Picturesque & Serene on Lake Ontario

Loved this property! Cozy but also roomy & updated kitchen. View of Lake Ontario was breath-taking and back deck/yard was even better than the pictures! Breezes off the lake were wonderful. Enjoyed our time with family and will visit again. Thank you, Brandon, for making the process easy and for letting us enjoy your home!

It's a lovely lakehouse! We (grandma, myself, my sister, her husband, and our two kids, 1 teen, 1 tween) had a great weekend. The view from the back porch is amazing- right on the water and you can see a gorgeous sunset. The swing was Grandma's favorite place. The weather was too windy for us to grill or have a fire, but there is a fire pit and grill that I imagine would be great to use. The house was clean and well equipped for cooking. We went to the state park beach as well as mini golf, ice cream, and go cars right nearby. Brandon was clear and helpful in communications. We would definitely come back.
