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 within 10 minutes of Turning Stone Casino, Sylvan Beach, the Boxing Hall of Fame and the Town of Canastota (close to a grocery store and Rite Aid). . Our property has undergone a complete facelift and has all the amenities. Behind the house is wooded. 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 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

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!

Perfect cabin for family vacation

Was a beautiful cabin for a family vacation! Brian was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with! The yard is very large and has plenty of room for the family pets. Will be booking the cabin again for next year! You will not be disappointed with your stay!

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 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.

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!

Beautiful view!

We had a great time on our trip! The yard is huge and there is a little beach area which was great for the kids to play on. It didn’t look like any other cottages near by had the beach so that was a big plus! The water was very calm and peaceful.

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!

Great place to stay for a big family

The pictures online do not fully do this justice. It was better than it looked. The yard, beach, and lake were fantastic. The house was well-equipped with the essentials needed. The owner was easily accessible and responded quickly to any questions. I highly recommend.

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.

Beautiful property on the lake.

The owner is a great guy. Hands on person who made sure our stay was great. Sunsets every night, fishing right on the lake, with room for all involved. Neighbors are really friendly too. The yard is huge with nice big shade trees. Great to sit outside and relax. Off the beaten path and very quiet.

Great location for outdoor vacation with young kids

The location was perfect for our four and two year olds. Brian was great, very helpful. The cabin is small like advertised but has plenty of beds and internet is sufficient for multiple devices at once. Overall it was a very relaxing location. Will probably return.

Family getaway

We had a great family vacation here. Water was perfect for small children very shallow neare shoreline. We enjoyed several kickball games on the large lawn. Plenty of extra space to have family and friends over for the day. We did rent the boat and had several days of fun riding on it and swimming in deeper waters off it. The outside shower was helpful to rinse sand off before coming into house. Large refrigerator. Large newer grill. Two of the bedrooms in the front of the house do not have doors and one has an open wall directly into living room. This made it difficult to sleep well in those rooms. Furniture and beds very old worn. One of the front bedrooms did not have air-conditioning. The front screen door was broken. No dishwasher.

Great week

We had a family group of 8 adults & 2 children, with other family visiting during the week. We had a wonderful week. The breeze off the lake for the first 3 days was fantastic. There is a tire swing that the kids fell in love with. The yard is huge and shaded for the better part of the day and certainly large enough for volleyball or badminton. We did set up the croquet on the lawn and we set up our horseshoes on the beach. On the 4th of July the fireworks around the lake were so cool, almost all the way around. The camp itself is clean & bright & we certainly filled it up. The washer/dryer and the a/c's were a god send at the end of the week. Brian & Meg, it was very nice to meet you, and Jameson (LOL). Thank You so much!!
