River cabin on the banks of the Genesee

Our beautifully restored vintage 1940's "Fireman's Cottage" is nestled on the banks of the Genesee River in Scottsville, NY, within a small, quiet hamlet of a dozen or so original cottages known as Mile Wood.

The cottage is just 15 minutes from the city of Rochester, 10 minutes from the airport and U of R, and just 5 minutes from the RIT campus, making this a perfect location for visiting parents, couples looking for a private getaway and a great alternative for families.

The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen with full size appliances, perfect for those cost cutting family meals. Enjoy our private outdoor deck riverside. A table/ chairs and umbrella, along with gas grill and comfy chairs makes for easy living by the water.

All household linens are supplied and there is on-site laundry available for your use, making easy work for families. Bring less - play more!

Cozy but not clean.
This place makes us feel cozy. However, the cleanliness is not up to par. There are lot of dead bugs in some corners of the room and around the windows. Also found some calcium around the kitchen faucet. Look like the cleaning service didn't do a good job. Why should I pay for cleaning service?

Quirky cottage
The owners were professional innkeepers and it shows in the decor and amenities. Loved the location and the peace of the river. Very quiet neighborhood. The cottage is getting a little run-down and needs a little TLC. Would have been nice to know about the well water. Would stay here again.

Remember it is a cottage
Darling cozy cottage. Bed super comfortable. Quiet except occasional neighbor dog who greeted us when we arrived in the dark when we didn’t expect it! Shower valve could use improvement. Back patio nice to just sit out on. Open floor plan which was nice.

Beautiful spot, close to everything
This cottage is in a small community, set far from the road--very peaceful and lovely, where you can just sit and watch the river go by, or play horseshoes in the front yard! Some maintenance issues made it harder for us to enjoy our stay, but the owner is very responsive. We loved being close enough to RIT and all kinds of shopping and dining, yet we could retreat at any time to this cozy, well-appointed getaway.

River View
Small cottage along the Genesee river. Very eclectic furnishings. Bed was comfortable, kitchen functional. We enjoyed watching the boats go by as we sat out on the back patio. Quiet, secluded setting.

Good place to relax
Was cozy and comfortable. First time in Rochester, so we did sightseeing for most of the day and relaxed at the cottage in the evenings. Good place!
