The cardinal cottage was a perfect get away for my wife and I, the area is nice and quiet and the cottage it is everything you could ask for. Will absolutely be returning to Onieda in the future.

This was our second year at this beautiful cottage on the lake. We had an awesome time again! We love relaxing by the lake and hopefully can do it again next year.

We had a great stay for a second time. The host was very responsive and checked on us. The cottage is small but well appointed for our stay with two small kiddos. We enjoyed coffee/hot tea on the decks, cooking breakfast on the Blackstone grill and taking the pedal boat to the nearby park and playground.

We enjoyed getting away from the noise and bustle of city life to a peaceful, quiet area along Lake Oneida. What we loved about the place: 1) Cleaned immaculately. 2) stable wi-fi. 3) fully stocked kitchen. 4) wonderful deck to hang out on and eat. 5) quiet outside surroundings filled with rabbits, geese, chipmunks, and ducks. 6) very attentive owner who made communicated clearly and quickly. 7) Lots of things to do relatively close by and pretty good restaurant.
A few things we found no so great: 1) There is no dining room table but only a table on the deck outside. When it was hot or raining, we had to make do eating on TV trays. 2) The doors to the bedrooms do not fully close which might be a privacy issue for those with kids or another couple staying there. 3) The gas grill was inoperable due to a leaky hose. We had to cook our steaks in a pan in the kitchen (which set off the fire alarms). 4) I know it cannot be helped by there are insects everywhere outside and sometimes in the cabin: spiders, gnats, and mosquitos. This is part of lake life, but it was extreme on days after it rained.
Overall, we were very glad we came here. It was just what we needed to unwind and spend time together without a lot of people or commotion. Thank you, Traci!

stay was very enjoyable.
Rainy and windy most of the time, so we were inside mostly,
We still enjoyed our stay as cottage was so pleasant.
My husband enjoyed so much he said he could live there year round.

Picturesque little cottage located with a water front view. Much need break from work spent every morning enjoying a coffee while looking out at the water. It is off the beaten path but still close enough to explore all the sides of the lake. Loved our stay and the host always responded quickly to any questions we had. 10/10 would recommend.

Awesome updated cottage! I am a clean freak and this place was spotless. Everything was intentionally placed… from a wardrobe closet in the master to a hook to put your towel outside the shower. Basket of snacks, soap, little makeup removal wipes, k-cups for the Keriug etc. The lake view was gorgeous. There is plenty of space on the deck, by the fire pit, right on the edge of the lake the other little dwelling with mini deck. The inside of the cottage itself is small, but perfect for our family of 3. Shower and bathroom are a bit of a tight squeeze but manageable….that’s the only thing that I can even critique. We loved it and highly recommend.

We had a blast at this cozy cottage on such a beautiful lake! We enjoyed the great sunsets and had fun visiting the suggested attractions. The host,Traci, was super responsive and attentive. Would definitely come back! I can only imagine how pretty the fall foliage will be in autumn!

Our stay was very nice.
House was very clean.
Our real only complaint was the Wi-Fi was in an out the whole time. Otherwise it was a very nice place. I thought it might’ve been a little tight for the four of us but it was perfect.
We would revisit this place again.

You simply can't go wrong with this booking! My family stayed there, and my children (ages 7 & 11) never even wanted to leave the property. They especially loved the peddleboat which we didn't even know was there till we booked.
It's a clean, quaint house on a quiet lake spot. The host goes out of her way to make you feel at home. She left a snack basket with things that everyone in my family loved and even checks in via messaging throughout your stay to make sure all is well. The neighbors are also very nice, with two sweet dogs.

