Fishing can be enjoyed from the dock or from the bridge across the creek. The yard is big, The private road offers ample parking.

Not great
We were hit with a rather musty smell upon entering and had to keep the fans moving even though it was cold to prevent it from getting worse. There was also an abundance of mouse droppings all over the house, especially in the cupboards with the pots and pans, and a family of silver fish bugs that live in the bath tub. Thankfully I’m no stranger to the outdoors so I tolerate these things better than most but I still expect better when paying for it. The most bothers thing for me was the lack of communication from our host. A main reason we chose this place was because it had WiFi and I needed to work during our trip. I messaged our host right away asking her how to connect and did not hear back for almost 48 hours until I messaged her again, this time it took a few hours to respond and she let me know there was no WiFi because we we’re staying “off season”. If that’s the case that it needs to be made clear at booking. The photos for this listing are very outdated, I found a print out of someone’s booking confirmation in the first book from 2007 and it was the exact same pictures in the listing and things have not been properly maintained since. Half of the light bulbs are burnt out or flickered terribly. The location and views of the lake are beautiful, it’s just a shame this property isn’t better maintained or at the very least be more honest about the quality of the conditions so people know what to expect.

Sweet getaway
The property is well equipped and comfortable. Its easy to get to and right on the lake. Beautiful picture windows overlook Oneida Lake, and make the living area so serene. It was very rainy while we were there, but that did not lessen our enjoyment of this cute lake house!

Not coming back
We stayed here last year and liked it enough despite some shortcomings to book another year. However, this year the septic system failed and none of us could take showers, wash dishes or flush the toilet. We won't be back.

Beautiful location, nice cottage, but…
The views are breathtaking. The cottage is nicely decorated and relatively comfortable. My husband found most of the seating (and the bed) to be quite low so he spent most of his time sitting on a bar stool. The house was fairly clean with a couple of exceptions in the kitchen area, which was pretty empty of any foils, wraps, baggies, coffee or filters for the unique pot, cooking oil, etc. Lots of salt and pepper shakers, and not much else. The outside was nice but has not weathered well in places. Lots of big trees, some down and needing to be cut up - my husband wished he had brought his chainsaw! Some vacation! Although the bottom of the lake is sandy, there is no sandy beach - the edge is rocky. We had a quiet getaway, which is what we needed, and enjoyed our time there.

Jetski trip
On arrival the inside of the cabin was spotless clean . Very happy with it . There was plenty of parking for two trucks with jetski trailers and easy to pull in one driveway and out the other . Couple of minutes away from a nice boat launch and close to stores if you need any extra supplies or gas . Only issue was wifi didnt work and the grill didnt get above 250 degrees. We had a charcoal grill so it was no big deal . Nice private place to stay .

Vacation
The inside of the house was clean and pretty nice. The roof had a leak when it rained really hard, but it hit the stone mantle and caused us no grief. The outside could use a little tlc, but overall we had a good stay. The huge picture window looking out to the lake is a big plus! Communication was good with owner, quick responses to our questions. We met the gentleman who does the maintenance and he was very nice.

Getaway
This was our second stay here. Great location, especially if you enjoy privacy as we did. The weather didn't cooperate with us, but we were still able to enjoy our view right from the living room area and the fire ring on the property got a lot of use in the cool evenings. Owner responded almost immediately to any questions we had and was very helpful.
