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.

Long weekend

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.

Great family vacation on Owasco Lake!

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.

Worked well for our large family

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.

Wonderful Lake House!

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!

Exceptional House for a Getaway

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.

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.

Paradise

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.

Hosts and Property Fantastic

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!

Owasco lake getaway

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!
