About this property

Close to Buffalo and Dog Friendly!

This is Hilton's Pinewood, Large family home almost a century old and only 2 blocks from Point Breeze Beach. This home is NOT directly on the lake. Built in the 1930's as a summer retreat. Over the years a room was added on the front, both porches closed off and a master suite added as a 2nd Floor. The downstairs bedroom and the upstairs bedroom have window A/C units. Very small kitchen with older appliances.

*Note the property in not usually rented during the winter months due to a small leak in the roof. The lawn is also not maintained during the winter months, however the dog run is still usable.*

My grandparents retired there and enjoyed working in the gardens for their last 25 years. They enjoyed sharing it with other families when they weren't living there and I want to continue that tradition. It is decorated with family antiques and hasn't changed much in the last 30 years, so it is like a visit to your grandparents house.
It is only a 5-10 minute walk to Point Breeze Beach. Connors and Evans Town Park are each about 2 miles away. Large yard with a fenced in dog run, overgrown gardens and goldfish ponds. There is a fire pit in the yard and a couple of charcoal grills available for renters, buy your own charcoal. Some of the decking around the house is showing some wear and tear, hoping to get it fixed soon. This is a quiet neighborhood with yearlong residents surrounding our property.

Home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. New mattresses in 2 of the bedrooms. Sleeps 6. Rustic charm with original cabin details. Bathroom on first floor is very small. Upstairs bathroom much more spacious. Older carpet through most of home. Ceiling fans upstairs and down. Our family still uses it so it is stocked with dishes, general supplies and we sometimes keep food in the refrigerator.

Parking for 2 cars in front paved driveway. Includes Wi-Fi, Roku stick with Netflix, Disney, HULU and HBO+. DVD player and small assortment of movies provided.

This home is not updated and has only recently been converted to a part-time rental property. There are the same dishes that my family has used for 50 years in the cupboard. The carpets have stains in spots, but have been professionally cleaned. There is a water stain on the ceiling in the bedroom from an old leak that has been fixed for years. Please be aware that this home is used by members of my family in between rentals. We clean it thoroughly before each guest arrives.

About the host

Host profile image
I am the granddaughter of Eugene and Alene Hilton the former owners of the property. As the executor of their estate I am renting out there home to help support the family being able to keep the property for future generations.

Why they chose this property

My Great Great Grandfather and Great Grandfather built this home in the 1930's. My grandfather, Eugene Hilton, was sickly as a boy and the beach weather helped with his health. After years of putting up a tent at Evangola State Park, my Great Grandfather, who was a bricklayer bought a lovely lot with trees in Point Breeze to build a family cottage. It was originally one room with a basement. Eventually porches were closed in and a 2nd floor addition was put on. I spent every summer as a child there, playing on the beach and having cook-outs in the yard. I want to share it with as many people as possible because it is peaceful and tranquil and a wonderful place to unwind from the daily grind.

What makes this property unique

It is very quiet and is on a triple lot, so it is fairly private. It is in a residential neighborhood with a mix of summer rentals and year round residents.
