South shore of Oneida Lake · Canastota, NY
Dock in, four kayaks waiting, and shallow, sandy water for nearly 100 yards out.
Bald eagles over the water, sunsets from the deck, and the fire pit lit.
Walk straight out onto the lake to ice fish, park the sleds across the street, and warm up by the fireplace.
The grill is back mid-April and the dock goes in come May.

When are you coming?
Summer · Jun–Aug
The private dock is in, the four kayaks are free to use, and the shallow, sandy water is ideal for kids wading on calm days, guests say.
Fall · Sep–Nov
The house sits on the lake's migration path, and fall is when the bald eagles show up. Great blue herons work the shallows, and the fire pit has firewood waiting.
Winter · Dec–Feb
When the ice is safe, walk straight out from the house to ice fish for walleye and perch. Park snowmobiles and rigs in the private lot, then warm up by the electric fireplace.
Spring · Mar–May
Herons in the shallows, kingfishers on the posts, and two workspaces facing the lake for a week of remote work.
A newly renovated, single-level cottage with a picture window onto the water from the living room, kitchen and workspaces. Spotless and well stocked, guests say.
*Two singles plus a pull-out trundle. Groups of 4+ can request other setups.
The house is named after Yogi, our tricolor corgi, and it's set up for dogs: a fully fenced front yard on a quiet private road, plus dog beds, bowls, towels and a spare leash.
Up to 2 dogs, $50 per dog. Non-aggressive and potty-trained; outdoor potty breaks only. The backyard opens to the lake and can't be fenced. Assistance animals always welcome.
“Fabulous views, wonderful and communicative host! So close to Sylvan beach area but still quiet and peaceful. VERY dog-friendly. Highly recommend!!”
“Our little pup also had the greatest time of her life. If staying, I highly recommend a kayak to watch the sunset.”
“House was immaculate - clean, plenty of supplies. Very welcoming and comfortable!”
