The view of Owasco Lake from the Lake-house Retreat is spectacular! The cupola offers a unique perspective and view of the lake as well. Built in the 1800's, this house is set back on a large lawn across the street from the lake. The French doors of the main entrance open to a spacious front porch overlooking the lake. The charming and comfortable lake home offers many areas for relaxation as well as large and spacious living quarters.

Check-in on Saturday afternoon was very simple. The kitchen was well equipped, and we loved the outdoor gas grill. The windows at the back of the house need shades, because the sun really heated the house in the afternoons. And the lake was cool and clean- lovely for swimming and kayaking.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2022
Pros: Large house was very clean, plenty of linens and towels, close to wineries and stores, equipped with numerous games for both young and adult, Bluetooth speaker, great WiFi, VERY well stocked, plenty of paper goods, nice pool table with all the balls and cue stick, kitchen very well equipped with coffee pots, pots, pans glassware etc.,two refrigerators, ceiling fans, large porch, view of the lake from the porch is SPECTACULAR, impressive collection of lawn toys to play with.
Cons: Only one TV, locking mechanism on front door was too high for most people to reach, front door knobs very old and hard to turn, no Ring doorbell or smart locks or any sort of security camera type of door bells/lock on either front or back doors, entry can only be made using a key, doors could use touch up paint and hardware, hallway entry’s paint was peeling terribly. Very unsightly, Dining room chairs were mix matched, walls had terrible water stains, Billiard room ceiling showed previous leak damage. On the second day of arrival the ceiling started to leak. Owners quickly responded to our call and had a plumber come out. He arrived within 30 minutes. My husband stayed behind and was not able to join us on our winery tour. My husband stated that the plumber asked that we not use the bathroom until the next day which was Sunday. Sunday evening a family member used the upstairs shower and it leaked again. So we decided not to use the upstairs bathroom. This proved to be an inconvenience as there were 8 adults now using one bathroom to shower in. The other upstairs bathroom had a tub but no shower and my family and friends did not wish to use the tub. After the plumber left on Saturday a man arrived in a pickup truck accompanied by two huge dogs. My dog and I were playing and did not see the dogs until they started barking. I quickly got a hold of my dog and went inside. Later, the same man entered the home started playing with the light switches and left. Maybe the owners sent him. In either case we should have been informed that he would be arriving. The wall paper in the Master Suite was peeling in areas. I would not recommend renting this home unless the owners could show that the necessary plumbing repairs and water stain removal have been made.
