It was exactly what we needed to relax and socialize. The screened in porch was particularly amazing as we watched rainstorms approaching across the lake; we were essentially outside and not getting wet.The cabin was convenient to Central Squre, NY, and about 1/2 hour from the Great NY State Fair. Perfect place for a relaxing get-away!
Good size chunk of property lots of room to spread out. Host is on site and very accommodating. House has everything you need to make your stay comfortable.
Visiting Oneida and enjoyed a long weekend at the house. Was traveling with my husband, 2 adult children and a friend. The house was clean and has all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed using the kayaks and hanging by the lake. The location was convenient and nice restaurants near by.
We had a great time .. Todd was a great host. He was there if we needed him. The house was everything we had hoped for. The lake access was great .. the kayaks .. the view!!! We would definitely rent this place again. It was a great vacation.
My family had a glorious week here! Sitting by the lake, regardless of weather was relaxing and beautiful. Luckily the weather was nice enough out last day to take out the kayaks. The house was comfortable and accommodating, with the r owners onsite it was great for any questions we had. Overall we had a great vacation and will definitely book again!

The lake is stunning! Beautiful..The cottage is def rustic and old but the owners did a good job updating it to feel more modern. There was no blow dryer in the bathroom and the kitchen could have had foil, plastic wrap etc. We bought our own and a sponge for washing pots and pans. There was a washer and dryer which was great. The outside area and fire pit could have been cleaned up a bit..wished they trimmed some weeds and cleaned out the fire pit. There was a gas BBQ but it was alittle scary and flamed up pretty bad. The area is lovely and there was a winery down the road and bar called the sandbar too..we went kayaking and fishing and the weather was perfect. All in all the cottage was perfect for a lake weekend.
We enjoyed our stay. The host was awesome and even called to see if we had any questions before our stay. The only thing that caught us off guard was there is not central AC, it was two window units. Just something to know incase you are like us and like a cool/cold house. Other than that everything was awesome! Beautiful property to enjoy time on the lake!
Has everything you need for a few days away with your family. We loved kayaking and the view of the lake. The only thing could be better is the distance from the road. The house is too close to the main road. Don't let the outside look of the property deter you from going, because the inside is cute, clean, with AC and two TVs. The hanging lights outside make it very cozy.

A Senior's Stay
The host went out of his way to make the property hospitable with little herb and vegetable patches. He was extremely responsive when we identified a cleaning issue. Outside of his control, the geese too love the property.
The house is old and the floors uneven. The steps to the upstairs are steep. The front porch is sagging. The back flagstones, too, offer uneven stepping. These pose some mobility challenges for the youngest and eldest of us.
We found the furniture and lighting uncomfortable for reading or knitting.

Not well maintained
Tod was a nice guy. That being said, the listing description was not accurate. The bar closeby has been closed for years. Its not rustic, its dirty. The outside of the house was dirty as was Tod’s. The house a/c’s did not keep it cool, it was extremely uncomfortable. When I inquired about the docks handling our boats, he said that the 1.5 ft of water would be ok. Of the 9 places weve stayed on Oneida, this was the worst. Im leaving this review to protect other potential renters. I feel bab but its all true.

Unfortunately, personal reviews like theses are difficult to read, but at the same time very helpful. I talked with Jeff and his fishing party each day of their stay here. I was never informed of any issues with the A/C not working. My family and I have switched out everything from light bulbs, propane tanks and even a refrigerator during guests stays, due to performance issues, upon being informed of the situation. The bar that is mentioned In Jeff’s review has been closed for almost 6 years and is not listed or marketed by myself or the website. The mention of the outside of the cottage being dirty, in addition to my families house being dirty is confusing and totally unmerited. As for the water depth for their boats, I have photos of their boats tied up to the dock. Some boats do have to be walked in to the dock, due to the under water sand bars in the bay. I helped Jeff and his fishing party walk the boats into and out of the dock. Here again, I will say that we chatted while working together and there was no mention of any issues with the cottage. When my family and I review guests on the website, we are very fair. I will conclude with the fact that Jeff and his fishing party we friendly we’ll mannered. However, the conditions in the cottage, when they left were a mess. To be specific; red solo cups, pasta and candy wrappers under the living room furniture and in the bedrooms. There was clearly oregano or some form of oregano type substance, on the first floor bedroom dresser and in the top drawer of said dresser. When my family and I entered the cottage to clean, we were greeted with an uncapped water bottle, half full spilling water on to floor in the middle of the living room, in plain sight.
The property was great, There was lots of places to sit and watch the lake. The kids loved the kayaks and being able to get in and out of the water. We took advantage of the screened in porch and fire pit. It was definitely relaxing and great to be away from the city.
Todd is an absolutely phenomenal host! Excellent communication and very responsive to our needs. We arrived late at night during a heat wave and he had the ac running for us. Our family enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the beautiful lake. Wonderful vacation!
