A real oasis
This property is perfect for having a grand lake adventure! I brought my brother and his groomsman here for a chill bachelor's trip and it was a fantastic time. The house was clean, the outdoor activities were plentiful, and the kitchen was equipped to cook anything we wanted to. Catching some perch off the dock and enjoying the sunset were the highlights of my weekend.

Love this cottage!
Absolutely perfect stay!!! We stayed at Sunset Haven a couple years ago and never thought we could top our stay there, it was wonderful. Sunset Oasis topped it! Both places were awesome but the view from the upstairs bedroom at Oasis is breathtaking! The hot tub was amazing with another fantastic view! We can't wait to come back. Thank you Paul!

Nice house with great views!
We did our annual fishing trip to Cayuga\Lake Ontario and stayed here this year. There was room to park two full size trucks comfortably, the house was clean, and the bedrooms were a decent size. The hot tub was clean and the views of the lake from the deck are beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. There was a gas grill that we used on the deck overlooking the water. One thing to note is this house is on a narrow, one lane gravel Street. The street not capable of parking or even driving a boat or really anything on a trailer down. The property owners were nice enough to make accommodations off the property to park a boat. Overall, I loved the house, and I would visit again for a family vacation. As for a fishing trip with a boat, I would need special accommodations for parking the boat again to make the trip.

Magical
We had an amazing stay at Sunset Oasis! We were able to check in early on Thanksgiving, and on that day, my boyfriend proposed! We took a long walk and were in hot tub and had champagne with the Christmas lights on! We had our kids there for a day, and made a special dinner. At night, the water and waves lapped up and we never slept so good. It was a magical stay I will never forget!

Serene Weekend Getaway
Quiet and serene weekend getaway. Plenty of wineries and hiking in the area. Definitely recommend checking out the Taughannock Falls State Park, northwest of Ithaca and then coming back to relax at the hot tub, listening to the sound of waves on the lake.

Loved this oasis on the lake. The views are awesome and the place is nicely decorated. The hot tub was great as it was chilly while we were there. Any questions were promptly answered by the owners and host. We visited a few wineries around the lake. Would like to come back in warmer weather and enjoy the beautiful deck!

Absolutely Wonderful Stay
We were impressed with how many decks there were. Our favorite was the top deck off the living room. We sat out there a lot. Love that there is a fire pit down by the water. Wish it wasn't so hot out or we would have used it. The dock was really nice. We rented a boat for the day and it was nice to stop off to refresh and get some snacks. Beautiful views of the sunsets. You won't be disappointed in the amount of space there is.
The only negative thing we had was the king sized be was hard. Luckily we trave with camping foam bedrolls. So if you don't like a hard bed, you might want to do the same. The place could use a little TLC but with the summer turnover, we understand that this probably doesn't happen until the end of the busy season. We definitely would love to come back. The host were fantastic! Such nice and attentive people. If we had a question, they were right there with help and answers. Check-in and out are easy and fast. No waiting around and no issues.

The cottage was fully equipped with all imaginable amenities and more. The hosts, known for their exceptional kindness and hospitality, had truly thought of everything. Situated by the lake, the property offered 2 kayaks, a fantastic grill, a fully stocked kitchen, and an abundance of towels. The beds were cozy, with plenty of linens and blankets available. And to top it off, the cottage was also pet-friendly! Our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed lounging in the sun and relaxing on the screened porch. I could go on and on, did I mention the paddle boat and the hot tub? Great stay overall and highly recommend!

Sunset Oasis did not disappoint!
This cottage on Cayuga Lake was absolutely amazing! To begin, the house is stocked with whatever you need in the kitchen and elsewhere! Don’t worry that you won’t have the right pan or dish…..it’s there. Towels galore, including beach towels were also plentiful! The house is well decorated and very clean. The beds were comfortable. The kayaks provided were terrific quality and life vests of every size were provided as well. The campfire pit was terrific with wood provided. Lastly, the view from the deck can’t be beat! Sunsets were gorgeous! We will be back! Wonderful weekend getaway for us! Thank you!
