Wonderful trip
We had a great stay in this beautiful lakefront property - wonderful views from the rooms. Great, responsive property managers. The only hiccup is that there are quite a few stairs (slippery stairs) that my toddler insisted in climbing herself and there's no effective way to barricade them off. A part of the stairs doesn't have a railing, too. Just a word of caution in case it's helpful but otherwise it's a beautiful, convenient, and comfortable house with stellar views. Highly recommend!

Spectacular outdoor space on Lake Ontario
We enjoyed the home and particularly, the well furnished outdoor space overlooking the lake. The outdoor grill, pizza oven, and fire pit were fun to use, and the house was conveniently stocked with kindling and firewood. In fact the home was thoroughly stocked with everything needed - it was the best stocked rental we have ever used! It was extremely clean. The two beaches, the nearby small rocky beach and the larger sandy Ontario Beach (including pickleball courts) were fun. The Bristol Mountain Aerial Adventures (in the Finger Lakes) high ropes course was a blast! And there's a course for 4-7 year olds. We enjoyed miniature golf, the Strong Museum, Shore Acres golf (2 minutes), kids' splash park in Greece, Lake Seneca Park Zoo, and of course, garbage plates and Abbott's custard. The lake flies were out on the last day and night we were there, but did not otherwise bother us. This home has been thoughtfully arranged, stocked, and maintained for a fun and relaxing vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Masterson

Host profile image
I grew up in Rochester, NY and spent many summers on the sandy beaches of Lake Ontario. I have managed rental property for many years between Rochester, NY and Asheville, NC . The lake house has been completely updated and is ready for guests. I look forward to making sure that your vacation is perfect!

Why they chose this property

Guests have remarked that the sunrises are worth getting up to see, having a coffee on the deck or patio and enjoy the peace. With views from almost every room, you really feel like you are away from it all. The outdoor grill and pizza oven have been popular for dinner year round. The fire pit is also a great way to end the evening summer or winter.

What makes this property unique

You may see bald eagles year round, swans overhead and in the water, our mink family scampering on the rocks and patios, Canada Geese, and Purple Martins who occupy the birdhouse May until October.
