Great location! Wonderful house. Lots of fun!
10.0 / 10.0
As soon as we walked into the enclosed porch and large main living area and saw nothing but the lake, we knew we had made the right decision in renting this property. The place has the classic cabin feel with many personal touches you don't find in most rentals. We were able to enjoy the lake activities with the grandchildren using the kayaks, the greatgrandchildren wading in the lake and the adult relaxing lakeside using supplied chairs and lounge chairs and umbrellas. We appreciated the opportunity to bring in the local family and guests so all could enjoy this place. Even when the weather prevented going out on the lake one day, everyone found something to do: board games, pool table, dart board, big screen tv to watch Eurocup soccer, corn hole and more. Our next family gathering in the Syracuse area will definitely include the Quick Getaway.

Roomy and comfortable summer home in a quiet friendly neighbor. The on-line pictures and description are accurate. What it doesn't show you is how comfortable the beds are, how relaxing and fun the outdoor spaces are (deck and enclosed porch) nor how well stocked it is with anything you could need. And a bonus is working with Andrea who is very friendly, accommodating. and gracious. This was such a great rental and rental experience. We'd love to come back.

We booked this property for a lakeside stay while dropping my son at college at Syracuse University. We were looking forward to exploring the area and enjoying lake activities with the children in our group. Andrea, the owner was communicative ahead of our stay offering to provide restaurant suggestions or answer any questions we had. Unfortunately when we arrived, we were met with a lakeside filled with algae that made use of the lake in any form (swimming, paddle boat etc) impossible. We contacted the owner who said no cleaning services for the lakeside were available and indicated it was an ongoing problem at the house and in the area. We tried to clear out at least an area to access the water but it was a losing battle. When we responded with a lengthy email asking why we had not been informed the lake was unusable before our arrival or at any time during the booking process, andrea did not respond. We felt it was misleading to not mention the algae problem since it was not a one time issue but an ongoing problem. Overall the house has some positives- a nice screened porch, lovely view and nice outdoor fire pit. However, the upstairs is extremely cramped and poorly built (the beds old and severely sagging with uneven sloping floors). We ended up leaving a day early bc without use of the water there wasn’t much to do. For the high summer rate we paid for a ‘lakefront property’ that we couldn’t use, this stay, and the owners lack of concern, was disappointing.

We really enjoyed our quick getaway at the property. The house is perfect for spending time on the lake, lots to do inside and outside. We loved the setup and would certainly consider coming back!
Thank you,
Natalia

Had a fabulous week at the QW! Weather didn't necessarily cooperate, but the QW had spaces to enjoy the outside in the rain, inside when it was windy, and games to play all day and night! Very flexible space for whatever was needed. Many places to dine, drink, and explore in the local area. Andrea was the perfect hostess! Friendly neighbors as well!

This home had a beautiful view of a Otisco lake and access to the lake. The home had everything you could possibly think of. Both the adults and kids had so much fun with all the games both indoor and outdoor. We can’t wait to go back next year.

The beautiful QW
The pictures don't do the QW justice. What an absolutely beautiful property overlooking the lake. 11 of my friends and I have taken a weekend vacation to the finger lakes every year for the last five years and this one was equally as special. There is so much space at the QW with so much to do. Got the long patio by the dock, pool, cornhole, and a beer pong table in the basement, kayaks, a paddle boat, fishing, etc.
We even had a proposal at the house this year! Our good friends who have dated for five years got engaged on the water!
Thanks for an amazing weekend!

Wedding Weekend
Perfect place to stay for a perfect wedding weekend! Andrea is easy to keep in touch with and shared kind words throughout the whole process. Vicinity to Skaneateles made travel seamless and guests were pleased with all the lake activities. Forgot how good a movie Jaws is!

Family Reunion
Beautiful house and views! Perfect place for a family get away! A lot of bedrooms for everyone and the game room was great!

Exceeded expectations in every way!
This place is great! My siblings and I grew up in the Syracuse area, but we have mostly moved away so getting everyone together in a place that we can all hang out together can be difficult. We had a large group, ranging in ages from 10 to 85 and this place had something for everyone in the group. It is a camp, so the floor boards are squeaky and the doors creak, but it is clean and comfy. The owner's description and photos are accurate, the basement has a bunch of table games, the kitchen has a lot of pot, pans, and other utensils that made meal prep easy. The outside areas were fantastic as well. The large porch overlooking the lake was a perfect spot for watching the sunset and eating outside. The dock and water front are easy to access, and also provided another great spot to hang out and play. The host also allowed access to a paddle boat, two kayaks, and a bunch of water sport toys and floaties which was a surprise/bonus! The owners were very communicative and helpful with any questions, and they responded quickly with a super positive attitude.
My family is already talking about plan for next summer at this great place!

