This is such a private, peaceful property. It is a comfortable place with the most wonderful porches and decks with lots of chairs and couches. It was great for visiting with family and cooking meals on the grill.

Beautiful Cabin

Recently stayed with my family and enjoyed our time. The house was beautiful and very clean. The wrap around porch was great for the kids. We rented a pontoon for the day and conveniently docked it for a lunch break! We sat out by the fire pit in the backyard every evening. The lake is a very short walk from the house. The beach area is rocky, but other than that was as described. It was a very relaxing, peaceful getaway!

Great Destination

Very nice home in a good location for a quiet vacation. Be careful if you are traveling with a larger boat. The driveway is not friendly for large pull behinds.

Good lake space

Very easy, glad that was pet friendly during these close family times, great space to spread out full basement level and main entertainment level, make sure you bring everything to lake as you don’t want to walk uphill/down again each time you need something, overall very good

Beautiful log home!

Beautiful house! Private location surrounded by woods. There was a huge wrap around porch with a lot of lawn furniture.The lake was breathtaking! Quiet and peaceful. Just the right amount of lake access! Paddle boards and a kayak were available to use! We had enough room to dock our pontoon boat that we rented! We fished and swam right of the dock! Downstairs we played pool and ping pong .This was truly a beautiful perfect vacation place!

Well-stocked Cabin

We headed upstate for a few days to celebrate the New Year and my MIL's birthday. Kitchen was very well stocked - we managed to cook a very good dinner from scratch one night! The basement had games to play and the lake is beautiful (rock beaches, so wear actual shoes). Checking in was super easy. Good grocery stores in Auburn. My only complaint is that there were other nearby properties, but we were the only ones there so we didn't have to worry about it. A great long weekend, overall!

BEAUTIFUL LAKE RENTAL

Beautiful property inside and out. The home was clean, stocked better than any rental we have been in, and we rent frequently and had dozens of board games and options for the kids when they needed a break from lake life. The walk to the dock is beautiful thanks to the neighbors gorgeous flowers and everyone was friendly. The only thing to note was there are not televisions in any bedroom. To our family that wasn't a negative. Overall will look to book the property again or refer it to our family and friends.

Beautiful Owasco Lake Property

My family enjoyed a seven night stay at Nick’s property. Beautiful views of Owasco Lake were only a short walk down from the main porch. We were greeted by Jack, the local cat from a nearby lakehouse, most evenings. The property offered close driving proximity to Auburn, Skaneateles, and other Finger Lakes Region locales. Do be careful with the hardwood floors, particularly the stairs leading to the master bedroom (I had a slip and fall while in socks). Additionally, uneven terrain around the cabin and deck could be difficult for young and elderly guests. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and Nick was very quick to respond to questions regarding check-in and check-out through the app. Thank you for hosting us!

Just Like We Remembered

We stayed at this house in 2014 on our first family trip to the Finger Lakes area. We had such a great time, we decided to return and we created more great memories. The cabin is old and rustic but clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. We had two married couples in the main floor bedrooms, my aged father in the upstairs master bedroom, two teenage boys in the basement, and a tween daughter on the couch in the great room (main floor). We enjoyed playing on the lake and we used the cabin as our base for visiting other locations such as the historical sites of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Sacred Grove, Hill Cumorah, Whitmer Farm, Grandin Press), Watkins Glen, and the Strong Museum of Play. It does take an hour to 90 minutes to reach these locations but the drive is worth it to stay right on Owasco Lake in the beautiful, tranquil setting. One evening, I simply sat in a lawn chair around dusk and waited for birds and critters to come out. I saw a woodpecker, other birds, a squirrel, and a rabbit. You cannot beat the peace and quiet. We also roasted hotdogs one night over the fire pit. The host was easy to contact and responsive. Mainly, we wanted to know checkout procedures, which were minimal. Overall, I recommend the cabin and we may return again some day.

Heaven Above the Lake

Three friends were there for a reunion had the luxury of our own comfortable bedrooms. The peace and quiet of the lake woods and amazingly beautiful home made for a grand time together. There are a lot of stairs and slate walkways which may not be the best for much older renters, but we especially enjoyed the open feeling and views in the A frame and the ambience of the huge fireplace. There is a complete kitchen with everything you need - you could happily hide away above Lake Owasco and enjoy the Fall leaves and lake view, even if it is too cold to swim!

beautiful home, well-stocked, great views and access to lake; great basement for teens

Our only disappointment was the fireplace was not working, and we were so looking forward to sitting in front of that huge stone fireplace with a nice fire. Otherwise, everything was great.

Quiet Beautiful Lake House

This is our third time renting this property, now under new management. The house is beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. It is at the end of a fire lane, so it is secluded, quiet, and serene. We highly recommend this property and will definitely choose to stay there again!

The stay was great and the house had all the items listed. Wish we were able to used the lake front, the weather was fine but the temperatures were more Fall then Summer. The area had some great hiking trails and wineries within a short drive.

Beautiful home with all the amenities

It was great to vacation with our college age children. The house is beautiful, clean and had all we could possibly need: lake front access with kayaks, paddle boards; big open kitchen/family room w/t.v. Large outdoor deck and grill, game room basement with pool table and ping pong. We rented a party boat near by and enjoyed exploring and swimming in the lake from end to end. The city of Auburn is a short drive and is a beautiful old city with great well preserved architecture, interesting museums about the history of the suffragette movement and the abolitionist movement (Harriet Tubman House). Also toured the Steward House ( President Lincoln's Secretary of State). All very interesting. The owners were very accommodating, friendly and easy to communicate with if needed. Highly recommend it.

Lovely place!

Our family had a great time! I never thought about this but the wrap-around porch was soooo nice! The uncovered front porch had a small view of the water but a speculator view of the stars. With the covered-side porch offering a shaded, outside area. The owner did think of everything to make the place fun. On the outside porch, a gate was provided which allowed a toddler to bike around with one of the abundant toys found in the house. Mostly we cooked but towards the end of the trip, we ventured out and found some great food! Of course the Tom Thumb ice cream shop was delicious and what a view! Also, had a miniature course that was fun and very challenging! Great house and fun memories!!
