Our family of 5 and our dog loved our stay here. The large patio overlooking the water with plentiful seating was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, the sunsets, lounging/reading, and outside dining. The spacious waterfront/docks and floating dock enabled us to enjoy lots of fishing and swimming, and our dog absolutely loved the water and being out on the docks and patio with us. The multiple kayaks, paddle boards, and life vests that were provided for our use was also one of the reasons that attracted us to this booking. The house was plenty big with the loft being a great space for our 3 kids. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the living area had ample comfortable seating to relax in the evenings. Most of all, the house was impeccable clean when we arrived. Mike was incredibly easy to communicate with and checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going ok, and was flexible with our check-in time which was greatly appreciated. The house itself is in a great location on the east side of the lake with easy access into Auburn or exploring other lakes and towns. We had a wonderful lake vacation and would definitely rent this cottage again.

Enjoyed our week at the house and the serene setting of the Finger Lakes region. Wonderful/responsive hosts. We loved the house and location. We especially enjoyed the deck, overlooking the lake, from early morning to beautiful sunsets to star-gazing. Easy access to lake to swim, float or paddle. We were able to host family who live in the area. Our 13yo dog had a great tine exploring too. Location close to Auburn and Skaneateles for exploration.

My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful time at Mike and Karen's house. Beautiful sunset views from the deck and a lovely property on a quiet road. Though we had a couple of bumps during our stay, Mike was responsive and quick to address our issues. Overall, we felt very at home, had a wonderful, relaxing stay, and look forward to staying again in the future!

Beautiful home with an incredible view of Owasco lake! Our family of four and our dog can’t wait to return to this home for lazy summer days and dips in the refreshing lake water! Mike made sure that we every need we had was met. He was communicative and so helpful. We felt right at home. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely spot to vacation in the Finger Lakes, especially if you want to bring your four legged best bud!

We loved this VRBO. Our family just spent four nights at the cottage. It's beautiful. Perfect location. Close to town, but also a serene setting on the lake. The deck off the living room is the perfect place to relax with friends and family. The docks for water access are great. And we loved the gated, fenced deck area so the dog could hang out with us without worry. Comfortable beds, nice bathroom and a large kitchen with everything you need. The hosts were so nice and answered all our questions. We would be more than happy to visit again.

We have been to the Finger Lake area on multiple occasions. This was our first time with our Labrador, Molly.
Mike's and Karen's rental home was a perfect fit for our late summer vacation. The views from the house were spectacular with picturesque sunsets. Molly would go swimming many times during the day in the crystal clear lake. She loved chasing the ducks. The owner are very much dog friendly. They even invited our dog into their home. The beach road is a good place to walk your pet. This rental home is within reasonable driving distances to many of the popular sites in the area. You can't go wrong by renting this property.

A week for my wife and to spend time with our children and their spouses (along with three dogs). Beautiful spot, not a great weather week but we were able to spend time near/in the water.
Many things to do in the area. We had a great hike at Fillmore park and enjoyed lunch a couple of times at Prison City Brewery.
We will definitely come back to the area in the future.

This was our family’s second time renting this property. It’s quickly become a place that’s turned into a summer tradition. We have a blast playing with the rafts, water noodles, and paddle boards that are available for use at the house. We like the property not only because of the cottage itself, but because of its location. Each day we ventured somewhere within 20 minutes, whether it be downtown Auburn, Aurora, or Skaneateles. We also discovered Emerson park, which is gorgeous, perfect for bike riding/walking/ jogging, and only about 5 minutes away. Mike, as always, was an excellent host and communicator, wanting to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We highly recommend this property and hope to come back for years to come!

We travel and use VRBO extensively and have to say …Michael and Karen exceeded every expectation we had in so many ways. Extremely wonderful conversations, helpful tips on local activities and just down right fun to be around. They made everything extremely accommodating. The location is second to none. The dog friendly atmosphere took the stress out of traveling and the sunset views…perfectly situated on the east shore so you can enjoy every second of the sunset

We have been staying at various properties on Owasco Lake for at least 15 years. This location raises the bar and sets a clear standard for relaxing vacations. The owners were very easy to communicate with and replied promptly to any questions we had. Our dog was very comfortable with the owner's dogs and really enjoyed wandering the property. We will certainly be looking at this property for vacations in the years to come.

