I agree the view of the lake is stunning. The home was modest. The smell of a former smoker was not pleasant. We came home one day and I thought someone had been in the home smoking. It was that strong. The deck furniture needed some attention. It is outdoors and gets dirty but cleaners had not touched it so I needed to clean before sitting out.

Typical commercial property and absentee owner - anything to save a buck. Gas grill is 2 seasons beyond its useful life and is dangerous. 1 roll of paper towels and 1 1/4 rolls of toilet paper were provided for a 4-night stay. No shampoo was provided. Absentee owner would of course blame the staff for all of it.

Quiet and quaint
Overall this was a great place to stay. Clean, modern, comfortable, quiet. All the beds had new mattresses. Kitchen was pretty great. They even have a very good coffee maker, that made delicious coffee - for me this is a major win. I have stayed at so many places that cheap out on the coffee maker - not so here. (Major bonus points with me!!). We ate around the island several times. If the weather was warmer would have been nice to enjoy the deck and view of the lake more, but still had a great view through the picture window. The furniture was comfortable and clean, tv had plenty of choices through internet and apps. 7 minute drive to town, but the drive is very nice no traffic lovely scenery.

Family weekend at SUNY Cortland
We had a wonderful weekend visiting my son for family weekend. He only requested home cooked meals from mom and that’s exactly what he got. The kitchen had everything we needed for pots and pans , kitchen gadgets and appliances. Not a lot of serve ware but we made so. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the house. Thank you

Fall Getaway
We had a great time! The view from this property is fantastic!
The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We used the kitchen to cook one night and it was very well stocked with anything you need to cook dinner.
The deck has a very comfortable lounge with amazing views!
We had a question on how to adjust the thermostat and the property manager got back to us right away. Would love to rent here again.
The town is beautiful with amazing views throughout. Lots of great shops, restaurants, and wineries.

It was perfect
Myself and four friends stayed at this property for a fishing tournament at Otisco Lake. The property manager Samire was friendly, fast to respond, and was easy to work with. The house was clean, it was furnished with everything you need for your stay, it had a nice lake view, and the beds were comfortable.We would definitely stay here again.

Great property
Beautiful view of Skaneateles lake from the deck. Owner communication was quick and helpful. Went for a fishing trip and they were very accommodating for boat parking. Short drive to town of Skaneateles. Plenty of parking in driveway. House came equipped with everything needed for a trip (appliances, dishware, silverware, etc.).
