Spacious Lakefront Home for Large Groups, 2 Acres, Central AC, Kayaks, Boat Dock

This home with waterfront is perfect for family reunions, extended families, or just large groups of friends! The east side location provides plenty of sunshine and awesome sunsets. There is a large two acre grassy lawn for kids to play and no neighbors on either side near the house. Since the yard is very spacious, you do have to walk approximately 100 yards (length of a football field) down the gently sloping property to the beach. The property gets more narrow towards the beach area where cottages get closer together. A stone driveway to drive to the water for people who can't walk this distance is located on the side of the property and cuts across the lawn near the waterfront. It is also used as a driveway/lane for cottages directly on the water. Kids can run and play, fly a kite, adults can have a volleyball game, play hoops, roast marsh-mellows, have a picnic, and take part in all kinds of water activities.

Inside, there is plenty of space to hang out together in the living room or family room. The dining room table seats 10 and table in the adjacent kitchen seats 6. Just outside the dining room is the deck which can seat 5 more or so. Many folks enjoy the piano room where they have singalongs with the family. There are also lots of nooks and crannies in the home where you could enjoy some quiet time away from the group. Of course, you could also do a little sunning at the beach while listening to the lapping waves, hang out on the new spacious deck there or relax in the lawn under one of the large shade trees.

The beach is all small flat rocks(shale) and has a deck and 45 foot dock. There are some stairs (approx. 20) from the lawn to the beach area. The new deck is about 1/3 the way down from the lawn. The water is very clean and there are no weeds in this area. It's crystal clear and you can easily see the bottom. It's a nice gradual walk out into the water and is about three feet deep at the end of the dock, which is great for kids- no drop offs. There are two kayaks with life-jackets for your use. For extremely large groups, we also own another home a short walk away with three bedrooms and sleeps 10 that you can inquire about. Auburn is only a quick drive (a few miles)away, so it is very convenient for shopping, restaurants, parks,etc. There are many things to do in the area depending on your interests.

Absolutely comfortable stay
Christine is an amazing host. A party of 17 of us visited the house in May 2024, and it was perfect for us. House was very clean, spacious, with lots of extra towels and bedding, A/C, fans, nicely equipped kitchen, gorgeous backyard with lots of space for kids to play, scenic beach access, etc. Our stay was extremely comfortable and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend the place and can't wait to visit again.

Making memories
Lots of room for all of my family. Great communication with our host, and thankful for her letting us start our vacation a little earlier. The property was great for whiffle ball games, volleyball games, and kicking a soccer ball around. Rain or shine, we made the most of the space. The home was very spacious and had plenty of essentials. Having the extra fridge downstairs was great too! Thank you!

Beautiful spacious house steps from the water
We had a wonderful stay at Christine's property. The house was more spacious than expected and fit 17 of us (adults) comfortably. Only steps away from a dock overlooking lake Owasco. Tons of backyard space for lawn games. Driveway had tons of space and was only 10 minutes away from the downtown of Auburn. Christine was wonderful and we hope to come back again!

Great space for family lake weekend
My partner and I wanted to bring our families together and we couldn't have asked for a better space! We were able to comfortably fit 16 adults and took full advantage of the large deck by the dock. We also definitely appreciated that there was a good amount of parking space- even fit a small rv!

Wonderful Experience
We had a great time staying at Christine's lake cottage. It was big enough for our large group of adults and children. The proximity to the lake and the large back yard were perfect for daytime activities with kids. Christine was a gracious host and immediately responsive when a couple of small issues arose. We would definitely consider visiting again!

Quite Disappointed, won't recommend
1. The property is dishonestly labeled as a 6 bedroom house. We had 6 families with 12 adults and 8 kids. It's not an actual 6 bedroom house where 6 families can live in one bedroom each. 2 bedrooms in the basement were in very very poor condition. One of them is not a bedroom at all, it could barely be labeled as a den. It was extremely difficult for us to manage everyone properly. 2. Top floor bathroom door had no lock. We had put a basket in front of it to notify others outside that it's occupied. 3. The entire basement floor is very dark and cold it doesn’t have any insulation or following fire rules for the safety. 4. The folding beds were of no use as well. Most of the side springs were missing and all the mattresses were not good for use. Not recommended, wasn't a fun trip. We go to cottages all the time, this was not up to the mark.
