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.

Gorgeous lake house
Absolutely stunning house. Very well decorated. Extremely comfortable beds. The 3rd floor is spacious. The bottom floor is fabulous for entrainment. Loved watching football in the cinema area. Played pool, arcade games, darts. The Christmas tree was picture perfect! Kitchen very well stocked. Plenty of space for everyone. Great dining room table for dinners and a good puzzle. Great views off the balconies. Camp store across the street convenient. Close to adorable small towns.Hosts were excellent communicators. We absolutely adored this house! Stunning in so many ways.

charming lakeside getaway
Spent the weekend for our 30th anniversary with another couple that are great friends. First time using Vrbo, so Angela was quickly responsive to any questions we had. I presume the last renters didn't leave it as how they found it because we had to clean the stove, outside grill, and a few other things before we could use them. With exploring nearby Skaneateles and 1911 and some other places, we ran out of time and didn't get to even try the jacuzzi as we had planned. We couldn't get the bowling machine to work, but the pool table and cinema room did get some use. It is a nice area and easy to get to wherever you want to go. We would stay here again.

Right on the lake, perfect for relaxing or exploring the finger lakes region
On the eastern bank of the easternmost of the finger lakes, this property is close enough to both Syracuse and Skeneatles if one wants an evening out. There are decks on each level with an unobstructed view of the lake and direct access to it from the lowest level. The kitchen is very well-appointed with lots of condiments and spices to supplement your stock. There is even a home theater in the basement, and a sauna. The one quibble I had was that it could do with some comfortable chairs indoors for people to sprawl and read a book, instead of the large formal dining table. However, there is plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the lake view.

This was our second year here which tells you we like this house a lot. Close to one of the best golf courses in New York. Well maintained and prime location right on the water.
