My Lovely wife and I decided to rent a getaway cabin for are honeymoon. Niether of us having done this before we were kind of winging it. We Contacted the owner and everything went smoothly. The pictures in the ad are exactly what you get with all the amenities plus a few extra. The Cottage itself is very nice. Really has a "get away from the city" feel to it. We were there for about a week in very late October. It was awesome. Very quiet, peaceful, beautiful fall colors, crashing waves just footsteps from the backdoor and bedroom window. Some awesome sunsets you can watch from inside the cabin. We would have loved to take advantage of the kayaks but with the water being so cold we decided to hold back. We also noticed that during are stay there was less neighbors around so it was extra quiet. Dave the owner was very helpful. Are first day, the water in the house had a rotten egg smell which we learned is only during the fall/winter season because (from what we understood) the house used water from the bay. We asked if there was a way to get rid of the smell and Dave came by the next morning and did something and i would say about 90% of the smell was gone. ( we were also told and saw the construction equipment that the county is laying down pipes from the county water). Dave also helped us with some nearby activity advice (since we were from southern california). He and his wife spent about 30 minutes on the phone with us letting us know some nice places to check out locally and even 2-3 hours away. Theres also a small town and grocery store less than 10 miles away. Would highly recommend this place espically for the price service, amenities and hospitality by the owners. Strongly recommend for a nice romantic getaway!!! We really want to try and come here for a summer. Thanks Dave.

Staying at this secluded cottage was one of the most refreshing breaks our family has ever had. Having the kayaks and canoes available for our use was a nice bonus, and Chimney Bluffs and Sodus Point were only a paddle away. The water in Lake Ontario is crystal clear, and we'd like to come back during the real swimming season. The cobblestone beach is nice to walk along out to the point, and fun for a campfire. It was great to have all linens provided, and the owner was very helpful.

The photos on this site bring back fond memories of our family respite at Acorn Cottage, a special time we will never forget. Charming, clean, open, marvelous and different views depending on which window you look out, your own little beach on Lake Ontario, the magnificent Chimney Bluffs and yummy restaurants nearby. I wanna go back, I wanna go back!
