What a nice, peaceful place for a family getaway! Owasco Lake is one of the more undiscovered finger lakes, so if it's a little R&R you are looking for, this is the spot. New central air so no worries about being uncomfortable on those hot summer nights.... We also recently finished a large remodel to the first floor living area and kitchen. It is now one big open floor plan with fabulous views of the lake! The cottage now has new cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and all new appliances. There is a bedroom and full bath on the first floor and three small bedrooms and a half bath upstairs. The lakefront here is very clean and great for swimming and water activities, not to mention the excellent fishing! Use the two kayaks on site, rowboat, fish off the dock, bring your own boat or rent a motorboat from a nearby marina. You are sure to catch perch, bass, pike, trout, and maybe some walleye. The level beachfront, along with a gradual walk into the water, make this property perfect for people of all ages! This early 1900's cottage has had new flooring installed throughout and has updated baths. Brand new couches and all new high quality mattresses in 2019. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the lake from anywhere on the first floor or lounge on the spacious lakeside deck with comfy dining and patio furniture. Sit back, relax and watch the kids and family enjoy the water right from the deck. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - No elevator - Smooth flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - Next to a golf course - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Farming classes - Golf - Kayak - Pickleball - Tennis - Water sports equipment - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - At least 80% organic food - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Farming classes - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Unit size: 1,100 square feet - Vegetarian dining options - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33574300/33574213/08fcf09e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ON LAKE: Private Beach, Central Air, Kayaks, Sunsets,Boat Dock & Clean Swimming!

Apr 12, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Property left much to be desired Property was thoughtfully stocked and host responds very quickly to messages. However, the entire house needs a deep clean. The sofa and pillows stunk terribly. The rooms are small, which was fine, but the ceiling was collapsing down in some of them. Overall, property is in a beautiful location but pictures do not accurately portray all of it. ##### Jackie M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jon W. Oct 25, 2020 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Not as represented The house is liveable, but definitely not what is represented on line. The house is very old, and everything is very cheap and flimsy. The kitchen cabinets need to be replaced, or at the very least, repaired and painted. One of the drawers is not supported when opened, making is a difficult task to remove anything from the drawer. All of the utensils are old, cheap, and worn. They should all be replaced. The house was not stocked with the usual items such as soap, shampoo, and paper products. The price is much too high for the quality (or lack of quality) of the amenities. I think the property should be represented more accurately, so there are no surprises when you arrive. ##### Jon W. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Greg B. Oct 21, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Filthy Unsafe & Totally Inaccurate Description of Property We reviewed the photos and reviews of this property and were looking forward to checking in and enjoying a few days of vacation. Our arrival and check in consisted of entering an unlocked open cottage and being assaulted with what smelled like a curious mixture of mold and mice feces. We were dismayed by the dilapidated condition of this cottage. Our photos are very different than the photos that were presented on the VRBO webpage. We will include them so that all can see what we saw. Within minutes of arriving, wife began getting watery eyes, itchy skin and difficulty breathing. We immediately began looking for a clean hotel to check into for the night. We were unable to endure the mold and filth for more than an hour so we finished our search in our car. Besides the pervasive odor of mold, some of the highlights of our experience related to this filthy unsafe “cottage” were noting that the furnace with visible open flame was inches away from a highly flammable curtain serving in the place of what should have been a fire block or door. The Circuit breaker box had appeared to be old spaghetti painted over wiring emanating from and haphazardly stuffed into an old ceiling material. The stairs upstairs were narrow, uneaten, filthy, and certainly not up to code. The dock was uneven unstable and unsafe. The back deck was filthy and filled with old wet leaves. The upstairs had multiple unsafe uneven flooring variations that are obvious trip hazards. ##### Greg B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda C.

From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a sense of peace and tranquility that made my getaway truly special. The property was impeccably clean and it felt like a home away from home. The attention to detail was evident—from the sparkling kitchen to the cozy living spaces. It was clear that the owners take great pride in maintaining the property. One of the highlights was the stunning view of the lake. I spent my mornings sipping coffee on the deck, watching the sunrise. The serene surroundings made it easy to unwind and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I took advantage of the kayaks available on-site, gliding across the water and soaking in the breathtaking scenery. There were also lovely walking trails nearby, ideal for leisurely strolls or invigorating hikes. We also enjoyed wine tastings in the area and a trip to Fort Ontario. In summary, this lake house is a sanctuary for anyone seeking a clean, peaceful escape. Whether you’re looking to recharge or enjoy some outdoor adventures, this property is a wonderful choice. I left feeling rejuvenated and eager to return! ##### Katie B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris C.

