About this property

FOOTBALL FIELD SIZE YARD, Sandy Beach, Sunsets, PRIVATE Rd, 6 mi.to Sylvan Beach

Welcome to Camp Sunset which is the rarest of rentals on Oneida Lake because it has it all! No compromises here! There are very few rentals that are not on top of one another with a sandy beach, HUGE YARD, gorgeous sunsets over the water, dock, huge yard (size of a soccer field) and located on a private road (very quiet and lots of privacy) and still be about 10 minutes from Turning Stone Casino, Sylvan Beach, the Boxing Hall of Fame and the Town of Canastota. Our property has undergone a complete facelift and has all the amenities. Behind the house is wooded(which means there are bugs - we do spray for mosquitoes, spiders and ticks but being in a wooded area there are other nuisance bugs that may or may not be around). A four bedroom cottage with an eat-in kitchen and living room. The yard is large enough for lots of outdoor activities and the 300 feet of lawn runs down to a sandy beach and beautiful area for swimming for children of all ages. Approximately 50 feet of lake front (which may or may not have seaweed or some muck depending on the time of year - it is cleaned before arrival) with a sandy beach and 950 ft of shore to explore. The Dock sits in 2 to 2.5 ft of water. Lots of room to roam and plenty of parking. The sunsets over the water and can be seen from the outside or inside the house from the large picture windows or sliding glass doors. Large beach area with a fire pit for campfires as night.
Weber gas grill

Worst Place we Ever Stayed

The listing for this place is so inaccurate I don’t even know where to start. The place is filthy. The owner was cleaning the beach when we arrived as so much sludge washes up on the “sandy beach” you cannot even access the water from shore. The dock was ok, we moored our boat and my husband got a gigantic sliver through his shoe into his foot from the dried out wood. The lawn was not mowed. The fire pit was usable with wood thrown in a heap next to it. No chairs for sitting around. The green kayak had a leak and was unusable. The canoe & red kayak offered fun, once brought out on the dock to enter. The grill was so rusty we had to scrub and season it before we could use just half of it. There is a tire swing hanging from a dead Ash tree that we were informed by a tree service should not be used due to the danger of it falling down and someone getting hurt. water balloon pieces and bottle caps around the lawn. Along with a pile of sticks with garbage. The patio sets are moldy and rusty by the grill and the other is so dirty. Food in the cushions of the couch & underneath. There were so many dead bugs in the window sills it makes your stomach turn. There was a frayed wire on the light over the table, could be a hazard. The outlet are so old your chargers don’t stay in. The baseboard next to the shower was moldy and coming off the wall. There is the very bare minimum items in the kitchen , no measuring spoons or cups, the utensils are sparse. The owner is unprofessional.

Family Vacation

We had a WONDERFUL time at your cabin. The yard and lakefront view were fantastic. Every year we take our grandchildren on an adventure and this year we were lucky enough to find your house. The kids and dog were so happy being on the lake. Every day there was swimming, fishing and kayaking. Everyone was sun kissed and tired every night. Brian, you were very responsive and got right back to us when we had any questions. We were not far away from stores, bait shops, farmers markets or the amusement park and other beaches. Thank you so much! We hope everyone who goes here enjoys the lake, house and surrounding area as much as we did.

Property was exactly as advertised.

First thing we noticed upon arrival was, the cottage was spotless! The yard was perfectly manicured, private and HUGE! Old growth trees provided shade when necessary. The amenities were all in good working order and all of the houseware items were provided. The owner was available, professional and ready to offer assistance/advise whenever I called him. We are already planning on returning next year.

