Welcome to “The Waterfall House”, a family retreat with a gorgeous natural waterfall! Relax and enjoy the most serene location with 8.5 acres of land featuring a private waterfall and stream. This open floor plan home is a perfect spot to gather family or use it as a place to stay while visiting Syracuse. This park like setting is a photographers dream. This is the best location for a true outdoor enthusiast. Spot wildlife from every window in the house or fish for trout in the stream! Located on a quiet road in the town of Manlius, this private 3 bedroom house is the perfect family rental or couples retreat. This is our version of paradise - A mid century modern rustic home in the wilderness. We have updated each room in the home while preserving some of the original 1940’s era charm. Natural light pours into the sitting room which overlooks the waterfall. Cozy up by the wood burning fireplace in the living room on a chilly night.

We highly recommend you bring bug spray if planning to be outside in the warmer months. Mosquitoes and black flies sadly come hand in hand with water and wilderness. You will have access to the Weber gas grill and the propane fire pit which are located on the deck, right outside of the living room. There is a chiminea and 2 Adirondack chairs on the back patio looking out to the Waterfall. As this is our personal residence, we have personal items in closets as well as our garage and basement that are labeled private or blocked off from guest use. The basement is used as my photo studio and is not included in this listing but please inquire if you'd like to rent this space additionally.
