Private Level Beachfront, Fenced Yard, Boat Dock,Kayaks,CentralAir, Great Views!
This finger lakes home has spectacular views of Owasco Lake from every room!! Because the house is situated on a point,there are breathtaking views of the north end, south end and east side of the lake. One of the greatest aspects of this home is the level lake frontage, which is pretty hard to come by in the finger lakes area. There are no stairs to worry about to get to the water or the house, so bring the grandparents and the kids! The spacious deck on the house is literally two or three feet from the water's edge and the 125' of beachfront gives you plenty of privacy. A lovely enclosed porch runs the whole length of the house. There is a nice grassy side yard for games/play and a privacy fence surrounds most of the lawn without blocking the view.
With approximately 2000 square feet, the house has a very comfortable feel to it. The large living room which also runs the length of the house on the lake side has beautiful hardwood floors and a stone fireplace. French doors with sidelights open onto the porch. There is a formal dining room that seats 10 but there is also a dining table in the porch, along with a wicker seating area. The entire house is filled with classy antiques, beautiful quilts and linens, and is very tastefully decorated.
There are four bedrooms and two full bathrooms with tubs/showers. A bathroom is on each floor. The large bedrooms has a queen bed, two other bedrooms each have a double bed and the 4th bedroom has two twin beds. Two 'rollaway' beds (like cots with mattresses that are portable) can fit in any of the bedrooms. The fully stocked kitchen is large (approximately 20'x14') and has just been recently remodeled! It now has hardwood flooring to match the rest of the home, new gorgeous granite countertops with plenty of counter space, new light maple cabinetry, plenty of recessed lighting, and all stainless steel appliances including a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Our gourmet kitchen also has basic appliances such as a toaster, blender, garbage disposal, mixer, and coffeemaker. All kinds of cookware, dishes, utensils, and gadgets are provided. The house is on public water and sewer, has cable TV and a DVD player, and also high speed wireless internet. A first floor laundry is also a plus! Linens are provided, but are not your responsibility to wash for the next tenants.
Central air is key for sleeping on those sultry summer nights. Many folks enjoy sitting on the porch at night with the windows open (have screens) and listening to the relaxing sounds of the water. If you like daytime water activities, it is only about 3 feet deep near the end of the dock and just gradually gets deeper further out. It's a great spot for kids and adults alike. Weeds are scarce in this part of the lake, which results in a much more enjoyable swim! The large deck has comfortable seating with a table and some lounge furniture along with a gas grill. If you don't have a boat, one can be rented at one of the three different nearby marinas and kept at the dock. Two kayaks are kept in the garage for you to use along with life jackets as well. There is also a campfire pit located at the edge of the lawn/beach for roasting marsh mellows with the family!

Great location for hiking. Lovely porch and deck with lake views. One guest enjoyed the kayak! Comfortable parking for 3 cars. Kitchenware was fine for us to cook breakfast and some dinners. Host was communicative, pleasant and helpful. Vintage house is charming. Beds and lighting could use some attention.
What a delightful stay! The house and property are well maintained. Easy and quick lake access, which is also safe and adequate for kids of all ages. Various opportunities to enjoy the outdoors whether on the lake, on the lawn or from the screened in porch. The property is owner is easy to reach and super helpful. We've stayed twice and left rejuvenated and ready to reenter reality each time.
Location and home is exactly as noted and the owner was super responsive. Really enjoyed our stay with three young children. Plenty to do or just relax, many options. Will return for sure!
Our family, seven adults and a young child, stayed the week and had a great time. The house was comfortable for all of us and a short ride from many attractions. We enjoyed being right on the lake!
Wonderful house, right on the lake. Nice location, less than 10min to wegmans in Auburn. Had a heat wave and the AC was awesome. There were ducks straight chilling on the dock, it was super cute.
Owasco Lake was a lovely, quiet lake. Great for swimming and unwinding. The property was as comfortable, clean, and welcoming as it looked in the pictures.
The location of the house was very ideal, and right on the beautiful Owasco Lake! The hosts were very helpful and had great communication with us leading up to our trip. We would highly recommend this vacation house!
The house sits a few steps from the lake so very convenient to enjoy the lake. Very easy to accommodate our boat as well as paddle boards.
