Wonderful Place
We traveled to Sodus for a getaway and also to visit family in neighboring towns. This place was wonderful and perfect for our family to be together. The weather was different every day on the lake choppy, calm, windy, rainy and sunny. But the views were magnificent and didn't stop us from enjoying the backyard and the sunsets.
The house has everything you need for a week stay. The neighbor was really nice as well. It's a very private area. We saw MANY birds and wildlife. We really enjoyed the peacefulness. We had a fire in the pit every night! We recommend this place to unwind and relax.
There are also things to do around the area. We REALLY enjoyed Burnap's Farm. We picked cherries and their Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie is delicious!! We ventured to Sodus Point and Chimney Bluffs.
There are many things to do in close proximity to the house.
We would definitely stay here again if we came back to the area! Thanks for having us!

Wonderful Fall Stay on Lake Ontario
We had the best time! The house is amazing, and the location is awesome. The host was helpful and responsive, the property was clean and well maintained. So much to do and see. The fall colors were beautiful, the farm markets had lots of things to taste, I highly recommend the caramel apple pie, wonderful apple cider, delicious fry cakes. Lots of hiking and parks to visit. I grew up in the area so I visit yearly, and will most definitely rent this property again.

Those views!
This house was perfect for my family of 5! My kids enjoyed playing whiffle ball in the yard with the lake behind them, and we all enjoyed the games left in the house. The views are STUNNING. The house is equipped with literally everything you can think of: we were surprised to see an array of cooking spices, cooking oil, aluminum foil, condiments, coffee/tea, creamer, sugar and Splenda all provided. Also, there is shampoo/conditioner, body wash, hand soap, make up wipes and q-tips in the bathrooms. This host has thought of everything. The property is so quiet and relaxing. You won’t regret picking this place….it’s stunning, truly! We will be back, for sure!
