White O'Morn is located in the coveted Lindenwood Cove section of the lake, offering the benefits of mid-lake solitude and views while somehow being only a 10 minute drive from Auburn with it’s restaurants, cultural attractions, nightlife and amenities. You’ll wake up each and every day simultaneously at the water’s edge and 10 minutes from Wegman’s and Prison City Brewing - you’ll think you died and went to heaven.
Staying at our lake-house you will also be just 15 minutes from the village of Skaneateles - with it’s own scenic lake, historic restaurants, boutique shopping and lakeside attractions. Craft beer lovers should check out Prison City Brewing, Auburn's award winning local brewery.
The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse is only five minutes away. This 501 seat theater, located at Emerson Park at the base of the lake, puts on a wonderful slate of live theater (a great mix of Broadway releases and Classic Revivals).
White O'Morn is also five minutes from two golf courses (Lakeview and Owasco Country Clubs) and 15 minutes from two more (Highland Park and Dutch Hollow).
You’ll only be bored when you want to be.
You will have direct, private access to the water from the 90 ft dock, or wade in at the stone beach area. Play in the lake all day and then enjoy sunsets and bonfires on the beach every night. The level beachfront with a gradual grade into the water, make this property perfect for kids through grandparents.
Sportsmen can fish off the dock, bring their own boat or rent a boat from the nearby Owasco Marina.
Owasco Lake is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, so you will never run out of things to see and do.
For the historically minded, you can visit Auburn and see the Harriet Tubman House, the home of William H. Seward or the Willard Chapel (the only complete and unaltered Tiffany Glass chapel known to exist). Auburn also has a maximum security prison, home of the first ever execution by electric chair (sorry - there's no gift-shop).
Wine connoisseurs will love being a short drive from the Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka (and other Finger Lakes) wine trails.
Sportsmen will love being 15 minutes from a Bass Pro Shop. Others shoppers will appreciate being 30 minutes from Destiny USA - one of the largest shopping malls in the northeast (complete with an IMAX theater, indoor go carts and a Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville).
Should you need to attend Mass, we are also only 10 minutes away from Sacred Heart Catholic Church (90 Melrose Rd in Auburn).
Staying at White O'Morn is the perfect vacation whether you are looking to do everything or nothing at all.
