About this property

Spacious Lakefront Home for Large Groups, 2 Acres, Central AC, Kayaks, Boat Dock

This home with waterfront is perfect for family reunions, extended families, or just large groups of friends! The east side location provides plenty of sunshine and awesome sunsets. There is a large two acre grassy lawn for kids to play and no neighbors on either side near the house. Since the yard is very spacious, you do have to walk approximately 100 yards (length of a football field) down the gently sloping property to the beach. The property gets more narrow towards the beach area where cottages get closer together. A stone driveway to drive to the water for people who can't walk this distance is located on the side of the property and cuts across the lawn near the waterfront. It is also used as a driveway/lane for cottages directly on the water. Kids can run and play, fly a kite, adults can have a volleyball game, play hoops, roast marsh-mellows, have a picnic, and take part in all kinds of water activities.

Inside, there is plenty of space to hang out together in the living room or family room. The dining room table seats 10 and table in the adjacent kitchen seats 6. Just outside the dining room is the deck which can seat 5 more or so. Many folks enjoy the piano room where they have singalongs with the family. There are also lots of nooks and crannies in the home where you could enjoy some quiet time away from the group. Of course, you could also do a little sunning at the beach while listening to the lapping waves, hang out on the new spacious deck there or relax in the lawn under one of the large shade trees.

The beach is all small flat rocks(shale) and has a deck and 45 foot dock. There are some stairs (approx. 20) from the lawn to the beach area. The new deck is about 1/3 the way down from the lawn. The water is very clean and there are no weeds in this area. It's crystal clear and you can easily see the bottom. It's a nice gradual walk out into the water and is about three feet deep at the end of the dock, which is great for kids- no drop offs. There are two kayaks with life-jackets for your use. For extremely large groups, we also own another home a short walk away with three bedrooms and sleeps 10 that you can inquire about. Auburn is only a quick drive (a few miles)away, so it is very convenient for shopping, restaurants, parks,etc. There are many things to do in the area depending on your interests.

The property is ideal for small children, lots of room to play outside, the lake is assessable and shallow for a good distance from the shore.The kitchen is well equipped for large family meals.There are interesting places to go and see There are 6 bedrooms and sufficient beds for the listed number of visitors.It is a comfortable, but not fancy property.It fully met our expectations.

Great space for family lake weekend

My partner and I wanted to bring our families together and we couldn't have asked for a better space! We were able to comfortably fit 16 adults and took full advantage of the large deck by the dock. We also definitely appreciated that there was a good amount of parking space- even fit a small rv!

We enjoyed our time at Owasco Lake. The house was well stocked with linens, cookware, dishes and cleaning products. The house does need some cosmetic detailing and upgrading. The large yard was perfect for our grands! The actual lake frontage is very small, but we made due.

Nice place. Very, very roomy. Compare it to a beach cottage. Beautiful view of lake. Thought we were right on lake, but about 150 yd walk. Not too bad. Def served our purpose. They're for State Hockey camp in Skaneateles. 100 times better than hotel !!! Possibly book again next year !!

Nice

We had a nice stay, I should have read it better I thought we were lake front so was a little inconvenient to walk down there and also not convenient to hang out at the lake, but we made it work. Also the 2 kayaks were gross all ripped up and not usable we only brought 1 thinking we would have 3 and so we only had the 1 we brought, so was also disappointed with that.We did have an ant problem in the kitchen, that should be taken care of . The house it self was ok it definitely needs some updating and work in and out. The bbq was not as clean as the owner wanted us to leave it, but we did. Overall it served its purpose and we had a nice time. The Lake is Beautiful. We rented a boat and that’s the time we spent on the lake. The property is big and is nice to hang out in the yard. Over all we had a nice time

Decent house

We had a very good time at this property! The house fits the description but has a few drawbacks included it has a small waterfront (if you want to go in the water, you need water shoes!) that is not immediately adjacent to the property. The yard is great and the owner is great to work with, very flexible and responds quickly! Five stars for the owner. Unfortunately the house is showing its age/ use with many things in poor condition including some of the mattresses and roll out beds and deck stairs. It also was not as clean as we would have preferred with dirt and dust around and under many items when moved. We had a great weekend and the area is nice to enjoy, but keep in mind that it is a rental property and not in pristine condition. Would consider to stay again, but temper expectations!

