About this property

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.

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.

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.

Great place!

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).

Great House/Great Location

Great house for our girls golf weekend away. Eight of us has plenty of space and a wonderful time. The house has been tastefully redone. The back porch and deck were a hit at all times of the day. We were close to several golf courses and we stumbled upon a small festival in Auburn as a bonus. A great time was had by all.

Beautiful lake house!

My family had an amazing time at this beautiful house on the lake! From the moment we stepped inside everything was so comfortable and cozy. Everything we needed was available to us. The house is beautifully decorated and the views of the lake are breathtaking. Everyone in the family enjoyed it...from our toddlers to their great grandmother! We were lucky enough to make many memories here and can't wait until we can return!

Loved it!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Christine Izzo

Host profile image
We are teachers in the local area and live nearby. Since we have summer off we are easy to get in touch with to attend to any needs you may have.

Why they chose this property

We love the level beach and fenced in yard for the kids! And wow what views!! The water is nice and clean here with minimal weeds and a gradual walk out. We also love the enclosed screened in porch. Feels like you are on an island in there! It's also very convenient in that it is only a couple minutes drive to the city of Auburn.

What makes this property unique

Spectacular views, enclosed porch, central air, new kitchen but the character of a historic home.
