Great Getaway

Lotta House was such a nice get away. We went in December so was cold. But still so nice to be on the water. Plenty of winery’s still open. House was easy to enter. Very clean perfect for two couples. Easy communication. You won’t be disappointed.

Girls wine weekend

Me and my bestie really enjoyed our stay and plan to come again with our significant others! The house was great. The beach was a perfectly quaint spot to chill and have a nightly fire. Picking seashells in the daytime is a must as well! There were so many places to relax and just unwind the name makes a lotta sense... The fact that there were multiple winerys so close by was the icing on the cake. Thanks for the hospitality.

Wonderful Home

This was the second time we stayed at this home. It was just as wonderful as we remembered, but with a major improvement. We were so happy to see that the shower had been replaced with a larger one. The house is so comfortable and perfect for our family of four. Our favorite part is the enclosed porch where we spent a lot of our time eating and playing games while enjoying a beautiful view of the lake. I expect that we will be back again!

Lake cabin

A great little cabin right on the lake. Very basic but had all the essentials. Perfect size for 2. Only one shower. Might be hard for capacity of 6.

Little slice of heaven

The cabin was absolutely adorable! Very clean and location was perfect for all what we wanted to do in the area. The beds were very comfortable and having the lake view was the icing on the cake. Quiet and so relaxing, and the full moon over the lake was perfection. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable stay on the Lake

This is a very cozy house! The sunroom is great and has an amazing view of the lake. The owner installed a counter in the sunroom and added a bunch of chairs. It was very relaxing having morning coffee and watch the lake come alive. Stairs are easy to navigate down to the dock and nice size beach. There is also comfortable yard space on the side of the house with views of the lake. We brought our camping chairs and enjoyed the view and shade from the house. The wall unit heating and A/C are perfect. When we arrived house was muggy and it quickly cooled off. The bathroom shower is tight. My 6ft husband did ok, but you are not likely to be able to bend over. Bedrooms are comfortable. I only bad spot as the cleaning staff, I do not think cleaned. The 1/2 bath off the kitchen light did not work when we got there (how did you clean if you cannot see?), The kitchen floor was grey/black dirty. The shower had some mold/dirt. We cleaned everything ourselves vs call the property manager and just enjoyed our trip. Overall this is very nice place and we look forward to visiting again!

Excellent time at Lotta Leisure!

We stayed for a week and had an amazing time. The place is at a great spot on the lake. Nice cove protected from the wind. The house is cozy, it was clean and the porch is amazing. The bedrooms were good size and the beds were comfortable. I would give the place five stars except for the shower and kitchen being so tiny.

Great with no surprises

Everything was as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked. We never sat at the dining room table, could not give up watching the lake from the screened in porch! Beds were comfortable, enjoyed the fire pit and sitting in the shade. Thanks for the Kayaks, I enjoyed the early morning calm waters. This house brought me back to my childhood spent in Trumansburg with vacations in a cottage on the lake.

The property was fantastic! Inside was clean and the house had plenty of room.

Experience was pleasurable. We had only wished we were able to get to kayaks but understood it was a few days prior to the season.