Great way to end the summer
My husband and a couple of our friends stayed here for a little fishing trip weekend and we had a great time. The house was great, everything was very clean and the owners were very accommodating. Wonderful view from the deck and the dock is very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!!

Awesome house!
Our week at this house was terrific! The cottage was very spacious and super clean. We ate in a lot and everything I needed to cook with was available in the kitchen. Our favorite place was on the huge deck, which was enclosed and gated so our dog was able to hang out unleashed. Views from there were amazing, especially the sunsets. We had fun using the kayaks too. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed driving around and checking out the local scenery. The owner checked in to make sure all was well, which was greatly appreciated.

Amazing Lakefront House
My family and I had a lovely week at Mike’s house on Owasco Lake. The house is an incredible lakefront property with an expansive deck front and the most amazing sunsets. Mike was easy to communicate with and very readily accessible. He made us feel very much at home! The house is very closer to downtown Skaneateles for shopping and restaurants and also very convenient for grocery shopping at Wegmans. I was impressed by the size of the living space - the kitchen/living room area is a very open space with lots of room.
I highly recommend this property and hope we can visit again in the near future!

Great views
We had a wonderful time staying at this cottage.
It is spacious and clean.
The deck on the lake is large and the sunsets wonderful.
We fished off the pier and although only caught small fish but it was still fun.
The one problem I had was that even though the kitchen was well stocked…. Got me there was not enough sharp knives.
So if you are going to cook… bring some!

Couldn’t be happier
This was the perfect spot for our family (two adults + a 4-year-old and 6-year-old) to experience summer in the Finger Lakes. The house had plenty of space and we spent most of our time out on the large deck overlooking the lake. The location of the property is perfect because the lake itself is quiet but just a short drive from Emerson Park (kids loved the playground), downtown Auburn, and Skaneateles. The Owasco Farmer’s Market was a highlight and we brought home local produce (the best corn we’ve ever had) to make dinner in the well-appointed kitchen. When the weather was nice we swam, fished, and used the paddleboards. When the weather wasn’t nice we were thankful to be in a “cottage” with nice furnishings, high-speed internet, and cable TV :)
As a host, Mike was great - he checked in with us to make sure we were happy and gave us spot-on local recommendations. He and his family live next door but it never felt intrusive. Also, we are not “dog people” (I know, I know…) but did not find his dogs nor the dog-friendly nature of the cottage to be an issue at all.
Overall, awesome. Total gem. Plan to return. Thanks, Mike & Family!

Beautiful lake!
We were looking for a restful location with plenty to do in the area, and we found it!
The house itself had everything we needed, plus things to enjoy the water, but the water was a bit cool for us. Instead, we enjoyed the 10 ducklings and their mom who would take a nightly trip by our dock and all the beauty of the sunsets. Auburn and the other towns are each so unique, and visitors won't want to miss the historic sights near by. We highly recommend a a stay here!

Loved our time on Owasco Lake
My husband and I had a wonderful getaway in Auburn, NY, where we were able to totally relax. The house comes with a well-equipped kitchen, tasteful decorating, kayaks and paddleboards, but the best part is the huge deck overlooking the lake. The sunsets were gorgeous. Mike and Karen, the owners are the BEST!

Great stay at Lake Owasco
My family and I had a great experience at this VRBO. The hosts live next door and were really nice and attentive to our needs. Perfect fall weather, beautiful view of the lake, made a nice fire in the pit at night. Great location ten minutes from the town of Auburn where there is a tasty brewery. Easy access to running, hiking, apple picking. And we were able to bring our dog! We would definitely rent from these hosts again.

Short and Sweet
We only had enough for time for one overnight and we’re looking for a place to stay close to a dad who lives in Syracuse and to do some apple picking and fall touring. The location was in the middle of it all was exactly as described and give us an opportunity to relax in front of a beautiful lake and do a little fishing increase good memories with your family

Beauty on Owasco Lake!
Perfect place for my family to meet and enjoy the beautiful views from this cottage. A huge kitchen where we all were able to cook together and a huge deck to hang out on. Thoroughly enjoyed the resident dogs and our white shepherd had lots to explore on the shore. We brought our jet ski but the cold weather deterred us from using it. Would have loved to take advantage of the wake boards that were there for our use. Took advantage of some hiking near by and a few wineries. Very happy with our stay there!
