About this property

We are proud to offer guests our dream vacation home on beautiful Lake Ontario. Renovated in May 2023, our home has a large master bedroom facing the lake with a king bed and two other sleep options (described later) and a guest room with two twin beds. Additionally, our home has a full bathroom on the second floor and a half bath on the ground floor. A beautiful family room with amazing views of the lake is joined to the dining area and kitchen. There is an enclosed rear porch with giant windows to enjoy the sunset, read a book or just relax with the lake breeze while listening to music on the wireless Bluetooth speakers we provide. There is an open deck for listening to the waves in the evening, enjoying the sun or watching nature. Our kitchen comes with everything you need; (all new appliances) dishwasher, stove (with a built in air fryer), large sink, refrigerator and a large island to prepare and serve food. We have a fire-pit right on the water were you can see for miles down the beach and on clear nights, Toronto in the distance. Our home has washer and dryer in the basement. We are making every effort possible to maintain the natural environment around our home, and because of that we rely on natural bug control (plants). Unique to our area, our home is surrounded by fireflies, we hope our guests enjoy the natural environment that we love so much. Because we are situated right on the lake you can expect some mosquitoes and spiders outside. The cleaning products used in our home are non-toxic and we provide our guests with Native brand shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We want our guests to be comfortable and to enjoy this beautiful home as much as we do!

Beautiful lakeside cottage

The cottage was a perfect home base for our family. The space was a great size and incredibly peaceful. We were incredibly surprised when we arrived and there was a welcome basket waiting for us. If you’re thinking about renting this cottage, we strongly recommend! Clean, well equipped and a little slice of paradise! Thank you!

Our Solar Eclipse Getaway

We chose this property for its location in the 2024 solar eclipse's "totality zone". We figured if the sun wasn't visible due to weather, we'd still enjoy the beauty of the location. The house is super comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and the lake views are amazing. Jess was very easy to communicate with. We appreciated all the thoughtfulness the hosts put into welcoming us, right down to including a souvenir solar eclipse glass in the box of goodies they left! P.S. Though the clouds blocked out the sun, we did experience the blackout that came over the lake for about 3 mins at 3:20pm. It was awesome.

Beautiful Scenic Spot

We had a great stay in this very cute lakeside spot. While it was a chilly week the lovely views and sounds of the waves were still so enjoyable. The master bedroom looks right over the lake which is so nice. Very user friendly kitchen with open living space. Quick replies from Jess when any questions arose. I'll likely be back in town and won't hesitate to book again.

Excellent for a 2nd time

This was our second time staying at this property and it was just as clean and nice as the first time . Jess is a great host and easy to deal with and she takes the time to leave some local food items from the area for you to sample if you like. I.e. Local apples , pickled green beans , S'mores and many other items. Thanks again to Jess for hosting us and we will be back next time traveling to the area . Scott-

Halfway satisfied

My expectations for my stay here were were high based on the photos, descriptions and price. This house has the potential to be an absolutely amazing getaway. First the exterior needs a good pressure washing. There’s cobwebs all over the exterior of the home, decks and door entry ways filled with bugs. It seemed like no one has been there in a while. On the right side of the home the foundation blocks are smashed out allowing any curious kids to crawl under the home . The view out back where the fire pit was amazing but the backyard needs some fill/drainage. After a day of rain the backyard turned into a swamp and the water sat with bugs swarming us as we tried to have a fire. I also was disappointed there was no easy access shoreline/beach area at the house. Based on the photos posted on the listing and speaking to the property owner it seemed like there was. The photos posted are from a public shoreline up the road from the house . It was a short walk so it wasn’t a big deal but again my expectations were let down a little . The inside of the home has been remodeled and is very nice but again it needs to be maintained . Lightbulbs not working, doorhandles falling off due to setscrew not being tightened , and we had issues with the downstairs toilet not flushing. The upstairs was set up to our liking , especially with having a young child. The biggest nail biter was not having access to the garage as it was advertised. It was full of junk with barely any room to walk in.

Bugs,mold and spider webs

We rented this property due to a family gathering close by . To start with other properties we have rented have a "Welcome " information packet , this home did not.. Owner asked us to contact them upon arrival so they could turn on air conditioning. This was quite difficult since we did not have the wifi password. When we rented pictures showed a master bedroom with a king bed. And a second bedroom with a queen/double bed and a set of bunkers. House description still listed as such .Perfect for our families. My husband and myself. Brother and sister in law and 2 children. When we arrived the master had a king bed and a bed in a closet for a child! Seems rather strange, 6 x 2 ft and still had the doors on. The second room the queen/double bed was gone and the bunks were separated. So to accommodate the changes ,that we were never notified about , my husband and I slept in the twin beds. Senior citizens climbing over the railings that were left on the beds. The king bed was very crowded with 3 people. And one child was willing to sleep in the closet bed. When we addressed dirty duvet cover with the owner . The response was , they were changed a month ago and there were clean ones in the closet . Seriously 1 month ago ! When stripping beds when we left there were stains on the mattress covers and sheets. The outside areas were filthy with bug's, mold and spider webs. I understand the bug's having had lake houses but this wasn't just from a few weeks. It was all there for years. There were trees growing out of the cutters. The enclosed porch looked nice but with all the bug's no one was comfortable to even walk out there. Need a good power wash and vacuuming. Luckily we had extra insulated cups with us since there were only 2 coffee mugs. Listed was grill but without propane it's is rather useless. I don't understand the previous reviews from recent quest. I would have never rented if I had known what we experienced. Maybe VRBO should send "secret " renters to check properties. I feel we were taken advantage of with the changes done after renting without being notified and the condition of outside areas. A partial refund would be appreciated. We have photos if you would like us to send them. Thank you for listening. Hopefully our unpleasant experience will help someone before they decide to rent.

