This property was perfect for hosting family for our son's wedding at Emerson Park. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. Great porches to sit and visit with a view of the lake. Multiple indoor living spaces too. Great find!

Great house!

6 of us retired ladies stayed for 2 nights to explore the area. It was a wonderful house for us all to stay. Lots of room for us to spread out if we wanted to, and plenty of space for us to do a puzzle and play cards at night. It was close to everything that we wanted to see. Easy to get to. The views out the front windows of the lake were fabulous!

We had a great stay in this lakeside treasure!

Our family reunion in Auburn was amazing in this big beautiful house with a spacious yard and easy lake access. Everything was just as promised and the landlord couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Nine adults and three kids had plenty of room to enjoy our family meals and activities. The kitchen is very large and meal prep was a lot of fun. There was plenty of bedroom space and a few bonus rooms for people to sit and enjoy a bit of relaxing time away from the bustle.

Great place to stay

We stayed here Labor Day weekend with a group of 12 people. The location is great and the house has lots of room inside and outside. The owner is working to update the house and it is evident throughout the house. They were very responsive to questions and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot

Five of my women friends and I stayed at this beautiful home for a long weekend. It was the perfect spot for us to relax, catch up with each other and have a great time. The front porch overlooking the lake was the perfect place to spend a good amount of our time. The house is large and beautiful. We had everything we needed.

A Quick & Fun Overnight Trip!

We stayed one night for my daughter's 16 birthday. She did shopping and dinner in Skaneateles with friends, and then back to the property to hang out for the evening/night! There were 11 of us total and the house provided LOTS of room and choices for sleeping accommodations! Its a HUGE place with lots of room and easy access to Owasco Lake (right across street) or a short drive to Skaneateles! Its a fun property!

Charming Lakefront Home – Perfect for Family Gatherings

We stayed at this spacious and charming home to celebrate my son's graduation from Syracuse University, and it was the perfect choice. With nine of us in the group, the house had more than enough space for everyone to spread out and relax comfortably. It’s an older home full of character, which means it comes with a few quirks—like some sticky kitchen drawers and smaller showers—but nothing that took away from the overall comfort and cleanliness of the space.The highlight was definitely the location. The house faces a beautiful lake, offering stunning views throughout the day. Just a short walk down the road is a lovely park, perfect for morning strolls or evening relaxation. Plus, it’s very close to Skaneateles, which made exploring the area easy and enjoyable.If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with plenty of room for a group, this home is a great choice. We’d absolutely recommend it!

Fabulous porch, great for a big group!

We had a fantastic stay here as basecamp for our wedding weekend. The proximity to Emerson Park was convenience itself, but beyond that, the house was a beautiful place for getting ready photos, and a great hangout spot for our group the night before the wedding. The wraparound porch was heaven on a late spring evening and I wish we could have stayed longer. The numbers of beds and baths was enough for our group of 12. We even had enough space for waltz practice :) The host was extremely communicative and kindly accommodated an early check-in. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Perfect for our extended family attending a wedding

Plenty of bedrooms, dining and sitting areas for our family group of 12 adults and 1 child. The well appointed kitchen allowed us to prepare meals for all of us. Walking distance to Emerson park. It is an older house with great charm and plenty of porch space. It is in the process of updating not reflected in site photos. Recommend if attending a wedding at Emerson Park!

My main complaint was the listing said basic soaps To me that should include shower soap- all other places I have stayed have as well as shampoos We arrived at the property at 10 pm and had to go out to the store to buy soap so we could all shower in the morning That was the major disappointment. Otherwise the house is spacious and well kept
