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.

Relaxing weekend
True North was a lovely home with beautiful sunrises and a great layout! Laura has all of the details of the house clearly explained in a binder that also includes pictures to help explain some of the more unique amenities (outdoor pizza oven), menus from local restaurants, and addresses of other points of interest. The home is well organized and has several 'high-end' touches that we wish we had more time to enjoy! The house's layout is such that there are 4 private sleeping areas, and 2 different living spaces for groups to gather if needed. As far as location goes, Wegman's is an easy 5-10 minute drive, and we were able to take a nice walk to Schaller's for ice cream (sidewalks all the way). We were lucky that the weather was beautiful, but if it was not, we would have had plenty of space in the house to enjoy indoor family time. The home is stocked with many board games, DVDs and books for all ages. The furniture is current and comfortable, and the ambiance and views are relaxing and suitable for all ages. Thank you, Laura, for adding those potted plants out back for us to enjoy, and for a lovely stay in general!
