About this property

Cottage on southern shore of Lake Ontario with sunset views of Toronto skyline

Clean*, cozy cottage on the southern (NY) shore of Lake Ontario -enjoy gorgeous sunsets and a view of Toronto from the backyard. Close to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, too.

The cottage is fully and comfortably furnished and equipped for everything you'll need to enjoy your stay, whether it's for two nights or two weeks, including stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee-maker, and linens/towels, kitchen paper products and laundry detergents. Updated kitchen, bamboo flooring in most rooms, ceiling fans in living room and two bedrooms. Additionally, there's free Wi-Fi, TV, gas grill, and washer and dryer. Of special interest to fishermen, there's room to park your boat trailer - we're just a few miles from boat launches and marinas.

The cottage can sleep 5, with a double bed in bedroom 1, 2 single beds in bedroom 2, and 1 single in bedroom 3.

Great location between Wilson and Olcott , near Niagara Falls and Buffalo, Niagara County wine trail, Artpark concerts, and world-class fishing and boating. 20 minutes from bridge to Canada.

*How clean is "clean"? We may miss the occasional dust bunny (those things are sneaky!), but here's what we do between guests: wash ALL used bed linens, including mattress covers and blankets; clean and disinfect shower, toilet, sink, medicine cabinet and wash bath mat and towels; wipe out fridge, stove and oven, microwave; dust all furniture in bedrooms and living room; sweep and wash floors; wipe/disinfect all door knobs; sweep back porch (we try to wash it, too, but that doesn't always happen). Periodically, we also clean the windows and dust the fan blades and whatever else we notice. My own house should be so clean!

Caveat emptor: We have had absolutely NO COMPLAINTS from ANYONE about any of these (or, frankly, about anything else!), but in the interests of full disclosure, here are some things we think you should know before you reserve. 1. You cannot access the lake shore from the property; we sit up on a bluff. You have limited lake views from the cottage itself; you need to walk out into the yard to really view the lake - but what a view! And you're welcome to bring some chairs or blankets out and lounge around out there to enjoy the sunset or the boats. 2. We live nearby on the property; we believe we're pretty unobtrusive, though, so hopefully you'll have all the privacy you want, while having the added advantage of a readily available source of local knowledge.

Cute cottage
The cottage was super cute and was one of the best stocked houses (they think of things you might miss packing) we have rented. The owners are super friendly and helped us with the fire pit :) Lewiston; Olcott and a number of wineries and parks are close. One of our top girls get away homes! Thank you for a great stay!

Lake View Cottage
Check in and communication with Hosts Dawn and Paul went smoothly and Paul was extremely helpful with getting us situated with WiFi and TV. The property sits about 175 yds off the main road and is very quiet and peaceful. The cottage is adequately stocked with everything you need for a long stay beds and bedrooms took some getting used to and weren’t as comfortable as we are accustomed to. Really enjoys my conversations with Paul and admiring his car collection.

Perfect stay!!!
I stayed in this lovely, spacious, super clean, well stocked and perfectly located cottage for a week and loved every minute of it!! The sunset views were gorgeous! Owners are friendly and available for any questions and if you are lucky, you might get a peak at the classic cars in the garage!! Had a friend with me for a few days and we visited some of the nearby wineries, Black Willow (do the chocolates pairing!) and Vizcarra were our favorites (has a brewery there too, try the Concord Cider!). The Winery at Marjim Manor was a lot of fun too! Nice wines plus a ghost story and the Apple Pie Cheddar Cheese is amazing!!! Favorite places to eat were Bandanas (try their Buffalo Pierogis!!!!!) and the Grain House, personal pizzas were so delicious!!! Vern's Pub was pretty good after a day of traveling to just go somewhere close and the grocery store is practically across the street. Book now!!!! You won't regret it!

Trip to NY
Our family planned a short trip to NY state and spent the majority of our time in Burt. We prefer to stay in smaller towns that are not congested with tourism and this one did not disappoint. The house was as described, a fair price, was very clean, and the owners are quite friendly! We plan to make another trip up in the future to spend more time.

The house was adorable. Everything we needed was available. The view of Lake Ontario was lovely. The owner even lit their fire pit which provided some very nice warmth on a cold evening. Traffic was not a problem.

Relaxing time
In a very quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed sitting by Lake Ontario there is a small cliff so no beach access but that was ok still beautiful views. Property owners live right next door but they don’t intrude. They had cable which my husband enjoyed. Very clean and had any necessity. Only downside was the main bedroom did not have a queen bed

Lakeside dream
The cottage was perfect while visiting family in the area. The kitchen was well equipped, the living room was spacious, and two portable a/c units more than adequate for the couple of warm nights we had. The outside dining was wonderful for family meals and sunsets were spectacular with views of Toronto.. Our grandson (10 yrs) has enjoyed playing with the owner’s grandkids and the space to fly planes. We visited the Wandering gypsy brewery (homemade biscuits the best ever) nearby and 12 Gates brewing in Williamsville for delicious beer and food. Many more to visit next time. Wonderful stay and would love to return.

Long weekend getaway
Although this cottage was less than two hours from home it felt like a million miles away. It offered privacy within the cottage and if it had been warmer a lovely small deck and patio overlooking Lake Ontario in the distance. The location was on the Niagara wine trail and an easy drive to Niagara Falls. This cottage was well stocked with essentials as well. I look forward to returning again.
