Visiting NY from Texas
Old home, lots of character, needs updating tho in the bathrooms. Only working shower is in master. Washing machine was broken so we had to go to town to do laundry. Kitchen had ant infestation how’re in the country this wouldn’t be unexpected. The front living room was wonderful!!’ The view was fabulous! A bit pricey for what it was. Owner is lovely!

Beach Week 2023
We have spent our summer vacation at Sunset Haven for several summers. We always enjoy our week there. Chris makes sure that everything is ready for us. We love the space, the lake at our doorsteps, the fire pit and the camp itself. It never disappoints us. We are looking forward to our Beach Week 2024. Thank you, Chris

Family "Beach Week" 2022
Every year we say 'this is the best year yet at Sunset Haven'. We couldn't ask for a more relaxing week. Chris always sees to it that everything is spotless and ready for our arrival. We look forward to another week at Sunset Haven next summer.

Perfect location
This house is in the perfect location, has a nice yard, and beautiful view of the lake and sunset. However; the house is older with many of the rooms having worn down carpet and very creaky floors. BUT the reason that I will not return to this house is because of all of the SPIDERS!! I would recommend that the owner get an exterminator to treat the inside as well as the outside of the house. The amount of spiders made it very difficult to relax in the house and almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep. With that being said, Chris was very nice to work with so if spiders do not bother you, I would recommend renting his home.

Beach Week 2021
As in the past, our annual Beach Week was just as we had hoped it would be. In spite of the weather, we had a very exciting view of the spectacular thunder storm that came across the lake , and on Friday the big waves on the were a lot of fun for everyone. As usual, Chris made sure everything was ready for us to have another terrific week.

Atmosphere and location was awesome. I would give it 3.5 stars. House was clean. Owner was responsive. Access to the lake was spot on. Great amenities. Big issue was no air conditioning. While it was a mild week, the house was still warm. We enjoyed our stay over all.

Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Haven. We were worried about having no AC but there were a ton of fans (like, a lot). There was also a nice breeze with the windows open most nights. The house is close to the main village and I think that would be nice for families or groups with kids. We enjoyed that there were kayaks at the house, as well as all the kitchen tools we would need, a grill and fire pit. We enjoyed the lake and dock quite a lot. Wifi was strong. We also were happy to see that the TV had Roku so we could login and watch our apps. It was a very relaxing week and I wish we could have stayed longer. With that said, I can’t leave out that there were an extensive amount of spiders and cobwebs. Understand that the house is on a lake in the middle of summer but ideally that would have been a bit more taken care of. One room had 7+ spiders/webs so if you’re squeamish you might want to double check that those are taken care of ahead of your stay. Chris was very communicative and responded quickly.

Beach Week 2020
This is our 3rd summer at Sunset Haven. We hesitated on going because of the virus, but Chris assured us that the camp would be ready for our visit. As usual, we found the camp immaculate and had a wonderful week. The weather was perfect, the lake was great and the camp felt like home. We are all looking forward to Beach Week 2021. Thank you, Chris.

Breathtaking view, spacious, great family vacation place
Our family (2adults, 2 teenagers) spent 2 weeks at Oneida lake. One week was still working remotely while kids enjoyed the shallow water to play water games or go kajaking or ride the bicycle in the neighborhood. The location is great, a little outside the Sylvan beach centre (off the crowds) but still easy accessible. We mostly cooked at home - easy with the well equipped kitchen and grill outside, and got some wonderful pies at Eddies! The movable picnic table outside was our breakfast, lunch and dinner spot, always moving either into shade or sun, depending the time of the day. Also relaxed with a book on the lawn chairs, or enjoyed some badminton on the lawn. The inside is comfortable as well with all the recliners - and the screened in porch was very helpful at night. As others mentionned, there is no AC but if closing windows and shades/ curtains early in the morning it can be managed. One thing to mention which could be disturbing to some, route 13 is relatively close and the traffic is noticable, especially with open windows in summer. We actually all brought our instruments to practice (guitar, flute, saxophone) and it was a great thing to have a piano on top of it to play, All in all a great time, wonderful sunsets and beautiful area to explore around Oneida lake (according to my husband also great for back country bicycle rides) - oh and did I mention Erie canal and green lakes hiking/swimming?

Beach Week 2019
This was our 2nd year at Sunset Haven, and we couldn't have had a better time. Even with a few thunder storms in the area,, they only made great waves on the water for the kids to play in. Chris was very gracious and was there to help anytime he was needed. We hope to spend our "Beach Week" vacation at Sunset Haven again in 2020! Great fun, great campfires, great memories.

Sunset Haven is an accurate description for this property
We enjoyed the home, yard, lake and amenities included very much. All the comforts of home with amazing sunsets!! The owner Paul was very hospitable. The only negative was no A/C but there were plenty of fans.

Our family Beach Week 2018
Our family has always spent our week at Sylvan Beach close to the center of town and in a camp right on the public beach. This year we stayed at Sunset Haven. The difference was amazing. We had the most relaxing and peaceful vacation in many years. We loved the shaded yard, which allowed us to enjoy so many family games, the fire pit, which we used every night, and especially the lakefront camp itself which was large and comfortable. Chris, the owner, was most gracious and helpful in every way. We had a great time!

Beautiful home. Great location.
We had an excellent week the first week in July. The weather was hot and dry for the most part. My grand children had a ball swimming in the shallow sandy water. The only negative is that there was no air conditioning anywhere in the home. We had some pretty hot days and nights and sleeping comfortably was a problem. Fans just weren't enough. We were able to anchor our pontoon boat right in front of the house. We watched fireworks every night from all around the lake. I recommend this home as long as the forecast doesn't call for 90+ degrees all week.

Very comfortable home away from home.
Perfect for a large family gathering. Never knew about Oneida Lake and how safe it is for children. Big yard made for lots of fun.
