Modern lake house w/private lakefront, fire pit, kayaks, amenities, massive deck

Available Memorial Day & Labor Day 2026.

Sunny summer days, refreshing lake breezes, naps in the hammock, dinner on the grill, a front-row seat to breathtaking sunsets, evening bonfires = the perfect backdrop for some peaceful R&R, a family-friendly vacation, a romantic date weekend, a get-together with your friends, or any other reason you need to escape to upstate NY.

Our fully-renovated 3bd/3ba 2-story 2,050 sq ft lakefront home on Otisco Lake offers you a luxurious stay in the Finger Lakes.

Our slice of lakefront heaven and is complete with ~100ft of private lakefront, a spacious (and partially covered) house-length deck, private 60 ft dock, gorgeous views, and an open floor plan. Comfortably sleeps 10+.

Features our guests love: light and airy decor, new furnishings, multiple smart TVs, fast wifi, new luxury memory foam mattresses, and new stainless-steel appliances.

Included with your booking to ensure you have an effortless and relaxing stay: kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, a rowboat, fishing gear, yard games (e.g. cornhole, volleyball, badminton), a swing & hammock, a fire pit, a massive, private lawn (perfect for family gatherings), a new propane grill, a fully-stocked kitchen, bedding, linens, beach towels, central air (& heat), and other amenities.

Minutes away from our home: the Otisco marina and the Finger Lakes’ best restaurants, shopping, spas, wineries, distilleries, breweries, hiking trails, waterfalls, entertainment, farmer’s markets, fishing, water sports, ski / sledding hills, pumpkin / apple picking, and more.

We're a 5 min drive from Marcellus, 10 min from Skaneateles, 30 min from Syracuse, the Fairgrounds, and the Lakeview Amphitheater, and 1 hour from Ithaca.


Perfect for families, friends, reunions, a girl’s weekends, a guy’s trip, a romantic getaway, graduation visits, college tours, hiking / fishing / skiing trips, wine tours, intimate wedding receptions, and so much more.

Snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling and many other family-friendly activities are all nearby too. And of course, stunning views of the changing leaves, crisp autumn air, and a cozy fireplace in the fall!

With breathtaking lake views, your own private waterfront, a sprawling lawn, and boats available for rental at the marina if you want to access deeper waters or do some water sports, this is one you won’t want to miss. The fresh air, perfect location, and stunning sunsets are guaranteed to relax and rejuvenate.

** Please note that, as with every lakefront home, water temps / levels and lake conditions are dependent on recent weather, rainfall, etc. Depending on the season and time of year, it's 3ft deep at the end of the dock on avg but you can always use the kayaks and paddle boards we provide to access deeper waters, and/or rent a boat to enjoy water sports and all the fun Otisco's usually-warm waters offer. **

Please don’t hesitate to message me with any questions.

House was very roomy with a nice layout. Yard was larger than we expected. Lots of room to play games and just feet from the lake. We made use of the many yard games in the shed. We had a graduation lunch and parking was plentiful. And nothing beats an evening firepit lakeside. I definitely recommend.

Our visit was perfect! The house was very comfortable, and the lawn and porch were perfect to spend most of our time outside and for our kids to run around/be in the lake. It was great to have so many ways to enjoy the lake with kayaks, paddleboards, etc. Victoria was super helpful and so responsive to any question. Highly recommend this property!

Our stay was perfect! It was so lovely to wake up every morning to the lake. It was quiet and peaceful. There is a fabulous town called Skaneateles that is 10 minutes away - it had great restaurants and shops, wine store- it was a really beautiful town on the lake. Overall wonderful stay!

Relaxing time at a fantastic lake house.

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the spacious property. Despite the rains each day, we were able to enjoy the outdoors including the firepit and covered deck in the morning and evenings. Great local recommendations by Victoria. The property being quite close to the charming town of Skaneateles was a treat as we visited it a few times.

The house was great, the photos gave the illusion there were four bedrooms but it was listed as 3 so that was a little confusing. The bedrooms were all great , 3 full bathrooms made it easy for us to get ready for our family wedding in the area. The deck and many chairs in the yard were perfect for us all to hang out and have our hotel staying relatives to come sit with us and watch the kids play on the kayaks and paddle boards. It was a beautiful location and super hosts who were so helpful!

We enjoyed our stay on the lake. We really appreciated having the kayaks. With the ones we brought, it allowed our whole family to go out on the lake at once. The house is right off a main road, which I didn't realize. It made getting all our stuff into the house super easy. No long staircase to manage!

Otisco Lake House

We had a great stay at the lake house. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. We took advantage of the water craft that was available to us and explored the north end of the lake in the kayaks, rowboat and paddle board. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for cooking/dining at the house. It was a great location for exploring the area around the Finger Lakes and we enjoyed driving through the countryside and were able to visit some amazingly beautiful waterfalls in the area. Highly recommend.

I love Otisco

The place was perfect for our family. The renters clearly understand what it takes to rent a property. The took care of the big and small stuff, to make our stay enjoyable. The inside has been newly renovated. The outside lawn area, and porch are our favorite amenities. The property is on the far north side of the lake. This area gets alot of weed that makes swimming less than optimal. This is a common problem on otisco. For us, the trade off being a nice flat back yard area, was worth it.

watersports...not so much

We had a good time at this property. It was a good layout for our three couples, providing plenty of privacy for all. The deck area is where we lived for the week. The covered deck space was fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room table was perfect for our family meals. We have stayed on Skaneateles and prefer that lake because the water is much more accessible for kayaking and fishing. The weeds on this section of the lake make it difficult (not impossible) for most water sport activities. The absence of water at the property's dock made launching and using our kayaks a bit of a slog. But if you simply want to enjoy water views and read a good book, this property is perfect for that.
