Summary: This is a beautiful house with a lovely view of Owasco Lake. It was the perfect place for the annual reunion of 5 60-something college friends. Spacious and clean, it is well appointed and has a fully stocked kitchen. The large front porch has plenty of comfy seating as was perfect for morning coffee or afternoon drinks. Wendy, the owner, responded quickly whenever we had questions prior to our stay. If we ever return to Auburn we would definitely rent this house again.
