We had stayed on Seneca and Keuka Lakes in the past, and I'm glad we tried Owasco this time. Auburn, a good-sized town with lots of amenities, was a a very short drive. ##### Kristen Z.

Wonderful/responsive hosts. We loved the house and location. We especially enjoyed the deck, overlooking the lake, from early morning to beautiful sunsets to star-gazing. Easy access to lake to swim, float or paddle. We were able to host family who live in the area. Our 13yo dog had a great tine exploring too.

We loved this VRBO. Our family just spent four nights at the cottage. It's beautiful. Perfect location. Close to town, but also a serene setting on the lake. The deck off the living room is the perfect place to relax with friends and family. The docks for water access are great. And we loved the gated, fenced deck area so the dog could hang out with us without worry. Comfortable beds, nice bathroom and a large kitchen with everything you need. The hosts were so nice and answered all our questions. We would be more than happy to visit again. ##### Nancy H A.

This was our first time with our Labrador, Molly. Mike's and Karen's rental home was a perfect fit for our late summer vacation. The views from the house were spectacular with picturesque sunsets. Molly would go swimming many times during the day in the crystal clear lake. She loved chasing the ducks. The owner are very much dog friendly. They even invited our dog into their home. The beach road is a good place to walk your pet. This rental home is within reasonable driving distances to many of the popular sites in the area. You can't go wrong by renting this property. ##### John H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen T. 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful cottage Our family of 5 and our dog loved our stay here. The large patio overlooking the water with plentiful seating was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, the sunsets, lounging/reading, and outside dining. The spacious waterfront/docks and floating dock enabled us to enjoy lots of fishing and swimming, and our dog absolutely loved the water and being out on the docks and patio with us. The multiple kayaks, paddle boards, and life vests that were provided for our use was also one of the reasons that attracted us to this booking. The house was plenty big with the loft being a great space for our 3 kids. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the living area had ample comfortable seating to relax in the evenings. Most of all, the house was impeccable clean when we arrived. Mike was incredibly easy to communicate with and checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going ok, and was flexible with our check-in time which was greatly appreciated. The house itself is in a great location on the east side of the lake with easy access into Auburn or exploring other lakes and towns. We had a wonderful lake vacation and would definitely rent this cottage again. ##### Colleen T.

It’s quickly become a place that’s turned into a summer tradition. We have a blast playing with the rafts, water noodles, and paddle boards that are available for use at the house. We like the property not only because of the cottage itself, but because of its location. Each day we ventured somewhere within 20 minutes, whether it be downtown Auburn, Aurora, or Skaneateles. We also discovered Emerson park, which is gorgeous, perfect for bike riding/walking/ jogging, and only about 5 minutes away. Mike, as always, was an excellent host and communicator, wanting to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We highly recommend this property and hope to come back for years to come! ##### Julia B.

It had everything we needed and then some. The hosts were so nice and went above and beyond to greet us and make sure we were comfortable. We would definitely like to stay here again! ##### Paula N.

This location raises the bar and sets a clear standard for relaxing vacations. The owners were very easy to communicate with and replied promptly to any questions we had. Our dog was very comfortable with the owner's dogs and really enjoyed wandering the property. We will certainly be looking at this property for vacations in the years to come. ##### Arnold B.

The place is SPECULAR! The view off the back deck is breathtaking . The place is beyond clean with all the amenities anyone would need . We had such a amazing time and the hosts are lovely . The kitchen was great . We made dinner a couple of night and enjoyed wine on the back deck . The place is spacious , perfect for two couple or a family , best part is you can even bring the dog . We will definitely be booking again in the spring . ##### ATB7a10AAACqAQICAHhRqf5uyCh4rhrpAEcd0Lr3O2ECPWffSl2fK29sG1pXlAHUhd9lCqjtHCQUDfXQELJnAAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQMvKn83CZKO4GHrCUhAgEQgC17xc1yjFhkc6y4E29soCIRcmzKT6eX5lh4misJ8doy8shtPFnHBra4Hz9tvjfTEEC2wQx9StFs5ATugVZcsDHFVHZJJ3wbrkp/YHawc1lV A.
