Cottage in Tully

Lakeside Retreat

MelissaRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Loved this cottage! House was decorated in a modern meets the lakehouse fashion, it was very clean, and these hosts have thought of every little detail to enhance guests stay. The lake view and screened porch are heavenly! We stayed for a concert weekend at Beak & Skiff orchard, which was only a short drive, so the location was great.

Beautiful hidden gem on Otisco Lake!

RobinRating, 5 stars8 months ago

This rental was super cute and comfortable right on the water. We had a girls weekend and had everything we needed at Courtney's place. The cottage overlooks the water and it is a beautifully clear lake. Beds were very comfortable and everything was neat and clean. There are a few set of stairs to get down to the cottage along with stairs to access the downstairs living quarters/bedroom so just be aware of that. We saw Eagles over the water and heard owls at night...very peaceful and private. Tons to do in the town of Skaneateles as well and lots of great restaurants. We would certainly recommend this rental to anyone and are looking forward to coming back!

Lakeview country retreat

JaskanwarRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Dave was a great host, any time we had questions or concerns he responded immediately throughout the whole trip. Will definitely be returning if I am ever in this area. Great sound system throughout the house, very nice fire place in the living room with its stand alone surround sound system. Huge windows facing the lake that create a great vibe in the morning. Biggest thing is that the place was spotless.
