Summary: House was beautiful! Location great and close to Wegmans/grocery store. Owner was very kind and communicated well. Would definitely stay here again! 2nd kitchen was key for storage and cooking for large amount of people. Set up of house was bigger than it looks in pictures. We were all very happy with our choice!

Summary: We were celebrating a family birthday... had the best time loved the house lots of room

Summary: This worked great for the 5 of us. While an older home, it was clean, updated, and so well maintained. The view was exceptional and the location was perfect. We had a couple minor issues that needed the host, and the response was so quick and effective. No one had any complaints.

Rick W. Oct 14, 2024 09:29:16 PM

Summary: Our stay at The Annex was great. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the property - whether it was indoors or on the spacious front porch. The beach and adjacent Park were very nice, even in October. Planning to try to visit again next year!

Norm G. Oct 9, 2024 12:02:37 AM

Summary: It was a shame that the lake had an algae bloom. We learned that this happens every year around this time.

Dan O. Sep 30, 2024 03:43:57 AM

Summary: This house is just wonderful, The rooms are spacious and very nicely done. Everything is top notch including the host. Wendy is always available This is our second stay here, and there will be a third. The huge kitchen is a great gathering place. The house is right in front of the Lake with a spectacular view, and very quiet. But it's also just a short drive to Auburn's restaurants, and especially Wegman's. Great care has been taken to make the house comfortable and welcoming. It's a real treasure.

Summary: The house and location made for a great get away. We look forward to our family vacation every year and this location definitely did not disappoint. All 10 of us had a great time!

Summary: We had a very lovely week at the Annex house. Our weather was very good for all but two of the days when it was rainy. Our teenagers spent time on the dock and in the water. The water was very clear and warm and pleasant. Really not much of a beach at all at the house, however. it was a little disappointing, but we still managed to enjoy the area. It was great using the double kayak and the single kayak along with the lifejackets that were provided there. There were also several blowup rafts and a paddleboard that were very nice to use. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We also really enjoyed the view from the front porch of the lake. Living room was also very comfortable for movies in the evening. Lots of games and books at the house as well. Our host was very accessible and accommodating, and the house was well worth the money. Would recommend and stay here again!

Summary: The house is giant and we loved the front porch. The lake water is crystal clear and we really enjoyed our time in the water.

Christina N. Aug 7, 2024 08:27:23 AM

Summary: My family and I had a great time staying on Owasco Lake. This house is very large and easily accomodated 7 adults and 2 kids. One of the bedrooms is located on the ground level which is great for someone who can't navigate stairs. You have to cross a somewhat busy street to get to the lake which was fine for the older kids (11 and 15) in our party. The lake itself has very clear water and was shallow for perhaps about a hundred feet (great for kids) before it became deeper. We explored the lake using the provided kayaks and the iSUPs we brought, and rented a pontoon boat from the nearby marina for a couple days to explore further areas of the lake.
