It was our first time at Owasco Lake. We spent a week at the cottage for a family get together & everyone loved it. The house is actually more spacious than it looks in the pics. It has a great open feel with views of the lake from everywhere! We kayaked, paddle boarded, enjoyed both the fire pit & the grill. There is also an entire shed full of fun lawn games, our favorites were corn hole and croquet! In town we went to a farmers market one day and also a Thursday night food truck thing at Emerson Park that had live music! It went by way too fast, and the hosts were great with quick responses to anything & everything! I definitely recommend staying here.

This home is as described on a nice size property with an amazing dock perfect being right on the lake, ample parking, and fire pit, chairs, a large deck, propane grill. The outside was all we could ask for and more. House is updated in large living area with modern furnishings. We have six staying so did find the kitchen small, however fully stocked with everything needed. Upstairs slept 4 however they are not 2 separate bedrooms which was fine for us but I would mention that in case it is important to your stay. Owners communicated fabulously and we loved the lake being less deep which meant warmer for our stay. Highly recommend!

Great communication. Spectacular location right on the water. Quiet. Safe. Cozy. Fire pit is a bonus, everything provided to build a fire. Crackling fire along with waves lapping. A wonderful dock. Water fowl landings and take offs. Beautifully White Birch tree. Sunrises. The house is equipped and comfortable. So very comfortable. All electric switches are labeled. Plenty of ice in the freezer. Ceiling fans. Will be looking forward to our next stay here. Lauren and Jeff are terrific hosts.

We enjoyed our stay at Poplar Cove! The cottage is very cozy and has most amenities you might need. The view was a beautiful snow and ice covered lake... just what we were hoping for! The host was very attentive to our needs as well! Look forward to staying again!
