Enjoyed staying here. The house is very clean and both well decorated and supplied. We really enjoyed having a fire pit to spend time at in the evenings. Despite being near a major road it was quiet and peaceful.

Annual NY Fishing trip

The rental was clean and in a central location to fishing streams and other destinations. The property was overlooking the Oak Orchard River adding to the beauty and comfort of the stay. The fishing was very good, so overall this was an awesome trip! Thank you!

Cute and Quiet

We stayed here with our family during a two week east coast getaway. It was a good location as we spent time in Rochester and visited Niagara Falls. It is quite remote and the little store next door is closed now. Laura is quick to respond and the the sleeping accommodations are very comfortable.

Great accommodations for a charter fishing trip

Five of us celebrated a bachelor party with a charter fishing trip. We were quite a range of ages. The Lake House was a great place to stay. It was close to the marina and several restaurants. It has a nice fire pit with chairs outside, overlooking the river. Bring firewood if you plan on using the fire pit or you can buy some nearby which we did.

Good accommodations

Casual fun place to stay with the family for a nearby wedding. Loved being able to look out over the water and walk on the docks. Nothing fancy about the house, but has all we needed. OK, a dishwasher would be nice! We would come again. Thanks Laura.

Nice place

Perfect stay with all the amenities needed. From kitchen cookware utensils to bathroom hooks to hang wet towels and places to set down your toiletrie bag. Places for everyone to sit and also eat together because of the beautiful handmade large dinning room table. Screened in front porch made it super nice to still be outside when it rained! Definitely recommend this house.

Great!

My family and I loved the property. The beginning was a little off with a full day of travel and then not having the correct code to enter the home, but within 45 minutes, we were in and getting warm! There was plenty of room for the 7 of us and we would most definitely recommend and book again! Many thanks to Laura and her assistant Theresa!!

Wonderful

Overall a wonderful stay! Communication was smooth and Laura, went out of her way to accomodate our family. The house is very clean and beautiful! We were in awe the moment we entered the house. We love everything about it specially the decors and the fixtures. In addition, the kayaks are perfect as the children paddled on the creek. We also enjoyed the Circle R farm 5 minutes away from the house. Their ice cream is delicious. Overall, great memories were made in the house and we are planning to be back.

Cute House

The home was perfect for our family. Loved the views, the docks and the absolutely quiet nights. The home was clean and comfortable. There is a little grocery store for little things you may have forgotten right across the parking area. We also discovered the best ice cream stand only 2 miles away called Circle R. They also have a produce store and yummy food truck. It may feel like it's far from everything, but it really isn't. We loved the location. We will definitely be rebooking as soon as we know when we can travel up that way again.

Nice, Simple House

Simple and spacious. Enjoyed the little, rustic screened in porch. Was not expecting the long staircase and ramp down to our boat, as the pics didnt really show. But, perfect for getting out on the water easily. The host was very hospitable and helpful. Only negatives were that the plug-in air fresheners gave me a headache and I had to pull them out until we were checking out. And, the window AC units did not keep the whole house cool and they were rather loud.gave

Great house for anglers

The house was perfect for 4 steelhead fly fishermen and close to the action on the water. Loved the view from the porch and watching tundra swans on the River. The owner was fantastic and very helpful. This will be the first place we check for availability on our next trip.

Family vacation and fishing

Very convenient location for going to Niagara Falls, and close to all the places we go Salmon fishing. Now instead of driving an hour from Rochester to go fishing , we only drove about 3 miles . House was very clean and a very nice place. We will definitely try to stay here again. Ron F.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Olinger

Host profile image
I’m a frequent traveler who spends a lot of time on the road for work and personal trips, and I’ve always appreciated the comfort and character of well-cared-for private rentals. I love places that feel personal, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed especially those close to nature and the water.

Being a host allows me to offer the kind of stay I look for myself: clean, comfortable accommodations in a quiet setting, with easy access to everything that makes the Oak Orchard and Point Breeze area special. I live locally and truly enjoy helping guests make the most of their time here.

Why they chose this property

Oak Orchard Creek offers a rare sense of peace and natural beauty that’s hard to find elsewhere. The calm water, scenic surroundings, and slower pace make it the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

In the summer months, the area truly comes alive, from world-class fishing to boating, kayaking, and unforgettable sunsets just a short drive away at Point Breeze and Lake Ontario. It’s a serene setting that still keeps you close to everything you’d want to explore.

What makes this property unique

Our property offers a rare combination of private lodging and on-site marina access along Oak Orchard Creek. Guests staying at the Lake House and Catfish Cottage enjoy direct access to the creek, with boat docking available right on the property.

This setup is ideal for travelers and fishing guests who want to stay close to the water without the crowds. With quiet surroundings, private parking, and easy access to Oak Orchard Creek and Lake Ontario, the property provides a peaceful, convenient base for boating, kayaking, and fishing-focused stays.
