About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Modern lake house w/private lakefront, fire pit, kayaks, amenities, massive deck

Sunny summer days, refreshing lake breezes, naps in the hammock, dinner on the grill, a front-row seat to breathtaking sunsets, evening bonfires = the perfect backdrop for some peaceful R&R, a family-friendly vacation, a romantic date weekend, a get-together with your friends, or any other reason you need to escape to upstate NY.

And of course, stunning views of the changing leaves, crisp autumn air, and a cozy fireplace in the fall!

Our fully-renovated 3bd/3ba 2-story 2,050 sq ft lakefront home on Otisco Lake is ready to give you a luxurious welcome to the Finger Lakes.

Sleeps 10+, features light and airy decor our guests love, new furnishings, multiple smart TVs, new luxury memory foam mattresses, and stainless steel appliances.

All included: kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, a rowboat, yard games, swing, hammock, fire pit, massive lawn (perfect for family gatherings), propane grill, fully-stocked kitchen, bedding, linens & towels, central heat & air, numerous yard games (cornhole, anyone!?), and other amenities are all included to ensure your stay is relaxing and effortless.

All minutes away: the marina, wineries / breweries, pumpkin / apple picking, hikes, the region's famous entertainment, dining, sight-seeing, and plenty of outdoor adventures.

Come experience our slice of lakefront heaven, complete with ~100ft of private lakefront, a spacious (and partially covered) house-length deck, private 60 ft dock, gorgeous views, and open floor plan.

Perfect for families, friends, reunions, a girl’s weekends, a guy’s trip, a romantic getaway, graduation visits, college tours, hiking / fishing / skiing trips, wine tours, intimate wedding receptions, and so much more.

We're a 5 min drive from Marcellus, 10 min from Skaneateles, 30 min from Syracuse and the Lakeview Amphitheater, and 1 hour from Ithaca. The best of the Finger Lakes’ restaurants, shopping, spas, wineries, distilleries, breweries, hiking trails, waterfalls, entertainment, farmer’s markets, fishing, water sports, ski / sledding hills, and more are just minutes away.

Snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling and many other family-friendly activities are all nearby too.

With breathtaking lake views, your own private waterfront, a sprawling lawn, and boats available for rental at the marina if you want to access deeper waters or do some water sports, this is one you won’t want to miss. The fresh air, perfect location, and stunning sunsets are guaranteed to relax and rejuvenate.

** Please note that, as with every lakefront home, water temps / levels and lake conditions are dependent on recent weather, rainfall, etc. Depending on the season and time of year, it's 3ft deep at the end of the dock on avg but you can always use the kayaks and paddle boards we provide to access deeper waters, and/or rent a boat to enjoy water sports and all the fun Otisco's usually-warm waters offer. **

Please reach out with any questions.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

It was the perfect spot for our October family gathering. Unfortunately, the lake was on the dry side so those who kayak were a bit disappointed. No fault of the host. The rooms were spacious and spotless. Highly recommend!

“Meet me at the Lake” was a great place for my 2 adult children, my husband, mother-in-law, & me to share some “family fun time.” The huge back deck which is partially covered gave us a place to hang out, talk, & eat together. We enjoyed the lawn games, kayaks, & fire pit. The view was nice & relaxing, especially in the early morning or at sunset.My only reason for 4 stars & not 5 is the tight bathrooms (although the master shower is quite big.) Also, the house A/C is not great. The weather only reached 80 on one day & the bedrooms were a little warm. (I’m pretty hot natured so take that into consideration.)The owner was great with communication, the check in/out process, recommendations for local favorites, & responded quickly to questions. We would definitely stay again, but would avoid summer. :)

Our visit was perfect! The house was very comfortable, and the lawn and porch were perfect to spend most of our time outside and for our kids to run around/be in the lake. It was great to have so many ways to enjoy the lake with kayaks, paddleboards, etc. Victoria was super helpful and so responsive to any question. Highly recommend this property!

The house was great, the photos gave the illusion there were four bedrooms but it was listed as 3 so that was a little confusing. The bedrooms were all great , 3 full bathrooms made it easy for us to get ready for our family wedding in the area. The deck and many chairs in the yard were perfect for us all to hang out and have our hotel staying relatives to come sit with us and watch the kids play on the kayaks and paddle boards. It was a beautiful location and super hosts who were so helpful!

Relaxing time at a fantastic lake house.

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the spacious property. Despite the rains each day, we were able to enjoy the outdoors including the firepit and covered deck in the morning and evenings. Great local recommendations by Victoria. The property being quite close to the charming town of Skaneateles was a treat as we visited it a few times.

Otisco Lake House

We had a great stay at the lake house. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. We took advantage of the water craft that was available to us and explored the north end of the lake in the kayaks, rowboat and paddle board. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for cooking/dining at the house. It was a great location for exploring the area around the Finger Lakes and we enjoyed driving through the countryside and were able to visit some amazingly beautiful waterfalls in the area. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay on the lake. We really appreciated having the kayaks. With the ones we brought, it allowed our whole family to go out on the lake at once. The house is right off a main road, which I didn't realize. It made getting all our stuff into the house super easy. No long staircase to manage!

watersports...not so much

We had a good time at this property. It was a good layout for our three couples, providing plenty of privacy for all. The deck area is where we lived for the week. The covered deck space was fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room table was perfect for our family meals. We have stayed on Skaneateles and prefer that lake because the water is much more accessible for kayaking and fishing. The weeds on this section of the lake make it difficult (not impossible) for most water sport activities. The absence of water at the property's dock made launching and using our kayaks a bit of a slog. But if you simply want to enjoy water views and read a good book, this property is perfect for that.

Family Vacation

The lake house is comfortable and has everything you need for a great vacation! The row boat and kayaks allow for adventures and fishing on the lake, and the fishing is great even directly from the dock. The large lawn has plenty of space for games. Unfortunately, this part of Otisco Lake is not great for swimming because of the weeds; it's best to rent a pontoon boat and go swimming at another part of the lake if you really want to swim. Our adult children found the futon and air mattress more comfortable than the sofa beds, but overall the house was very comfortable for our party of 11. Victoria is a great host and is very responsive to questions!
