We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful log home. It was perfect for celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. It was spacious, comfortable and we really liked hanging out on the deck. It made for a nice weekend getaway. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed at this beautiful home along Owasco Lake in the Finger Lakes, and it was a fantastic experience. The house is spacious, with three large bedrooms, a generous kitchen, open living and dining areas, and a large basement — perfect for relaxing or spending time with family. Everything was neat, clean, and well-maintained. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway.
My family and I had a wonderful stay! It was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The location allowed for plenty of relaxing by the lake AND beautiful hikes. We are so thankful for our time there.
This is such a private, peaceful property. It is a comfortable place with the most wonderful porches and decks with lots of chairs and couches. It was great for visiting with family and cooking meals on the grill.
Very nice home in a good location for a quiet vacation. Be careful if you are traveling with a larger boat. The driveway is not friendly for large pull behinds.
Nick's house is very comfortable and the location is good. It's just a short walk across the road and down a short hill to the lakeside area where we swam and relaxed by the water. From the house deck, you can glimpse the lake through the trees. Apart from less-than-ideal coffeemaker, our experience was fun and very relaxing.
Very easy, glad that was pet friendly during these close family times, great space to spread out full basement level and main entertainment level, make sure you bring everything to lake as you don ’t want to walk uphill/down again each time you need something, overall very good
Recently stayed with my family and enjoyed our time. The house was beautiful and very clean. The wrap around porch was great for the kids. We rented a pontoon for the day and conveniently docked it for a lunch break! We sat out by the fire pit in the backyard every evening. The lake is a very short walk from the house. The beach area is rocky, but other than that was as described. It was a very relaxing, peaceful getaway!
Three friends were there for a reunion had the luxury of our own comfortable bedrooms. The peace and quiet of the lake woods and amazingly beautiful home made for a grand time together. There are a lot of stairs and slate walkways which may not be the best for much older renters, but we especially enjoyed the open feeling and views in the A frame and the ambience of the huge fireplace. There is a complete kitchen with everything you need - you could happily hide away above Lake Owasco and enjoy the Fall leaves and lake view, even if it is too cold to swim!
Beautiful house! Private location surrounded by woods. There was a huge wrap around porch with a lot of lawn furniture.The lake was breathtaking! Quiet and peaceful. Just the right amount of lake access! Paddle boards and a kayak were available to use! We had enough room to dock our pontoon boat that we rented! We fished and swam right of the dock! Downstairs we played pool and ping pong .This was truly a beautiful perfect vacation place!
We headed upstate for a few days to celebrate the New Year and my MIL's birthday. Kitchen was very well stocked - we managed to cook a very good dinner from scratch one night! The basement had games to play and the lake is beautiful (rock beaches, so wear actual shoes). Checking in was super easy. Good grocery stores in Auburn. My only complaint is that there were other nearby properties, but we were the only ones there so we didn't have to worry about it. A great long weekend, overall!
Beautiful property inside and out. The home was clean, stocked better than any rental we have been in, and we rent frequently and had dozens of board games and options for the kids when they needed a break from lake life.
The walk to the dock is beautiful thanks to the neighbors gorgeous flowers and everyone was friendly.
The only thing to note was there are not televisions in any bedroom. To our family that wasn't a negative.
Overall will look to book the property again or refer it to our family and friends.
My family enjoyed a seven night stay at Nick’s property. Beautiful views of Owasco Lake were only a short walk down from the main porch. We were greeted by Jack, the local cat from a nearby lakehouse, most evenings. The property offered close driving proximity to Auburn, Skaneateles, and other Finger Lakes Region locales.
Do be careful with the hardwood floors, particularly the stairs leading to the master bedroom (I had a slip and fall while in socks). Additionally, uneven terrain around the cabin and deck could be difficult for young and elderly guests.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and Nick was very quick to respond to questions regarding check-in and check-out through the app. Thank you for hosting us!
Property didn't look like the photos. Weedy and overgrown on the outside. Inside, the downstairs shower was leaking and wouldn't shut off. When we pointed this out on the phone to the host's mother (who had answered) she became defensive and stated that she wanted us out the next day. The host finally answered via e-mail the next day and agreed to send a plumber who confirmed the leak and had to order a part which made the shower unusable for the remainder of our stay. There was a cooler there for drinking water but mostly empty, quickly ran out. We had to contact host again to get more which arrived in the early evening. Also the grill gas ran out during our last grilling and there was no more available. Our son, a facilities manager for a large property management firm, noted several other violations of NY property code. When we contacted VRBO to try and get this straightened out, your representative was not helpful. BOTTOM LINE: We will never book through VRBO again. There are other online rental sites that do a much better job. We will be sharing our experience with as many people as we know. This property could benefit from the host visiting it to check on condition and making arrangements to fix it. PHOTOS of what we described are available on request.
