The cozy Crooked Cascade Cottage is on the west side of Owasco Lake, providing guests with amazing morning sunrises while you enjoy your coffee from our deck. This three-bedroom, one bathroom, two story cottage can sleep 5-6 comfortably and features access to the lake via stairs or steep pathway, has a seasonal wooden dock, and is near local hiking and state park.

Shoreline is approximately 15’ and is nestled between two neighboring cottages, look for our red fire hydrant to know you’re at the right shore.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
The lake cottage has a welcoming feel. The living room has a gas fireplace and comfortable couches and a beautiful view out the sliding glass door to the lake. The eating area is comfortable and the kitchen very user-friendly. We had a small dog who was quite at home. The house was so clean and there were welcoming touches throughout-- snacks, coffee, essentials toiletries, filtered water in fridge. We had a lovely two-night stay but could have easily stayed longer. The stairs to the bedrooms are steep and narrow so people with mobility issues may have trouble navigating. My husband and I are 68/69 and felt comfortable since the bathroom is also upstairs. Lovely place!

Went up for a fishing trip in fall. Fishing was a little tough given low water conditions. But Erica was great gave recommendations of where to eat. Was available by phone for this non tech savvy old guy. Place was great very short walk to lake. Views were awesome. Very accommodating. Everything we were looking for.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2025
The good:Communication with the host was excellent and informative.The house was clean and it had a very quaint atmosphere.Everything we used worked.The not so good: these are things the host has no control over to fix, but it would have been nice to know before booking.Water smelled like rotten eggs. From my childhood I would say this was a well with sulfur.Water pressure in the bathroom was a trickle. Do not try to take a shower if someone just flushed.The staircase was narrow and steep. It would present a significant obstacle for someone with mobility issues.
