 Oneida Lake I-81, southern shore
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. Smallmouth bass can be caught around the many shoals while largemouth 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.
Attention: Lake sturgeon can be found in the lake and its tributaries; however, lake sturgeon are on New York's threatened species list and cannot be fished for or possesse

We loved this little cottage for the night when we were in the area for a bass tournament! It is cozy and quaint, love that it is right on the water. The owner was so nice and so accomodating! Thanks for a great stay!
The cottage was a nice stay for a fishing vacation with a dock that was so convenient to the dock the personal boat. Owner was extremely friendly and very responsive to our messages and emails. Thank you!

The cottage was perfect size for my wife and I. The river was great and the location was perfect for me to keep my bass boat which made easy access to the Oneida Lake. The owner did everything to accommodate us in our stay. Close enough to stores. Would love to come back next year.

Perfect fishing camp on the river. We took the grandkids, they had fun fishing and swimming. There are two docks for your boats with plenty of water and access to the lake. There is a lot to see and do in the area. Dan was great, real nice guy!
I would do this again!

It is a very nice cozy cottage. Owner seems very friendly. Pictures online of the outdoor are deceiving, we couldnt see or use firepit. Setting is not like the pictures online. No local tv and was unable to load our own accounts to the roku because owner didnt give a code. All that being said the cottage is very nice and relaxing.
One of the most well stocked cottages I have ever stayed at. I never expected to see granite counter tops in a cottage. The owner was fantastic. We accidentally locked the keys in the cottage and he was there within 5 min. to unlock it for us with a smile on his face. It is a great place to relax and within minutes of town.
I don't think I have ever had a nicer host in all of my experiences. Cute place right on the water. It was a really lovely stay and I would absolutely rent from this host again.
We had such a wonderful stay in this house that is literally steps away from the Lake! We went swimming right off the dock daily. The house was perfect...a real beach theme going on inside and is well maintained. We brought our boat and was able to dock it there too. Dan, the owner of the home, is easily accessible and very accommodating! Overall, I highly recommend renting this house!
Fun 24 hours on the River! This place is exactly as described. My 5, 7 and one year old twins enjoyed swimming in the river, sitting in the screened in porch and watching a stunning sunset. Nothing beats a warm cup of coffee watching the sunrise and how the river was glassed over early in the day. This place will not disappoint.
The cottage was everything we hoped it would be: quiet, comfortable, and right on the lake. Great boating and swimming. Dan and his family were kind hosts who responded promptly to every request we made and generously provided kayaks and games. We are planning to return next summer!
Wonderful waterfront property. House is small but pleasant, comfortable for our family of four. Large yard space means it was easy to have a few relatives over for swims/socially distanced visits. We were in or on river every day. Owner quick to respond to questions.

About the host
Hosted by Dan Childers
House was built by the family owned used for great times at the water since 1960. Owner local. Owner's family uses the property when not rented and rents out for short times for the year so property is stocked with almost everything should need.
Why they chose this property
On the water, Kayaks, land toys, private, close to everything but down private drive with only one other house on the water. Fire pit on waters edge
