Cottage vacation rentals in Syracuse

Seldom, do you find a place where time stands still, the host is warm and welcoming and the location is beyond beautiful. This was our stay at Diane's cottage on the lake. We hiked local parks, kayaked the lake, enjoyed wonderful food, shopped and took in the view. Diane and her extended family were open, warm and delightful. Our regret is we didn't stay longer. Should we ever return, we will definitely stay at the cottage. Our many thanks and blessings to Diane and her family for making our stay remarkable.

We had the best family get away!! Great views from the house, kitchen has everything you need, the hot tub and fire pit were awesome bonuses and overall the place was excellent! We rent a lakefront getaway at least twice and year and this one was one of if not the best places we’ve stayed! Hosts are super nice, quick to answer any questions you have, and check in/out were super easy. And if you’re bass fishing, this is the perfect spot. 11/10!!

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

I would definitely stay here again. The place was safe. The yard was fenced. The entire home was well stocked. I truly felt at home.

Very beautiful home! Amazing view of the lake, along with nice amenities and plenty of space!!! Very update to date and clean home and a perfect place to stay , especially for a weekend getaway!!

beautiful place to stay very friendly hosts great family atmosphere

Great spot for a group trip! We had a wedding nearby and it was a great spot to have fun both at the house and nearby. Hot tub was great. Only issue was that it was really cold when we got there and it took a while to heat up.

Mary was an incredibly gracious and accommodating host. She has a lovely cottage amidst a very private section of the lake and we felt we had all we needed to enjoy our peaceful retreat.

Very attentive host. Provided great recommendations of local establishments. The place is very well kept and described perfectly. If I am ever in the area I would stay here again.

Great time on the Lake. Had horrible cold rainy weather (haha June 1 mind u) but still managed to have a good time. Jesse is a responsive caring host who has a great little cabin (camp) directly on a very beautiful lake.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, we just needed a place to stop for the night, but Michele’s place was so beautiful and cozy we will definitely be back if we’re visiting the area again

Frederic's home was lovely, but what stood out was the beautiful lakefront with private dock. Frederic was very easy to work with and extremely responsive to all my questions.

We absolutely loved staying at this cute cottage! It was peaceful and relaxing. Excited to book our next stay!

Airbnb was a perfect place to stay while we visited the area – even on a rainy day the lake looked beautiful! Listing was as described and the host was super responsive.

The Little House is in a perfect location, near scenic trails and some of the best restaurants, wineries, and breweries in the area. Communication with Hannah and Dustin was great, and they recommended some local spots and even places in another nearby town we were staying in the night before checking in.

My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay at the lake house. It was beautiful, peaceful and had the perfect view. Will definitely visit again!

We loved our stay. Everything was just as described. We would definitely stay here again! David and Betsy were extremely accommodating and the bottle of local wine was a really nice touch! Thank you!

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!

This cottage provided the bedrooms and baths that we needed in addition to a beautiful view of Lake Ontario. The open floor plan included a full kitchen, a large table for dining and a living room area. We appreciated the convenient parking.

We had an amazing stay at this lovely lakeside cottage! The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, going out of her way to meet a special request—truly above and beyond. The cottage was spotlessly clean, filled with cheerful, cozy decor, and bathed in natural light all day. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning and created such a peaceful, calming vibe. We instantly felt at home. The location is both relaxing and full of things to do—great outdoor adventures and fun indoor options nearby. A perfect escape, and we can't wait to come back!

We stayed at this cabin in the Finger Lakes for two nights and overall had a good time. The location is beautiful, with lovely views of the lake (especially at sunset) which we really enjoyed. It was a peaceful spot, and our family appreciated the chance to unwind. The cabin itself was cozy and had the basic amenities we needed. It was clean, and the check-in/check-out process was straightforward. It worked well for the couple of nights we needed. The proximity to Ithaca and other small towns was definitely a plus and gave us a few nice options for exploring the area.

This was the first time our family decided to get an Airbnb instead of booking a hotel and it blew us away!!!! This was the best travel experience we have ever had! Amazing location, perfect little beach town nearby, space for everyone ; we will definitely be back!!!

This was the third year staying at Erica’s, and each time has been great. After a morning of fishing it is nice to return and relax on the waterfront. The house has plenty of room for 3 couples. The house is very comfortable, everything was ready for us when we arrived. Erica reached out to make sure we had everything we needed and that our stay was going well. Great Host and a great house
