Vacation rentals with a kayak in Madison County

This cottage is awesome-such a classic! You are truly surrounded by water on three sides. It is quiet and private. We spent most of our time on the enclosed wrap-around porch; the place is a gem!

Randi is very easy to communicate with - she is super responsive and friendly. The house is close to Colgate- made running back and forth very easy. The house is peaceful, really well stocked with all your kitchen needs plus plenty of towels etc., all very clean, comfortable, neat and uncluttered, and in such a lovely setting, right on the lake. Highly recommend!

Darren's house on Oneida Lake is absolutely precious. It was very clean with lots of space in a quiet and peaceful location. Darren was very responsive and helpful. Family members commented they'd love to go back next year and stay at Darren's house again.

We enjoyed our stay on the lake as our yearly family getaway. We had age ranges from 1 to 65 and was great for all ages. The screened in porches are nice to enjoy the lake view. House had all supplies and amenities that we needed for our visit.

Nicole was extremely helpful and responsive to our needs before and during our trip. The house was perfect for our long weekend and we enjoyed as much time as possible on the back deck despite the rain throughout our stay. The lake and surrounding areas were beautiful and we can’t wait to return!

Fantastic experience! Easy to book and be in and out, all the amenities you ever want at a lake house! We had so much fun kayaking and canoeing and playing in the yard with cornhole and connect four. Hot tub was great, a very peaceful relaxing weekend. Enjoyed veggies on the grill outside and loved the beautiful, well appointed kitchenThank you, Eric! Appreciate all your help!

Great stay on the lake. Tom was a very flexible and responsive host.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake house! The snowy landscape and the frozen lake created a magical winter wonderland, making it the perfect getaway. The house itself was in a fantastic location, close to good restaurants and casinos, yet still felt private and peaceful. The fully loaded kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the board games were a great touch for cozy nights in. One of the highlights of our stay was enjoying s’mores by the bonfire, a perfect way to end the day. The views from the house were simply breathtaking, and the thoughtful amenities made our stay so comfortable. If you're looking for a place to relax, unwind, and make wonderful memories, this is it. Highly recommend!

Amazing area, amazing scenery, worth the money

Great host! Very responsive and accommodating. And the view of the lake was awesome!

We stayed in Lake Morain for a Colgate reunion and it was delightful! Significance more comfortable than our original plan of staying in the dorms. The house was cute as can be, very clean and perfect for 5 of us. Christian was very flexible too as our plans kept changing. We’ll stay there for the next reunion too!

We had such a nice stay! The cottage was absolutely adorable and bigger than we expected. It was beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, and Taylor thought of and provided everything we could need. The view of the lake was gorgeous. We planned on bringing our two dogs, but ended up leaving them home. Had we brought them, they also would have had everything they needed. We will definitely book again when we return to Hamilton!

We had a amazing weekend at Rosemary's cabin with our pups! The house was well appointed with everything you would need in the kitchen and a gas grill outside. It was larger than we expected and we loved the lakefront rooms with fireplaces! The location was beautiful and we loved paddling and fishing in the lake. Being able to stay directly on the lake was awesome and I thought the cabin very reasonably priced given the location. We were there Labor Day weekend and the lake was very quiet and the weather was quite cool. The neighbors were all very friendly and I highly recommend the restaurant across the lake. Looking forward to returning next year!

John’s “camp” was perfect for our small group. The location is great- the lake is literally right at your feet, and while this is not your “luxury” rental, it’s exactly as described. Has the necessities plus a little more- vacuum, towels, Lysol wipes, plates, cups, etc. The spiral staircase has …a learning curve… but kept us laughing all weekend! As a host, John was great- I felt confident that if any issues were to arise (they didn’t) he would make sure we were taken care of. He was accommodating, polite, and friendly as well. We would love to come back!

Rachel’s home was immaculate and had absolutely everything we needed. Hope to stay there again!

The place was bright and clean and had a really cozy feel we all were very comfortable and I would definitely go.

We had a lovely stay at The Sanctuary. It is a beautifully appointed house and a lovely spot. The photos do not do it justice. We were visiting our daughter at Hamilton College and it is actually a very easy 20 minute drive through beautiful countryside to get to and from. We hope to be back!

The cabin was exactly what we needed! It was just as described, incredibly clean, and well stocked! The neighborhood is very quiet and walkable with views of the lake across the street. Would highly recommend!

The Snowshoe Cabin is a peaceful, quiet upstate New York get away. Brian & Melissa are great hosts with easy directions & timely responses. The cabin itself is cozy and feels like home.
