Victoria our host was amazing and super attentive. I had several questions about the house and the area prior to our trip and she was so helpful and her replies were always prompt. The house was beautiful and very clean when we arrived. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to enjoy the festivities for my daughter’s bachelorette party!
Had a great time at the lake house! Kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to cook a meal for a big group! Everyone had a great time out on the water and relaxing on the back deck. Owner was very responsive with answers to quick questions!
We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the spacious property. Despite the rains each day, we were able to enjoy the outdoors including the firepit and covered deck in the morning and evenings. Great local recommendations by Victoria. The property being quite close to the charming town of Skaneateles was a treat as we visited it a few times.
Our stay was perfect! It was so lovely to wake up every morning to the lake. It was quiet and peaceful. There is a fabulous town called Skaneateles that is 10 minutes away - it had great restaurants and shops, wine store- it was a really beautiful town on the lake.
Overall wonderful stay!
Exactly as described, very comfortable and inviting home. Made use of the SUP, and the rowboat thank you! We would definitely recommend to others. Thanks :)
We enjoyed our stay on the lake. We really appreciated having the kayaks. With the ones we brought, it allowed our whole family to go out on the lake at once. The house is right off a main road, which I didn't realize. It made getting all our stuff into the house super easy. No long staircase to manage!
We had a great stay at the lake house. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. We took advantage of the water craft that was available to us and explored the north end of the lake in the kayaks, rowboat and paddle board. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for cooking/dining at the house. It was a great location for exploring the area around the Finger Lakes and we enjoyed driving through the countryside and were able to visit some amazingly beautiful waterfalls in the area. Highly recommend.
“Meet me at the Lake” was a great place for my 2 adult children, my husband, mother-in-law, & me to share some “family fun time.” The huge back deck which is partially covered gave us a place to hang out, talk, & eat together. We enjoyed the lawn games, kayaks, & fire pit. The view was nice & relaxing, especially in the early morning or at sunset.My only reason for 4 stars & not 5 is the tight bathrooms (although the master shower is quite big.) Also, the house A/C is not great. The weather only reached 80 on one day & the bedrooms were a little warm. (I’m pretty hot natured so take that into consideration.)The owner was great with communication, the check in/out process, recommendations for local favorites, & responded quickly to questions. We would definitely stay again, but would avoid summer. :)
Our visit was perfect! The house was very comfortable, and the lawn and porch were perfect to spend most of our time outside and for our kids to run around/be in the lake. It was great to have so many ways to enjoy the lake with kayaks, paddleboards, etc. Victoria was super helpful and so responsive to any question. Highly recommend this property!
It was the perfect spot for our October family gathering. Unfortunately, the lake was on the dry side so those who kayak were a bit disappointed. No fault of the host. The rooms were spacious and spotless. Highly recommend!
The house was great, the photos gave the illusion there were four bedrooms but it was listed as 3 so that was a little confusing. The bedrooms were all great , 3 full bathrooms made it easy for us to get ready for our family wedding in the area. The deck and many chairs in the yard were perfect for us all to hang out and have our hotel staying relatives to come sit with us and watch the kids play on the kayaks and paddle boards. It was a beautiful location and super hosts who were so helpful!
The lake house was very nice and spacious! The air conditioning doesn’t cool all the rooms in the house. The dock was great and the view was beautiful!
Clean well maintained. Just right for 6 little ones. Only negative was that a washing machine and dryer was listed as being available However they were locked in the garage. With the little ones they were definitely needed
House was very clean and easy to access. Beds very comfortable. Owner very responsive to question about heat. Wish there was more living room furniture for group watching movies.
The house was obviously built with quality in mind. It was perfect for our extended family. The 3 full bathrooms had been recently renovated, the beds were comfy, the porch cozy - even on a rainy day, kitchen very well equipped and the lakeside fire pit offered memorable evenings under the stars.
We stayed at this property during SU alumni weekend with some other SU parents since all the hotels were booked up. This place ended up being the perfect place for us to relax and hang out together after a long day. It was clean and quiet and had all the amenities needed. The check in/ check out process was easy. The property owner was informative and easy to communicate with. We would definitely rent here again.
My family stayed at this beautiful lake house during the weekend of the ND vs. SU football game. The house had plenty of room for the 12 of us. The gorgeous views of the mist on the lake greeted us each morning. We enjoyed the lake view while sitting outside on the deck while our kids played outside in the spacious yard. A fabulous time had by all!
The deck area was wonderful. Disappointed with lake. Bedrooms need nicer furniture however beds were very comfortable. Could use more seating in living room. House was very clean and the windows were amazing. Beautiful dining room and well equipped kitchen.
Victoria was a fantastic host. The property was perfectly decorated, clean, and stocked with everything one might need. We had such a lovely time on the lake kayaking, fishing, and rowing. Coffee on the porch and fires at night were highlights for sure. Victoria was responsive throughout our stay and provided us with fantastic dinner and activity recommendations. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing comfortable vacation. Thank you!
The place was perfect for our family. The renters clearly understand what it takes to rent a property. The took care of the big and small stuff, to make our stay enjoyable. The inside has been newly renovated. The outside lawn area, and porch are our favorite amenities.
The property is on the far north side of the lake. This area gets alot of weed that makes swimming less than optimal. This is a common problem on otisco. For us, the trade off being a nice flat back yard area, was worth it.

We had a good time at this property. It was a good layout for our three couples, providing plenty of privacy for all. The deck area is where we lived for the week. The covered deck space was fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room table was perfect for our family meals.
We have stayed on Skaneateles and prefer that lake because the water is much more accessible for kayaking and fishing. The weeds on this section of the lake make it difficult (not impossible) for most water sport activities. The absence of water at the property's dock made launching and using our kayaks a bit of a slog. But if you simply want to enjoy water views and read a good book, this property is perfect for that.
