Private Level Beach! Pet Friendly Peaceful Cottage with Stream, Dock & Woods.

This waterfront cottage has the perfect surroundings for a family getaway! Because it is the last cottage on a dead end, nature is all around you here! There are woods to walk through with a small waterfall and babbling brook that runs alongside the cottage. A long grassy front lawn can be used for all kinds of outdoor activities, and best of all the beach is level with no steps! There is a dock to keep your boat on if you decide to bring one or rent one. The walk out into the water is a fairly gradual one which is great for small children. The best thing about this beach is not only is it level, but there are no weeds growing here in the water so a pleasurable swim is in store. The beach consists of small flat rounded rocks. We also have a rowboat with life jackets you can use if you want to venture out in the lake a bit more!
A short walking distance away (approx. 200 yards) is a a large green space (about 10 acres) with a small playground and room for all kinds of outdoor lawn activities that require a large space. A dirt path/private road runs along side it and is great for kids that bring bikes or scooters etc. or just for taking a nice walk!
The approximately 1000 square foot cottage has a wonderful open floor plan and boasts a very spacious living and dining area great for conversation or relaxation with nice views of the lake and stream. The living room leads out to a deck on the lake side which has a grill, lounge furniture and dining with all the sounds of nature.
The modern kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of cookware/utensils and is just off the dining room, which also has views of the lake through the living area.
There are three small cottage sized bedrooms, one with a queen, another with two twins another with a double, and there is a queen sofa bed in the living room.
The shade from the large old trees around the cottage and the lake breeze keep it nice and cool so there is really no need for air conditioning. We do have a couple of ceiling fans and portable oscillating fans you can place in the bedrooms or wherever you like.
There is no furnace in the cottage but there is a portable space heater you can place where you like and also some electric blankets for chilly spring or fall nights.

Lake House Vacation
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The lake access can’t be beat - we spent time there every day - the beach area made it easy for kids to wade/swim. Check in/out instructions were clear and Christine was reachable when needed! There was plenty to do in the area - we are already thinking about our next trip to the Finger Lakes!

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay. The house was perfect! I really loved the sun porch.The host was always just a text away. We had a washer/dryer as well as a dishwasher. Apparently the washer needed to be replaced from the last rental and low and behold it was sent immediately and set up. The beach front was lovely.It is rocky so wear your water shoes! We had plenty of opportunity to swim. The water was clean. The house is in a small pvt community. We had our privacy and the locals were nice. The kitchen was well appointed. I am looking forward to next year

The cottage was very neat and clean. Everything was provided [ except for food and drinks] and the kitchen was well equipped with everything. Plenty of parking for vehicles and trailers. The boat launch was a short trip across the lake. We would do it again.

This is by far the best equipped vacation rental I've ever stayed in. It is charmingly decorated, and has a wonderful kitchen. The week we stayed was rainy but that just made the waterfalls better. DO NOT miss nearby Fillmore Glenn State Park's gorge trail. Out of all the beautiful sights we saw, that was not only the most beautiful, but the most accessable trail, and it's only about 20 minutes south.

Never again.
It was so cold with only one space heater to warm the place. We had to sleep in living room to keep warm. You flush the toilet the sink and tub would bubble and it smelled. We were afraid to shower or bathe. The other scary part was after we brushed our teeth and drank a glass of water We read in their book not to drink the water. I got a terrible tummy ache now we know why. The lawn was so overgrown. The kitchen window was left open upon our arrival so it was damp and cold. We closed it. Went to town came back the place smelled like mold or mildew. The lake was pretty, kitchen had plenty of dishes for cooking . We will never stay at this place again and felt the price we paid we should have had better heat, felt safe to shower and brush our teeth.

Terrific space and location!
The lakeside cottage was perfect for two adults and one pup. The living area was comfortable and the lake front was a joy--especially for our dog. We couldn't get her out of the water. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Lovely Lakeside Location
Our family enjoyed our week long stay. The kids particularly enjoyed the beach and swimming in the lake at one of the few locations without weeds immediately next to shore. Christine is an excellent host. All questions we had were quickly answered.

A Little Gem
We had a wonderful time here. My wife, three kids and our dog all relaxed and took advantage of Owasco Lake and the Finger Lakes area. Clean, cozy--with all the amenities you'd want--the house is a nice cottage at the end of the driveway that has great shade, nice deck and a private beach perfect for any age or activity. Owners were helpful and neighbors were friendly. We also HIGHLY recommend Fillmore Glen State Park (literally right down the road in Moravia), Auburn, Seneca Falls (Women's Rights!!), Tom Thumb mini-golf and plenty of time floating on the lake. Welcoming and versatile for your family needs, we enthusiastically recommend this rental.

Great location
Its difficult to find rentals that accept dogs. This did and was perfect for us. She loves to swim. So the beach with its jetty was perfect. It was very quiet. We enjoyed kayacking,swimming, and fires on the beach. The house had everything we needed, but does need a end of season clean and repair session.

Cute lake cottage
We had a wonderful time on Owasco lake. We swam and paddled boarded everyday. Plenty of room for all of us, well stocked kitchen. Just a short drive to Filmore Glenn and to other hiking spots. Farm stands everywhere! We had fun exploring Ithaca, Skaneateles, Aurora and Auburn. Our host, Christine, was super responsive and checkin/checkout was simple and easy. My dogs had fun, too!

A wonderful week at the Lake!
We had a wonderful week at this lake house. The description was exactly as described. It was clean and bright. The dock was taken out because of very heavy rains from several weeks ago. It did NOT make any difference in our stay. We used the firepit most nights by the water’s edge. The Adirondack chairs were perfect! Kitchen was well equipped and clean as was the rest of the house. We did not have any problems during our stay but when I texted Christine midweek that everything was fine, she responded immediately! There are so many things to do or you can just stay back at the house and relax! The only issue that we had ( and we knew this going in) was that on hot and humid days, air conditioning would have been nice. The fans were fine. I would absolutely recommend this house 🏡!!

Owasco Lake rental
The waterviews, sunsets and water quality were great, but our impression was that the property is poorly maintained. The house did not appear to have had a thorough house- cleaning in a very long time. When we arrived, we noticed a tarp had been placed on the roof. The ceiling in two of the bedrooms was in poor condition, and the odor in those two bedrooms was very hard to tolerate, leading us to sleep on air mattresses, sofa and tent outdoors. Centipedes were continuously crawling in the bathroom . Due to poor phone reception, we were unable to make contact with Christine until later in the week, and she appeared to be willing to take the necessary steps to address these issues. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 children.

Owasco Lake, Nice for 6
We were 7 plus a 5-month old. Possible but a bit cozy. It would be pleasant if not spacious for 6 or fewer. The house was fairly clean. Nice, new and functional kitchen. Parked 4 vehicles easily. The land is a sliver, perhaps 20-25’ wide. The stream bed varied from full to dry. The stone beach is nice, the dock minimal but old-timey, the lake clear and delightful. The metal fire pit on the beach was a plus in the evenings. Pet-friendly: we took along our little rescue pup.
