About this property
Lakehouse at Pillar Point on Lake Ontario, a relaxing home with stunning sunsets
A perfect retreat for individuals, couples, small families, or those looking for a remote work spot, our house boasts views of the most beautiful sunsets on the pristine waters of Lake Ontario. The location offers access to plenty of activities such as world-class fishing, great restaurants, rich historical sites, smaller waterways for canoeing and kayaking, plenty of hiking trails, golf courses, wineries, distilleries, seasonal festivals, skiing, and snowshoeing. Our favorite activity is to just stay at the house, play in the water, grill, and spend time together on the deck watching boats pass and the sun set. In the winter we love to ice fish and cross country ski, then come back to the house to have cocktails around the fireplace.
Our kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and a supply of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a starter supply of coffee and tea. A drip coffee maker, Keurig, French press, and coffee grinder are available.
The large main bedroom has a king bed, double closet, and a sliding door overlooking the water. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the sofa is a luxury sleeper full size pullout. There is a desk and office chair in the kitchen/living area.
Overlooking the water, our living room is equipped for indoor entertainment with a large Smart TV, board/card games, and an assortment of books.
From the large back deck take in the views as you grill and dine. The metal staircase will take you down 15 feet to limestone rock ledges where you can relax in provided camp chairs. This is the only access to the water, down the stairs, as a heads up. We highly recommend that everyone wear water shoes as the rocks in and out of the water are slippery, we do provide a ladder for daily use to easily get into and out of water. Tread at your own risk. We provide life jackets, we require you to use them to swim; swimming is at your own risk. Additionally, across the road, there is a large lawn for games or for parking a boat/snowmobile trailer if needed. Once the sun sets, roast some s'mores at the firepit!

Whether you are looking for a calming retreat from the chaos of daily life, or for just a beautiful, easy place to stay with access to the amenities of Lake Ontario, we’d love to host you at our lakehouse, Hazel's Lookout!
***PLEASE NOTE:
1. There is NO dock nor place to anchor your boat or PWC at the house
2. Google maps will show a picture of our land across the street that has two outbuildings on it, but doesn’t show the actual house. The house is on the WATER side of the road.
3. Our water source is a shore well -- we have a sediment filter, carbon filter, and UV filter. It is your discretion whether to use it as drinking water, all I can tell you is that we sometimes do. We do NOT provide bottled water. The pump is located in the house which creates great water pressure, however it does make noise when it has to re-pressurize, this usually only lasts about a minute.
PETS -- there is a one-time $45 pet fee if you are bringing your furry friend; if excessive pet hair or pet waste is found an additional $50 cleaning fee will be applied.
House Rules beyond what is found in house rules section:
-Quiet Hours: 10pm-7am
-NO PARTIES OR EVENTS
-No smoking inside or outside
-Use the waterfront at your own risk — the water can be unpredictable and the rock can be slippery
-We do not allow third party bookings, meaning whomever books the stay must be the guests that stay
-Pets- one dog max, unless specifically given permission otherwise, dogs must be kept on leash when outside, as above a fee will be incurred for excessive pet hair or any pet waste.
-Please ask for prior permission for additional guests beyond the 5 person max, including daytime visits. Our septic is simply unable to accommodate lots of guests. Any overnight guest over the 5 person max will have a $50 additional fee per guest and needs prior authorization. Any extra guests without prior authorization will incur a fee.

About the host
Hosted by Heather
Originally from the Chicago suburbs, I moved to the heart of the Adirondacks (Saranac Lake) many years ago. I was a backpacking instructor there and called that area my home for 12 years after college. A new profession brought me to the area which is where Bob and I met, fell in love, and have created a home. We love this community and love spending our free time at the lakehouse, we are pretty much outdoors constantly, in every season, yes even in the freezing subzero cold.
Why they chose this property
What made me first purchase this home is the exact reason we still love it to this day. I immediately felt at peace looking over the gorgeous water, the sun was shining, fish were jumping in the water; it was one of those magical moments. While at first it was my primary residence, it has now become our getaway, a vacation spot for our families, and felt that it was too great to just keep to ourselves. We love that it's nothing over the top, but is relaxing, slows us down, and helps fill up our "energy cup" while making lasting family memories.
