Family memories
Our family had a great time. We weren’t aware when booking that there are tenants that live on the 2nd floor of the house. It wasn’t an issue and we hardly ever saw them, but you do not have the house to yourself. The property is great and once John finishes his project near the new break wall it will be amazing! Our boys loved jumping off the boathouse and all the fishing they could do. The kitchen is stocked with some essentials which is great! Plus the washer and dryer were helpful as well. Thanks for sharing this piece of heaven!

Great vacation home.
Great property with fully equipped house and boathouse. We found the owners to be very positive and responsive. The only problem we had was that we didn’t have a MacBook Air with which to run the projection TV.

About the host

Hosted by John Friends

Host profile image
My parents first meet on Sodus Bay in the 1940’s. They married in 1952 while college students at SUNY Oswego and in 1957 purchased the lot on the north tip of Leroy Island. They built a simple two-bedroom cabin and in the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s my two brothers and I spent our formative summers on the bay. There was no bathtub or shower, hot water, telephone or TV until the 80’s.
In 1992 my parents removed the cabin and built the current multi-family home. My parents are no longer alive and my brothers live in the mid west and west coast, so my wife Mary Ellen and I took ownership of the property in 2016. It is our pleasure to share the Friends family home on Sodus Bay with you.

Why they chose this property

The view of the water is awesome. You have the calm bay in front of you and you can see over the sandbar (Crescent Beach) to view the lake. Morning and late afternoon light in the summer is unbelievably gorgeous.

What makes this property unique

The boathouse is second to none. This is structure is grandfathered by zoning laws that went into effect in the early 1980's. This style boathouse can no longer be built and there are very few of them on the bay. It's a bit rustic but kids just love the boathouse and adults will find themselves sleeping soundly with the water lapping underneath. In 2019 the waterfront was rebuilt with steel walls and the boathouse was mounted onto steel, replacing the old RR cribbing structures of the past.
