About this property

Owasco Lake Shoreline 3-BR, 2 Bath Home with Aluminum Boat, Canoe and 2 Kayaks

Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 3 bedroom 2 bath vintage ranch home on the northwest shore of Owasco Lake.  The master bedroom suite has a king sized bed, and adjoining master bath. The remaining 2 bedrooms are furnished with new queen beds. A sleeper-sofa in the living room pulls out to sleep an additional 2 adults or 3 small children. A "full house" will sleep 8 comfortably. The living room looks out through huge windows for a beautiful vista across and down the lake. The classic kitchen is complete and is attached to a dining room that seats 8 around the table. If you have small children, you will absolutely love this end of Owasco -- as you can walk out into the water a quarter of a mile and still only have the water level come up to an adult's waste. There is a fire pit right on the edge of the lake where you can sit out and enjoy a moon rise. There are 6 cement steps down into the water from the front lawn. Large shade trees here as well, making those hot summer days even more enjoyable after you come in off a sunny day on the lake. The large deck allows for barbecuing, eating outside or simply resting in a comfortable chair or glider with a good book. We include 2 kayaks, a two-person canoe, and an aluminum fishing boat and 6 hp Mercury motor, as well as all new life jackets. If you need to borrow a fishing pole or two, or even some fishing tackle, you can help yourself. We have MANY inner tubes, floaties and life preservers on site. We have plenty of games, cards and puzzles for those "occasional" rainy days.

Camp Gramp is located directly across from Emerson Park. You can walk to the Merry-Go-Round Theater. It is a short walk to Owasco Paddle Boards rentals just north of us on the sureline. THIS is THE BEST spot to view the whole lake from, you can watch weather coming up from the south end as you sit out on the 270 degree view deck. You'll hear the geese honking as they fly over and land on the lake. We have bald eagles and ospreys that may show off as they pluck a fish out from the shallows in front of the house on the water. Nature, relaxation and recreation can all be found at Camp Gramp!

We are just south of Auburn, NY with easy interstate access. Day trips to Montezuma Wildlife Refuge, Harriet Tubman's home, William Seward's estate, and a short drive to the Women's Rights National Park in Seneca Falls, NY are all close. There are numerous wineries and breweries within 40 miles of our home to enjoy (if you bring a designated driver, of course).

The BEST part will be walking out into the lake and floating in the sun with a sandy bottom under your feet!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Bruland

Host profile image
Grandpa & Grandma Lessig (a.k.a "Tuie & Les") had the opportunity to purchase the entire "end of the lake" in the 40's but "settled" for a simple, choice lot on the northwest end of Owasco Lake. For many years it was a simple 1-room, unfinished cabin where they would come down for weekends and vacations from their home in Auburn. Their only daughter Carol, and her husband Don (a.k.a. "Gramp") inherited it when they passed and then built their 1980s "retirement home" on the property where they stayed for many years. Carol & Don's two daughters used it for family vacations and get togethers. Now, the 4th generation of the original owners host the property here on VRBO when we our Family is not using it.

Why they chose this property

Spectacular sunrises, shallow, sandy bottomed and safe for young children! Close to town (Wegmans, Walmart, Walgreens, movie theaters, shopping, etc.). And some of the best and most productive pan fishing in the Finger Lakes Region. When you look up the state record sunfish and bluegill, you will be tempted to take your measuring tape out in the boat with you! One day, the state record will be caught right here in Owasco Lake's northwest end (just outside the bouys - hint hint)!

What makes this property unique

There is a raised deck with an amazing 270-degree view across the lake to Emerson Park and down the entire length of the lake to the south -- you can hear concert music from Emerson Park, and see the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, watch and hear The Great Race each August, or watch storms come up the lake (many which never seem to get all the way to the end of our lake). Barbecuing outside on the deck in the evening, coffee and muffins in the morning when you wake up, you'll pretty much "live outside on the deck" during your stay! There is a dog park and paddleboard rentals a block away on the shoreline. The antique car show at Emerson Park is a short walk up the street from our lake house! In the summer every Thursday night there are free concerts in the park with food and drink trucks or barbecue grills if you want to fix your own dinner.
