A very nice lake getaway
We came to visit over a long weekend for an event in the area. We were amazed by the wonderful Lake Ontario views offered from the property. Everything in the house was clean and in good working order. It was a joy to be able to get away for a few days and enjoy the serenity of the location and explore the area's offerings. The host was communicative, kind, and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