Welcoming

The place felt like a home away from home . Was very welcoming and right on the lake . Was in a good neighborhood. The only thing I didn’t like was it’s a ways away from good restaurants and bars . But I guess that’s expected in that area there’s not much out there but a lot of farmers

Great house on the lake!

Staying here was a great experience! It is a lovely home right on the lake. Being able to sit on the porch and watch the sunset every evening added so much to our trip to see family in the Rochester area. The house itself is clean and comfortable- very quiet. Communication with Jess, the owner was always prompt and pleasant. Definitely recommend this rental property.

Property not quite as expected

The property was not found to be as shown/described. Landscaping is not maintained, over grown with weeds, exterior lights not working, garbage can full to the brim (no lid on can) in front of garage door when we arrived. Property interior was clean, very nice with a full kitchen, comfortable furniture. Interior lights were lacking - not working over vanity in second floor bathroom. Smoke alarm battery died, and the battery left in kitchen drawer didn't work. The grill that was listed as an amenity was actually a grate on the fire pit. For the price paid, we expected an actual grill. We were not sent the access code from the owner ahead of time & it took about 45 minutes to receive it after multiple phone calls. To sum it up, it is a nice place, but because of the price paid with above mentioned shortfalls, a bit disappointing, although we did enjoy our stay.

Lake Getaway

The #1 reason to rent this property is for the view of the lake and the sunsets! This is a very nice property that desperately needs to be cleaned up on the outside. The outside of the house was covered with spiderwebs, spiders and bugs. The landscaping also needs some TLC. On the positive side, the inside of the home is nicely updated with an open concept kitchen, dining room and living room. The enclosed back patio provided a relaxing place to look out over the lake or just read a book. Overall, this was a very relaxing getaway.

Beautiful lake front property with a few caveats

When we arrived, it looked like the cottage had not been opened up in quite awhile. There were spiderwebs everywhere, especially in the bathrooms and on the back porch and deck. Moss growing in between the windows and screens was another clue. The listing says no pets, and while we were happy to leave our pup at home, the couch smelled strongly of dog. At least hide the dog bowls. Other than that, the cottage was as described. If you're planning on doing any sort of cooking, the kitchen is pretty well equipped, but bring a kitchen knife! We spent all of our time on the back porch and deck, as the view of the lake is incredible. Sunsets are not to be missed, and I was up early enough to catch a sunrise. Worth it! We didn't come for the house and had a relaxing weekend enjoying the water and the quiet!

Nice place

Over all very nice stay, location was great, house was comfortable, accommodations were better suited for 4 people not 6. Kitchen was minimally stocked with silverware and utensils and coffee pot didn't work. The garbage from the last guests was stacked in the garage and smelled really bad,. But dispite those few things it was a nice stay.

Cute, tidy cottage.

My parents, 2 adult sisters and my 2 sons stayed here while visiting family in the area. It was very clean, tidy, and simple in its design and appointment of decorative items. The owner was prompt and got back to me with the few questions I had. The bedding was clean and not scratchy. The view was amazing of the lake and we enjoyed coffee in the porch each morning. Only downside was it lacked an outdoor light at the garage and not a lot of coffee cups (set of 4) and no really sharp knives for chopping/food prep. But if you're not doing a lot of cooking, etc., it suits you just fine. Thank you for the nice stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jess Traver

We are very excited to offer our beautiful vacation home to guests. I am from Reno, Nevada my wife Jenn is from Buffalo. We are both military veterans and bought this house as a place for family, friends and guests to enjoy and appreciate the great area we live in. We currently live in Buffalo and love the area, especially the outdoors. We have three small children and want them to enjoy this home for many years to come.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this home at first sight. I was in Germany and my wife was deployed and we wanted a place where our family and friends could gather and build memories. Now that we live in the area we enjoy the home enjoy the home as much as we can and thought it would be great to find great guests that could enjoy it and all it has to offer as much as we do. The lake is beautiful during all year but especially during the spring, summer and fall. It offers picturesque living, great activies and beautiful sights.

What makes this property unique

With a home this beautiful if is difficult to find what you love the most. For everyting the outside has to offer, we also love the interior. This open concept home has beautiful details, we have spent the last 2 years adding our favorite pieces of art from our travels around the world and making it and inviting warm home. The soothing waves will put you at ease and can be heard throughout the home. Its easy to get to has mature trees and a fence protecting the property from the noise of the world around you. We fell in love and hope you will too. We would love for you to be our guest.
