutes away but it is the perfect relaxation getaway. Sissy’s Pizza just up the road is amazing.
