Beautiful home in a perfect location. Loved the screened porch especially! Had everything we could have wanted — thoughtful touches like extra sunscreen as well as comfy couches with a view of the lake and beach chairs for all day on the sand!

Another perfect stay!

This was our second stay, and it was just as great as the first! The location can't be beat, and the sunset views are absolutely stunning. The house is spotless, well-stocked, and incredibly comfortable. We truly felt at home. Barry and Steph are great hosts - responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Lake House 2022

To begin, the road to the lake house was interesting and it is a nice kept secret tucked back in right on the lake!! we were more than excited upon arrival!! there were seven of us staying at the house, it was very spacious for living and with all the windows the breeze was incredible!! the access right out to the lake was simply amazing! i’m not sure what our favorites were, the breathtaking sunsets or the waves or the never ending sand, the nighttime fires on the beach or the sounds of the waves at night rocking you to sleep! The Lake House was amazing and met any and all expectations we had! We will be back!! The O’Connor Family!

Gorgeous!

This property is simply stunning! We had the most relaxing week enjoying the beach. The location is second to none; steps away from the private sandy & shallow beach. The home is clean and very comfortable, offering beautiful views of the water. The home came equipped with everything we could have needed and more. Our family loved dining together on the screened in porch and taking in Lake Ontario's sunsets each evening. The owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to returning after making such wonderful memories!