OK house in a great location

My extended family, ranging in age from 6 months to 68 years, recently stayed in this house, which suited our needs fairly well. The good: - Location: it's an easy drive to the picturesque towns of Auburn and Skaneateles, with good grocery stores and recreational shopping. - Lake access: Owasco lake was clean and pleasantly warm. The shore falls away gradually, so our young kids could wade around in the water without too much worry. - Size: The house had plenty of rooms/bathrooms, and comfortably accommodated our family. There was a large yard with plenty of space for the kids The not-so-good: - Although the property seemed safe and sanitary, it's not especially well cared for (peeling paint, clouded windows, water damaged ceiling tiles), and somewhat cluttered (broken fans in the rooms, spare mattresses stacked in the hallways). - AC on the third floor (with two bedrooms) was barely adequate. The window units are only able to provide cooling for eight hours a day, which was just adequate for sleeping, but not for 24 hour climate control. This wasn't a major issue since we had mild weather, but it would have been unpleasant in hot weather. - The stairs to the dock are in poor condition (significantly uneven, only have a railing on one side). The dock is serviceable, and the lake itself is lovely, but the property's beach is not the most inviting place to spend time (no afternoon shade, minimal space/seating) - The property requires guests to wash, dry, and fold all sheets/towels before checkout, which is time-consuming for large parties. I don't think I've ever stayed at a rental (especially one that charges a cleaning fee) that required me to do the laundry. Overall, if you're looking for a place to eat and sleep that can serve as a base for enjoying a wonderful region, this house will probably meet your needs, and the photos give an accurate impression of the place. If you're hoping for a house that's something of a draw in itself, with charming touches and hotel-like levels of comfort, you should probably consider another property.

Great house for our annual "Jane Austen Weekend". Three generations of family women, totaling 16, had a great time cooking, eating, chatting and watching Jane Austen movies. Beautiful views of the sunset and lake, with easy access to the shore and a comfortable deck overlooking the lake. The younger members had fun around a campfire making stores.Easy drives to Seneca Falls, Auburn and Skaneateles.This is an older home that's nicely kept. There are several fold-up cots that easily move into bedrooms for extra people. The booking and communication with the owner were very easy and prompt. Thank you Christine for a great weekend.

This house with lake view and lake access was exactly as described and was everything we needed for our extended family's vacation. Everyone had a great time!The host was responsive and checkin was easy. The house is roomy and also has roll away cots available that would be suitable for children. Some positives include having lots of towels provided for the bath & kitchen, plenty of good quality paper products (tp & paper towels), trash bags, cleaning supplies, and a well stocked kitchen with enough flatware, dishes, glasses, and mugs for everyone. There was a great kids play area, life vests for kids, Gain laundry detergent & dryer sheets, comfortable living spaces, sturdy chairs for dining, and enough room for our family to dine together. The lake dock was awesome. While the dock isn't fancy, it was just perfect for watching sunsets, swimming with kids, fishing at sunrise, and docking a rented pontoon boat. Loved having access to the kayaks. The deck is beautiful with deck furniture, kids water toys, and extra lounge chairs. A few things to know for those considering a stay include the trek to the lake being a healthy walk when hauling kids or supplies. Totally manageable, but narrow with steep steps down to the dock. We brought a giant raft for the lake and decided it would be more trouble than its worth to haul down. Also, the house itself could use some TLC. It's an older house and although well furnished, it shows its age.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Izzo

Host profile image
We are both school teachers nearby and live within a mile of the home. Since our teaching careers allow us to have summers off, we are able to promptly respond to any needs renters may have or questions they need answered.

Why they chose this property

Large home and lawn! Crystal clear water here and nice gradual walk out, good for kids.

What makes this property unique

Large home benefits with a great lawn for kids to play, and waterfront too at a modest cost compared to homes this large that sit directly on the water. Cost is lower than similar homes because of the 100 yard walk through the lawn to get to our private lakefront.
