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 acrossand 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!

    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.

    Camp Gramp far exceeded our expectations! Just as all the reviews promised, this place was absolutely outstanding.We visited with our extended family—six adults, two kids, and two dogs—and it was perfect for everyone. The master bedroom was huge, with plenty of space for the kids’ blow-up mattress, plus a private bathroom. The other two bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, sharing a well-appointed common bathroom. One room even had a VHS player with a treasure trove of classic movies—a total score!The owners have truly thought of everything. The garage was stocked with fishing gear, floats, and yard games (even ladder ball). We took full advantage of the motor boat, kayaks, and canoe every single day. The sunrises and sunsets over the lake were absolutely breathtaking.The lakefront setting is unbeatable—shallow, clean water that’s perfect for swimming, floating, or simply wading while chatting with family and friends. The location is also fantastic, within walking distance of a dog park, a larger walking trail, and piers you can stroll out onto.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need—cups, dishes, utensils, baking dishes, a coffee maker (with filters and coffee), and more. We loved gathering for dinner each night at the dining room table, which fit all eight of us comfortably.Evenings were pure relaxation—either sitting by the fireplace listening to the waves or rocking on the back porch under the stars.We will absolutely be back!

    Just a perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy your family / friends! The house is incredibly well maintained and spot less! You could not ask for a better spot on the lake. The views are amazing! Mark is a fantastic host and ensures nothing is missed and you have everything you need and more!

    We enjoyed a wonderful family vacation/reunion at Camp Gramp in late August. The house was quite tidy and the deck overlooking Lake Owasco was wonderful. The house is a short walk to a waterside park and a quick drive to a number of fun things to do. The layout of the house gave all six of us enough privacy. We had a great time here.

    The lake house exceeded our expectations. It was in a beautiful setting, right on the lake. It was honestly the most well-equipped rental we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in many. Our grandchildren loved the daily duck visits in the backyard, The fishing was great, we loved the kayaks too! So many nice features. We will definitely come back to Camp Gramps!

    Our stay was one of the best vacations we’ve had in long time. We are normally ocean vacation people but decided to try a lake this year. This house had everything we wanted! Mark thought of everything we might need/want-including a recliner which my husband loved after a day on the lake! Thank you so much Mark!

    We had a fun and relaxing stay at Camp Gramp. We enjoyed the kayaks, ladder ball, canoe and of course swimming and relaxing in the lake! The house is also very close to Auburn for food, coffee and museums. Mark was communicative and very helpful with checkin and checkout process. Highly recommend!
