For the most part the house was the right size for us (we had 5 adults). It could have been cleaned a bit more. Found a lot of dust, cob webs, etc. I had my parents with me and for them the Funiture was a bit uncomfortable. Beds were great. The garbage cans were a bit far and with weather conditions, could be hard to walk down hill to the back. It rained the whole weekend we were there so the down hill walk was a bit slippery.
The house was in a great location for what we needed to do. Kitchen well stocked with everything. Could have used a bit more towels.
All in all, a very nice place.
The cabin is actually nicer than it looks in the link.
Truly a home away from home
Book it!
We've stayed at this property twice in the past few years and it is delightful. It is clean, it is spacious and it is in a good location in the heart of the Finger Lakes. We have family with lakefront property nearby, so that's where we go to get our Owasco Lake fix (since there's no lake access with this house), but we are very happy with the home -- very clean, lots to do with young kids (we appreciated all of the games and toys for our 3 year old son), and it's in a great location to get access to all the Finger Lakes has to offer. We will be sure to book a stay here again in the future!

My family & I enjoyed our stay. We were very comfortable and relaxed in this well outfitted home. My son was very happy with the abundance of toys to play with on the back sun room. The fire pit was a great place to congregate on cool nights. We enjoyed the offerings of the kitchen which made cooking breakfast a breeze and the grill covered lunch/dinner. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioners kept the house comfortable during the hot days. We would absolutely recommend this house if you are looking to stay in the Owasco lake area.
