Great Stay!
Loved the house and Rick was great to communicate with and very responsive. it was a beautiful area. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain while we were there so we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we had hoped but we still had a wonderful time. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Great View from Casa Carmela!
We had a fantastic vacation in the Finger Lakes, and our stay at Casa Carmela was certainly a highlight. The view is amazing looking out over Owasco Lake and we enjoyed the use of the kayaks and boat. The house is in a great location to access western NY, the other Finger Lakes, and Syracuse. Wish we could have taken advantage of the ice cream and mini-golf up the hill, but maybe we'll be back in the summer months!

Beautiful Owasco Lake
Lovely spot on Owasco Lake. A wonderful and family friendly home to catch a beautiful sunset! The pictures don't do this property justice. A truly lovely location close to Auburn. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with.

Winter visit
We loved the incredible views of the lake from so many rooms and the size of the house. It was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed and was exactly as described. Riccardo was very helpful and easy to contact if we needed anything.

Christmas get together
We rented a house so that we could visit with my mom from Arizona, my children all local to Auburn, and my husband and I from Tennessee. We were able to celebrate Christmas as a unit for the first time in 21 years! The house was perfect for us and we really enjoyed the gorgeous views of the lake. We had an amazing Christmas gathering!!

Beautiful Views!
I spent a long weekend here with my husband and another couple when in town for a wedding in Auburn. The house was spotless and the views of the lake were amazing. The owner was very responsive and made sure we were happy and didn’t need anything. The house has code access which made everything so easy. No need to pick anything up or drop anything off. The house was comfortable and updated and clean. The beds were also very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property.
