We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed in the kitchen in terms of dishes, cookware etc. The game room / theater was so fun for our group. We hope to be back!

Wonderful family vacation

Our extended family of 7 stayed at this amazing property. The owners are so kind and attentive. We wanted for nothing. The house was fully stocked and provided so many amenities. Plenty of things for the kids to do inside and outside. The house was comfortable and cozy. The small store located across the street provided even more conveniences. We rented a pontoon boat from the Otisco campground. Easy access to the lake from the property. The whole trip was amazing. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

Great Family Getaway

We had an amazing time for a family getaway. We spent a lot of time in the basement rec area using the pool table and dart board. The yard was large enough for cornhole and the deck areas were great sitting spots to watch the lake. We also had a fire one night. We rented a pontoon boat from the campground/marina right across the street so we could walk there which was convenient. House is well stocked and pictures are just as advertised. Highly recommend!

Perfect Setting

The property was just as pretty as it shows in the pictures. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. We had a great time using the pool table and video games in the downstairs as well as playing games at the dining room table. There was pleanty of room in the back for playing cornhole and a frisbee game we brought. The view of the lake was perfect from the deck and the back yard and we all took a dip in the lake from the dock. The store across the street was just a few steps away and you can also rent a boat there and just walk about 2 minutes to the marina to board. The host was wonderful and was right on top of everything we asked about. My family had an awesome vacation there and I wouldn't hesitate to rent the house again. Do not miss this house if you are going to the finger lakes!

Great house!

House was very nice, basement great for kids etc. House on busy road, so watch the kids. Only 2 restaurants on the lake, but Skaneateles is 15 mins with plenty to do. Owners very nice and responsive. Great fishing on north lake side, house is on south end, which is cut off from main lake by a causeway, with a small "cut through" for boats to go back and forth, but not a long ride by boat.

House was beautiful and right on lake- easy to rent boat at marina a few doors down. Everyone loved the game room. Unfortunate it was too hot to enjoy the hot tub during our stay (record temperatures in upper 80s/ lower 90s. The theater room is a bonus; however, you need your own subscriptions to watch anything so we were limited to YouTube. Overall, there was plenty of space for our family of 8 in this beautifully decorated, sparkling clean home on the quiet peaceful lake Otisco.

Quick Family Getaway

The house and hosts were amazing. The hosts allowed us to change our dates when we experienced an unplanned family event. The house was beautifully decorated.When a snowstorm arrived, we decided to cancel our day trip and took advantage of the basement/game room. When we were not playing pool or board games, we were in the hot tub or watching movies in the theatre style seats.
