Take the 5/20 drive while exploring the wine country, rolling hills and the Finger Lakes Region of beautiful Upstate New York.

There is a dock, fire pit, and over 80 feet of private lakefront for you to enjoy! If you brought your fishing gear - catch some fish off the dock!

The lake is not swim-ready until mid-June unless you are a very hardy soul! Sit on the front deck and you may see our resident eagles. The sunsets from the deck are absolutely magnificent!
Rent a party boat from the local marina to tool around our beautiful lake and motor up to "lakeside vista" and enjoy one of our local eateries. You can bring your own boat and dock at the marina nearby.

We look forward to hearing from you! This one you don't want to miss offers time to connect and rejuvenate your soul...

Great Family Getaway
We had an amazing time for a family getaway. We spent a lot of time in the basement rec area using the pool table and dart board. The yard was large enough for cornhole and the deck areas were great sitting spots to watch the lake. We also had a fire one night. We rented a pontoon boat from the campground/marina right across the street so we could walk there which was convenient. House is well stocked and pictures are just as advertised. Highly recommend!

Family get together
Listing and pictures were accurate and we really enjoyed our stay. The house had an incredible expansive deck with great views of the lake. The downstairs had a game room, bar, movie theatre and a great place to hangout. I would definitely stay here again.

Great house!
House was very nice, basement great for kids etc. House on busy road, so watch the kids. Only 2 restaurants on the lake, but Skaneateles is 15 mins with plenty to do. Owners very nice and responsive. Great fishing on north lake side, house is on south end, which is cut off from main lake by a causeway, with a small "cut through" for boats to go back and forth, but not a long ride by boat.

Beautiful Home
Amazing home right on the Lake, we had 6 of us stay for my daughters wedding the house was perfect. I just wish we had more time to enjoy the hot tub and game room. We are planning on coming back when our schedule is a little less hectic.

Beautiful waterfront property
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely waterfront home with gorgeous windows letting in lots of natural light. The porch is beautiful and peaceful. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The lower floor is everything a person could want for family entertainment and the house was stocked with toys that our children enjoyed.

House of N.

Quick Family Getaway
The house and hosts were amazing. The hosts allowed us to change our dates when we experienced an unplanned family event. The house was beautifully decorated.When a snowstorm arrived, we decided to cancel our day trip and took advantage of the basement/game room. When we were not playing pool or board games, we were in the hot tub or watching movies in the theatre style seats.

House was beautiful and right on lake- easy to rent boat at marina a few doors down. Everyone loved the game room. Unfortunate it was too hot to enjoy the hot tub during our stay (record temperatures in upper 80s/ lower 90s. The theater room is a bonus; however, you need your own subscriptions to watch anything so we were limited to YouTube. Overall, there was plenty of space for our family of 8 in this beautifully decorated, sparkling clean home on the quiet peaceful lake Otisco.

First family vacation
This was our first family vacation in years and it was great! The house was exactly as described, spacious, well-appointed, well taken care of and had everything we could ever need and then some. The lake view (and access) were just incredible and the porch swing was a favorite for everyone. Our hosts were amazing-very friendly, very helpful and easy to reach/communicate with, really lovely people. We definitely recommend the house and them and will be back again.
