Great Oneida Stay

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.

Great Lake property

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!

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!

Great for family

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Jul 2023
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.
