This is our 4th girls weekend at Owasco Lake and the best house so far. It was very clean and well-appointed. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a bedroom for each person. Loved hanging out in the main room with the fireplace on. We did have one plumbing issue, but the owner was quick to get a plumber over and it was fixed quickly. Would definitely rent this house again, and the welcome basket was a lovely touch.
