Cozy Summerville Cottage, Sleeps 6, Pet Friendly, Fully Fenced Back Yard
This historic beach cottage was once one of the white canvas tent homes that made up "White City" a Summerville resort community that used to line the shores of lake Ontario in the early 1900s.
This is a historic Summerville beach cottage with lots of original character, including uneven floors, unique rooflines, and cozy cottage style spaces. It’s part of what makes the home special, but guests should expect charm over new construction.
The cottage is located near the water, so weather, lake conditions, and seasonal beach access may vary. Please be respectful of the neighbors, the private beach area, and the peaceful residential setting.
History After the great depression, homes were built right over the canvas tents, turning these summer cottages into permanent residences. The historic character is still evident in these homes with uneven floors and rooflines.
The Space This surprisingly spacious two bedroom cottage has a wide open floor plan.
At night take in the stars and enjoy a campfire on the private beach.
Morning Wake up and enjoy the sunrise over the still glasslike water. Follow that up with a relaxing and picturesque hike through one of the many trails in Durand Eastman Park.
Activities Golf at one of the country’s oldest public golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones and Donald Ross or one of the many golf courses in and around Rochester.
Amusement Park Enjoy the day at Seabreeze, one of the oldest amusement parks in the country and home to the Jack Rabbit, the 3rd oldest wooden roller coaster in the US.
Miniature Golf- oldest in the country! Play a round of miniature golf at Parkside Whispering Pines, the oldest miniature golf course in America and second oldest in the world, and then grab a classic ground round burger, fries, gravy and shake at either Bill Gray’s or Don’s Original, both home to the best classic burgers in Rochester.
What ever you decide to do with your day, Summerville has something amazing waiting for you and is no more than 15 minutes away from everything.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area.
