About this property

Beautiful year round home at the foot of Owasco Lake

Welcome to Southview Annex; a quiet retreat on the North end of Owasco Lake in Auburn NY. The house sits across the street from the lake, but has an unobstructed view southward of Owasco Lake. There is a sand beach across the street which is private to the house. You can watch the sun rise AND set from this vantage point on the large covered front porch, making this a beautiful place to spend your vacation time.

The house has 5 bedrooms with a spare room that has a twin sleeper chair for additional sleeping space. In total the house sleeps 13 comfortably.

The house comes equipped with a canoe and several kayaks and a small sailboat and fishing poles. There is a gas grill on the back patio and plenty of comfortable seating on the front porch. Emerson Park is down the street (about 400 yards) where paddle boats and pontoon boats are available for rent. Emerson Park is also home of the Merry-go-Round theater where you can enjoy professional theater during the Summer and Fall months. Auburn, NY has a number of points of interest including the Seward House (home of William Seward), the Tubman House (home of Harriet Tubman), the Cayuga Museum, Fort Hill Cemetery, and The Agricultural Museum (5 minute walk). Auburn Public Theater has year round performances including live music, comedians, stage performances and films. Musical Theater at the Merry-go-Round theater at Emerson Park are also popular. There are a number of restaurants in Auburn for anything from casual to fine dining! In addition, you are a 10 minute drive to Skaneateles, NY with a whole host of additional attractions and restaurants.
(In addition, golf excursions at the Private Owasco Golf and Tennis Club....in your back yard... may be arranged with advance notice.)

For Hunters: duck hunting can happen right on the beach in front of the home!

For fishermen: there is plentiful fishing on Owasco Lake during the summer and during the winter we typically have ice fishing right on the lake in front of the house.

Come and enjoy a relaxing summer beach vacation, a Fall foliage/wine tour vacation, Winter ice fishing/snow shoeing/cross country skiing adventure, or Spring time quite retreat. It's all here at the Southview Annex!!

Annual family gathering!
House was beautiful! Location great and close to Wegmans/grocery store. Owner was very kind and communicated well. Would definitely stay here again! 2nd kitchen was key for storage and cooking for large amount of people. Set up of house was bigger than it looks in pictures. We were all very happy with our choice!

Reunion on the lake
Our stay at The Annex was great. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the property - whether it was indoors or on the spacious front porch. The beach and adjacent Park were very nice, even in October. Planning to try to visit again next year!

Senior Girls Weekend
This worked great for the 5 of us. While an older home, it was clean, updated, and so well maintained. The view was exceptional and the location was perfect. We had a couple minor issues that needed the host, and the response was so quick and effective. No one had any complaints.

We loved that the house was big enough for everyone to spread out, but also gave areas for gathering with everyone. We had ages 16 to 72 staying with us.

It was a shame that the lake had an algae bloom. We learned that this happens every year around this time.

Another great stay
This house is just wonderful, The rooms are spacious and very nicely done. Everything is top notch including the host. Wendy is always available This is our second stay here, and there will be a third. The huge kitchen is a great gathering place. The house is right in front of the Lake with a spectacular view, and very quiet. But it's also just a short drive to Auburn's restaurants, and especially Wegman's. Great care has been taken to make the house comfortable and welcoming. It's a real treasure.

Great house very large
We had a great time at the house, kitchen was very well stocked. There was lots of extra towels and blankets. They had a great selection of games, puzzles and some toys. The only.cons was the beach was smaller than expected and was quite dirty, tthey dod have someone come clean it and rake it couple days later. There is no central.ac air conditioners are in windows thougb and they worked well but the filters were so dusty we had to clean them. Overall a great place for family to stay.
