Sunset Lover's Dream! Lakefront Cottage on Otisco!

This recently renovated cottage is located on 60' of lake frontage on Otisco Lake. Enjoy everything lakefront living has to offer in a cute little package! The cottage is on a rare flat lot! There is easy access to the water from the sloping beach to take out the kayaks provided. Take in the beautiful sunsets while sitting in the backyard by the fire! The cottage is located just 20 minutes from the Village of Skaneateles and 30 minutes from Syracuse University and SUNY Cortland.

Otisco Lake is great for the avid fisherman. It is especially good for walleye, trout and tiger musky fishing, while bass and panfish are also abundant. Whether you prefer fishing, tubing, jet skiing or just a casual ride on the water, Otisco lake offers it all. Come with your personal watercraft or rent one from the local marina and dock right outside the backdoor at the personal dock (available May - September depending on water levels).

The space is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation for a small family. It has been recently renovated with brand new hickory cabinets, vaulted ceilings and beautiful wood trim. There is a sofa and oversized chair to relax after a day of fun in the sun as well as a separate living space with full views of the lake. The open floor plan allows views of the lake and sunset from virtually every angle.

There are a variety of books and games to pass the time on a rainy day as well as 2 smart TVs where you can access your favorite apps with your personal sign on information. There is also a designated workspace in the bedroom to set up your laptop and catch up on emails or take a conference call with privacy.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans and utensils as well as a spice rack. There is also an instant pot, toaster, microwave and coffee maker.

There is a queen bed in the bedroom with large drawers underneath for plenty of storage as well as a loft with two twin mattresses accessible by ladder. Guests using the loft need to be able to navigate a ladder.

Although a lake front home is thought of as a summer destination, this cottage is the perfect getaway in the spring and fall as well! Enjoy the fall foliage, apple orchards, local wine tours, great hiking, quaint villages and so much more!

You will have full access to the entire cottage. There is a locked shed outside that we keep lawn equipment and some personal belongings in. Everything else is for your use!

I do not live locally, however, I am available by the messaging app anytime you need.

The cottage is set on a small private road off of Otisco Valley Road. It is a quarter mile from a local convenience store and a marina where you can dock your boat or rent one for the day!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a desk, and a dining table.

This is the second property owned by the host Vicki. Both properties were beautiful, clean and very well decorated. The host reached out to us several times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Vicki is an incredible host and we will be staying at her properties in the future. I highly recommend this host and her properties.

Loved the location on a quiet cove, allowing us to float and swim around without worrying too much about passing boats. The house was well stocked with helpful items and was clean. It was a little small, but worked for the 2 of us. The most challenging areas were the bedroom and the bathroom regarding space. The outdoor areas were excellent, including the deck and furniture, and the firepit area. We stayed M-F and there were no neighbors, but the house on the right is pretty close if they were there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thank Vicki for sharing her house.

My son and I stayed at Sunset Lovers Dream Cottage for 3 nights while attending a baseball tournament weekend in Cortland. The drive to and from the fields was only about 30 minutes, making it a perfect location for us.The cottage was exactly what we needed — clean, quiet, comfortable, and nicely tucked away off the beaten path. After long days at the ballpark, it was the perfect place to come back to and relax. The peaceful setting made the whole weekend very enjoyable and stress-free.There are also some great places nearby to eat, which was an added bonus. Overall, we had a very relaxing stay and would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the area.
