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.

Brandon Hicks was easy to communicate with. Place was very clean. Enjoyed our stay. Being that close to the water and watching the sunset sitting around the fire was so relaxing. When the weather is rainy, you still have a wonderful view setting around the dining room table.

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.

Great Experience

Everything about this cottage was perfect for a quiet respite from the world. The sunsets are beautiful from the bluff and though there is no water access from the cottage itself, we loved being up above the water and listening g to the waves crash into the rocks as we slept. The beds were very comfortable but definitely recommend bringing fans if you are staying in the warmer months for the 2 upstairs bedrooms that do get a bit toasty. There was 1 fan on-site but we brought several others along. The swing by the water is perfect as well as the beautiful trees that light up at night. The road it’s located on is a beautiful location for a peaceful walk as the left hand side butts up to state land and is undeveloped. Lots of trees and birds. It felt like I was walking a trail. I can imagine this would be an incredibly beautiful location in the fall as well. Perfect, peaceful stay!

Beautiful location

I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I am 79 and I would suggest some changes in the first floor bathroom. I would put non-slip tape strips on the bathtub floor and gripper bars on the sides of the tub. I did not use the shower because I was concerned about slipping and falling. These two suggestions are not a big deal but they would certainly make a difference for senior citizens like me.
