This charming 1100 sq. ft. heated year-round vacation rental cottage is on a cul-de-sac, in a lakeside community, along the shores of Lake Ontario. It's located in Hilton New York - a beautiful northwestern suburb of Rochester, New York. Located far enough away to enjoy a secluded retreat from everyday life, but close enough to experience all that Rochester has to offer.
The peaceful cottage is nestled on the south side of the road, on a private 50x250 lot backing up to dense wood. The lake is on the north side of the road. There is little traffic. There is a beach area that has neighborhood walk-in privileges to use. This is a natural beach with no lifeguards. It is natural - may have some beach stones, driftwood and algae.

This unique location consists of cottages, and homes. It is a 2-minute walk from the Braddock Point Lighthouse which is privately own. There is also a tiny public park called Bogus Park, with a fantastic vantage point to watch the sunset next to the lighthouse during most times of the year. Folding chairs are provided to walk down to watch sunset in comfort.

Conveniently located 2 minutes from the scenic Lake Ontario Parkway, this serene setting provides fresh air and the opportunity to kick back and take things a bit more slowly.
This is an optimal place to surround yourself with peace and quiet. The cottage is the perfect mix of a lakeside retreat and a woodland cabin. It has the beautiful rustic touches you would expect with updates. The private setting is enhanced by a deep lot, and the benefit of not being sandwiched between neighboring houses.
This is a very safe neighborhood. We do have security cameras to monitor the driveway.
This is a delightful gem of a place to get away to unwind. Whether it is quiet solitude and reflection or days filled with activities you will find it all here.

Included at no extra charge: high speed wireless internet, Roku & Spectrum Cable Television in living room and both bedrooms.

Additional Things to do: Metro Rochester is within a 30-minute drive. There are great restaurants, theaters, Rochester Redwings baseball, planetarium, science museum, a zoo, and night clubs. There are various festivals throughout the year.
Universities - State University College at Brockport -25 minutes, The University of Rochester-30 minutes, Rochester Institute of Technology-30 minutes, Saint John Fisher College -40 minutes Six Flags, Darien Lake Amusement and Water Park is 45 minutes away. Seabreeze Amusement Park is 25 minutes away. Letchworth State Park called the 'Grand Canyon of the East' is 1 hour away.
Niagara Falls is 90 minutes away. View the mighty falls in various locations, take a trip on the Maid Of The Mist to get a close up look, and visit the casino ! Take the scenic route to the Falls and visit several wineries on the Niagara Wine Trail along the way.
The Finger Lakes Region is about an hour away - There are over 80 wineries to choose from in a scenic environment.

Owners' comments: Summer of 2005 was the first time we offered our cottage for rent after 2 years of renovations. We wanted to open it up and share the beauty with others. We hope you will enjoy your stay and get back to the place you call home refreshed.
We have been blessed to meet wonderful guests over the years from many different States and even Europe, and Australia.
We had very favorable feedback. Guests comment on how clean and spacious it is and that the rooms are much bigger than the photos show!

We delight in welcoming guests of every age. Our goal is to make you feel snug and immediately at home in our cottage.
Our cottage is a wonderful place to spend quality time together to strengthen bonds and connections with those that matter most!


Hilton is a beautiful place to visit anytime of the year. Enjoy the chartreuse springs, golden summers, scarlet autumns and the snow-white winters. Rent our cottage for an old fashion stress-free vacation away from day-to-day distractions. You will not be disappointed.
Hope to hear from you!

Wonderfully Peaceful Weekend
We simply needed a quiet place to gather - a place we could share some of our favorite memories and enjoy each other’s company away from the business of everyday life. Thanks to Mary and Ron.

Host lacks compassion
My girlfriend and I stayed here for our visit to Rochester and my Alma mater at RIT. The house has access to a private beach which is to die for! Unfortunately, when we opened the door we were instantly hit by the toxic fragrance smell of plug ins and scent sticks. My girlfriend has multiple chemical sensitivity and we were not aware there would be such an extreme amount of plug-ins, scent sticks, & other scented items. Right away we messaged the host to let them know and sadly right from the start we were met with gaslighting and no empathy for her reactions to the chemicals. Even with all 10 scent sources removed, we had to have the windows open and fan on during snowstorms each day and sleep in the living room to help her symptoms. We were not able to sleep in the rooms! After a few messages back and forth, we asked what they could do for us. No response. The rest of the trip. After our trip the host continued with no empathy or compassion for our condition and situation. We did eventually ask for compensation for our troubles, but were met with “…thank you for confirming there was nothing physically we needed to do for you.” Overall, we still give it 3 stars for the location, but the lack of communication and empathy was pretty shocking. They felt as long as they weren’t breaking VRBO host guidelines, they did nothing wrong and didn’t even need to respond. Ask questions up front and let them know if you don’t like to breathe toxic fumes all day and night.

Very comfortable holiday stay
Property description and photos are really spot on. We immediately felt at home and all of the furnishings were comfortable and functional. The hosts had a small Christmas tree in the living room area which gave the place a nice holiday feel! Hosts were very responsive to all messages and the check in/out process was super easy. Highly recommended for a lakeside getaway!

Why they chose this property

This is an ideal setting and an affordable vacation rental.

What makes this property unique

This is a walkable, safe and historic neighborhood. It has the Braddock Point light house. It has an Octagon house, the only one on the south shore of Lake Ontario. It also has the only waterfront park in the town of Parma called Bogus Point Park. There have been myths over the years that it was a favorite hideout for “bootleggers” .
This is a great central location to explore Western NY.
This is close to the Erie Canal which was completed in 1825. It allowed commercial goods to move from one end of the state to the other over water. There are many quaint canal towns such as Brockport, Spencerport, and Fairport.
