I recently stayed at a VBRO property with my family, and I must say it was a disappointing experience. The place was filthy and hadn't received a proper cleaning in a long time. The carpets were absolutely disgusting, and the upstairs bathroom had a persistent moldy smell. One of the advertised highlights was the game room, but it turned out to be a letdown. It was actually a cold garage with a cheap Walmart pool table that wasn't even level. Since we visited during winter, the lack of heating made the game room unusable. We hold high standards for cleanliness, and this property clearly fell short. Even the light fixture on the ceiling fan was hanging precariously from just one wire. Fortunately, after calling the host, someone was sent to fix it. However, this didn't make up for the overall state of the property. I would compare this place to a low-end Super 8 hotel. Considering the hefty price we spent on our stay, it was a huge disappointment. I strongly urge the owner to take action. Firstly, remove the nasty carpets and replace them with durable laminate flooring that can be easily cleaned. Secondly, hire a professional cleaning service to clean the property thoroughly after each stay. The road down to the property was very steep and not pave. This property has the potential to be great, but major improvements are needed. This review is intended to give the owner a chance to improve and future guests the ability to make an informed choice.

For the most part the house was the right size for us (we had 5 adults). It could have been cleaned a bit more. Found a lot of dust, cob webs, etc. I had my parents with me and for them the Funiture was a bit uncomfortable. Beds were great. The garbage cans were a bit far and with weather conditions, could be hard to walk down hill to the back. It rained the whole weekend we were there so the down hill walk was a bit slippery. The house was in a great location for what we needed to do. Kitchen well stocked with everything. Could have used a bit more towels.All in all, a very nice place.

We've stayed at this property twice in the past few years and it is delightful. It is clean, it is spacious and it is in a good location in the heart of the Finger Lakes. We have family with lakefront property nearby, so that's where we go to get our Owasco Lake fix (since there's no lake access with this house), but we are very happy with the home -- very clean, lots to do with young kids (we appreciated all of the games and toys for our 3 year old son), and it's in a great location to get access to all the Finger Lakes has to offer. We will be sure to book a stay here again in the future!

My family & I enjoyed our stay. We were very comfortable and relaxed in this well outfitted home. My son was very happy with the abundance of toys to play with on the back sun room. The fire pit was a great place to congregate on cool nights. We enjoyed the offerings of the kitchen which made cooking breakfast a breeze and the grill covered lunch/dinner. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioners kept the house comfortable during the hot days. We would absolutely recommend this house if you are looking to stay in the Owasco lake area.

My husband and I and one of my other sisters and her 2 adult daughters stayed at this property. It was perfect for what our needs were Don was very kind and gracious to us. The price was very reasonable as this was a very expensive trip for all of us. The house is not on the water but we were not interested in any of that so it didn’t matter, but it was roomy, had lots of games and pool table and clean and comfortable.

This house is clean and spacious. The beautiful yard with firepit and hammock is great. Garage turned gameroom is perfect for kids/family fun. There are many fans in the house, but there's no AC. The nights were warm even with the windows open and all of the fans running. Overall, this is a nice property but there are things that potential guests should be aware of since the description is not entirely accurate and is probably a little overpriced. The statement that the lake is a "short walk" away is a literally accurate statement, but you're not permitted to actually walk to the lake. The description does state that there is no direct lake access but be aware that you can't walk anywhere near it as the road you'd use to walk to it appears to be a private driveway and the property between this house and the lake is all private. Also, the statement that you're able to look out to the lake while you grill is misleading. The only views of the lake are, although pretty, small glimpses above the neighbor's trees from inside the house, as this house sits on a hill, a distance from the lake, behind houses that appear to actually be on the lake. Those houses have trees that block all views of the lake except the glimpses I mentioned. Under the "amenities" list in the description, it states this property is "waterfront." This is outright false since the lake side of the house fronts only the back of the property of the houses actually on the lake. The statements about the kayaks are misleading also. What is actually there are 3 kayaks and ONE cartop transport device to transport ONE of the 3 kayaks. At least one of the kayaks is a double so it is possible for 2 guests to drive that kayak to the closest boat launch (5.4 miles away per Google) at Emerson Park in the city of Auburn. Unless you have an additional vehicle or trailer that can also transport 1 or both of the other kayaks, the other 2 kayaks are useless and really should not be mentioned as a feature of this property without making it clear that the guest must bring their own transport system for both of them. The location of this property is excellent, within a reasonable drive of Ithica, countless waterfalls, wineries, state parks and quaint towns along the way. The city of Auburn has some great restaurants and Wegman's grocery is excellent. Because of the misleading statements about the lake which the rates are based on, I'm giving a 3 star rating instead of 4.
