About this property

Level Beach, Dock, Central Air, New Kitchen, Fantastic Views, Rowboat & Kayaks!

  • 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.

Hidden Gem of Tranquility

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming lake house, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. 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!

Lovely vacation house on Owasco Lake

My boyfriend, sister and brother-in-law rented this lovely home on the shore of Owasco Lake. 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.

Loved the location

We had a great stay at this house. 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. The stairs were very sturdy, but narrow. Then once upstairs you have to step down into 2 of the bedrooms.

A very nice and comfortable four day stay at Lake Owasco

All our questions and concerns about the property and pier were answered prior to booking by Ms. Izzo. We found out all answers we were given were accurate. We spent a very comfortable four days in a fully equipped house. All appliances worked properly. Bedding and furniture were very clean and comfortable. The gas grill which we used also worked.

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.

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.
