If I were VRBO, I would look closely at this property before continuing to list it. It is a law suit just waiting to happen. Below is a list of major concern:- None of the smoke alarms were working, and two were missing- large holes in the deck, along with rotted planks with screws heads poking through- A wood beam was a step into the swimming area, and was covered with moss and slim and was slick as ice- Iron I beams holding the lower deck completely uncovered in the swimming area, and angle iron holding the dock sticking out into the water- All six dining chairs had loose legs, which with a wrong move would put someone on the floor. I had to repair myself- The grill that was listed was rusted out completely, so I had to borrow from the neighbors- All pots and pans were unusable, again had to borrow from a neighbor.-the deck chairs that were shown were nowhere to be foundI contacted the owner, and he said if I was not satisfied, I should just leave!!! I spoke with a neighbor and they said this owner has other properties with similar problems, and the owner does not seem to care at all. I find it hard to believe other renters haven't given the same type of reviews.This property has serious safety issues. Again I think YOU should investigate this, as you should not list this until repairs have been made. And I don't care if the owner says we were difficult renters. I paid big money for a SAFE, clean property, and this didn't come close. Visitors were appalled

Family Fun

Everything was wonderful during our stay. The weather didn’t cooperate much which wasn’t a problem as the ping pong table downstairs became daily family tournaments into the late evening. I needed to cook for my niece‘s wedding and the kitchen was equipped with everything and plenty of space. The one day we had great weather the boys fished off the dock and rented a kayak. Thank you Marc, we had a great time.

BEWARE! Please do your research…

Booked for Syracuse graduation weekend; had family arriving at different times. I msgd Marc (host) to let him know my initial headcount had grown from 6 to 9, just in case there was anything he needed from me. His response struck me as odd since the home is advertised to sleep 12, “9 is not an issue but going to be some people on couch”. I wasn’t happy about it, but knew my family would make it work. My niece, the graduate was first to arrive. My ETA was approaching 11 PM. She called me, freaking out! When she walked into the home, she saw dead bugs everywhere and a dead mouse in the middle of the living room - she had to leave. I immediately reached out to Marc to let him know there’s a problem. Marc did not respond to my message until after I spoke to VRBO support and they contacted him. When he did respond, he was dismissive, like this was no big deal. I chose this rental based on the rating but I failed to read all the reviews. I have since read the reviews and they are eye opening if one takes the time to filter them. VRBO support was wonderful at trying to mediate this awful situation. One agent telling me he wouldn’t want to stay there either. The host was unreasonable and very difficult to deal with. My family was in town for one weekend. We all needed to get up very early for graduation the morning after that horrific check in. Obviously, I needed to book another place we would feel comfortable, so we did NOT stay here.

Deruyter lake house

We have been visiting the area for the last 3 years as our son is at nearby Colgate. We have rented many homes for weekend visits. This was by far the nicest experience we have had,Just a beautiful large comfy home. Immaculately clean and well stocked. Ping pong in the basement kept the kids occupied during a rainy weekend. The large streaming TV was great for Netflix movies.Comfortable beds and large dining area. Oven was great for chocolate chip cookies.Oh, and the view of the lake is gorgeous.Property manager was great. Responded to every question promptlyWe will absolutely be back.5 stars !!!!
