3 Bedroom Cottage on Owasco Lake. Eastside and Pet Friendly!

Welcome to our charming 3-bedroom summer cottage nestled on the serene shores of Owasco Lake, boasting 100 feet of private lakefront. Recently listed as of May 2024, this historic 1000 sqft cottage has undergone a thoughtful renovation, blending modern comforts with classic charm.

Situated across two floors, the cottage features a spacious living room with soaring 18-foot ceilings and a door leading to a covered porch overlooking picturesque Owasco Lake. The porch is equipped with a ceiling fan, a dining table seating six, and a cozy seating area for 6-8 guests. Step outside to find a new Weber gas grill and four deck chairs.

A highlight of the property is the expansive 750 sqft patio just steps away from the water's edge. Here, you'll discover six deck chairs, a table with seating for four, and a fire pit surrounded by additional seating and a Solo Stove for memorable evenings by the lake. A short walk down nine stone steps leads to your private dock extending over 100 feet into the lake, perfect for docking your boat or jet ski, or simply relaxing by the water. Guests can also enjoy complimentary use of kayaks and paddleboards to explore the tranquil lake waters.

Located on the east side of Owasco Lake, known for its clear waters and stunning sunsets, the cottage offers easy access to local attractions. Just 35 minutes from Syracuse, 7 minutes from Auburn's town center, and 15 minutes from Skaneateles, guests can explore Finger Lakes wineries, hike the trails of Fillmore Glen Park, browse shops and eateries in Skaneateles village, or catch a Broadway-style show at the Merry Go Round Theater in Emerson Park.

Set on a spacious 3/4 acre lot with ample room for outdoor games, the cottage features a large front and backyard, along with a generous driveway for parking cars and trailers. For added peace of mind, a single camera monitors the driveway area.

Inside, the cottage comfortably accommodates up to six guests with beds arranged in three bedrooms: One with a king bed, another with a bunk bed, and a third with a full bed. The king bedroom is equipped with heat and air conditioning, and a closet. The double bedroom has heat and ac, a dresser, but no closet. The kids bunk bed room has a dresser, but no heat, ac, or closet. Keeping the door open to this room along with a fan helps to keep it comfortable.

Owasco Paradise
This was my third visit to the Finger Lakes and by far my favorite rental. The cottage was adorable and tastefully furnished. Great living space indoors, out on the porch, and by the lake. Had a hiccup on arrival that was remediated by fast responsiveness with the owner. The area was also my favorite of all the lakes explored. You are within 15-20” of everything. I will definitely be recommending this cottage to friends and family!

Beautiful property
Check-in and communication from the owner was awesome and easy. The home is perfect… right in the middle of a camp and a year round house. The property is huge with a very large dock that you can fish from… my son caught his first one! The beds are comfortable and we really loved staying there. We didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be booking here again.

Owasco Lake Cottage
Our excitement finding this Cottage, (available) for our dates, was only exceeded upon arrival. From accuracy of description, to cleanliness, & LOCATION!!!…(on a very private loop road). We could not have been more pleased. John answered all of my questions and offered insights into the area. We will certainly return. Thanks John!

Amazing Outdoor Space!
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful week at this cozy cottage. John is an amazing host who even shared his streaming service account so we could watch football! Everything is comfortable in the home with every amenity provided. We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor space, especially the chairs on the dock and kayaks! We’ve already booked our return stay for next year!9

Wonderful!
We had an absolutely phenomenal family vacation. The property and amenities were perfect. The cottage was set up amazingly well, with lots of thoughtful touches for optimum comfort. Our two labs loved the water and the property allowed us to relax even though they were with us. We will definitely be back!

All the stars!
This was the perfect place for a summer getaway! The house had plenty of room for the two of us, our adult children, and 2 dogs. We greatly appreciated the wall A/C units, as the weather was quite warm while we were there. However, we spent most of our time outside enjoying the water, the views, the fire pit, and the patio. We brought fishing poles - the fishing was great off the end of the dock! If you want to walk into the lake from shore, you probably want some sort of footwear, as it’s a bit rocky right by the edge. However, you don’t need them if you walk in from the steps on the dock, as the bottom is much softer there. Our host, John, was great - very responsive to the couple of questions we had and even mailed us an item we left behind by mistake. Very relaxing getaway cottage on a quiet and peaceful stretch of the lake. Would come back again!

Beautiful lakefront property
Beautiful property located on Owasco Lake. The lake front is amazing and the pictures reflect very well just how wonderful it is! Very peaceful. Shallow water area and large lot, great for children and dogs. Conveniently located close to Auburn and Skaneateles. Owner is very responsive. Great back porch where we enjoyed all our meals. Highly recommend.

We loved this incredible classic lake home
We celebrated my husband’s 70 th birthday party at this gorgeous lakefront home. It was open, airy, bright and clean. I can’t say enough about how pristine and roomy the home and property were for our family gathering. We have decided to return next summer for at least a week as this was only a 2 night stay . Loved , loved , loved this relaxing retreat!

A great find!
This cozy cottage was well kept, and the host was very accommodating and easy to reach. The views were amazing! We took full advantage of the kayaks and paddleboards, as well as the fire ring and new grill. The porch was also a perfect place to cuddle up and catch up with family on the rainy night. This is everything we were hoping for in a lake house!

An absolute gem
We left wishing we had stayed longer! The property was in good condition, the lake was particularly quiet, and we felt well-equipped through our stay. John was an excellent host and proactive in his communication with us throughout the process. Would return in a heartbeat.

Kids never once said they were bored
This is a true lake house. Property is right on the east side of the lake, water is crystal clear and sunsets are amazing. Where the property sits is almost in a cove with a rock bottom in about 4 feet of calm water. The cottage was as advertised, ample space for the people we had. It was clean and welcoming. The kayaks were an added bonus!!