We loved the way it was decorated! It had a large deck with patio furniture, full size grill and a long table for outdoor dining. It was a few short steps to the water and dock which were only slightly lower than the grassy area. (No steep inclines or steps!) It had one bedroom and bathroom in the ground level and other bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom with toilet and sink. The kitchen was large enough for us to cook several full meals, the appliances, counter and kitchen table were all very nice. It had all the cookware and serving ware we needed and we prepared several full meals while there. The living room had comfortable furniture that would seat 7+ people. The AC and heat worked well. There was a wood fire area near the water and we used that several times. We launched our boat from the boat launch on the north side of the lake then docked it at the house. I highly recommend taking a boat trip down the canal as it was beautiful and the so was the park area around it. On rainier days, we took a trip to Skaneateles and toured some of the small shops and restaurants. On another rainy day, we drove all the way around Cayuga lake, stopping to do some wine tasting at some lovely wineries. The owner of this property responded to our inquiries and provided a lot of great information. We could be more pleased with our vacation there. ##### S F.

The house is older and quirky, but extremely clean and high quality sheets. I do agree with some of the other reviews that the upstairs could be hard for elderly people to access.

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Laurie G., Seattle, WA Oct 4, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Quirky lakefront home Our family congregated here for my son's college graduation from Cornell (a very long drive from Ithaca but we wanted a well-appointed kitchen, expansive view, and relaxed vibe). Grandparents ended up not being able to attend which was good since the narrow, steep stairwell to the upper level was very difficult to manage and would be dangerous for anyone over 50 (we had the kids stay in the upper level). The bedrooms were very small, and the largest one downstairs where we slept required leaving the room from one door and entering the opposite door to get to the other side of the bed since the bed went from wall to wall. The kitchen was well-appointed for our small group and the living room was comfortable for gathering. The ceilings were quite low and had water damage in areas which was unfortunate, but overall the property was fairly charming. We were disappointed the patio from where we imagined enjoying the lake view was not cleaned prior to our arrival. It was covered with yard debris (which I understand may not be controlled) and so much bird poop that it was impossible to find an area to sit on and difficult even to walk in bare feet to access the yard. That being said, we did enjoy our time but felt some maintenance was overdue. ##### Laurie G.

Convenient location close to town but in a very quiet location. Cottage is clean and host was great to work with. We’ll be back!! ##### Linda B.

The location was great. Exactly as pictured on the VRBO site. Lovely open concept living and kitchen area. Very clean and well stocked. Comfy cute bedrooms. Nice deck and yard with plenty of shade or sun. Nice quiet beach area with a lovely view of the sunrise and daily visits from the ducks on the lake. We enjoyed the fire pit, the kayaks, grilling and hanging out on the deck or on the comfortable furniture in the living room. Would definitely come back. ##### Kathleen and William B.

Fun, relaxing, beautiful view! We had a group ages 19-79 and everyone loved it and had a great time! Wether it’s watching the osprey cruise over the lake in search of fish or just sitting enjoying a glass of wine watching the beautiful sunset, this place is a peaceful get away from everyday life stress! The yard is flat, so easy access to the lake. We enjoyed using the kayaks (life jackets of all sizes available) and swimming near the dock. The fire pit is relaxing to sit around, make s’mores and star gaze. The deck on the house is large, has a nice grill and plenty of seating. We had family dinners here and just hung out talking, enjoying the view! The inside of the home has been remodeled and it’s gorgeous! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you can imagine. The living room furniture is very comfy. We enjoyed playing chess, watching Netflix and experiencing a big lightning storm roll in over the lake one night, very cool! The bedrooms are comfy and nicely decorated. We were there during a ‘heat warning’ and the central air worked fantastic! So glad they had that! Last but not least, our host Christine was fabulous! She checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a great property right on the shores of beautiful Owasco Lake to enjoy family & friends, or just a quiet get get away, book this place! You’ll love it! ##### Carla B.

Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Cute little Finger Lakes lake house We had an enjoyable week with my family and my sister July 2022. This little lake house is a classic Finger Lakes lake house that has a renovated kitchen and living room. Pros: modern kitchen with all the amenities to cook meals for a vacation stay at the lake. The WiFi is strong and up to date. The living room has two comfortable new couches and armchair. Cons: The downstairs bathtub needs updating but the water pressure is great. There is a Mildred smell and the upstairs driveway facing bedroom we couldn’t use because of the mildew smell. There is evidence of water damage from roof leaks in the bedrooms The upstairs is teeny with low ceilings. If you’re taller than 5’7” you’ll have to stoop to avoid hitting your head on eves and some beams. The linens supplied were excellent, however the beds could use some updating. The beach has extensive lake grass for a long way out from shore so we were not able to swim from the shore. There is a dock but it’s rickety and I wouldn’t tie up a boat to it. There are kayaks in decent shape available. Overall, if you are used to older Finger Lakes lake houses this place was clean and decent with some items that could be improved on the property. The owner is very responsive and nice. ##### Karen U. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan C.
