- "The property owner was wonderful to work with and extremely prompt with communication. The cottage is super cute and met our needs. There were only two of us for the two weeks except for 4 nights when my mother came to visit otherwise the limitation of one bathroom could’ve been an issue. The property was well stocked with essentials. Access to the main living area involves only one step. The road accessing the property is a bit challenging but navigable even at night. All in all we gave it a 5 star and really enjoyed ourselves."

- ""Lake Edge" is perched on a steep hillside about 50' over it's private beach. All 43 of the wooden steps to the water were strong and secure as we're the railings. Two scary switchbacks on the lane to the cottage we're really not as difficult as they appeared. The cottage is secluded. Adjacent neighbors were invisible through the trees, though we could hear soft voices. Perfect privacy in which to relax and unwind. The cottage is newly decorated with flat screen TVs everywhere. Great Wi-Fi. Very comfortable and functional. Great deck with a view across the lake. Best two-week vacation yet!"

- "We had a great time staying here. It was our first time visiting this beautiful lake and we were so close to town. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back!" - "Cozy, cute & clean. Erin & Dave thought of all the details & better stocked than most places we’ve rented over the years. Close to Skaneatles but once we got there didn’t need or want to leave. We basically spent our whole time on the beautiful boathouse deck. What a view! Great swimming off newer dock or walk-in from the beach & enjoyed taking out the kayak to explore. The stress melted away the minute we got there. Erin & Dave thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. Hope to return again soon!"

- "Tina has crafted a little piece of paradise directly on one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world and she doesn't stop there. She welcomed us, guided us through the property while explaining anything and everything. Then she left us alone while checking on us via text message so we weren't interrupted by phone calls and visits. The cottage was fantastic, the setting magnificent, the host was superb and our visit could not have been better. We're looking forward to our return! Thank you, Tina!"

- "I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. The house is beautiful and was more than enough space." - "Being that this was right on the water, and given my sensitivity to smells, I was very surprised that none of the rooms were musty! The lake was perfect for paddle boarding (we brought an inflatable paddle board with us) and the location a great base for many trips. Also surprised that the mosquitoes were not overrunning the place, as they always seem to like me best :(. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking. Host was available to answer questions and gracious."

- "We had a wonderful time! Would not change a thing." - "Beautiful views and a lovely beachfront! The lakefront cabin is clean and cozy and the hosts were amazing! We enjoyed our stay very much!!" - "What a great vacation spent on SKN this summer. Initial move in was pretty easy, parking is close and new steps are a big help. The Ottagano feels more like a home than a camp, its amazing. Outside laundry/wash room is extremely handy too. The outer decks provide stunning and ample views of the lake, great barbecuing and family area. The descent to the beach is very manageable and safe. Beach front area and dock are first rate, lots of room & 2 umbrella's with all the chairs you need and easy entry into some of the most spectacular water you will ever find. Breathtaking Sunsets are common place and the evening breeze through the trees are memorable. Stacey and I have given the Gilberts "Ottagano" a 5 star rating in every category! Thank you Susan."

- "My family wanted a secluded getaway where we could enjoy the end of the summer AND feel safe from covid concerns, and Serena's property PERFECTLY fit the bill. Serena was so quick to respond to questions, and had thorough answers to everything I asked. She worked hard to make sure we felt totally comfortable. The house was adorable and provided everything we could have needed for our stay, and the lake was absolutely GORGEOUS. We had the best time enjoying the beautiful, clean lake--we especially loved laying out on her large inflatable island! It easily fit four adults and was perfect for getting a tan while keeping cool. I cannot say enough good things about our entire experience, and I recommend it highly! Thank you for everything, Serena!"
