Summary: From ease of finding the house to all the amenities everything was simply perfect. The furniture was comfortable with an amazing lake view. The bed was great and water pressure was wonderful. We will definitely go back. I spoiled my wife with homemade waffles and bacon thanks to well provisioned kitchen. Auburn downtown was 9 minutes away which was the best of many years of staying at lake houses. Lots of good restaurants and Wegmans/tops.

Summary: Our group had a wonderful stay at this cozy lakeside Gem. The property is beautiful and offers a large lakeside area to enjoy the lake views and evening fires. The host was very accommodating and all needs were met. We loved the morning sunrises and quiet setting. We definitely recommend!

Summary: The property was beautiful and very homey. Big living room. The bathrooms were on the smaller side & “upstairs” had low ceilings. I would say anyone over 5’5 would have to watch their head. Kitchen lacked a few basic cookware. Other than that, property was wonderful. Loved drinking my morning coffee on the back porch.

Summary: We had a blast staying on Owasco. Morning trips on the kayaks followed by exploration of the surrounding areas was great. A quick trip to Cayuga or Skaneateles gives you infinite options for food, drink and entertainment!

Summary: Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home is located on a beautiful part of the lake. We took advantage of the kayaks and explored other parts of the lake. The fire pit was a great gathering spot in the evening. The home itself is very clean and comfortable. Overall a wonderful stay and we plan on returning next year.

Summary: We absolutely loved every moment of our stay. Lauren was excellent at communicating. The kitchen was so well stocked. It was awesome having sheets and (nice!) towels provided. Nice touches, such as plentiful phone chargers and shampoo/conditioner. So many fun activities to use from kayaks to lawn games. The location was ideal, feeling very private. Having a dock to bring our boat so great.Would rent again in a heartbeat.

I loved the app that the hosts offered that gave us clear instructions for check in/out. The best part was being able to bring my dog along for the trip! 100% recommend. Thank you for a great stay!

Summary: We loved staying at this property - it had wonderful amenities, loads of kayaks, outdoor chairs, a fire pit - we had family members on the lake who could boat over, and we all enjoyed the deck and lawn. Beds super comfy! It was close to Auburn for shopping. We'd kayak every morning. Just great for a few days totally relaxing on a lake. Hope to be back!
