About this property

Owasco Lake Shoreline Across From Emerson Park

Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch home on the northwest shore of Owasco Lake.  The master bedroom has a king sized bed, and adjoining master bath. The remaining 2 bedrooms are furnished with double beds. A sleeper-sofa in the living room pulls out to sleep an additional 2 adults or 3 small children. A "full house" will sleep 8 comfortably. The living room looks out through huge windows for a beautiful vista across and down the lake. The kitchen is complete and is attached to a dining room that seats 8 around the table. If you have small children, you will absolutely love this end of Owasco -- as you can walk out into the water a quarter of a mile and still only have the water level come up to an adult's waste. There is a fire pit right on the edge of the lake where you can sit out and enjoy a moon rise. There are 6 steps down into the water from the front lawn. A few large shade trees here as well, making those hot summer days even more enjoyable after you come in off a full day on the lake. The large deck allows for barbecuing, eating outside or simply resting in a comfortable chair with a good book. We include 2 kayaks, a two-person canoe, and an aluminum fishing boat and motor, as well as life jackets. If you need to borrow a pole or two, or some tackle, you can help yourself. We have plenty of games and puzzles for those "occasional" rainy days.

Camp Gramp is located directly across from Emerson Park. You can walk to the Merry-Go-Round Theater. THIS is THE BEST spot to view the whole lake from, you can watch weather coming up from the south end as you sit out on the deck. You'll hear the geese honking as they fly over and land on the lake. We have bald eagles and ospreys that may show off as they pluck a fish out from the shallows in front of the house on the water. Nature, relaxation and recreation can all be found at Camp Gramp!

Lake Owasco Trip
The house was as labeled very accurately. Completely reminds me of my grandparents place from the 80’s. We only were in the house for meals and sleep. It worked out very well. The sand bar on the lake was awesome. We were on the lake every day jumping, floating, swimming, playing, etc. This was exactly what our family needed and we didn’t want the week to end. Thank you

Great, clean, comfortable, and close to so much. We had a wonderful time and everything was as the owner said. The boat, kayaks, and canoe were a big plus. My family had a great time

Camp Gramp
We enjoyed our stay at this property. Loved being right on the lake with great views. Kayaking, using the floats on the lake was great. Awesome fire pit! Ate s’mores by the fire. Green Shutters has a yummy cheeseburger and homemade onion rings.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Bruland

Host profile image
Grandpa & Grandma Lessig (a.k.a "Tuie & Les") had the opportunity to purchase the entire "end of the lake" on Owasco but "settled" for just a simple, choice location on the northwest end of Owasco Lake. For many years it was a simple single room, unfinished cabin where they would come down to for weekends and vacations from their home in Auburn. Their only daughter, Carol, and her husband Don (a.k.a. "Gramp") inherited it when they passed and they built a "retirement home" on the property where they stayed for many years until health forced them to a retirement home. After that, we just used it for our family vacations and get togethers. In the past couple of years, we have chosen to rent out the property on VRBO when we are not using it.

Why they chose this property

Spectacular sunrises, shallow, sandy bottomed and safe for young children or seniors! Close to town (Wegmans, Walmart, Walgreens, movie theaters, shopping, etc.). And some of the best and most productive pan fishing in the Finger Lakes Region. When you look up the state record sunfish and bluegill, you will be tempted to take your measuring tape and camera out in the boat with you! One day in the near future, we predict the state record will be from Owasco Lake's northwest end!

What makes this property unique

Having a raised deck with an amazing view across the lake to Emerson Park and down the entire length of the lake to the south -- you can hear concert music from Emerson Park, and see the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, or watch storms come up the lake (many which never seem to get all the way to the end of our lake). Barbecuing outside on the deck in the evening, coffee and muffins in the morning when you wake up, you'll pretty much "live outside on the deck" during your stay! An easy walk up the lake to paddleboard rentals make trying this for the first time inexpensive and convenient. The antique car show at Emerson Park is a short walk up the street from our lake house!
