Beautifully Remodeled Cottage on Otsego Lake! Amazing Sunsets!! 2 Kayaks!

Loved our stay! Cottage was clean and well stocked and perfect for our family of four! We loved the sandy shoreline, kayaks, and dock. The windows made the sunset views beautiful even from inside the house. Would definitely come back!

We booked our stay at the last minute and I’m so glad we chose this place! The kitchen is beautifully updated, the shower is amazing and the sunset views are spectacular! We could see the fireworks without the loud bangs! Easy check in and out as well.

We really enjoyed being right on the water.

Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely lake house and would definitely return for a visit.

We stayed for the week between Christmas and next years we were blessed with fresh snow and good weather. Sling nearby had perfect conditions. Location was great for us. Near all needed items but remote enough to have a getaway. The view of the lake covered in snow was awesome to wake up to every morning

The property was clean and as described. The only thing I would add is that the stairs are very steep for old folks going to the restroom at night. Upstairs is the perfect place for a bunch of kids. Owner was communicative and helpful. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck looking out over the lake. Nice spot.

We had a great week enjoying the lake's beautiful views and sunsets. The cottage is updated with a really nice modern kitchen and bath. We rented the pontoon boat for the week and did lots of tubing, wakeboarding and fishing. There's restaurants and shopping nearby. Wonderful vacation :)

Four adults and one 4 year old grandson had a wonderful summer vacation. It started with two days of rain but it was not a problem, we had a beautiful cottage to hang out in and play games. Then with several days of sunshine, we enjoyed the sandy beach, looking for skipping stones and shells, swimming, sunbathing and boating. The deck was perfect for eating outside or relaxing with a book. The kitchen, (storage, refrigerator and misc supplies) was great and made preparing food on vacation a joy. We brought our bikes and really enjoyed the bike trail so close by. The shower was awesome and even the 4 year old thought it was cool! My husband slept better this week than he does at home. We played hard and slept peacefully! We had one issue but the host was readily available and responded immediately and efficiently.

Beware - we stayed at the property twice this summer. The first time, Shanie reached out the night before asking us to bring a check to pay for the sales tax as according to her, VRBO does not collect taxes - even though this is covered in VRBO clearly in their breakdown. We sent her a copy of the receipt from VRBO showing it was paid and she played it off and said that VRBO said that she needed to send it in. We didn't think much of it at the time and played it off as a simple mistake. She did ask for a review after our stay and we gave a favorable one, despite there being some issues with the property - including cleanliness. We were also given a minimal supplies of a 1/2 roll of toilet paper, two trash bags and two pods to do wash - even though they request to take out the trash and start a load of towels before you leave in the washer. During our communications: Shanie was only polite/nice twice: after we corrected her in the sales tax and when she asked for a positive review in VRBO. Our second stay: we received no communication during our stay from Shanie asking how things were, etc.. Which is fine, but unusual. Every property we have stayed at during out past 9 years, at least someone reaches out and asks how are things at some point. In addition, we were give less than 15% of a roll of paper towel and one trash bag for the duration of our stay - very limited supplies. We also noticed a slew of cleanliness issues around the home, compared to June and the tear in the screen was larger allowing a continued flow of flies in the home. At the culmination of our stay Shanie sent a message to us via VRBO stating there was damage to two items in the home. Mind you, we did not do the damage - additionally, there were several items damaged in the home to begin with, so we didn't think much of it - just the status quo for the property. Shanie filed a exobernant amount for the items via the insurance company for the two items. One for a simple metal frame bed which was wobbly during both of our stays and another for a dent in her dishwasher for a complete replacement. All a scam. Essentially she was just waiting to get money out of us - either this stay or the other or both. So BEWARE: Shanie is a scam artist. DO NOT rent this property. The owner is a pro at the scam game. In addition, she is not the kindness person in communications with us for either stay. Out of 9 years of being on VRBO and our first negative experience.

The service was friendly and kept in contact throughout the stay. The sunsets were stunning and the remodeled common areas were very comfortable. The cleaning service could benefit from a more thorough job; there were cobwebs everywhere, clumps of dust and dirt in corners of rooms and bed assembly had to be completed before we could sleep (we did the assembly). We did have a lovely stay. We strongly recommend this location to others and would stay there again during our annual trip up North.
