The house was outstanding, with excellent amenities that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Its location was peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to Skaneateles and other Finger Lakes destinations to make exploring easy and convenient. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
This home is beautiful! Stocked with absolutely everything you could possibly need. The lake setting is gorgeous and Heidi and Chris are awesome hosts! We would for sure stay here again!
Excellent space for our group of teens, parents and grandparents. Spacious and beautiful with tons of water sport options.
Heidi and Chris were greet hosts.
Everything was as described and more. Incredible setting and comfortable accommodations. Beautiful yet functional and conducive to both relaxation and family fun.
The house is open & airy, everything was just as described. the view makes staying here so worth it! We ate meals looking out at the lake The hot tub and sauna were a wonderful bonus. Our hosts Chris & Heidi were super helpful & helpful. We’ll b back!
Property is peaceful and plenty of space inside and outside for our group to do things together or spread out. Used the paddle board, kayaks and tubes provided. Nice to have an outdoor grill for summertime meals! Property gets lots of sun in the afternoon on the deck, nice fire pit area for the evening. We appreciated the s'more makings, fruit and flowers that welcomed us on arrival.
The house was beautiful and had everything and more that we needed. The beds were very comfortable and my big kids loved the bunk house. The outside area had lots of seating for family visits and relaxing. The best VRBO my family has ever stayed on in the finger lakes.
Can’t wait to book this house for next summer.
This beautiful property had everything we needed to do fun activities as well as relax. The kayaks and paddleboards were used every day as well as fishing from the dock. We enjoy preparing meals together and the kitchen had all the cookware and dishes we needed. Wonderful family memories were made!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful vacation home on Owasco Lake. The house is very clean and well-organized, nicely decorated, and thoughtfully appointed with all the necessities. We especially enjoyed the large dock - perfect for swimming, boating, and fishing - and lakeside fire pit with plenty of chairs. Communication with the host was outstanding from start to finish, too.
Very well stocked. Kayaks, a canoe, paddles, lots of life vests, kitchen with all the needed stuff, outdoor BBQ, etc. etc. Found it comfortable and convenient for our group of 12 (8 adults and 4 grandchildren under 3). Able to rent a boat and use the dock. Lots of outdoor bon fires with plenty of seating. Overall a very nice stay. Thx.
The house was just as described. Well kept in a wonderful location with great amenities. We cooked a great deal and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved the deck and fire pit and the little bunk house was great and allowed everyone to spread out and have their own space. We used the paddle boards and kayaks a lot but one kayak did have a leak in it so could use a new one. Host were communicative and easy to reach. Will stay there again!
Heidi and Chris’s place was more then perfect for our family vacation. They were very responsive and accommodating. It was fully stocked with all the little things you forget to bring. Which was a huge plus! Not to mention, the home was very clean, comfortable and the landscaping is gorgeous. You will not be disappointed. We hope to visit again soon
I can’t express enough how great the house is. Quiet and private road, with an amazing view. The house has all the bells and whistles, and the property owners (Chris and Heidi) are beyond accommodating. Thanks again for having us! See you again next year!
This house is everything we expected it to be in more. The owners were very attentive, and provided much more than just a house for the weekend. Everything was clean, I would even say, spotless. The owners replied to any questions we had within five minutes. I would highly recommend this house for anyone for your family or friends get away.
This charming house was perfect for our family stay. We had 7 adults ranging from 40-78 and two children under 12, and there was something for everyone to do on the property! It was well-appointed, well outfitted and everything seemed so thoughtfully done. We made use of the sauna, hot tub, paddle boards, and kayaks. We brought our little sailboat with us and got it in the water at the house. It was a fantastic stay, and we certainly hope to make it back. Everyone agreed that it was fantastic.
This house was everything as described and more. Communication with Heidi prior to arrival was excellent. Upon arrival, we could tell this house was going to exceed our expectations. House was well stocked with extra touches. Plenty of room for the 8 of us and never felt like we were on top of each other. The views are spectacular and the amenities were well thought of for all age groups. Highly recommend this home for a weekend away with no worries.
The house and location are unmatched. Communication with Chris and Heidi ahead of the trip was seamless and the check-in process was simple. This house has everything you need and more. The dock is huge, sauna and hot tub clean and amazing, and the house very tasteful and well kept. After a massive storm that knocked out the power for a few hours, Chris was attentive and helpful. We love this house!
If I could rate this beautiful home a 10/10 I would, everything was picture perfect! The little touches, fresh flowers, fruit, bottled water, wood and everything we needed to have s’mores by the fire were perfect additions. The house was spotless, beds were comfortable, the hot tub was a bonus. Heidi and Chris were wonderful hosts and always answered any questions I had, immediately. I would highly recommend this perfect escape, the fall views were incredible too! We will most certainly be back.
We had a wonderful family vacation at the lakeside luxury house! It was spotless and had everything we needed. It was well supplied beyond our expectations including towels, soaps and personal items. The outdoor amenities were great! Plenty of outdoor seating in a quiet area of the lake! We got alot of use out of the kayaks, SUP, and canoe! Plus it is only minutes from Auburn or Skaneateles! The house is tastefully decorated and we all appreciated the welcoming touches, flowers, fruit salad, s’mores, fresh orange juice, water, and ice! By far this was the best lakeside rental we have stayed as a family!
First of all the property was meticulous with lots of wonderful touches, flowers, ingredients for s’mores and immaculate. Two days into the vacation, unfortunately there was a hiccup. The refrigerator broke down, and not an old one.An unexpected surprise, but Chris and Heidi handled it promptly and we used coolers with ice for a day, which they provided until they brought us a fridge to use until they were able to replace the one that quit. When staying at this property not only is the lake beautiful the location great, but best of all you can count on the very responsive hosts. Maybe the best part!