Plenty of linens and towels provided as well as a fully stocked kitchen.
Owner is very responsive for check in and any issues that may arise.
Had a great stay!
Great house. Very clean. Our kids enjoyed the kayaks and row boats, and we had a bonfire almost nightly. Lots of good outdoor space. The owner was excellent responding to any issues almost immediately. Overall I highly recommend both the property and the owner (she has other homes in the area as well).
We have stayed at several houses in the FL region, and this was by far the best. The house and property were a perfect size for 6 adults and 2 young kids. Great amenities, swimming and fishing, and rather private for a FL house. Might want to check the dishwasher - not sure it was working properly. Otherwise, all great!
The property was exactly as pictured and described. The location was ideal. It is close to Auburn and Emerson Park where there is a boat launch. Ample sheets, towels and blankets were provided. The addition of kayaks was most welcome and used every day. The one negative would be the condition of the deck. I believe some repair or replacement is warranted. Overall, it was a great week at the lake.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Owasco Lake. The house has both a screened porch and a patio, and is only a few yards away from the lake. There are many farms nearby so there were many flocks of geese that would land in the lake and along with ducks and their young were our evening entertainment. It's proximity to the city of Auburn with restaurants and grocery stores was convenient. The kitchen was great, has full cable TV and comfortable chairs. The host, Christine, is very responsive and awesome to deal with. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms is a little steep but overall it was a great choice and one we will most likely make again.
We had 3 generations at this lake house for a week. We were able to swim, kayak, fish, paddle board and bike. We also played games and put together a mystery puzzle on the deck that overlooks the lake. One morning I took a nice bike ride around Owasco Lake. It was a little challenging at times, and had great views especially on the east side of the lake. I was particularly happy that my 81 year old mom was able to kayak and swim at the property. There is a nice flat yard and easy access to the lake. There is a nice large table on the patio for eating outside, and also tables on the porch and dining room where you can eat. There also a nice park at the northern end of the lake which is just a few minutes away.
We had a wonderful weekend stay at this lovely lakeside cottage. And when say “lakeside” I mean 20 feet from the back porch to the lake shore! (No trudging up and down flights of stairs so typical of finger lake houses to get to the water!) Our 5 year old grandson had the time of his life collecting clam and snail shells on the shore, and roaming around the lovely shore-side, privacy-fence-enclosed lawn. The weather is still cool in this area at this time of year so we made good use of the fire ring (again, 10 feet from the shore!). Our party made good use of the two kayaks on the property.
The house is a hundred year old gem, well updated. (I had to chuckle about an earlier review complaining about small bathroom stall and a slightly off plumb porch necessitating a flat rock under the porch table to make it level - that’s the way they made them a century ago! The age of the house adds to the charm!
Christine was an excellent host, and very helpful and timely in her response to our questions. An enthusiastic thumbs up for this property. We made lovely memories this weekend!
We had a wonderful stay with our extended family! The location on the lake was ideal for swimming, fishing and kayaking, etc. It was a very relaxing vacation! We had plenty of room to gather for 7 adults and Christine was a very responsive host.
We had a great time again. Plenty of sitting room for our family of 7. The house is warm and inviting. This was our second time at this house and would definitely book again!
Close to Auburn and restaurants, grocery, marina and amenities. Fenced in yard was great for the two young children in our group. Shore was shallow, again great for small children but shore line is not sandy but small shells underfoot.
We got together with our family for the weekend and had a great time. Everything we needed was there to enjoy our stay. Right on the water and exactly as described. We would definitely go back.
Very enjoyable stay at this property. Great location with easy lake access, including a dock. Spacious, clean and comfortable accommodations. All cooking and cleaning supplies readily available. Owner is responsive and cooperative. Would gladly stay again.
A great rental house on Owasco Lake. Fenced in yard great for kids and adults. Availability of kayaks was great and a dock for renting a boat if desired. Check in was so easy and communication was prompt. Kitchen was very well stocked with necessities and the grill was great. The stairs to the second floor are narrow and steep, so something to consider for guests. Close to town, making trips in for meals or supplies easy. Could use a few updates, primarily the second floor, and window cleaning. Would definitely stay here again.
