This was our second time staying at this cottage and we just love it. We love the 1920s style and all the space. The host made sure we had everything we needed, from fully stocked kitchen supplies to beach towels. We love sitting on the deck watching the boats go by. And the town of Cuba is so cute with restaurants and a coffee shop. Plus the lake is beautiful.

The property was very clean, the deck was fantastic, and the lake view was beautiful—definitely the highlight of our stay. There were plenty of beds for our family, and while they weren’t the most comfortable, the space overall was functional for a group.Communication with the host was excellent and very responsive. We had an issue with the Wi‑Fi when we arrived, but the host resolved it quickly, which we appreciated. There’s lots of seating throughout the home, though it’s better suited for conversation and enjoying the view than for cozy movie nights.The high mineral content in the water was unexpected, but understandable for a remote lake location. Overall, the host was great and the property had some lovely features.

Thank you for staying at our cottage. There is no city water available so every cottage has well water. This is the reason we don’t use automatic booking because we ask each guest if they are OK with the well water and bringing bottled water. If they say they are OK with it, we accept the booking. We will add “with high mineral content” to our question. We have the water tested every year and the results show it is safe for drinking, cooking and bathing. It is high in iron which is actually good for us. My brothers and I drink the well water but understand that some may not want to do so.

We had a wonderful weekend at this cottage at Cuba Lake. The cottage itself is lovely, clean and well maintained with everything we needed. It has beautiful 1920s details, which made it even more charming. The neighbors were nice and the owner, as well. We met her when she stopped by one of the days we were there. Cuba Lake is gorgeous, and there are plenty of businesses available nearby for groceries, coffee, dining and other big box stores available in nearby Olean. We loved this booking and would recommend it to anyone.

Great place to relax!!!

It was a very enjoyable stay at the lake. The owner, Amy, is a very comfortable person to rent from. Her cottage is definitely a grand reminder of my Grandmom's in years past. It took me back to a good place in my life. Every morning we woke up feeling refreshed and ready for another day at the lake! Life is good and this vacation was a grand reminder of that! PK and BC.

Perfect for family reunion

Owners are friendly and helpful. Feeling of house is retro-funk. If you want all the bells and whistles of modern day house, this won’t be the place for you. But if you want a look into Cuba Lake as it was back in the day, a huge yard to play and lounge in, a great swim spot, and a gorgeous setting, book now!

Making Memories & New Family Traditions

I had always wanted to stay at a lake house during the summertime, at least once in my life. And when I came across this little 1920s gem, it met all my expectations. From all of the wood flooring to the claw bathtub is something that you just don’t see anymore. It was clean and spacious and met all of our needs. Which was focusing on a beautiful view looking out the window as I prepared a meal for my family. In the time spent there, we made lasting memories, like our pups & little grandson, running down the lawn to the dock to see his Daddy & Papa while they were fishing. It was that night as we sat around the dinner table that we decided to make this a new family tradition.

Great family time

"We", myself, husband, sister and her husband booked the cottage for the week of Fathers Day. We had a small family picnic with our 80+ yr old parents and our siblings. This cottage was perfect. It was just like the cottage I spent my summers at when I was a child on a lake nearby. It is aged.. but I loved it. We were able to bring our 2 dogs, and the layout of the house was perfect to accommodate them. It was 90+ and HUMID, for the week so we did end up bringing a portable AC up from our folks and that made it comfortable. Bottled water is a must but that was no big deal. I loved the claw foot tub, it took me back.

Lake Life

We didn’t want to leave! The cabin is charming and well equipped, the location is the biggest attribute. Yes it was built in the 20’s and has a few quirks but our group loved it for those reasons. The lake was warm and very boat friendly which is where we spent most of our time. It was nice having the town of Cuba so close by for all our grocery needs and an occasional takeout meal. Next time I will better prepare for shade as there is very little in the afternoon sun.. a small pop up canopy would be the perfect solution. The owners are close by and very friendly and accommodating, we needed a few items and the brothers were quick to help out! Our age range was 6 months to 57 with a pack of 21 year olds that came for a night.. It was perfect

2/10 Terrible

Uncomfortable old charm

Very disappointed in the overall look and function of the cottage for the price that we paid for the week. The furniture is out dated and uncomfortable. The closets were unusable due to cobwebs and dust. There is no real storage in the kitchen, and you must be very careful walking down the outside steps as they are treacherous. The cottage should be properly updated, but you could still keep the 1920's charm. To get to the cottage from the road, there needs to be some stairs, the wooden retaining wall is falling apart. One of our guest slipped down the whole wall. The dock needs work. The one positive about the cottage is the yard is large and the view is beautiful.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020
At 90 years, our cottage is old and flawed; much like its owners. We all still love our time at Cuba lake each summer and we do our best to update something each year. The retaining wall for the parking area is not stairs and should not be used as such. Right next to the retaining wall is a slope to walk down to get to the cottage and the kitchen door. It is wide enough for a vehicle to go down if needed to unload food and beverages.

The whole overall experience took us back in time. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy no matter what activity. We brought canopies to cover the deck because of elderly guests to be out side but in the shade. There was a surprise around every corner and had a lot of fun exploring the home. Love the attention to the amenities and thoughtful extras. Already booked for next year and can't wait!
