Gorgeous views
The location was exquisite. The only reason I gave a lower score was the rugs. While I deeply deeply appreciate somewhere that accepts dogs, the carpet was so stained and dirty. Yellow stains everywhere from other peoples animals. May I suggest pulling the carpet up and putting tile down? But again the location and the views were DYNAMITE!!

Lovely cottage and property.
My two sisters and I enjoyed our 3 night stay in this cottage right on the lake. From early morning sunrises, late morning coffees, evening wine, and after dark boat lights, the lake views were beautiful. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. Restaurants and stores were within walking distance as well as a short drive away. The owners were welcoming and ensured that we had all that we needed during our stay. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful winter stay
The property was very nice and well stocked. We went in the winter so we were happy to see that the cottage was well heated and we were comfortable the entire time. The owners checked on when we arrived to be sure everything was in good order and responded quickly to a question I had. It is very much like the listing describes and you are right on the water. We had some good lake effect snows while we were there so we didn’t spend too much time outside, but I imagine that it is a lot of fun in the summer. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Experience
This place was perfect. We had family over for a bon-fire and cook out every evening. I was able to tie up a rental pontoon boat to the dock just 50 feet from the back door. I would not recommend this cottage to anyone with vertigo or balance issues as the floors are a bit sloped.

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Ulrike Kelleher

Host profile image
Jim has been living in the Buffalo area nearly all his lifetime. Now we do live in Hamburg. As a world-traveller we always love to come back to enjoy our four seasons. As everybody else - we like to spent quality time after hard working days and weekends. Our passions are woodworking, cooking, sewing, being creative in many ways and enjoying our beautiful nature.

Why they chose this property

As a child and teenager, Jim spent many vacations with his family on this lake. They were fishing and swimming and he always dreamt to have his own cottage on this beautiful lake. Ulrike dreamt of a cottage to host and cook for her guests, sew, paint and write books. This dream has become a reality. With this property, we found the perfect location for our family to live in for generations to come. You will see some unique pieces within the cottage, that will be renovated over time. The perfect stay in summer and autumn. A place to fish, enjoy sunrises and evenings at the fire pit as well as culture and hosting friends from around the globe.

What makes this property unique

What makes this Cottage unique:
Jim searched the net for a weekend house. When we saw the breathtaking view from the balcony and the opportunity that is given with our own dock it took only days to make the buying decision. The views are amazing at any daytime and out of the large windows. Relaxing times with a BBQ or at the fire pit are as easy as enjoying time on the lake itself. The proximity to harbor, restaurants and to many attractions is just awesome, cause we like to walk or bicycle.
