Perfect lake vacation
We stayed at this gorgeous lake home for 4 nights at the end of August 2024. It was perfect for our whole family including all the grandkids. Our 6 year old grandson said “it would have been really perfect if there were kitties”. We rented a boat from Owasco Marina. I would advise that you bring your own toiletries, only hand soap was provided. Also, if you want separate towels for the beach, bring your own. The current instruction manual is outdated, it lists a previous owner, so follow the email instructions. There is a fire pit, but the wood was not split or aged well. Other than the above minor inconveniences, it was a perfect week.

Fabulous porch, great for a big group!
We had a fantastic stay here as basecamp for our wedding weekend. The proximity to Emerson Park was convenience itself, but beyond that, the house was a beautiful place for getting ready photos, and a great hangout spot for our group the night before the wedding. The wraparound porch was heaven on a late spring evening and I wish we could have stayed longer. The numbers of beds and baths was enough for our group of 12. We even had enough space for waltz practice :) The host was extremely communicative and kindly accommodated an early check-in. I would recommend this home to anyone.

A Quick & Fun Overnight Trip!
We stayed one night for my daughter's 16 birthday. She did shopping and dinner in Skaneateles with friends, and then back to the property to hang out for the evening/night! There were 11 of us total and the house provided LOTS of room and choices for sleeping accommodations! Its a HUGE place with lots of room and easy access to Owasco Lake (right across street) or a short drive to Skaneateles! Its a fun property!

Lake house
My main complaint was the listing said basic soaps To me that should include shower soap- all other places I have stayed have as well as shampoos We arrived at the property at 10 pm and had to go out to the store to buy soap so we could all shower in the morning That was the major disappointment. Otherwise the house is spacious and well kept

Went in October for a trip with some old friends. Property was beautiful. Plenty of space for 7 of us. Wrap around deck over looking the lake was awesome. Kitchen and grill met all of our needs. The owner was very accommodating and responsive. Would highly recommend this property for a large group.

Perfect for our extended family attending a wedding
Plenty of bedrooms, dining and sitting areas for our family group of 12 adults and 1 child. The well appointed kitchen allowed us to prepare meals for all of us. Walking distance to Emerson park. It is an older house with great charm and plenty of porch space. It is in the process of updating not reflected in site photos. Recommend if attending a wedding at Emerson Park!

Perfect spot
Five of my women friends and I stayed at this beautiful home for a long weekend. It was the perfect spot for us to relax, catch up with each other and have a great time. The front porch overlooking the lake was the perfect place to spend a good amount of our time. The house is large and beautiful. We had everything we needed.
