What this place offers

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

This home is located directly on the channel leading into Owasco Lake, giving you easy access to the water for boating, kayaking, and fishing. You’ll enjoy the peaceful setting of a waterfront neighborhood while still being just minutes from downtown Auburn. Auburn offers a mix of history, culture, and convenience—visit the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park, catch a show at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, or enjoy dining and breweries in the city center (about 5 minutes away). Just a short drive brings you to Skaneateles, a charming lakeside village with boutique shops, cafés, and dinner cruises. The property also places you within reach of the Finger Lakes Wine Trails, scenic hiking, and waterfalls. With channel access right from your backyard and Owasco Lake only moments away, this location offers the perfect balance of waterfront relaxation and easy access to Finger Lakes attractions.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire property, except for the red barn, which is locked and off-limits. Inside, enjoy the living areas, kitchen, and bedrooms. Outside, use the deck, patio, private pool (available only May 22nd - September 29th), hot tub, and yard for group activities. The private dock provides access to the channel, but swimming in the channel is discouraged. For lake swimming, we recommend Emerson Park, just 2 minutes down the road, which has direct lake access.