Online pictures were accurate but didn't really convey the comfort & hominess of Cardinal Cottage. Traci thought of everything you might need when being away from home--the kitchen was stocked with pots, pans & utensils, making cooking easy & there was shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap in the shower. There was even a welcome basket of snacks--which was delicious and appreciated! Everything was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We had one very windy & rainy day but it was so nice to be inside the cottage just watching it through all of the living room windows. Great views, since you are directly on the lake and we enjoyed cider and board games on the deck and wine on the dock. Communication with Traci was easy and she was quick to respond. Checking in & out was a breeze. We agreed with other reviewers who mentioned the hot water issue but since it was mentioned, we were prepared for it. And the comfort of the cottage, for us, far outweighed any minor inconvenience that staggering showers may have caused. Cardinal Cottage is definitely someplace we would like to visit again--so beautiful in the fall but we think a summer visit might also be fun!

I wanted a quiet house right on the water for vacation and this place delivered by a load! The pictures don’t even come close to doing this property justice. Fully equipped with everything we could possibly need for our stay, even snacks! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here even with rain everyday. We would absolutely do it again!

Very small but good for 2. Shower was small but needed nonslip Matt. A railing would be useful entering the house .

My sister and I have rented many houses on Lake Ontario and this one was perfection. You just have to look at the pictures to fully appreciated what you will be getting. The only remark is it really is only for a max of 4 people. There were only two of us and it was perfect. I would highly recommend it and two people that visited us wanted the information to rent it also.

great stay
Beautiful property inside and outside. Host very responsive to our needs. The welcome basket was so considerate. This camp had all the amenities, we needed for nothing. My wife's favorite part was just reading in the early am on the front deck, so peacefully. Made some great memories

A magnificent view and very relaxing week at the Cardinal Cottage. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the shower. Everything else was lovely. Thank you

Beautiful Cardinal Cottage
My sister and I live in different states and wanted a relaxing place to vacation with each other for a week. Cardinal Cottage was a perfect choice! The cottage is beautifully furnished. We loved the grassy yard and lake right outside the door. The host was promptly responsive to my texts and the property is well cared for. The area is quiet and peaceful. I recommend this property to anyone looking for a lovely, relaxing getaway.

Cozy and comfortable
Great experience, right on the waterfront. My 2 almost 3 year old loved going out on the pedal boat and there is a great park/playground less than 1/2 mile down the road. We came to visit family that lives in the area and really enjoyed being waterfront, so relaxing. It is a small space but very well thought out and equipped. The outdoor space provided ample extra space for our family. Landlord/owner was very responsive when needed.

A home away from home!
If I say that we are thinking about coming back then that should speak volumes. We are very particular. The details that have been put into this adorable place were quite impressive! The bed was so cozy, loved the gas fireplace and the inside of the cabin was so clean. The fire pit and enclosed surrounding was awesome! It kept the bugs at bay at night. We didn’t use the gazebo much but to keep our fishing gear in, but it has everything you’d want. My only tiny disappointment was that I wished the decking was cleaned up a little in regards to old foliage etc. and the fish station was cleaned. Honestly, minor details but like I said “particular”. The property manager is amazing and speedy with responses; absolutely nothing felt like a hassle. Thank you for an incredibly relaxing getaway!!!!

Wonderful place to stay
Really loved our stay. The cottage was beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked with essentials. We enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit and paddling on the lake. My husband had to work while we were there, and being able to work from the outdoor gazebo made it very pleasant. The host was very friendly, responsive and helpful.

Cozy Lake house
Good stay, Owner was very helpful and communication was excellent which made the experience even better. Nice, cozy lake house. Crappy weather didn't allow us to utilize it's full potential. But still a nice stay. The view from the living room every morning was always inviting, great naps to be had! Overall clean and inviting home. Did enjoy the stay.

Lovely
we were looking for a quiet out of state stay where we could fish and enjoy peace and quiet. That is exactly what we got. If I could rate it 10 I would. The property manager was extremely useful in telling us about how the property worked, what was on the property, and what expect. Never did we feel lost while on the property. We will definitely be staying again.

Great ice fishing weekend
We stayed at the Cardinal Cottage this weekend for a 3 day ice fishing trip. The cottage was well decorated & clean. The host provided many extras including snacks & K cups. They also provided bed linens & towels which we found very convenient. We were easily able to access the ice at this lakefront cottage. The enclosed gazebo worked very well as a place to store our gear. Would definitely consider staying here again!
