Amazing views

It was very relaxing. The place was very clean and accurate described. Ann Marie was very nice and very helpful. She willingly shared her knowledge and her grapes and plums as well. The only disappointment was not being able to catch a salmon. One day I will. The place itself is all I expected from a cabin on a lake. And for us the stair climb wasn’t that difficult. Loved the use of the rowboat and canoe.i definitely would stay again. We enjoyed.

Cayuga Lake Bay

This was a good value for the price. I was looking to place to relax and unwind and that happened. The property is rustic. It is on a very fast moving road with trucks going by. Its not really safe to walk along the road. There is walking available a few minutes drive down the road in Cayuga at Harris Park. The host was helpful. The parking is very exact. Make sure you get specific instructions about where to park before you arrive. If you have trouble climbing a ladder, the top floor with a double bed will be very difficult to access.

We had a lovely time at the cabin. Swimming in the lake was really great, especially during the really hot summer days. The sunsets are really beautiful on the lake.

very nice lakeside cottage

There are many positives to this property, and a couple of negatives, at least with our lifestyle. Positives include the owner (who lives in the house next door). What a delightful person to chat with. We loved the porch, all the chairs available to sit and enjoy the view, the access to a canoe, and the cottage itself. Everything that the owner could control we thouroughly enjoyed. The negative for us (living in rural PA) what the distance from the cottage to the road. The road is the major north-south route on the eastern side of the lake, and even though it was quiet at the cottage 85% of the time, trucks did use the road, and we all know how load some trucks can be. The evenings were very quiet. Early morning you could hear the road becoming more active. Overall a very positive experience. Our dog settled in very nicely and to sum - up the review, yes, we would stay there again.

Just What We Needed

We were looking for a simple home to enjoy the lake and outdoors and local Finger Lakes offerings. The home was clean and has everything you need including an outdoor grill and picnic table on the deck, a small dock and a row boat and canoe that we enjoyed, not to mention lake breezes and gorgeous sunsets. Our adult children had a blast with some of their friends on the water, having a bonfire and visiting local wineries. The home is near Aurora and Skaneatles for local shopping, antiquing and gorgeous views. We spent a lot of time at a park in Aurora which became my running route daily. It was a short drive away. Anne Marie is nearby to give tips and to ask questions like where is the closet Walmart. There is also a small grocery store, dollar store, gas station and laundry mat nearby in Union Springs. The house has interesting history if you appreciate things that are historic. It was fun to stay there with the knowledge of hundreds of years of history happening. We would definitely rent there again.

Lovely home with views on the lake

AnneMarie was the perfect host! She greeted us when we arrived and gave us an overview of the cottage and general info. We had our daughter and 18 month old granddaughter with us and AnneMarie even brought toys over for her❤️ AnneMarie even lent Eric a fishing pole! She shared the grapes and apples from her yard as well. She was a Wealth of information for places to eat or shop. So very kind ! The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. We did bring our own linens. Kids will love the loft! Fishing off the dock or on the boat was great. But oh those sunsets!!!

More minuses than pluses for seniors

Minuses - Limited parking, VERY steep stairs to upper floor and balcony, SMALL shower; due to bad weather and flooding prior to our arrival, dock was unavailable for most of our 12 day stay. Pluses - Convenient location but lots of road noise from traffic. Definitely would not recommend for seniors.

Great Cabin on the Finger Lakes

We had a wonderful time at Camp Onondaga! The cabin is clean and well maintained. The stairs to the loft take a little getting used to but eventually you get the hang of it. Swimming in the lake is absolutely wonderful. The lake is shallow where the cabin is located and it gets deeper very gradually. Plus the lake water is fairly warm, so it's easy to get in! I also appreciated that the row boat and canoe were in great shape, which so very rare these days. To top it all off, fishing on the lake is a lot of fun. There are plenty of fish to catch and even observe.

Nice stay

While my family and I had a great time, I was a little thrown off when we first arrived. As soon as we got there I was questioned on the amount of people and weather or not I paid the pet fee. We were also informed of a mishap with the oven and was told not to use it. As there were 5 adults and 3 children we had already planned out most of our meals and brought the food we would need to limit shopping trips. After getting settled it took my husband not even a half hour to clean out the oven so that it could be used. My family and I still had a nice time despite those issue.
