Second Stay as Nice as the First!

Having stayed at this wonderful property in May of 2019, the relaxing sounds of the waves crashing against the rocky shore of Lake Ontario were calling us back. This is a gem of a rental, comfortable and spacious for three adults. The kitchen is fantastic, well-equipped, and the views from dining room and porch are spectacular. Brandon was great to work with (again) and we look forward to another return visit sometime in the future.

Over the Top!!

This lake house went beyond my expectations. Besides being super clean it was so well equipped we only needed to bring our consumables. Amazing sunsets!!! If you are into walking it's easy to get your "10,000 steps /day" in while walking along the shoreline road admiring the beautiful properties along the lake. I'm looking forward to reserving this property again in the future. Nancy LoBello

Nice location for family get together

We stayed here to be close to where my sister has her camp site. The house fit us perfectly in terms of size of our family. Air conditioning would have made the stay more comfortable as it was hot. Cleaning service probably needs more direction as we did a lot of our own cleaning. Including washing the comforters. Add a screen to kitchen window. We could not open because of no screen. Sweep the deck. Lots of cobwebs. Thanks to owner for giving us a new set of pots and pans. Would also recommend inventory of what’s in the kitchen. Could use more silverware. Thanks for being so responsive to our needs and questions.

It's a lovely lakehouse! We (grandma, myself, my sister, her husband, and our two kids, 1 teen, 1 tween) had a great weekend. The view from the back porch is amazing- right on the water and you can see a gorgeous sunset. The swing was Grandma's favorite place. The weather was too windy for us to grill or have a fire, but there is a fire pit and grill that I imagine would be great to use. The house was clean and well equipped for cooking. We went to the state park beach as well as mini golf, ice cream, and go cars right nearby. Brandon was clear and helpful in communications. We would definitely come back.

Picturesque & Serene on Lake Ontario

Loved this property! Cozy but also roomy & updated kitchen. View of Lake Ontario was breath-taking and back deck/yard was even better than the pictures! Breezes off the lake were wonderful. Enjoyed our time with family and will visit again. Thank you, Brandon, for making the process easy and for letting us enjoy your home!
