Wonderful! Perfect place for our family to gather from all over the country to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from SU, her birthday, and Mothers Day! Tony was awesome - offered all kinds of help in getting to know what was where, local sites, and even let us use some of his fishing tackle 😁. Beautiful place in a beautiful setting - highly recommend!

We rented the property for a memorial trip for a dear friend. From the moment we entered the property it was apparent the owners value a positive experience for their renters. The home is beautiful, the kitchen is stocked, the beds are comfortable and the house is spotless!! I enjoyed my stay so much that I was planning on booking it for our family vacation. Unfortunately, the property is booked for the entire summer! Totally understandable!!! I look forward to returning!

Beautiful, relaxing getaway!
This house and property has an amazing view of the lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. We used both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces. The host, Tony, was very accommodating and helpful during our stay. This VRBO is nearby to many wineries, vineyards, Skaneateles and the famous MacKenzie-Childs Farmhouse and visitor center. We look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful and Well Appointed Home
This might have been the best appointed VRBO we have ever stayed in. The beds, linens and towels were lovely. The home was wonderfully stocked with things that you just might need. A little gift basket at the door was a sweet and welcome surprise. There was plenty of room for everyone - in both the bedrooms (8 people) and in the main living space. The decks are truly spectacular. We loved this home a lot and have already booked our friends trip again for next fall!

Wonderful stay
We stayed here with two families with kids. The host was extremely responsive to any inquiries. We spent most of our time sitting out on the dock (with Adirondack chairs) which was a nice surprise! We also used the outdoor fireplace which was very relaxing. We stayed mostly at the home but did do a day hike at Filmore Glen state park. The swimming basin had closed for the season but the views on the hike were really nice and it was not crowded. The kitchen was well stocked.

Awesome place, even better hosts.
The house is beautiful and clean, and boasts amazing sunset views over Owasco Lake. We had a group of 4 adults and 5 kids. There was plenty of space and entertainment for all ages. Everything is just as advertised and photographed. Our group particularly appreciated the outdoor space, including the patio with covered and uncovered sections, nice yard for kids to run around, deck overlooking the lake, and private beach area for swimming/fishing/kayaking. It’s clear from the moment you walk in that Tony and Joette want you to fully enjoy your stay. We were greeted by a welcome basket with goodies and a binder full of helpful info and local recommendations. The kitchen is well stocked, there’s reserves of toiletries, first aid, and outdoor supplies. They are top shelf hosts. 5/5, would happily visit again.
