Summary: This is a beautiful house with a lovely view of Owasco Lake. It was the perfect place for the annual reunion of 5 60-something college friends. Spacious and clean, it is well appointed and has a fully stocked kitchen. The large front porch has plenty of comfy seating as was perfect for morning coffee or afternoon drinks. Wendy, the owner, responded quickly whenever we had questions prior to our stay. If we ever return to Auburn we would definitely rent this house again.

Summary: We were in town for a family wedding and The Annex was perfect for our large family to stay at. (3 siblings, their families and our mom) The common spaces are so large and so varied that you are not on top of each other. All of us were able to gather and hang out in the very large and well equipped kitchen. The covered front porch with lake view was perfect too. We all wished we had more time to spend there but alas we had to go home. We won't hesitate to book this property again.
Celeste E. May 19, 2025 07:18:39 PM
Summary: This property accommodates a lot of people very comfortably and has a gorgeous view of Owasco Lake.
Keith W. May 8, 2025 09:37:45 AM
Summary: We work long hours (10-14 hour days) and it was nice to come here and sit on the porch and relax. The view was peaceful. The owners came and visited once and are extremely kind and easy to talk to.
Kristen M. Mar 30, 2025 08:21:00 PM
Summary: House was beautiful! Location great and close to Wegmans/grocery store. Owner was very kind and communicated well. Would definitely stay here again! 2nd kitchen was key for storage and cooking for large amount of people. Set up of house was bigger than it looks in pictures. We were all very happy with our choice!

Summary: We were celebrating a family birthday... had the best time loved the house lots of room

Summary: This worked great for the 5 of us. While an older home, it was clean, updated, and so well maintained. The view was exceptional and the location was perfect. We had a couple minor issues that needed the host, and the response was so quick and effective. No one had any complaints.
Rick W. Oct 14, 2024 09:29:16 PM
Summary: Our stay at The Annex was great. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the property - whether it was indoors or on the spacious front porch. The beach and adjacent Park were very nice, even in October. Planning to try to visit again next year!
Norm G. Oct 9, 2024 12:02:37 AM
Summary: It was a shame that the lake had an algae bloom. We learned that this happens every year around this time.
Dan O. Sep 30, 2024 03:43:57 AM
Summary: This house is just wonderful, The rooms are spacious and very nicely done. Everything is top notch including the host. Wendy is always available This is our second stay here, and there will be a third. The huge kitchen is a great gathering place. The house is right in front of the Lake with a spectacular view, and very quiet. But it's also just a short drive to Auburn's restaurants, and especially Wegman's. Great care has been taken to make the house comfortable and welcoming. It's a real treasure.
