About this property

Unique Space-Great View, East side Sunsets a Plus -2 Nights or More

  • OWASCO LAKE VACATION RENTAL - PRIVATE SPACE FOR 1-2 GUESTS

    Unique private lake getaway located on the east side of beautiful Owasco Lake. Sleeps 2 maximum.

    Enjoy beautiful lake views, sunsets, and direct lake access. This is a dedicated second-level space of our home with a private entrance, one bedroom with a new Queen bed, private bathroom, and fully furnished kitchen. There are 13 steps to the rental.

    Privacy is very important to us. Self check-in means there is no need for interaction during your stay. We interact with guests only as much as they wish. Need local information or recommendations? Just ask. Otherwise, enjoy your privacy and your vacation.

    The lake is just steps away, but please understand that you must be comfortable using stairs to get to and from the lake and beach area. This property is not for everyone, and we want to be upfront about the stairs.

    Enjoy our lakefront dock, swimming, boating, kayaking and more. Four kayaks, a canoe, and a 14-foot aluminum boat are available for guest use. We also have a fire pit with firewood provided, plus a deck and gas grill.

    The kitchen is fully equipped; just bring your food. Coffee is provided. We supply clean linens, towels, hand soap, and basic kitchen and bathroom paper products.

    Great location for exploring the Finger Lakes. About 10 miles from Skaneateles and Auburn, 7 miles from Moravia and Fillmore Glen State Park, and about 40 minutes from Syracuse, Waterloo outlets and Seneca Falls. Wine trails, golf, hiking, biking and birding are all nearby. Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge is about 20 miles away.

    This is a quiet, private space best suited for one or two guests looking to enjoy Owasco Lake and the Finger Lakes at their own pace.

    Please feel free to read our reviews. They tell the story better than we can.

    Questions before booking? Just ask. We are always happy to help.

    Thank you for looking,
    Rod and Carmela

The glowing reviews are accurate. Lovely place, lovely hosts, lovely all around. Our trip highlight was kayaking into the sunset only to discover a nearly full moon rise on our way back to the dock.

We had such a great time for our two night getaway. The space was clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we would have needed. We spent the day on the dock, fishing, swimming, and relaxing. The view of the lake was so beautiful. We didn’t want to leave.

Restful View

Our studio rental was perfect! Comfy bed, great shower, and fluffly towels. The kitchen was fully equipped for preparing anything! Just bring the food, beverages and condiments. However, coffee and coffee maker was provided. The bathroom was sparkling clean! We chose to engage our hosts Carmella and Rod. We had a lot of fun talking about the area. However, they are very respectful of privacy if you prefer. We will be back!

Beautiful countryside oasis

Centrally located to 19 different water falls, it was the perfect place for my wife and i to become familiar with one another again. Away from the monotony of day to day life. Rod and Carm are wonderful hosts, you couldn't ask for a friendlier couple to be your host and have opened their space for all to enjoy. Oh and the sunsets are awe inspiring.

Lovely getaway!

We were the first guests of the season and our hosts were wonderful! The space is smallish and clean with a comfy bed and excellent a/c. It was just enough space for my husband and I. The apartment is right on the lake and has a fantastic view. Nothing is super close out there (as is the case with most of the Finger Lakes region), but there are some great restaurants in the nearby towns, beautiful state parks and tons of water activities. Highly recommend staying at Carmella and Rod's place!

Lake Get Away

We loved the location. Far away from any hint of city yet just a 20 minute drive from neat shops and great dining. The owners, Rod & Carmella, were awesome! The place is very clean. They were very generous with their space including use of the dock, kayaks and row boats. As their listing states...there is a lot of steps!!!! Totally worth the climb up and down to get to the dock! Vacation with a little exercise!

Weekend Wedding

Great stay and beautiful property. They weren't lying when they said it was the best view on the lake. Only 20 mins from Auburn, NY where we attended a wedding. A great weekend getaway and wished we could have stayed longer! The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. We cooked breakfast one morning and all the appliances were clean and working. The water pressure on the shower was great. Wifi worked and the space was very cozey. Definitely recommend!

Perfect getaway after SU drop off

Rod and Carm are wonderful gracious hosts. The room exceeded our expectations. Clean, light, airy, and comfortable. We read the description and reviews and knew what to expect with lake access. I’m stair phobic lol so was perfectly happy sitting on the deck to enjoy the breathtaking views. Looking forward to our next stay!
