Rocky Point #1 is a beautiful property with amazing lake views from the kitchen, the expansive deck, and the convenient dock. The house was well-equipped with kitchen and meal prep items, extra towels, cleaning supplies, kayaks&pfds, outdoor grill, and indoor games. If you want the best lake views and paddling access, this is the spot.

Perfect Get Away

Our son’s family has a cottage nearby. We had great fun on the water with the grandkids. We went into Hamilton to Flour and Salt and walk around the public market. Each morning I watched the sun rise over the lake with my daughter. Great time!

This cottage is bright and has all modern finishes. The large windows and doors allow for a tremendous view of the lake. The host was very responsive and helpful. It is convenient to Colgate.
