The cottage was adorable and tastefully furnished. Great living space indoors, out on the porch, and by the lake. Had a hiccup on arrival that was remediated by fast responsiveness with the owner. The area was also my favorite of all the lakes explored. You are within 15-20” of everything. I will definitely be recommending this cottage to friends and family! ##### Lisa F.

Property is right on the east side of the lake, water is crystal clear and sunsets are amazing. Where the property sits is almost in a cove with a rock bottom in about 4 feet of calm water. The cottage was as advertised, ample space for the people we had. It was clean and welcoming. The kayaks were an added bonus!! ##### Ryan B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard W. 25 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Have spent many falls in the Figer Lakes area, but first time on Owasco. Have always had a great experience with VRBO rentals and this was no exception. Great property and location. John was a great owner/host, checking in with us shortly after we arrived. He answered the few questions I had immediately and was always available. Check-in was a breeze. The property itself is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. Quiet, and directly on the lake. The backyard, with full lawn down to the lake, was fantastic. A huge paver patio at waters edge with firepit, dining table and Adirondack chairs is the showpiece of the yard. Enjoyed coffee every morning down by the lake or out on the covered porch (another favorite of mine). An added plus if you are travelling with dogs (we had a 5-yr old German Shepherd with us) is that the back yard is almost completely fenced with a small open area on the front driveway side. The house was super clean and had everything we needed for cooking dinners and just plain relaxing. The house is equipped with 4 heating/cooling units that worked really well and only needed to use two for heating in late October (nights were in the 40s). We love the Finger Lakes in the fall so a little cold to enjoy lake activities, but a great central location for our daily local hikes and visiting family in Rochester. Highly recommend. ##### Richard W. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea B. 5 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### All the stars! This was the perfect place for a summer getaway! The house had plenty of room for the two of us, our adult children, and 2 dogs. We greatly appreciated the wall A/C units, as the weather was quite warm while we were there. However, we spent most of our time outside enjoying the water, the views, the fire pit, and the patio. We brought fishing poles - the fishing was great off the end of the dock! If you want to walk into the lake from shore, you probably want some sort of footwear, as it’s a bit rocky right by the edge. However, you don’t need them if you walk in from the steps on the dock, as the bottom is much softer there. Our host, John, was great - very responsive to the couple of questions we had and even mailed us an item we left behind by mistake. Very relaxing getaway cottage on a quiet and peaceful stretch of the lake. Would come back again! ##### Andrea B.

We had all sorts of plans for excursions in the area but we ended up never leaving the house. With our boat and a perfect spot on the lake, we didn’t need anything else. John had great communication. Check-in was easy and house was well stocked with linens. We were sad to leave. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4a8965c8-aa08-4a25-af0d-214a3a8fc67d-1755357281172.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/57e82498-497c-45d5-9f19-c9c7100b19ac-1755357278530.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/deb032d7-e0a0-44e8-b217-f5d86aa6a7d7-1755357279289.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61db2fd7-28ec-4795-9408-e328368c5530-1755357274817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sam C.

We stayed at John’s place for 6 nights in June and had nothing short of an incredible experience with so many memories to look back on. The house itself is beautifully and simply decorated in a fun nautical theme that really makes you feel like you are on a lake escape! The space was ample for two families with small children and we all felt very comfortable. We would recommend bringing a baby gate or two for any little ones still learning to climb stairs. The yard calls for yard games and creates a perfect playground for kids and adults alike! The rocky beach is perfect for exploration; you will want to spend every minute on the patio or at the waters edge! John was a wonderful host and very easy to communicate with. We just can’t say enough about this incredible property and hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we did! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/112de10a-4c31-4bed-b349-350b8dcceef7-1750462179408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40f4e34a-6419-426b-872a-3b0ffb5f3476-1750462179077.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/626a8404-96ea-475e-9e75-f349d0889c53-1750462178773.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julie V.
