About this property
Sunset Lover's Dream! Lakefront Cottage on Otisco!
This recently renovated cottage is located on 60' of lake frontage on Otisco Lake. Enjoy everything lakefront living has to offer in a cute little package! The cottage is on a rare flat lot! There is easy access to the water from the sloping beach to take out the kayaks provided. Take in the beautiful sunsets while sitting in the backyard by the fire! The cottage is located just 20 minutes from the Village of Skaneateles and 30 minutes from Syracuse University and SUNY Cortland.
Otisco Lake is great for the avid fisherman. It is especially good for walleye, trout and tiger musky fishing, while bass and panfish are also abundant. Whether you prefer fishing, tubing, jet skiing or just a casual ride on the water, Otisco lake offers it all. Come with your personal watercraft or rent one from the local marina and dock right outside the backdoor at the personal dock (available May - September depending on water levels).
The space is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation for a small family. It has been recently renovated with brand new hickory cabinets, vaulted ceilings and beautiful wood trim. There is a sofa and oversized chair to relax after a day of fun in the sun as well as a separate living space with full views of the lake. The open floor plan allows views of the lake and sunset from virtually every angle.
There are a variety of books and games to pass the time on a rainy day as well as 2 smart TVs where you can access your favorite apps with your personal sign on information. There is also a designated workspace in the bedroom to set up your laptop and catch up on emails or take a conference call with privacy.
The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans and utensils as well as a spice rack. There is also an instant pot, toaster, microwave and coffee maker.
There is a queen bed in the bedroom with large drawers underneath for plenty of storage as well as a loft with two twin mattresses accessible by ladder. Guests using the loft need to be able to navigate a ladder.
Although a lake front home is thought of as a summer destination, this cottage is the perfect getaway in the spring and fall as well! Enjoy the fall foliage, apple orchards, local wine tours, great hiking, quaint villages and so much more!
You will have full access to the entire cottage. There is a locked shed outside that we keep lawn equipment and some personal belongings in. Everything else is for your use!
I do not live locally, however, I am available by the messaging app anytime you need.
The cottage is set on a small private road off of Otisco Valley Road. It is a quarter mile from a local convenience store and a marina where you can dock your boat or rent one for the day!

Great place! It was comfy, convenient, and stocked with plenty amenities! My husband and I stayed a full week for our annual fishing trip to the Finger Lakes and had a fantastic time! We absolutely loved the lake house! Thanks Vicki!
Lovely small home on the lake, fully equipped with anthing you would need and then some. House is set up for best access to enjoy the beach. Vicky made herself available for any questions or concerns we had. Close to apple orchards and winerys. Had a great, relaxing time in a beautiful area
We enjoyed our stay! The cottage was extremely clean, well stocked, and right on the lake. We loved going out on the kayaks and relaxing on the covered patio. It was so fun and relaxing. Would highly recommend!!
The home was exactly as advertised. Vicki was an outstanding host. The lake was beautiful and sunset was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better couple of days away. We hope we can return again.
Our stay was three days of total relaxation for my husband and me. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for cooking dinners. We enjoyed watching sunsets from the back deck.
This lake house has a beautiful view from the deck and the fire pit. The house was comfortable, clean & decorated nicely. The house was exactly what we were hoping for.
The property was perfect for just the two of us. It was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The view was beautiful and so was the weather. The accommodations were very comfortable. We will definitely be returning!! Caught a couple fish too off the dock!!
This is the second property owned by the host Vicki. Both properties were beautiful, clean and very well decorated. The host reached out to us several times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Vicki is an incredible host and we will be staying at her properties in the future. I highly recommend this host and her properties.
Loved the location on a quiet cove, allowing us to float and swim around without worrying too much about passing boats. The house was well stocked with helpful items and was clean. It was a little small, but worked for the 2 of us. The most challenging areas were the bedroom and the bathroom regarding space. The outdoor areas were excellent, including the deck and furniture, and the firepit area. We stayed M-F and there were no neighbors, but the house on the right is pretty close if they were there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thank Vicki for sharing her house.
My son and I stayed at Sunset Lovers Dream Cottage for 3 nights while attending a baseball tournament weekend in Cortland. The drive to and from the fields was only about 30 minutes, making it a perfect location for us.The cottage was exactly what we needed — clean, quiet, comfortable, and nicely tucked away off the beaten path. After long days at the ballpark, it was the perfect place to come back to and relax. The peaceful setting made the whole weekend very enjoyable and stress-free.There are also some great places nearby to eat, which was an added bonus. Overall, we had a very relaxing stay and would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the area.
Great property and accommodations . My group of 4 really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to anyone! Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Thank you again for staying with me! I hope you had a successful fishing trip!
My husband and I are over 60 and this was a perfect spot to get away and relax. All we needed for an easy stay. My husband did a little fishing and I took advantage of the peace and quiet.
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy lake cottage! The location was perfect, and you simply couldn’t beat the beautiful lake view. Our grandkids especially loved paddleboarding and learning to fish — such great memories!The cottage was very comfortable and incredibly well stocked with everything we could possibly need. Bedding, bath and beach towels, paper towels, garbage bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee and filters, seasonings — you name it, Vicki seemed to have thought of it. It made settling in and enjoying our stay so easy.They have made great use of every inch of the cottage. Because of that, some of the spaces, particularly the bedroom and bathroom, are a little tight. Just something to keep in mind if anyone in your group has mobility issues or needs a little extra room to get around.Vicki was very responsive, helpful, and wonderful to work with.One tip for anyone visiting around the same time we did (August 31–September 4): quite a few of the nearby restaurants were closed during the week, so I would recommend shopping ahead or being prepared to drive a little farther for meals. We really enjoyed Vesper Hills, and Tim’s Pumpkin Patch was a fun outing with the grandkids. The onsite brewery there was a nice bonus for the adults!Overall, it was a relaxing stay in a beautiful setting and a wonderful place to enjoy time together as a family.
I am a mother 5 children. Our three oldest are all working in their various professions of accounting, software development and veterinary technician. Our two youngest sons are 14 and 11 and living their best lives in our new home in FL! My husband and I love to travel and explore new areas. The short-term rental community has been a great way to get to know new areas on a local level and I hope to bring the same feeling to my guests.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this lake house because of it's location in a quiet cove, the level ground that allows you to just walk right out to the water and of course, the beautiful interior. The surrounding area is also beautiful with rolling hills and farmland. On and off the water, we feel a sense of peace.
