About this cottage rental
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. Short walk to local lakeside restaurant and marina. This is perfect for getaways with friends and family vacations.

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. Shore includes a seasonal (May - October) new in 2025 aluminum 24ft dock, which can be used to swim, dock a small boat, launch paddle boards, etc.

House was comfortable, clean and perfect for our family weekend. The view is exceptional and we enjoyed the use of the paddle board and kayaks.

We loved staying at the cottage on beautiful Owasco Lake and will be back! The owners were incredibly responsive to any questions we had and the cottage was so well stocked with anything you could possibly need. Perfect for a couple or larger group. Highly recommend!

6 / 10Average·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.
