Fantastic location. Right on the water, walking distance to everything. With being a block from the main road, this place was very quiet. The kids loved being able to fish right off the back dock. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location to where we wanted to go. From going to the beach to watch the sunset to getting ice cream after dinner. My grandchildren learned how to navigate a kayak. We even were able to fish off the dock. It was a great stay in a great place. I would definitely go there again. Very comfortable and relaxing.

A little bit of everything

The property was exactly as shown in the pictures. Amenities, views, kayaks, and location were all amazing. My kids loved fishing off the docks and kayaking. The beach, restaurants, and stores are all within walking distance and we would go back and forth all day long. Pirates Weekend was also a blast (did not know this was happening until after we booked, pleasant surprise). The property is well mantained and everything was neat and clean. Owner was very accommodating and didn't have any issues feeling safe and secure.

Oneida Lake/Sylvan Beach mini vacation

The interior and exterior are well maintained. It was convenient to restaurants and casinos if interested. Most activities in the summer months, but mid Sept perfect for us. Our primary interest was the dock situated right in front of the property since we have a boat. I'd recommend this is communicated if both upstairs and downstairs guests have a boat. Ours was 20 foot and there was some extra room, but not enough for two vessels. We had a great time and would return.
