Just returned from a 1 week stay on Owasco Lake. The location is great. (close to Auburn NY) Water clarity is excellent. Dock is small but also has a swim raft. House is spacious overall and has a nice new deck overlooking the lake. Deck furniture is in good shape. Separate patio with tiki bar and large gas grill. (it worked but was pretty filthy.) Has a fire pit on a lower level of the patio but no seating on that level. Plenty of free firewood for campfires. The bedrooms were spacious and beds reasonably comfortable. Had to unclog 1 bathroom drain. Kitchen had the right equipment incl. 2 refrigerators. 1 had no shelves in the door and was hard to keep from freezing our food. Plenty of knives but no sharp ones and no sharpener. I bought one and left it there so problem solved. The family room furniture was ready for the trash, worn and stained. 2 decent sized dining tables but pretty rickety. LR sectional couch was in decent shape but needed cleaning. The grounds around the house have a lot of potential but have not been maintained. More noticeable as the neighboring house has beautiful landscaping. Gutters need maintenance which became an issue when it rained hard and water poured off the roof in front of the door, making it hard to enter without a good soaking. Exterior of the house needs maintenance. (missing siding, peeling paint, etc.) Owner needs to attend to safety issues re: inoperable smoke detectors and electrical outlets w/o covers.

Overall, the house was clean and most importantly everyone had a good time!!! Jim was easy to communicate with and easy to get along with. Home could use some updates inside and out, but nothing major. Didnt like that the home was so close to other properties, but no one bothered us. Definitely would recommend to others.

Perfect property for a large family gathering! Plenty of space throughout including two living rooms, bar area, tiki bar outside, garage next to tiki bar which came in handy during several thunderstorms. Could use a few maintenance adjustments with screens and windows but overall a perfect getaway place to enjoy the lake view and solitude. Had all the amenities of home.

We stayed for Syracuse graduation weekend. The house is large and easily accommodated 8 people. It’s a little dated but served our needs. However, neither of the 2 coffee pots worked and it’s a 15 min drive into town for coffee.

Great property and location. We loved all of the relaxing spaces around the house and the proximity to the water.

We had such a great time at this lakehouse!! Views are beautiful and the house is very nice. Hoping to come back next year!

We loved the waterfront access and beautiful views from the deck. The kitchen area was big enough for our group of 27 (staying in 3 houses). We brought kayaks which would be a nice addition. Stopped by a few wineries and brewery in Aurora, about 25 minutes away. Overall a beautiful place.

Great property, sun lounge facing the lake is incredible. Great fishing to the point that fish were biting us when we swam near the dock. The property is closer to neighbors than anticipated, however it wasn’t an issue in any way.