Perfect Spot

The house was very comfortable with an amazing view of the lake. The yard was indeed a football field and much appreciated by our dogs. Loved the fire pit and being able to sit on the beach and of course enjoy those sunsets. That never got old. Weather was a little too chilly to go into the water but my husband did kayak a few times. The weather was great except for our last full day where this crazy storm blew through. Even then the lake was amazing with white caps.

nice family vacation

Overall, it was a great family vacation. Not fancy by any means but nice. The dock was a huge disappointment as we booked this place for the ease of a dock. The water is so shallow it’s scary to try to bring the boat in. You definitely can’t use your motor, just the trolling motor. They said they had a lift but there was no boat lift when we arrived. The dock needs some updating to feel safe docking there. They did have a slip at a nearby dock but that didn’t help with ease of just jumping on the boat in front of the cottage for evening rides. They didn’t have the basic kitchen stuff so plan on bringing everything down to salt (the container was empty) which is expected. They did have silverware, cups and some pans. Owner was very nice. BRING BUG SPRAY!!! The large yard was nice for the kids to play and ride power wheels. Lawn was so long and not cut until two days before we left, same with the beach being raked. If you have kids you have to visit the wild Animal park down the road, it was beautiful and fun. The washer and dryer were so nice to have! I think a little TLC would go a long way here but again this is just a cottage. Again, overall a great vacation with the family and Brian, the owner, really was a nice guy.

Amazing property

We had a great week at the cottage! The yard is huge with equal parts sun and shade, allowing you to beat the heat. The dock and beach were beautiful. The cottage itself was very nice and has beautiful views of the lake and sunset. My daughter couldn't get enough of the tire swing. Brian was great to work with and quickly responded to text messages. Highly recommend this property!

Family vacation

It's been a long time since we had a well needed family vacation. Lots of room outside. Brian was a huge help when we had some issues like locking our keys in the car, he came to help and found someone local to help when we coukd do it on our own. Lots of sleeping space, quiet area and great sunsets.

Great sunsets, wonderful location,,,despite Mother Nature…

This location was great! The extensive lawn was nice as we were able to take our dogs too! The cottage was very clean and comfortable ,well equipped and the ac was a much welcome touch for the hot days we were there! Although we had to deal with the smelly phase of mayflies , fish were caught and thankfully got to swim at nearby Verona Beach state park! We are certainly going to try again hopefully without mayflies! Thank you Brian and Meg!

Perfect Lake Front Family Getaway!

Perfect vacation spot if you’re looking to spend quality time with your family or friends on beautiful Oneida Lake. This property has a huge yard for children to play all day without getting bored! There is a private little beach with shallow water that is perfect for little ones to swim while you sunbathe on the shore. Kayaks and canoe provided are a great way to explore the shoreline. Like most spots on this lake I would recommend water shoes for a sometimes rocky bottom. The house was immaculate upon arrival and provides a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of my own childhood family vacations on the lake. The dining table is in front of a huge window that gives you an amazing view while drinking your morning coffee or eating dinner with your loved ones. The owners were super nice and quick to help with any questions. Definitely booking this property again next summer!

Family Vacation

The cottage was perfect for nine adults. Right on Oneida Lake even came with a dock and a slip! Large backyard to throw football, baseball and yard games! A fire pit right near the dock and beach. It really had everything that you needed. Only went into town one day because of COVID and we are very cautious. Went to new casino no/restaurant called The Lake House highly recommend it.

Great week at the lake

Our family had a blast. The rental was much bigger and better than the photos had let on. Lake front swimming was perfect for the kids and the shallow water was clean and warm. Home is in great shape and updated. The boat and dock were a great addition as well. Although docki g proved difficult due to shallow water and open wind, the marina is less than a 10 min boat ride away and provides a safe spot to dock in rough weather. Thanms so much and we will be back!

Beyond what we had hoped for

Our family of 9 had the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation at Brian's camp. The house was homey and cozy and the decor was lovely. Great showers-inside and out- with lots of hot water. The kitchen was well stocked (including a blender!) The yard was huge and we were on the lake all day. It was a dream vacation.

Wonderful vacation!

This house is located in a beautiful and quiet location. Even the lake was extremely quiet almost every day. The major highlights for my family: queen bed in "green room" is extremely comfortable, outdoor shower and hose were awesome, flat lawn for games and playing, use of the kayaks, and of course, the AMAZING sunsets. The owner is extremely helpful and friendly.
