About this property

Lake Wawasee- Morrison Island. Updated 2 Bed, 1Bath Cute Cottage on the water


Not your typical rental, family owned and I enjoy sharing it the times I cant be there...
Located on the east side of Lake Wawasee on Morrison Island is my cute and completely updated cottage with a large deck over looking a wide open tranquil bay with a couple uninhabited islands with plenty of wild life. The cottage is a perfect place to park your boat for the duration of your stay. And the public access ramp is just a couple minutes drive away. Don't have a boat? No problem. Griffith's Wawasee Marina is just a couple minute walk away to service all your rental needs. Or bring the kayaks up and paddle around. My 14 ft Old town kayak as well as my 12 ft Perception are there for you to use as well.
For the times you don't want to be on the water, the green space on the island is perfect for family games or picnics. And since you'll be on an island, that means very low traffic so bring the bikes on up or your walking or running shoes and get a workout.
The towns nearby are Syracuse and North Webster and both have great places to eat, drink or shop. The Boutiques and antique stores are awesome.
Places to eat on the water? You have The Oakwood, The Channel Marker, and The Frog are all great places to go to after a day on Wawasee's sandbar.
So on to the house. Its 1000 sq ft of functionality. I've had the house for a number of years and have updated it completely front to back. New carpet, fresh paint, new beds, new appliances, new deck, etc. And because kids, and some of us adults can't go anywhere without it, it does have WiFi. And it also has a 55 inch Samsung Smart tv with some pre loaded apps such as Vudu, Hulu, and Disney. No cable tv.
The living room has plenty of space for relaxing or playing family games etc. It also has a single fold out bed and plenty of space for an air mattress for extra guests. The bedroom's are cozy and comfortable. One has a brand new queen size bed, and the other has a brand new full size bed.
The kitchen is outfitted with new stainless appliances and an eating area as well. But the best place to eat is really on the newly built deck that goes over the water. Burgers and chicken off the new grill taste best looking at the scenery that the lake has to offer. But nothing compares to a cup of coffee watching the sunrise. Have your camera ready!
C'mon up and spend a weekend or longer here and make some memories that will last a lifetime!
Added note here.... I do have a small pup and am not opposed to having dogs there as long as they are great dogs. By my definition that is a dog that does not chew on anything and is completely house broken (potty trained) and loves other dogs as many of the Morrison Island residents have dogs.
Added note here, it Does have central air conditioning and a gas grill. It does not have a dishwasher, or a washer and dryer. Also, important to know, the cottage has a newer hot water heater as well as a new water softener, but it does still get a bit of a sulfur smell from time to time when using hot water.

Wife’s birthday celebration
I had booked this trip for a suprise for my wife. I must say this was the best VRBO experience we’ve had! We brought our fishing boat and had an absolute blast. The cabin is super cool right down to the decor and is super clean. James, the host is by far the best host we ever had. He even left a very thoughtful gift for my wife . Def we will return!

Weekend getaway success!
James’ place was perfect for what we were looking for. My wife and I were looking for a weekend getaway for the solar eclipse. The bed was comfy, the place was clean & tidy and all the amenities were great! We didn’t catch anything fishing, but we won’t hold that against him. We would stay here again. Thanks, James!

Great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay on Morrison Island! The host was great at communication and provided everything we needed. It is located in a peaceful neighborhood. The deck out back was great for fishing and just relaxing along the channel (a channel looking out to the lake and not another house). We brought our fishing boat and it worked out great, as well as kayaking. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Lake Wawasee Getaway
Great time. We spent 5 days on Lake Wawasee’s channel. Very serene. We used the pair of kayaks provided and explored the lake. We visiting our niece on Lake Syracuse and enjoyed several popular restaurants including the Frog Tavern (great frog legs) and the Back Porch & Pier (floating) at the Oakwood resort. The lake cottage was cozy and well equipped. We did a little fishing off the dock and got plenty of sunshine along with several days of rain. You will definitely like the numerous visits from the two spoiled swans that frequent the condos boat dock including the Heron that hunts for fish in the channels weeds. The weather temp dropped to 44’ at night so the owner provided us with instructions to turn on the heat. Owners provided us with plenty of bottled water along with two types of coffee pots. To keep us occupied during the rain there was board games, cards, big screen TV and great website access.
