Thank you for your interest in renting our house (we call it camp). We think it is paradise. The camp has been in our family since 1951 when my husband's grandfather bought it. He has been to camp every year of his life. It is a very special place. The camp is 50 feet from Lake Ontario, and Cranberry Pond is on the other side. You will be able to swim and watch sunsets in your front yard, sunrises from the backyard.
Details:
The camp has 3 bedrooms, one bathroom (shower, no tub), kitchen, living/dining room and enclosed front sun room. One bedroom has a queen bed, work desk and sitting area, one has a full bed, and the other has two single beds. Additionally, there is a futon that sleeps 1 and a daybed. There is potable water in the kitchen and bathroom sink. The rest of the house water is from a well. There is an oven, microwave, toaster, skillet, blender, dishes, utensils, serving platters, washer/dryer, etc. There is a gas grill outside and an outdoor fireplace (build by grandpa), picnic table, etc. There is also a TV and DVD player (the TV does not get any channels; you can bring a streaming device). Lake Ontario is the front yard, usually pretty shallow for some distance before getting deeper. There are a few other beaches a short walk away and all accessible to Montario Pt. residents and guests. Camp is just south of Southwick Beach State Park, and 45 min. N of Syracuse.
Guest Access
Private road with onsite parking. Full access to the property, including outdoor gas grill and furniture. Access to Montario Pt. private beaches. The storage shed and a storage closet will remain locked.
Interaction with Guests
You can reach us on our cell phones while you are staying at the camp.
The Neighborhood
The neighborhood is a quiet summer residential neighborhood on a private gravel road nestled between Lake Ontario and Cranberry Pond. Our neighbors and their families have been in these homes for generations.
Getting Around
Montario Pt. is in Mannsville, NY, about 45 min. N of Syracuse, and 15 min. from Pulaski, just off Route 3. Boat launch/popular kayaking destination is just down the road at South Colwell Pond.
Other Things to Note
There is potable water in the kitchen sink and bathroom sink. The rest of the house water is from a well. Please note that the house is on septic, so be aware of water usage (showers, flushes, laundry). There is no trash pickup during your stay. You must take all trash and recycling to the dump or take it with you when you leave. Please wash towels and leave camp as you found it when you check out. There is a cleaning service to touch up and sanitize the camp between renters.
