About this house rental
Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 3 bedroom 2 bath vintage ranch home on the northwest shore of Owasco Lake. The master bedroom suite has a king sized bed, and adjoining master bath. The remaining 2 bedrooms are furnished with new queen 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 classic 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 cement steps down into the water from the front lawn. Large shade trees here as well, making those hot summer days even more enjoyable after you come in off a sunny day on the lake. The large deck allows for barbecuing, eating outside or simply resting in a comfortable chair or glider with a good book. We include 2 kayaks, a two-person canoe, and an aluminum fishing boat and 6 hp Mercury motor, as well as all new life jackets. If you need to borrow a fishing pole or two, or even some fishing tackle, you can help yourself. We have MANY inner tubes, floaties and life preservers on site. We have plenty of games, cards 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. It is a short walk to Owasco Paddle Boards rentals just north of us on the sureline. 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 270 degree view 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!
We are just south of Auburn, NY with easy interstate access. Day trips to Montezuma Wildlife Refuge, Harriet Tubman's home, William Seward's estate, and a short drive to the Women's Rights National Park in Seneca Falls, NY are all close. There are numerous wineries and breweries within 40 miles of our home to enjoy (if you bring a designated driver, of course).
The BEST part will be walking out into the lake and floating in the sun with a sandy bottom under your feet!

I really can’t say enough about how fantastic everything was. The hosts are so easy to communicate with, the house was SO charming, lake access as easy as it gets, all the extras (kayaks, canoes, floats, etc) made it to much fun for our family. We will 100% book here again and that will officially be the first time we’ve ever returned to a VRBO rental. We’ve been renting every summer for years, I can say we’ve found our home away from home. Thank you, Camp Gramps, for the memories!

We really enjoyed the stay. The house was well set up and very enjoyable. We spent some time in the water, and my brother used a kayak. We used this as our home base, but as I used to live in the city, we were familiar with the area. We ate at Green Shutters, as my parents used to take us there, in the 50's. We also went to the other side of the lake and to Tom Thumb ice cream stand. We enjoyed a game of mini-golf there. We went to Auburn Bagel Company and that was very good. We met at Newhope Mills with others and had a great meal. And really enjoyed watching the activities on the lake. We also went to Skaneateles and went on the boat tour there.
