About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Modern Lake House! Private lakefront, massive deck, yard games, fire pit, kayaks

Sunny summer days + refreshing lake breezes + naps in the hammock + dinnertime grilling + evening bonfires = the perfect backdrop for some quick R&R, a family-friendly vacation, a romantic date weekend, WFH change of scene....or any other reason you need to get away.

The Finger Lakes region of upstate NY is scenic, quaint and romantic (but also lots of fun with endless entertainment, dining, sight-seeing, and outdoor adventures!). Our just-renovated 3bd/3ba 2-story 2050 sq ft waterfront home on Otisco Lake is ready to welcome you!

Step into our luxurious two-story lakefront escape and enjoy the beauty of Otisco Lake, which is just beyond the private, spacious house-length deck (partially covered in case of rainy days or for those needing a break from the sun).

During your stay, enjoy a relaxing hammock, abundant lawn chairs, a covered swing, a private dock, and a massive lawn as well as multiple kayaks, a rowboat, fishing gear, life jackets, numerous yard games, a fire pit, and more -- all included to ensure your stay is relaxing and effortless.

This property sleeps 10+ and features a fully renovated interior with new furnishings (including a home office overlooking the lake, multiple smart TVs, a new gas grill, new luxury memory foam mattresses, and stainless steel appliances).

Bedding, blankets, towels, beach towels, and a fully-stocked kitchen are all included.

We're a 5 min drive from Marcellus, 10 min from Skaneateles, 30 min from Syracuse and the Lakeview Amphitheater, and 1 hour from Ithaca. The best of the Finger Lakes’ restaurants, shopping, spas, wineries, distilleries, breweries, hiking trails, waterfalls, entertainment, farmer’s markets, fishing, water sports, and more are just minutes away!

Perfect for families, friends, reunions, a romantic getaway, graduation visits or college tours, hiking / fishing / skiing trips, wine tours, intimate wedding celebrations, and so much more.

With breathtaking lake views, your own private waterfront, a sprawling lawn, and boats available for rental at the marina if you want to access deeper waters, this is one you won’t want to miss. The fresh air, perfect location, and stunning sunsets are guaranteed to relax and rejuvenate. You won't want to leave!

* Please note that, as with every lakefront home, water temps / levels and lake conditions are dependent on recent weather, rainfall, etc. Depending on the season and time of year, it's on average >3ft deep at the end of the dock, but you can always use the kayaks and paddle boards we provide to access deeper waters, and/or rent a boat to enjoy water sports and all the fun Otisco's usually-warm waters offer.

Magical setting
Our stay was perfect! It was so lovely to wake up every morning to the lake. It was quiet and peaceful. There is a fabulous town called Skaneateles that is 10 minutes away - it had great restaurants and shops, wine store- it was a really beautiful town on the lake. Overall wonderful stay!

Otisco Lakeside Home
The house was obviously built with quality in mind. It was perfect for our extended family. The 3 full bathrooms had been recently renovated, the beds were comfy, the porch cozy - even on a rainy day, kitchen very well equipped and the lakeside fire pit offered memorable evenings under the stars.

Football weekend getaway
My family stayed at this beautiful lake house during the weekend of the ND vs. SU football game. The house had plenty of room for the 12 of us. The gorgeous views of the mist on the lake greeted us each morning. We enjoyed the lake view while sitting outside on the deck while our kids played outside in the spacious yard. A fabulous time had by all!

Just what we needed.
We stayed at this property during SU alumni weekend with some other SU parents since all the hotels were booked up. This place ended up being the perfect place for us to relax and hang out together after a long day. It was clean and quiet and had all the amenities needed. The check in/ check out process was easy. The property owner was informative and easy to communicate with. We would definitely rent here again.

The deck area was wonderful. Disappointed with lake. Bedrooms need nicer furniture however beds were very comfortable. Could use more seating in living room. House was very clean and the windows were amazing. Beautiful dining room and well equipped kitchen.

watersports...not so much
We had a good time at this property. It was a good layout for our three couples, providing plenty of privacy for all. The deck area is where we lived for the week. The covered deck space was fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room table was perfect for our family meals. We have stayed on Skaneateles and prefer that lake because the water is much more accessible for kayaking and fishing. The weeds on this section of the lake make it difficult (not impossible) for most water sport activities. The absence of water at the property's dock made launching and using our kayaks a bit of a slog. But if you simply want to enjoy water views and read a good book, this property is perfect for that.

Family Vacation
The lake house is comfortable and has everything you need for a great vacation! The row boat and kayaks allow for adventures and fishing on the lake, and the fishing is great even directly from the dock. The large lawn has plenty of space for games. Unfortunately, this part of Otisco Lake is not great for swimming because of the weeds; it's best to rent a pontoon boat and go swimming at another part of the lake if you really want to swim. Our adult children found the futon and air mattress more comfortable than the sofa beds, but overall the house was very comfortable for our party of 11. Victoria is a great host and is very responsive to questions!
