About this property

Lakefront 3BR/2BA Cottage on 2.6-acre Private Lot w/Direct Lake Access


This beautiful lakefront cottage has been fully inspected and approved by the Town of Wilson and meets all local rental requirements. If you’re dreaming of a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life—or simply a few days of quiet lakeside serenity—this is the perfect place to unwind.

Nestled directly on the shores of Lake Ontario in Wilson, NY, this charming three-bedroom, two-bath summer cottage offers stunning water views and easy private lake access. Inside, the cottage features a spacious central living and dining area that’s perfect for gathering with family or friends. The kitchen is updated with all new appliances (note: no dishwasher), and every room is equipped with air conditioning for your comfort.

The primary bedroom (14’ x 16’) includes a new king-size bed and mattress and a private en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The primary bedroom has a private walk out deck. The second bedroom (13’ x 13’) features a brand-new queen bed (purchased in 2026) and opens directly onto the deck—perfect for morning coffee or evening breezes. The third bedroom (10’ x 10’) offers a new double bed purchased in 2025.
A second full bath is smaller (6 x 6) and includes a 34-inch shower stall. All come fully stocked with pillows and bedding. The living area also includes a new queen sleeper sofa (2025), Wi‑Fi, cable, and a smart TV.

Step outside and truly enjoy the property’s natural beauty. Dine outdoors, relax in the front gazebo, gather around the fire pit, or simply sit back and take in breathtaking Lake Ontario sunsets. With 2.6 private acres, there’s plenty of space for outdoor activities, quiet reflection, or launching a kayak right from your own shoreline. This is one of the few properties in Wilson offering direct lake access on such a large private lot—at an affordable price.

Convenience meets seclusion: shops and local restaurants are just a five-minute drive away, Lewiston is 15 minutes away, and Niagara Falls and the Canadian border are only 20 minutes from the property. Fishing boat rentals are available nearby in Wilson and Olcott. Service animals are welcome with prior notice to the owner.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM, and check-out is at 10:00 AM. Smoking is not permitted inside the cottage, around the cottage perimeter, or anywhere on the property. Please note there is no washer or dryer on-site, though a laundromat is conveniently located nearby. Fish cleaning is not permitted in the cottage; however, a freezer is available in the garage for fresh catch, as fish may not be stored in the cottage refrigerator.

The property is also available for family reunions, weddings, showers, and other special events. Please contact the owner in advance to discuss event details. We’re happy to answer any questions and help make your stay unforgettable.

Cute cozy cottage!

The cottage is decorated very nicely, was very clean, and the lake views are spectacular. The kitchen lighting is a bit dim, but it was not a problem. The small bedroom is tight, probably more comfortable for one person than two adults. I would definitely stay there again.

A great place to relax with friends and to watch sunsets

Paul and Erin are great hosts. Very responsive and friendly. Several times in the past few years, my friends from around the US and I have returned to our home town (Lockport) to renew friendships. By far, this is our best place to get together and share our experiences. We are already planning to stay with Paul and Erin on our next trip.

We stayed a week and the location was fantastic. Very quiet and the sunsets were spectacular. The house appears recently renovated and was very comfortable. We stay in the area every 8 weeks or so and look forward to visiting again.

It was spiritually cleansing to just sit and stare at that beautiful lake with quiet all around us. We did not entertain there, wanted to keep it to ourselves. Our Roku box connected perfectly with their TV and we were able to watch our shows at night. We loved our visit to the Medina Railroad museum and bought a Tommy Train hat for this old lady. YES WE WILL BE BACK!

This beautiful property nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario was perfect for our family. My younger girls enjoyed fishing on the pond, paddle boating, and taking in the sights and sounds the lake has to bring. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding communities and all the area has to bring. Mostly relaxation for us! The house had all the essentials plus more, to make us feel welcome and at home. The property owners were highly communicative and made check-in to checking out a breeze. Book this property, you won’t be disappointed.

Beutiful lake views

This property has a gorgeous view of lake Ontario. A great place to sit outside and read a book. We took a short drive to Niagra falls and spent the day. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked. Linens and paper products were provided. There was a pedal boat to use on the pond for fishing. Overall a great place to stay and we would definitely return.

Complete recharge

We loved the view and the house so much we never wanted to leave and in fact we changed plans for an outing to get more time to just sit on the lawn and read and relax! It was peaceful and a perfect amount of togetherness and solitude. The wildlife was a joy too. Bunnies, beavers, toads, geese, racoons and fireflies! We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Bailey

Host profile image
We have owned the property for years and have always enjoyed the cottage during the summer months. After many have asked if we would rent it out, we have decided to let others enjoy what we have loved about the cottage. The sunsets are spectacular. This has been a place of many birthdays, wedding showers, and wedding celebrations. It is here waiting for you to make your family memories.

Why they chose this property

You can't put a price on relaxation and creating memories. While there are other cottages available for rent, none offer the same water access, spacious yard, and tranquility as this one.

What makes this property unique

The property features a spacious yard and ensures privacy. It comes fully equipped with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, and everything else needed for cooking. Since there is no dishwasher, the owner supplies disposable cooking utensils and paper plates to enhance the vacation experience for guests.. The property is large enough to part a boat or jet skis.
