About this property

Large docks, place for memories as one of a kind. Relax, play, swim, fish

Charming house, feels like you have walked back in time in your house set to socialize, enjoy, and relax. Sit on the large deck and pick grapes from the vines while enjoying the view of the water from the several lounges and bistro tables. You can play Frisbee, toss the football , and sit in the large yard looking at the water. After watching the sunset take a lovely walk to one of the family own restaurants, taverns, ice cream stands, shops or pier.

When time for indoor fun enjoy interacting with you friends with game of cards , cocktails on the leather chair looking out onto the water.

If you into more active skills contact the owner about kayaks/canoes.

So many things to do or just do nothing. Lounge by the water, swim/fish off the docks. Options limitless at this place for you.

Golf: 5 Golf courses less than 10 miles.


Fish Species:

Walleye, large mouth bass, small mouth bass, chain pickerel, northern pike, tiger musky, bluegill, pumpkin seed sunfish, rock bass, black crappie, yellow perch, freshwater drum, common carp, bowfin, burbot, longnose gar, lake sturgeon, gizzard shad, and round goby.

Fishing:

Oneida Lake is best known for its walleye and yellow perch fishery. In the spring walleye can be found in shallow water adjacent to spawning areas and tributaries. During the summer months' walleye are usually found in deeper water. As the water cools in the fall, walleye move back into the shallows. Fishing from shore after dark this time of year with stickbaits and blade baits can be fantastic. Walleye can also be caught through the ice around shoals, drop offs and deep water flats. Ice fishing for yellow perch is very popular on Oneida Lake and normally takes place around deepwater flats in 30-40 feet of water.

Oneida Lake is a fantastic bass fishing location and numerous bass fishing tournaments are held each year on the lake. Oneida Lake has become a popular tournament stop for professional bass fishing organizations such as BASSMASTER and FLW. Small mouth bass can be caught around the many shoals while large mouth bass are found in the larger bays and anywhere there is good vegetation growth. Panfish can be found throughout the lake. Big Bay is a popular ice fishing location for panfish and one of the first areas on the lake to ice up.

Young of the year yellow perch and gizzard shad, along with round goby are the main forage fish found in the lake.

Great house. My daughter and her wedding party stayed here and had plenty of room including for five stylists doing hair and makeup in the downstairs spaces. Great natural light for that. Proximity was great for wedding at Arrowhead Lodge. HOst was great to work with, even adding extra day on the last minute. Great place. Great stay.

This is a great older house with appropriate patina. It is well provisioned and was very comfortable for our family group of nine. The grounds and location are terrific, although it can be a little noisy outside when there are races at the nearby track. The host was very genial and responsive.

The pictures in the ad are definitely not the same as what the house looks like now, missing stair rails where children can fall through, ripped furniture, the patio furniture was tattered and some scratchy to even sit on, tiles missing off kitchen counters and up most of the stairs, non working lamps, missing screens in most windows and the house was absolutely not cleaned very well, we had to clean out the refrigerator before we put our food in it. Loved the big yard but you couldn’t walk anywhere without stepping in goose poop. Dock was great for our jetskis. Definitely not worth the 589 per night.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!! The pictures were beautiful but not at all what it was. We cou;d not get in, code would not work. Finally got in through an open window by the time host contacted us. The sink in the kitchen was falling into the sink. The stairway railing was missing several pieces of railing, which was dangerous. The place was dirty, stuff in the sink, Cheerios on the floor, disgusting hair on the bath mats. Towels(what little there were) were musty smelling. There was no outdoor trash receptacle so the trash just sat outside in the sun and rain. We killed two huge spiders in the house and there were cobwebs on a lot of the screens with spiders in them. The grill was so full of grease and pine needles that it caught fire and the flames were 3 feet high. There was poison ivy growing right up next to the house. The patio furniture was way past second hand and we were afraid to sit on it. This place has a great dock and location but is desperately in need of repairs. Sent the host a message asking for a 50% refund but was told could not do that much after checking out. He said we should have called him and he would have send the cleaning company back. Why would we want to spend time there with the cleaning company when we spent 1800.00 and were only there Monday afternoon through Thursday morning. It should have been clean when we arrived!

Fantastic, clean and comfortable stay!! The house was massive with more than enough room for our group of 9. We didn't have the best weather during our visit so we were grateful for such large common areas and we were not crowded at all. The property was fantastic and we enjoyed walking the waterfront. Plenty of restaurants nearby. We were visiting Liverpool/Syracuse and it was a very close drive and easy to get to. Can't recommend enough, we are already looking forward to our stay next time!

Large Group Getaway

This home accommodated 12 adults comfortably; there was plenty of space! Our group enjoyed the huge back yard with access to the water. We purchased firewood at a local store and sat around the fire pit enjoying s’mores. It is conveniently located near restaurants, stores, golf courses and so much more. We ordered pizza from a place just down the road one evening. The host was excellent with communication! He even allowed us to have additional family members come visit for a few hours one evening. Check in was easy. The home has old charm but has all the modern amenities. We would stay here again if visiting the area.

8 friends and myself stayed here for a girls’ weekend. We had an amazing time. Dan communicated well. We found the house to need an extremely good cleaning. When I arrived I swept all the floors. The house is extremely dated and all the walls, floors, baseboards, windows, outside area needs a good cleaning, weed trimming etc. The grill worked in some areas, but not all burners. We did not reach out to Dan to let him know since we made it work. He did say to let him know if issues. If we had let him know of our concerns regarding cleanliness we would have likely had to leave due to needing a long time to clean up.
