Waterfront, Boat, Hot Tub, Movie Theater Firepit

Welcome to the historic Pearson House, built in 1907 & now open for the first time to guests. Nestled on 275 feet of Owasco River waterfront, this impeccably designed & restored 4,300 sqft home blends classic charm with modern comfort.

Enjoy the outdoors with our hot tub, grill & fire pit or relax indoors with our pool table, ping pong table, movie room & bar.

A 10-minute river ride transports you to the stunning Owasco Lake.

Welcome to the impeccably renovated Pearson House, where historic charm meets modern luxury. Designed by professional interior designer, Megan Hart, this property will meet design lovers` high expectations.

Enter through the grand foyer into a formal living room adorned with a Lulu & Georgia couch and antique furnishings, perfect for unwinding in front of the TV. Adjacent is the vibrant game room featuring a central pool table and a bar area with stools for socializing.

From here, explore the inviting library stocked with books and a Six Penny couch, or dine in elegance in the spacious formal dining room, seating 14 guests comfortably. The dining room seamlessly connects to the fully equipped kitchen via a servery stocked with fresh coffee beans, Nespresso pods, and a variety of sweeteners and creamers. Tea and hot chocolate are also provided for your enjoyment.

The kitchen itself is a chef’s delight, complete with everything needed for culinary creations, along with a cozy dining table and a charming reading nook overlooking the serene backyard and waterfront. A convenient half bath completes the first floor.

Upstairs, discover five meticulously appointed bedrooms, each boasting hotel-quality bedding for a restful night’s sleep. Two beautifully renovated full bathrooms offer designer finishes and amenities.

On the third floor, find a serene bedroom with water views, alongside a luxurious movie theater room featuring eight reclining chaise lounge chairs and a large projector screen.

The entire Pearson Home is yours (and only yours) to explore and enjoy during your stay.

Our team is available 24/7 to assist you during your stay. Simply reach out to us via Airbnb.

The neighborhood is very friendly--our neighbors are aware of the property being Airbnb and are excited to have visitors in the area.

I`d recommend having a vehicle with you, but there is also Uber and Lyft available. As well as Instacart, which allows you to spend more time at the house than at the grocery store.

Pets are welcomed at a $75/per pet, per stay.

PONTOON
The pontoon rental is $200 per day. If you wish to rent the pontoon, we will send a request for the rental amount and a rental contract after booking. The pontoon boat is available for rent from Memorial Day weekend (last weekend of May) til October 1st, weather-permitting.

DISCOUNTS
We run last minute bookings, midweek specials and long stay discounts. Please inquire for more information.

Beautiful property on the water!

We had the best girls weekend relaxing at the house with so much to do in the house and surrounding areas. The pictures don’t do the house justice, the home is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed having the movie theatre as well. The host was so easy to communicate with and at the end of our stay we promised to come back!

Beautiful Large Historic Property

We rented this house as a central meeting point for family to gather over Thanksgiving. We had more than enough space to accommodate three generations of family. The house and property are extremely large with so much to do, even in colder months - s'mores, horseshoes, billiards, ping pong, theater room and so many spaces to explore throughout the house! As a lover of historic properties, interior design and architecture - this house absolutely blew me away. So many original details and in pristine condition! The hosts were incredibly responsive and gracious throughout our stay.

Space to Roam

This large property has space to roam and the home is spacious to accommodate three families very comfortably! There is a fantastic park across the street with bocci, pickle ball, playground,& splash pad. We enjoyed playing ping pong and pool through the stay and brought the kids to a gymnasium for a few hours down the road when it was raining! Skaneateles is minutes away, so we toggled between the two lakes. Definitely worth every penny..,

This is a great house - very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It fit 15 of us comfortably. The boat was great fun and reasonably priced. The yard/property was perfect for whiffle ball games and cooking out. The hosts were very quick to respond and super helpful.

Great house and the boat was so key for my family of 6! We rented it for 3 of our 6 days and it provided so much entertainment and family fun. The pool table was also so great for bringing our teenage girls together for the week! Bonus - Madi was amazingly responsive and I felt so confident that she would get back to me within minutes if I had any questions.

Pearson Home

This home was fantastic for our large family gathering! The home, built in 1907, has old charm with modern conveniences. The kitchen and outdoor grill allowed us to cook dinner each night and the dining room was large enough for the entire family to eat together. The bedrooms had plenty of flexible for sleeping arrangements for large groups. Even with 12 people there, it always felt like there was plenty of room to spread out - some watched movies in the theater, played pool, 2 living rooms, kitchen table, or sat on the porch. We also took advantage of the large river front area for outdoor activities and a nightly fire. We are also glad we took advantage of the pontoon for a day at the lake. There is a grocery store just a few minutes away for anything needed. The owners were incredibly fast to respond to any questions and were very accommodating throughout the stay!Highly recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Our family of 6 adults were so excited to visit the Finger Lakes for the first time. The house is very old and has amazing bones located on the Channel but across the Owasco fire dept on a very busy, noisy main road. The kitchen was not cleaned properly in additions to many other areas of the home. Carpets and furniture were dirty and full of stains. The pantoon boat was old and carpeted and full of bees and not fully fueled up as it should have been. Unfortunately the grand home is run down and in need of repair and a very good cleaning. Spider webs, dead bugs and dust everywhere. The 3rd floor movie room has a very old/outdated LCD projector which has not functional. This listing was Not consistent as described on VRBO and the management team was very apologetic after the photos I sent them to document my complaints but did absolutely nothing to help us. I had specifically requested they communicate with their cleaning team prior to our arrival to ensure the home was clean and they just gave me lip service. They wanted to send someone over during our family vacation which was ridiculous since it was an over priced 4 day stay. I did requested the cleaning fees at least be refunded and that has not been acknowledged . Unfortunately not at all happy with our stay.
