Outdoor spaces are exceptional. Inside very nice, too. Clean, well-stocked with paper products, etc. plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware. Owner is responsive and pleasant. Rural, though you can see and hear neighbors, and about 15 minutes from two towns. (Tony, sharpen your knives and get a new grill. )

Relaxing lake getaway

We had a lovely stay during Easter Week with our family. It was a quick 40 minute trip to visit our oldest at Syracuse University and gave her a relaxing break from school. The house was pristine, checkin and communication with To y was seamless. The house felt like home away from home. The views of the lake were gorgeous- we caught some stunning sunsets! My son was able to fish off the dock and all of us had our own comfy room. We enjoyed an afternoon in Skaneateles and To y’s recommendation for food and things to do were spot on. We would love to return in the summer or fall.

Perfect spot to enjoy lake Owasco

Spacious, clean, and well organized are the key takeaways for this property. The host provided a wonderful selection of information about the area and the on-site amenities like the dock and water toys were all well maintained and easy to access. Wonderful views and a quiet neighborhood. Everyone in our group has nothing but good things to say.

Beautiful, relaxing getaway!

This house and property has an amazing view of the lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. We used both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces. The host, Tony, was very accommodating and helpful during our stay. This VRBO is nearby to many wineries, vineyards, Skaneateles and the famous MacKenzie-Childs Farmhouse and visitor center. We look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful Cottage, Excellent Hosts

My siblings rented four cottages on Lake Owasco for a nephew's wedding and family reunion, and by all accounts this was the best house. Gathering areas inside and out were spacious, modern and comfortable, all with great views. I loved the various places to sit outside, shaded and sunny, but sipping wine at the end of the dock while watching the sunset was simply the best! Special kudos to our hosts: In addition to excellent communication generally, they accommodated a family member with allergies by providing fragrance-free linens and towels, and even stocked special soaps for our use. I also appreciated the artistic touches throughout the home and the lovely welcome basket. Our hosts clearly care about the home and the happiness of their guests. Thank you Tony & Joette!

Awesome place, even better hosts.

The house is beautiful and clean, and boasts amazing sunset views over Owasco Lake. We had a group of 4 adults and 5 kids. There was plenty of space and entertainment for all ages. Everything is just as advertised and photographed. Our group particularly appreciated the outdoor space, including the patio with covered and uncovered sections, nice yard for kids to run around, deck overlooking the lake, and private beach area for swimming/fishing/kayaking. It’s clear from the moment you walk in that Tony and Joette want you to fully enjoy your stay. We were greeted by a welcome basket with goodies and a binder full of helpful info and local recommendations. The kitchen is well stocked, there’s reserves of toiletries, first aid, and outdoor supplies. They are top shelf hosts. 5/5, would happily visit again.

The finger lakes are our families favorite place to visit, so when deciding how to celebrate my 60th birthday, the decision was easy.
