In the shed you'll find outdoor kid's toys, lawn games, two adult bikes, two youth bikes, two youth helmets, life vests and paddles for the tandem kayak, and usually enough firewood for one fire. The backyard is fenced in, has a gas grill w/ propane and a fire pit for s’mores. The tandem kayak and bikes are used at each guests own risk and under the supervision of a responsible adult. There is enough parking space for four cars. Want to bring along your pet? Please mention it prior to booking as we do have certain restrictions. Also, there is a one-time “pet cleaning fee” of $100 per stay. We ask that pets are always attended by a responsible adult, are leashed when outside the house or fenced yard and waste is picked up promptly and completely. Open the fence gate and walk onto the wooded trails of our neighbor, Verona Beach State Park, where admission is free when walking in. While there, enjoy the sandy beach, swimming, a playground and more! Take time to explore the park or hike the 13 miles of trails throughout the park. The front porch is a great spot to sit under the shade trees and catch the sunset over Oneida Lake directly across the road. Verona Beach is central to many other Central NY destinations such as Turning Stone Casino (15 minutes), The Wild Animal Park (15 minutes), downtown Syracuse (30 minutes), The JMA Wireless Dome (35 minutes) as well as day trips to The Finger Lakes and Green Lakes State Park.

Guest access Guests have full use of the parking, yard, house and shed. The garage is not accessible to guests. Other things to note You will likely want to access Oneida Lake off the sandy beach at Verona Beach State Park by way of the path just steps away from our front porch. Additionally, directly across the street from the house you'll see an open pathway to the lake which you can use for quick access to wade in the water, launch kayaks, snowmobile on and off the lake for ice fishing or get a fuller view of the sunset. This access runs very close to, and in between, two of our neighbor's houses so we ask that you never leave any of your gear here unattended or have gatherings in the shared area. Please follow a “carry in, carry out” policy when using the access point and be extra respectful of our neighbors privacy.
