About this property

Welcome to Southview Annex; a quiet retreat on the North end of Owasco Lake in Auburn NY. The house sits across the street from the lake, but has an unobstructed view southward of Owasco Lake. There is a sand beach across the street which is private to the house. You can watch the sun rise AND set from this vantage point on the large covered front porch, making this a beautiful place to spend your vacation time.

The house has 5 bedrooms with a spare room that has a twin sleeper chair for additional sleeping space. In total the house sleeps 13 comfortably.

The house comes equipped with a canoe and several kayaks and a small sailboat and fishing poles. There is a gas grill on the back patio and plenty of comfortable seating on the front porch. Emerson Park is down the street (about 400 yards) where paddle boats and pontoon boats are available for rent. Emerson Park is also home of the Merry-go-Round theater where you can enjoy professional theater during the Summer and Fall months. Auburn, NY has a number of points of interest including the Seward House (home of William Seward), the Tubman House (home of Harriet Tubman), the Cayuga Museum, Fort Hill Cemetery, and The Agricultural Museum (5 minute walk). Auburn Public Theater has year round performances including live music, comedians, stage performances and films. Musical Theater at the Merry-go-Round theater at Emerson Park are also popular. There are a number of restaurants in Auburn for anything from casual to fine dining! In addition, you are a 10 minute drive to Skaneateles, NY with a whole host of additional attractions and restaurants.
(In addition, golf excursions at the Private Owasco Golf and Tennis Club....in your back yard... may be arranged with advance notice.)

For Hunters: duck hunting can happen right on the beach in front of the home!

For fishermen: there is plentiful fishing on Owasco Lake during the summer and during the winter we typically have ice fishing right on the lake in front of the house.

Come and enjoy a relaxing summer beach vacation, a Fall foliage/wine tour vacation, Winter ice fishing/snow shoeing/cross country skiing adventure, or Spring time quite retreat. It's all here at the Southview Annex!!

Owasco Lake Get Away - Don't Hesitate To Book

The property was precisely as advertised and a more. 1500 chars is not enough! Location - This property is on the north end of the lake located on the main road. Yes, you have to cross a somewhat busy road to reach the lake but you are on level ground the entire time. Some of the other properties we thought about renting are on the side of steep hills to simply get to the property much less the extra 40 stairs from the deck to a private dock. We are so glad we choose this property! Size - This is a large house. There are 5 bedrooms as advertised and 3 bathrooms. The first floor bath must be accessed via the bedroom while 3 bedrooms upstairs share a common bathroom. The master suite upstairs is HUGE and has a lovely lake view. The master bath is a bit small but very serviceable. We fit 12 people around the dining room table for a dinner party and the living room had plenty of seating for everyone with room to spare. Kitchen A+! Heating - We were in the area in March and of course it snowed and was cold. There are 2 gas fireplaces on the first floor which gave off sufficient heat to supplement the zoned heating. There are at least 3 zones in the house. The only "burp" is the location of one thermostat on the 2nd floor. It's a bit difficult to read. Everyone was comfortable, even the folks from Florida. Cooling - With 8" of snow, we didn't need to use the portable air conditioners. There seemed to be plenty of AC units for a hot summer day. Parking - Lots of parking.

Ladies Weekend

We had a wonderful stay at this location. The house offered plenty of space and bedrooms for our weekend of relaxation. The view of the lake was wonderful from the porch as well as the big picture windows. Wendy was a wonderful host. She answered our questions quickly. She left a card and a bottle of wine to welcome us. Definitely would stay again!

Family friendly home with a view

The house was clean with lots of room for all of our family. The view of the water was beautiful with a big porch and big windows to take it in. It was a convenient location to many local attractions. We will definitely be back!
