We had 5 adults and two young children staying at the house and we were very comfortable. For being an older home it was very clean and open which worked well when we had company over to visit. The kitchen was stocked with all our cooking needs. The yard is a very nice size and the sunsets were absolutely beautiful. The lower deck by the lake was a perfect spot to sit and relax. The owners were very attentive and responsive when we were making our plans. ##### Sally M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John M. Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfect vacation getaway My husband and I are originally from Auburn, however, we haven't lived in NY for over 40 years; we live in South Florida. We have visited occasionally for a couple days and enjoyed everything the area offers. This time, we decided on an extended stay so we could have our Canadian snowbird friends experience the Finger Lakes. Christine's cottage was perfect for 3 adult couples. Honestly, having only one shower was not a problem. Taking turns was seamless. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for our quick small snacks and leisurely dinners- there was everything and anything you needed. The beds were comfortable, the rooms clean, sheets and towels plentiful. We would absolutely return...we left very rested and relaxed after spending days exploring wineries, waterfalls, lakes, and historical sites. Christine messaged frequently to see if we needed anything, but we had no requests! Check in and check out instructions were clear and easy. If we had anything at all to suggest, it would be that the cottage interior could use a paint touch up. However, that would not change anything about the comfort or cleanliness. Thank you Christine! 5 stars all the way...we may see you again one day! ##### John M. Stayed 17 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Dec 15, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Needs attention to detail; a thorough cleaning; and updating To start with the positive, the location is nice, there is a great view, and the owner was responsive to a leaking toilet. But, overall we were very disappointed with the home. Though it was “surface clean”, the house needs a thorough, deep clean, including washing all blankets and comforters which smelled musty. I know it is an older home, but there is a hodgepodge of electrical cords and the electric flickered anytime more than a couple lights and an appliance we’re in use simultaneously. There are THREE thermostats, an electric heater (which did not look safe to try), and a non working fireplace. Only one thermostat actually controls the heat and all the heat goes upstairs leaving the downstairs too cold. There were holes in the walls and the whole inside needs a fresh coat of paint. The kitchen! I somehow managed to cook thanksgiving dinner, but it was a challenge made possible by buying a few disposable baking pans. It would be nice, and in-line with my other VRBO experiences, to have a good set of pots/pans, mixing bowls, and cooking utensils. Additionally, The kitchen is poorly organized and one drawer barely opens. The knives were not sharp and there are no scissors. The bedrooms need better blinds and curtains. The front bedroom has only sheer curtains which afford little privacy. The owner should take a couple weeks’ rent and invest it in some changes that would really improve the house and encourage return renters. I don’t feel I got my money’s worth and would not return. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles M. Aug 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great Potential but not up to standards First, I’d like to say that Christine, the property manager, was excellent – responsive and helpful. The property was as listed but several things could have been improved upon and were less that top notch. The towels and linens were old and thin. The lower deck was very nice but the railings on the stairs and lower deck were rickety. There was a laminated warning sign on the upstairs tub about how to gently use the handle as it was very easy to break. There were no games, books or entertainment things for the guest to use. The bushes and trees at the end of the yard were overgrown and greatly restricted what would have been a lovely view of the lake. Some other things to be aware of - there is a dock but the water is very shallow (1.5 ft. when we were there) and not deep enough to park a pontoon boat without great difficulty and risk of damaging the propellor. The spa tub is difficult to get in and out of and there is no curtain if you were using the hand sprayer as a shower. The bed in the one bedroom is a double (not a queen) which is something we missed in the listing. And overall, the mattresses had seen better days. All that said we had a very enjoyable time. Owasco Lake is lovely and not very busy. The home was comfortable and with most everything in working order. We were only 5 minutes from a great ice cream place (Tom Thumbs) and the towns of Auburn and Skaneateles were close with shops, restaurants and small museums to visit. The only other comment about the location is that the home is not close to many of the wineries in the Finger Lakes. Anyela’s Vineyards which was very good is 15-20 minutes away but it is a 45-minute drive to most of the rest. ##### Charles M.
