Wonderful! Pictures don't do the lake views justice. Very peaceful sitting by the lake watching the sun set and the stars come out. The state boat ramp is across the street for almost instant access to the lake. Would definitely go again.

This property was absolutely wonderful. I was most impressed by the view and the immediate relaxation I felt once I walked through the door. I will admit that no AC was a slight issue, as the lake did not provide the cool summer breeze we were expecting (no fault of the property). Fans provided some relief, and we made the most of it.

What a wonderful place!
We can't say enough about how awesome our stay was at the cottage. It was 6 men in their 50's who wanted a place to stay while for our fishing trip on Lake Ontario. Unfortunately, our fishing trip was cancelled because of high winds and lightning. That meant we had to spend more time at the cottage than we though. We had a blast sitting out back and just bein' boys. Being lake front was the best thing we could have done! We hope to come back next year!
