Lakeside Gem
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!

Family Get Away
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.

A great escape right on the water
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!

Wonderful
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.

Relaxation
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.

Everything we needed and more
The property was exceptional. The cottage had everything we needed. I could not have been more relaxed or happier sitting by the lake watching my family truly enjoying our time together.

Poplar Cove Was Perfect
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!

Perfect Lake View
Loved the view, water toys, and lake access. There were only 4 of us and more than enough room. Really cozy and clean. Would be happy to stay again sometime in the warmer months.

Absolutely the BEST!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful, comfortable home! Stunning location, right on the lake with amazing views from all the windows and lots of outdoor space to play. Beds were quite comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and the house was very clean. We were there in the winter, so couldn't take advantage of all the equipment for summer activities, but everything you need for water activities, barbecues and hanging out around a fire pit are there. The best part was the host, Lauren. She was so kind and easy to communicate with. It was a lovely and thoughtful surprise to find she decorated the home for the holidays, as we spent Christmas there. She went out of her way to make us feel at home. Looking forward to coming back !

Everything was absolutely amazing about this place. View was great, home was so nice. The only complaint that I had was the price for the cleaning crew. Compared to others it was quite high. But overall a wonderful experience!!
