Immaculate, well appointed lake housr
Very clean and comfortable house. Our family did not feel like we were staying in a rental property. The lake is located in a picturesque valley. The location is convenient to dining and shopping in Skaneateles. The house is located at the southern portion of Lake Otisco. This part of the lake has a mud bottom which does make the water very murky. The host is very accommodating.

Better than advertized
We enjoyed kayaks (rare to have 4), cornhole game, swimming and gathering around the cute gas fire pit on the spacious deck. Good selection of board games. All as advertised and better. Note that there is no dining table (was not a big deal for us - we easily adapted; so many other things small and not that were great).

Loved the lake
This house was great for our family’s stay. We loved spending time out in the back yard and using the kayaks! The open kitchen was great for socializing while making meals. Host is very friendly. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great Relaxing Summer Vacation Getaway
We enjoyed our time at the Lake Otisco house. The house,location (steps from the lake), the views & amenities were great! Thank you for the S'mores treat basket! We enjoyed it several times at the firepit. Loved all the amenities in the house: indoor/outdoor games,kayaks,grill, hot tub and more. The store across the street was a nice bonus for fishing supplies, firewood, snacks, drinks,etc. We were happy to help the hosts with watering all the beautiful flowers outside too. Great place to go if you need to relax and get away from everyday craziness. Thank you!

Great Place for Finger Lakes Getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay here! A few years ago we stayed in a house on another lake that had a STEEP hike to get between the lake and the house, so this being just a few easy steps from the water was AMAZING. The house is very spacious, tidy, well decorated, and fully stocked with everything you need. The host was super communicative & accommodated all our needs! We loved being able to use the kayaks to enjoy some time on the lake as well as the yard games.
Just a couple things to be aware of:
when staying on this lake apparently water supply is limited so if you're with a large group you will have to spread out your showers. We were a group of 7 30ish year old women and had no issues with this, though.
Also, there's no central A/C so the kitchen area can get a little warm in the summer, but there are multiple fans available and each bedroom has its own A/C so you'll be nice and cool come bedtime.
Lastly, there is no dinner table inside. The counter is nice and large with several stools to sit on and there's a picnic table with plenty of chairs you can setup to eat outside. But no space for a "family dinner" inside.

Quiet house on Lake Otisco
We stayed at this house on Lake Otisco for the Syracuse graduation in May 2023. It was about 37 minutes from campus, and it was a nice quiet get away from all the hubbub in town. We had two young adults, two parents and three grandparents. Lots of nooks and crannies to relax in, the hot tub was great, and two nice family room areas. There’s a king bedroom and a queen bedroom upstairs that share a bathroom. Then there are five twin beds that are all in the same room, separated by a partial wall into two twins and three twins that share a powder room. Then downstairs there’s the extra family room and a full bathroom with shower. We also rented a boat from Lake Otisco marina which is right next-door and we had it all day, and it was perfect.
