➤Listing Space
Welcome to "Whitewater-The Main Sail on Oneida Lake/Sleeps 11!", a spacious retreat located right next to Oneida Lake, Sylvan Beach and Verona Beach. Our property offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury, making it an ideal destination for large groups, families, and anyone looking to experience the beauty of the lake while enjoying all the comforts of a cozy home.
This listing is only for the larger downstairs unit, which has its own separate entrance from the other upstairs unit. The Main Sail's front door is located closest to the road you drive in on, which is located on the opposite side of the house than the upstairs unit's entrance that is facing the lake upstairs. It's important to note that another group may be renting the other unit however we have dedicated two completely separate outdoor hang out spaces for each of the two units to maintain privacy and respect. We have had zero issues in this department and just ask for everyone to communicate if there ever is any issue whatsoever, most importantly send me a message or give me a quick call first! When renting the more spacious MainSail unit you will not have to climb stairs to enter. The deck out the back sliding glass door facing the lake is newly renovated and this unit has an amazing lake view!!
To recap, this listing is for the upstairs unit but our property includes two separate units, each can be rented individually and we have a combined listing that we offer (airbnb.com/h/whitewaters) that you can have the whole place to yourself as one large vacation rental! The Main Sail has a sprawling footprint, extremely spacious so you can spread out for privacy and features 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with its own private back deck to entertain!
