Serene Canal Retreat

This adorable one BR space in an 1800’s home is located on a scenic windy road trailing along the Erie Canal. A quiet canal side retreat that is picturesque, against the backdrop of the countryside.

-4 min from the Village of Spencerport
-16 min to SUNY Brockport
-16 min to Downtown

A great place to tuck away and relax, work remotely, or to rest your head after a day of enjoying the area. Bring your kayak! Dedicated NYS Kayak launch just across the street.
*Note: Identity verification is required along with a legitimate photo ID and prior positive host review. Failure to have all these does not meet the requirement to book the listing.

Other Thing's To Note: As part of the country living experience, you will find that we are serviced by well water. In addition to a standard water filter, we have a Nelson ATO System which treats iron and sulfur. However, you still may find that our water can look, taste, or smell differently than what you may be used to.

We do provide a Brita pitcher for drinking water and making tea or coffee. Additionally being in a more rural setting and next to the canal you will experience more bug friends than your urban counterpart settings.
Our team is available by phone, text or booking platform. Our preferred mode of communication is via the booking platform you have selected. Several of us help to manage the communication so to ensure our most prompt response time, platform messaging is the way to go.

As far as physical interactions, we like to provide privacy. On the off chance that something needs to be fixed or replaced during your stay we may swing by ourselves or send one of our maintenance personal to remediate the issue.
Just 4 minutes outside the Village of Spencerport, you’ll find this quiet street which trails along the Erie Canal. As you travel down our road, you’ll see fishermen lining the unique lagoon along this part of the canal area known by locals as Wide Water. Nearby you’ll also find a kayak launch with free parking.

Nearby Attractions Include:
-Robb Farms
-Homesteads for Hope Community Farm
-Buttonwood Golf Course
-Arrowhead Golf Course and Marina
-Spencerport Village Restaurants and Bars
-Spencerport Canal Museum
You will have access to a private Apt. There is only 1 designated spot for your vehicle.
A small, cozy, and serene one bedroom unit in a 3 unit 1800’s home. Features:

-1 Bedroom w/ Queen Bed
-TV in w/ Ability for Netflix & App Sign-In
-Shampoo/Conditioner Provided
-Kitchen Stocked with Cooking Essentials

You will share your entrance with our friendly neighbor, who lives in the unit beside yours. So please be mindful that you will share some walls and will also hear some movement from time to time. There are two residents in total who live on site and will share the premises and driveway with you.
When you arrive at your place, you’ll have parking for one vehicle. Please park in the first spot near the apron of the driveway on the far right side at a 45 degree angle. This ensures all other vehicles can enter and exit without having to rearrange.

Spencerport stay
The quiet canal retreat was indeed quiet. The property was exceptionally clean and well maintained. I did not recall the listing stating that the bathroom and bedroom were on separate floors. That might present a problem for some considering a stay. Taylor and Rachel were always available to answer any questions we had. We had a very enjoyable stay on our "reunion" trip to Brockport and discovering the lovely village of Spencerport. Thanks again Taylor and Rachel. Chris

My husband and I were very happy at this little cottage. Perfect location for visiting our families in Greece and Brockport…we were seemingly right in the middle. Plus I love the Spencerport area. Very clean and everything you need is there. We will definitely book this place again!

Little gem
We enjoy staying at Taylor and Rachel's. The house is located on a quiet road very close to town. It is within walking distance to a place for fishing, and the Erie canal, where there is a perfect trail for walking or bike riding.
