About this property

Lovely, Open Cottage on Lake Ontario


  • Our family cottage is nestled in the woods with 150 feet of waterfront property overlooking beautiful Lake Ontario.

    Our property has three levels for you to enjoy your surroundings. The deck attached to the house offers stunning views of the lake and sunset. Grill and dine, read a book, or simply relax while you enjoy the tranquility. A flight of stairs off of the deck leads you to a grassy area where you will find Adirondack chairs around a fire pit. Continue along a walkway and down another flight of stairs and you will arrive at our beach deck on the shore. Go for a refreshing swim or take a kayak excursion. Or simply sit on the deck and enjoy the sparkling water and sea breeze!

    Robert G. Wehle State Park is minutes away and offers many amenities, including miles of hiking trails, tennis and pickleball courts and a brand new playground for the kids. Take a picnic lunch and walk along the beautiful cliff trail to the slate shoals where you will find picnic tables and restrooms.

    There are sandy beaches a short drive to the north or south. Picnic tables and grills dot the beach at Westcott State Park and Southwick State Park.

    Stroll through the picturesque town of Sackets Harbor, visit the charming shops, historic sites and battlefield, and dine at one of the many waterfront restaurants.

    Anglers take note! Boating and fishing enthusiasts flock to this area every summer. There are many fishing charters available in Henderson Harbor and boat rentals at our local marinas for a reasonable price. If you own a boat, there is no place to park or turn a boat around on our road, which is a dead end. However, you can park your trailer on our property at the top of the hill or at the local marina.

    For the more adventurous, the Black River in Watertown boasts some of the best whitewater rafting in the country.

    Explore the area with day trips to the Renaissance Fair, the Thousand Islands with ferry rides to Boldt Castle, and the Enchanted Forest Water Safari in the Adirondacks.

    An evening is not complete without a trip to The Trolley for an ice cream cone, an upstate NY summer tradition.

    This three bedroom, two bath home sleeps six adults comfortably. All three bedrooms have air conditioning units. There is a washer and dryer available for your use.

What an incredible house! My husband, dog and I truly enjoyed our stay. Jeannie and Janet were phenomenal - so communicative and thoughtful! The bed and couch were both comfy, and that view is everything. It's very close to Robert Wehle State Park, which has wonderful dog-friendly trails. We will definitely be back!

The property has a great view of Stoney Island., and north toward Canada. After dark you can see the lights from the wind turbines in Canada. There is DG Market fairly close by which was handy for our breakfast needs. We were there for a wedding at South Beach. It was perfect for needs.

Fantastic Relaxation

We loved our stay at this wonderful hidden gem! Spacious and clean. We were able to still enjoy sitting outside on the deck even during the rainstorms with the roofed alcove. The view from the shore sitting area was beautiful! And the hosts were very helpful with any questions we had. We're already planning our next trip here!

Perfect Fall Weekend

This was the perfect lakefront home for a relaxing, long weekend away. Owners are very responsive and helpful! The sunset views were amazing and our dogs loved exploring down by the lower dock! Extremely quiet neighborhood, but not far at all from restaurants. We ate at Carbones one night and then Tin Pan Galley after spending an afternoon in Sackets Harbor… Both were excellent recommendations! Our favorite activity was the hiking in Robert Wehle state park- absolutely breathtaking views of Lake Ontario! We’ll definitely be back to visit the area again!😊 Thank you for sharing your beautiful family home with us, Kimberly & David (And Hondo & Rory too🐾🐾)

Roxy

The property was spacious, with three bedrooms and two baths. We used only one bedroom and bath —good news for the cleaning crew. The only complaint I have is the noisy and inefficient air conditioning system. Maybe the owner can hire a professional to fix this problem. Anyway, we had a good time and most likely will rent again.

We really enjoyed this property for it's views, cleanliness, comfort, and size. The views from the back deck, grassy area by the firepit were amazing and yes the sunset view is spectacular too. Access to the lake was a great bonus and we did a bit of swimming and kayaking on lake Ontario right from the property. We stayed there as part of a trip to the thousand islands but really enjoyed coming back to the house for it's peace and quiet. Found myself often just staring out at the lake and sea gulls. The state park next door was great place to walk our dogs and we found a nice spot in Henderson Harbor (Carbone's waterside) that was pet friendly dining outdoors on the water. We really had a great stay!

Weekend stay

Stayed here in the fall, simply looking for peaceful silence. And it provided that both times. Have zero complaints and it’s a great spot for either fall or spring and I’m sure it’s absolutely lovely in the summer.

A Little off the beaten path, but lovely. Peaceful and very quiet. Water was wonderful. You do need water shoes as it is a rocky beach.

The description of the property was accurate. Lovely sunsets, beautiful view, fire pit to enjoy s’mores and local Whele state park was gorgeous! We were very pleased with the immediate communication responses from owners and they were very accommodating. Thank you.
