White O’Morn is a beautiful Owasco Lakefront rental that has been newly updated. The fully equipped kitchen has been modernized with new cabinets, appliances and granite countertops. The first floor bath is also newly renovated with a new vanity, extensive tile work and new walk-in shower. A laundry room with recently added with full sized washer and dryer was added for your convenience. Each of the three bedrooms (one on the main floor, two upstairs) have hardwood floors and queen size beds and mattresses (five queens in all - the cottage sleeps 8 comfortably). Please note that linens are not included.

This well-appointed and immaculate lakefront home has 90 feet of lake frontage on the highly desirable east side of Owasco Lake. The east side location provides you with afternoon sun and mesmerizing sunsets. Five sets of sliding glass doors provide access to the expansive deck and gorgeous views up and down the lake. Enjoy vacationing in luxury with plenty of room for large families to spread out in the multiple living and dining areas, several outdoor decks, patios and porches.

Located at the end of a fire lane, there is parking for up to four cars and no through traffic. White O’Morn is located a short walk from a vintage ice cream stand (Tom Thumb’s Drive In) pleasing kids of all ages with delicious hard and soft ice cream as well as a wide variety of fried goodness. By the end of your stay you’ll wish the walk was longer.

White O’Morn is all told about 1,500 square feet, plus front and back patios and a large wraparound deck. There is a private lakeside patio with fire pit. There is also a nice sized yard for kids and adults to play while overlooking the tranquil lake.

White O'Morn is located in the coveted Lindenwood Cove section of the lake, offering the benefits of mid-lake solitude and views while somehow being only a 10 minute drive from Auburn with it’s restaurants, cultural attractions, nightlife and amenities. You’ll wake up each and every day simultaneously at the water’s edge and 10 minutes from Wegman’s and Prison City Brewing - you’ll think you died and went to heaven.

Staying at our lake-house you will also be just 15 minutes from the village of Skaneateles - with it’s own scenic lake, historic restaurants, boutique shopping and lakeside attractions. Craft beer lovers should check out Prison City Brewing, Auburn's award winning local brewery.

The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse is only five minutes away. This 501 seat theater, located at Emerson Park at the base of the lake, puts on a wonderful slate of live theater (a great mix of Broadway releases and Classic Revivals).

White O'Morn is also five minutes from two golf courses (Lakeview and Owasco Country Clubs) and 15 minutes from two more (Highland Park and Dutch Hollow).

You’ll only be bored when you want to be.

You will have direct, private access to the water from the 90 ft dock, or wade in at the stone beach area. Play in the lake all day and then enjoy sunsets and bonfires on the beach every night. The level beachfront with a gradual grade into the water, make this property perfect for kids through grandparents.

Sportsmen can fish off the dock, bring their own boat or rent a boat from the nearby Owasco Marina.

Owasco Lake is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, so you will never run out of things to see and do.

For the historically minded, you can visit Auburn and see the Harriet Tubman House, the home of William H. Seward or the Willard Chapel (the only complete and unaltered Tiffany Glass chapel known to exist). Auburn also has a maximum security prison, home of the first ever execution by electric chair (sorry - there's no gift-shop).

Wine connoisseurs will love being a short drive from the Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka (and other Finger Lakes) wine trails.

Sportsmen will love being 15 minutes from a Bass Pro Shop. Others shoppers will appreciate being 30 minutes from Destiny USA - one of the largest shopping malls in the northeast (complete with an IMAX theater, indoor go carts and a Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville).

Should you need to attend Mass, we are also only 10 minutes away from Sacred Heart Catholic Church (90 Melrose Rd in Auburn).

Staying at White O'Morn is the perfect vacation whether you are looking to do everything or nothing at all.

Second time we have stayed there. Great location on lake. Very quiet. House sits at end of private road. Great view of the lake with all the sliding glass doors in the living room. Great for small children with walk in beach access to the lake.

The Most Beautiful Vacation at White O’Morn!
Our family has rented at Lake Owasco for years and we were in a panic when the home we had always rented suddenly sold. It was meant to be that three doors down we came across White O’Morn and last year we booked it for this past week. This home is amazing in so many ways. We are a family of six with four kids. The kids absolutely loved this home, the bedrooms, and layout. It was perfect to have all the kids upstairs in the two bedrooms - such a cozy space for them and they all loved having their own queen beds. They all said the beds were so comfortable and I also loved that they had drawers for their clothes and closet space. Downstairs is just breathtaking. I can’t even describe the views from the living room. They are stunning! Our bedroom on the main floor was also wonderful. Very comfortable bed and it was really nice to have drawers and nightstands. The deck and outdoor space are incredible. There are multiple decks, which was amazing for the views! The dock is very large and we loved how wide it was at the end. It’s perfect for the whole family to relax and swim. White O’Morn is at the end of the street and makes the home very private with a really great area to swim. It’s much larger swim area than most rentals. And you also have a large grassy area for the kids to play. It’s a short walk to Tom Thumb for ice cream and a wonderful street to be on. We just loved this home and will be back next year!
