    Check-in on Saturday afternoon was very simple. The kitchen was well equipped, and we loved the outdoor gas grill. The windows at the back of the house need shades, because the sun really heated the house in the afternoons. And the lake was cool and clean- lovely for swimming and kayaking.

    The Owasco Lakehouse was exactly as advertised. It was a clean, spacious, beautiful home that accommodated our family of 11 very well. The kitchen was well stocked as were the towels and linens. Loved sitting out on the large front porch overlooking the lake. The owners were helpful and flexible. We would be happy to stay here again if it works out in the future.

    After the rain cleared, waking up to see the sun shining off the lake was great. House was perfect for the 10 of us. Commute to SU for commencement events was easy and far better than staying in Syracuse. Highly recommend

    Very accurate description of the property on VRBO. Beautifully restored home with plenty of room for our large family gathering. The kids especially enjoyed the large backyard area and the short walk to the lake. Host was extremely accommodating and quick to respond to any inquiries. Would highly recommend this rental.

    Host was very accommodating and informative about how everything worked. It was a beautiful home with a fabulous view of the lake. The pool table was super fun to have. The hot tub advertised was actually a tub with jets in the master bedroom.

    We found the property to be the right fit for our family and provided everything we needed for our vacation stay. The hosts met us on the first day and were very friendly and inviting. We were able to visit some of the other lakes as well as enjoying Owasco Lake. We look forward to returning to the area in the future and enjoying the Lake life

    The choice of a site for us to gather family to celebrate our anniversary hinged on two factors, plenty of bedrooms and a New York State Finger Lake. This gorgeous home provides both. Our family gathered from Seattle, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The kitchen is well appointed with appliances, plates and cutlery. The dining room table comfortably accommodated 10 of us.Sparkling chandeliers in the dining room and entryway added charm and warmth. Plenty of seating is on the lovely porch, living room, game room and backyard fire pit. There are several choices of water craft across the road at the dock and boat lift to provide hours of fun. And the quaint and historic village of nearby Auburn provides several opportunities for shopping, dining and entertainment. On the card presented to us by our oldest son were these words, Remember this place for your 70th anniversary celebration!

    We had a wonderful stay! We had everything we needed including a gas grill to make our burgers and hot dogs for Memorial Day weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked. We enjoyed staying in this older, but well maintained home. The view from the front porch was the icing on the cake!