Amazing lakefront getaway!
The QW is AMAZING! Everything was exactly as described. Large common areas where everyone can gather and enough bedrooms where people can go when they need a break. Plenty of outdoor and indoor games provide entertainment for everyone. Kitchen has everything you would need and everything was extremely clean. The owners attention to detail for renters is obvious, they definitely want you to feel right at home and mission accomplished! The screened in porch and deck were our favorite spots to hang out, can’t beat the views of lake here. The dock, kayaks, and paddle boat were enjoyed by all as well. The owners were great to work with! Would love to return someday!

Family reunion at the lake
After a year of separation and loss our family wanted to reconnect and the charming, spacious lake house met all our needs. We had 4 little ones and the outdoor water area with swimming, boats, floats and fishing made the week fun for everyone. The house is welcoming. Every detail charming. We had a great time

Beautiful Getaway
We went during the week. It was quiet, peaceful and yet so much fun! Our big family was able to swim, kayak, have a bonfire and got plenty of use out of the game room on the one night that it rained. Andrea was super responsive and the house was even more beautiful in person! Definitely recommend this waterfront property for all ages!!

Just Book It!!
The listing doesn't even begin to show how big and beautiful this property is! We had 9 adults and 2 young children, and there was plenty of space for everyone spread out and relax, or for us all to sit down and eat together. The dock and lake access is amazing. Andrea was an amazing host who checked on us often to make sure we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. Will be booking this place again!!

Graduation Weekend
Came up for Syracuse Graduation with the whole family of young adults. The property was a short 28 minutes to campus which was great. The Location on the lake was prefect. The home had plenty of living area and sleeping space. With all the young adults we enjoyed all the properties amenities while still spending time on the Campus for commencement. Thanks for a great weekend.

Great spot, Great views, Great host
Three of us friends got together for a 3 day weekend and enjoy the beautiful fall time on Otis co Lake. This beautiful set up home was the perfect getaway. The views of the water were breathtaking and the home offered everything a lake home would. Kayaks, game room with a pool table, foosball, ping pong, darts, air hockey etc etc. the two Fireplaces made the stay comfy and cozy. There was plenty of wood available. The amenities well appointed and we had everything we needed. Host, Andrea was incredibly responsive, friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone.

Can I live here?!
My friends and I stayed at this beautiful home
for a long weekend. It fit us VERY comfortably, there was 5 couples and 1 dog and plenty more room if more people wanted to join!
Honestly, the pictures and house do not do the house justice! I was amazed on how clean and cozy it was!
We were bummed we forgot LRC, but the QW had a stock pile of fun games including LCR.
There was always something to do whether it’s sit on the dock and take in the views, have fun in the game room, be out on the water in the kayak or enjoy the fire pit. No matter where you were in the house, there was a beautiful view of Otisco lake.
It was VERY hard to leave the QW. Andrea was very accommodating and was quickly to respond to any questions or concerns I had. We are already looking to book this house again in the future!

Beautiful Weekend Getaway with Friends
We hosted my sister's bachelorette party at the QW and Andrea was more than accommodating and helpful during our stay. The lakehouse was so clean and was a perfect getaway for 10 of us girls. We grilled, we rented a boat, we had firepit s'mores and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend exploring the area. We had dinner downtown Skaneateles one night - only 15 min away. Thank you to Andrea and the QW family!

Cozy-Rustic-Spectacular Views
My husband’s family is from Navarino NY so this cabin was the perfect location to enjoy the lake and visit family. It has beautiful views of the lake, boat access, and beautiful porches to relax. My husbands dad is 82 years old and managed to enjoy some afternoon relaxing while watching his grandkid on the dock. We even managed to get him down the steps for a boat ride. The game room basement was a plus and we enjoyed some nights playing pool and ping pong.
The only negative was some very hot nights upstairs without air condition. The owners use the place when not rented and had quite a bit of food in the refrigerator. It made it a little difficult to store our own supplies. We appreciated the hand sanitizers in all the bathrooms, the large supply of bath and lake towels, and the comfy mattress toppers.
I would highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed.

My family was in town for a wedding in Skaneateles, and this was the perfect spot for us to stay! There was plenty of room for all of us without being too crowded. We had a fantastic time and Andrea was super nice and helpful - making our stay very relaxing! Thank you!

Girls weekend
I was in charge of planning my best friends bachelorette weekend. All she really wanted was a weekend away with all of her friends from around the state in one place. Finding a rental that could accommodate 9-10 people without breaking the bank was a challenge! I found this listing and it was perfect for us. The listing doesn't do it justice. The lake views from the back bedroom and the wall of sliding doors on the main floor really let you take it all in. I only wish the weather had been better so we could have used the fire pit!
We spent the evening travelling to 1911, owera winery and empire brewing in cazenovia, all within a half hour from the camp. Everyone had a great time and Andrea made everything very easy and comfortable!

Our Syracuse stay.
The property was very cozy, relaxing, and comfortable. It had everything in reference to daily supplies. You name it they had it. Fully stocked with all the necessities. But if you go with kids unfortunately there is no tv and no wifi. If it’s just adults it’s a great relaxing stay. The owners are great too. Very accommodating, and very accessible (via text).
