Holiday rentals with a kayak in Owasco Lake

What a wonderful 4-day stay in a perfect cottage for my 3 middle aged daughters and me on our “girls’ trip!” The house had everything we needed and was perfectly located for our visits to wineries, breweries, Watkins Glen State Park, Ithaca, and many other places in the Finger Lakes region. We loved our evenings by the fire pit with the stunning lake view and beautiful sunsets. The comfortable seating on the covered porch made our one rainy evening enjoyable, and we continued to have fun in the sturdily built game room which became our “safe place” during an unexpected tornado warning! Jaci’s communication was great, and we highly recommend staying at this lovely cottage!

Was a great location, close to everything we wanted to do, 10-15 mins from golf courses, 10-15 mins from casino. Backyard was just big enough for lawn games/activities, hard to beat being right on the water for the price

Great location and having the kayaks and canoe was so nice, but we caught most of the fish right from the dock. Highly recommend this place!

I have stayed at the lakehouse for many years now and have always had a great experience. Amy keeps the house up well and every year there is an upgrade/renovation to look forward to. This year we enjoyed using the pedal boat, basketball hoop, dart games, and the many games for our toddler. The yard is perfect for our husky. We also enjoyed the local activities, including Green Lake State Park. The house is also clean and well kept, and Amy communicates well for any issues that may come up. We look forward to visiting again next year!

We were just so happy with the home as it did feel like we were right at home. We had six adults and there was more than enough room. The location was ideal for getting around Seneca Lake. Being right on the lake, it was a beautiful view and the hot tub was super. We would not hesitate to return to this property as we do love the Finger Lakes.

The house is small and cozy, perfect for a couple. We loved it. The sunrise looking out the living room windows is phenomenal. The views of the lake are great. Non-stop fish jumping in the lake. Fishing from the dock was good. Caught a bass by the dock.

This a great option for a house on Cayuga Lake - big enough to accommodate multiple guests - and allow for cooking. Easy proximity to Ithaca a plus. Also the lake access via dock and kayaks. We had a writing retreat that was inspiring - and great hangout time with friends.

What a beautiful location and very nice house. We didn't have any issues at all and hope we can come back in the future. The lake water was too cold for us to want to swim but we enjoyed the Jacuzzi and played card games on the balcony. The weather in June is perfection, the wineries and State parks nearby were so great, and the house itself had everything we needed. Thank you so much, Kate!

"Our stay at Alec's place was great! Very spacious, right on Lake Keuka, close to wineries, breweries and distilleries. Alec was very communicative when we had a power outage due to a bad storm, and kept us updated on when it was going to be back on. He was very supportive in answering all of our general questions as well. Highly recommend staying here and would stay here again"

Highly recommend. The house was clean, exactly as described, comfortable for family of 5. Amazing lake view from house and only few steps to lake. Perfect place for sunset view over the lake.

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

Loved the location! Even with having the max of individuals able to stay we felt comfortable. The water access was perfect and we were able to enjoy a peaceful weekend away!

Our stay was great! The neighborhood was beautiful, and the cottage was very nice.

The place was very clean and everything was as described. Dustin was very responsive before and during our stay and answered all the questions we had very quickly.

This property is magical and after two years of visiting, has quickly become my favorite spot in the Finger Lakes!!! The house is well appointed with all of the little details considered and executed on for guests (seasonings, food storage containers, firewood, hooks to hang your personal items in the bedrooms and bathrooms, throw blankets, etc.). As soon as you step in, you feel right at home and the lakeside fire-pit and view from the top wraparound deck are serene and beautiful spots to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine. We saw herons and eagles daily from the deck and if you kayak to the nearby cove, you can enjoy more birdwatching if you love nature like us!! The lake entry is easy to get in and the landscape and property are in pristine condition. Can’t wait for our next visit!!

We loved the cabin spent Mothers Day weekend with my family and Grandkids...we definitely would stay again the view is beautiful and the sunset everything meant all our needs

John is the perfect host, I felt like a V-VIP. He made sure I was comfortable and was over and above helpful with every last detail. He has bikes for guests to get around on and would graciously pick me up when I got stuck down hill. He helped me with fires to enjoy the starry night sky, and escorted me to the cabin when I got back late after a wedding party. The cabin is delightful and serene, on the edge of his property looking into bright green trees. He’s got it set up for barbecues and has even put out sticks for marshmallow roasting. A cute outdoor shower, and an eco-toilet cabin behind the room. I enjoyed swimming in the lake, doing hikes at the National reserve & on the property, watching the cows on the pasture, star gazing, & trying out the local eatery spots. I highly recommend this elevated glamping experience with a host that will do anything in his power to make sure you’re happy.

This cabin was even more wonderful than we imagined! It's absolutely adorable. Lindsey & Perry put such care into furnishing, decorating, and making their guests feel welcome. It was fully stocked with everything you could need. The location was simply perfect. The lake is so peaceful and serene. We spent the days exploring and hiking in Watkins Glen and Ithaca, and spent the evenings on the dock. I can see why other reviewers have mentioned returning time & time again... I didn't want to leave!

Cozy and quaint cabin, literally feet off the lake. Perfect for my husband and I to escape to for a few days to relax and reconnect. Nancy was great, very informative, and flexible to our needs. A great get away spot for couple!

Check in was easy and Sarah provided excellent directions to find the house. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the fire pit, the kitchen was well appointed and the surrounding area was quiet. Even though it was hot out, the house is in a woodsy setting and stayed cool. The AC in both the upstairs and downstairs worked really well. I would stay here again, it was so relaxing.

We really enjoyed our stay at Todd’s place! It has a rustic feel and offered everything that is promised in the listing. Todd was super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our experience and was quick to respond to any calls or texts. I would highly recommend this place to anyone considering a visit to the lake Oneida area.

Great Stay Great Cabin! Everything was clean we felt comfortable there. The hot tub was great after the 2.4 mile walk at Watkins glen. It was too cold for us to kayak but it was nice sitting by the water and chilling. Loved the sound of the water at night.

The cabin itself was peaceful and quiet. Definitely the place to go for a relaxing time! Sherry was also very easy to communicate with and so kind. We hope to be back!

The bed was very comfortable. The cabin is sweet and cozy with all that you need including fridge and coffeemaker and electric teapot. The shower was great too. We loved sitting on the front porch in the morning sipping our coffee and watching the sunrise. We also took advantage of the lakefront to go kayaking one morning. Thank you, Heidi and Kevin, for being good hosts.
