We had an amazing stay at Sunset Cottage. We enjoyed views, water sports and fishing. We used the outside fireplace every night. Such a fun, relaxing vacation spot!

This home was perfect for our week-long stay. There’s plenty of outdoor space (both in and out of the sun) and seating. Furnishings are nice and the home was extremely clean. The kitchen works well for large groups. We would absolutely rent this home again.

Very nice house. Well appointed. Awning covered deck was our favorite spot. Great sunsets. Lake is great for swimming and floating. Close to golf, boat rentals, and of course Tom Thumb ice cream.

This was our families fifth summer renting on Owasco Lake. Our first time at the Sunset Beach lake home.
We took full advantage of all this beautiful home had to offer. Coffee morning views on the upper deck, paddling, floating, swimming, fishing & playing on the beach front most of the day then family dinners on the covered deck and ending our day with a fire and s’mores.
The beds were comfortable and the decor inside exactly as pictured on the website. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with accessories; leave your beach towels at home! We hoped to return in 2025 but July was already booked. We’ll try earlier next year!

I was trying to think of a word to describe our stay here last week and amazing just doesn’t cover it. The house is gorgeous inside and out and we had such a wonderful time that we barely left the property! The location is perfect with beautiful sunsets and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. In the description, it gives you a short list of things you should bring and they weren’t kidding! Everything and more is provided! I greatly appreciated that there was just one step into the home for my elderly mother as well as a first floor bedroom for her. The owners were great and answered any questions we had with fast communication. We are already looking at when we can come back to visit. This house is an absolute dream!

I've stayed at a number of VRBO's. And many of those were lake houses. This property has to be one of the best. The house is fantastic, The location is fantastic, the deck and dock are fantastic. Tony is very accommodating and very good at communicating. Everything you could possibly need is located in the house or in the garage for your use. Paddleboards, kayaks, life jackets, additional chairs, etc.
The outside living space / dining room was a great place to share dinner and breakfast. The awning over the rear deck made the space usable at all times.
We will be back.

We had a wonderful family get together. Even on a rainy day, there were plenty of spaces to accommodate a variety of activities for both adults and toddlers. Our local hosts, Tony and Joette, went out of their way to make this a memorable stay. We appreciated the cleanliness of the place and the quality of the beds, towels, and appliances. This was our second stay and we look forward to our third!

My siblings rented four cottages on Lake Owasco for a nephew's wedding and family reunion, and by all accounts this was the best house. Gathering areas inside and out were spacious, modern and comfortable, all with great views. I loved the various places to sit outside, shaded and sunny, but sipping wine at the end of the dock while watching the sunset was simply the best! Special kudos to our hosts: In addition to excellent communication generally, they accommodated a family member with allergies by providing fragrance-free linens and towels, and even stocked special soaps for our use. I also appreciated the artistic touches throughout the home and the lovely welcome basket. Our hosts clearly care about the home and the happiness of their guests. Thank you Tony & Joette!

Spacious, clean, and well organized are the key takeaways for this property.

Wonderful! Perfect place for our family to gather from all over the country to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from SU, her birthday, and Mothers Day! Tony was awesome - offered all kinds of help in getting to know what was where, local sites, and even let us use some of his fishing tackle 😁. Beautiful place in a beautiful setting - highly recommend!

We rented the property for a memorial trip for a dear friend. From the moment we entered the property it was apparent the owners value a positive experience for their renters. The home is beautiful, the kitchen is stocked, the beds are comfortable and the house is spotless!!
I enjoyed my stay so much that I was planning on booking it for our family vacation. Unfortunately, the property is booked for the entire summer! Totally understandable!!!
I look forward to returning!

This house and property has an amazing view of the lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. We used both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces.

We look forward to staying here again.

This might have been the best appointed VRBO we have ever stayed in. The beds, linens and towels were lovely. The home was wonderfully stocked with things that you just might need. A little gift basket at the door was a sweet and welcome surprise.
There was plenty of room for everyone - in both the bedrooms (8 people) and in the main living space. The decks are truly spectacular.
We loved this home a lot and have already booked our friends trip again for next fall!

We stayed here with two families with kids. The host was extremely responsive to any inquiries. We spent most of our time sitting out on the dock (with Adirondack chairs) which was a nice surprise! We also used the outdoor fireplace which was very relaxing. We stayed mostly at the home but did do a day hike at Filmore Glen state park. The swimming basin had closed for the season but the views on the hike were really nice and it was not crowded. The kitchen was well stocked.

Lovely home on a perfect lake setting. The house was roomy, nicely decorate and very comfortable with a beautiful spacious covered deck. We enjoyed the easy access to the lake, the kayaks and swimming. Kitchen was very well stocked with great kitchenware. We loved having our meals on the deck with the beautiful lake view. The host was very welcoming and responsive. We can't wait to return.

The house is beautiful and clean, and boasts amazing sunset views over Owasco Lake. We had a group of 4 adults and 5 kids. There was plenty of space and entertainment for all ages.
Everything is just as advertised and photographed. Our group particularly appreciated the outdoor space, including the patio with covered and uncovered sections, nice yard for kids to run around, deck overlooking the lake, and private beach area for swimming/fishing/kayaking.
It’s clear from the moment you walk in that Tony and Joette want you to fully enjoy your stay. We were greeted by a welcome basket with goodies and a binder full of helpful info and local recommendations. The kitchen is well stocked, there’s reserves of toiletries, first aid, and outdoor supplies. They are top shelf hosts. 5/5, would happily visit again.
