This is far and away the best vacation rental we’ve ever had. Every detail was seen to and plenty that I never would have expected. The mattresses and linens are all high quality. The host could not have been more thoughtful. The place is stunning and is so comfortable.
Wonderful Property! Couldn’t ask for a better stay! Clean, beautiful great communication! Stayed for a girls shopping trip! Will book next year. There was even a Christmas tree and fresh flowers! 10 stars this is an amazing well stocked home, clean in great location.
The house is amazing, the view spectacular, and the host was beyond outstanding. If you are in Rochester, you need to book here. The wife and I will be back, thanks Laura for being such an awesome host!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was immaculate, lots to do on-site, and great nearby attractions. We loved being right on the water. Would definitely recommend to others!
The west coast family came and stayed at this house to meet up with the east coast relatives!! What a great size house to get us all together in one place!
We really enjoyed our stay! The house is well stocked, especially the kitchen. It feels more like a home than a rental. Our kids loved getting to expierence the snow but I would like to visit in the summer to be able to enjoy the lake and beautiful patio area. Highly recommend this rental for families!
What a fantastic home to spend time with family and make wonderful memories!!! The views the room for everyone to spread out is just amazing!!! Definitely recommend!!!

Amazing property
Beautiful, spacious, and well appointed. Responsive owners. Have stayed more than once and love staying here.
This was a great place for family to stay for our son's wedding! We really enjoyed the terrace and the large kitchen/family room area. Highly recommend
We enjoyed our stay very much! Can't wait to come back and enjoy the house and outdoor areas when it's a little warmer! Our teenage daughters loved the house as well! Thank you!
Our stay in Rochester was wonderful. Laura was organized and helpful. We could sit and look at the view from the house forever and never get tired of it.
Laura, your VRBO was exemplary - anything we could need was there and available. We really appreciate the efforts you made to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you!
I would give this property 100 stars if they let me. Home is beautiful, lake view is breathtaking, location is fantastic. Property manager was very accommodating and helpful. This trip could not have been better.
This property was exactly like it was described and more! Our family of 8 rented this for our son's RIT graduation and we were there for 8 wonderful nights. The sound of the lake each morning outside our window was heavenly and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful during that time. We used the grill and pizza oven with Wegman's ready made pizza dough and it was some of the best pizza dough we've ever had. Loved the ice machine in the bar area and being able to stream our shows/sports while visiting was a nice extra. It was the most well-equipped VRBO we've ever stayed in and the owners were generous with the household supplies they left for us. If we ever need to go to ROC again we will definitely rent this home!
Laura is an outstanding host, and the home is both beautiful and very welcoming. It is always clean upon arrival and lovely flowers greet you as you enter. The home is breathtakingly beautiful with a daily view of the lake that is almost too good to believe. The outdoor patio that winds down to the water, allows for great coffee sipping moments, prayer and reflection and the opportunity to gather as a family for meals overlooking the water. I would recommend this home to any family that simply loves being together. We hope to return to this beautiful lake front property as often as we can.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Masterson
Some of my earliest memories are of Lake Ontario—the feel of warm sand between my toes, the thrill of spotting a bald eagle, and evenings spent around beach fires watching the Big Dipper emerge overhead. Growing up in Rochester, the lake wasn't just a backdrop; it was where life happened.
Years later, after managing properties in both Rochester and the mountains of Asheville, NC, I had the opportunity to transform this special lakefront home into True North. Every renovation decision was made with one question in mind: "What would make this the perfect lake escape?" The result is a completely updated sanctuary that honors the natural beauty of Lake Ontario while providing every modern comfort.
I pour the same care into hosting that I do into the property itself. Your perfect vacation matters to me—not just as a host, but as someone who knows firsthand how precious these lakeside moments are. Let me help you create your own Lake Ontario memories!
Why they chose this property
Guests have remarked that the sunrises are worth getting up to see, having a coffee on the deck or patio and enjoy the peace. With views from almost every room, you really feel like you are away from it all. The outdoor grill and pizza oven have been popular for dinner year round. The fire pit is also a great way to end the evening summer or winter.
What makes this property unique
Unparalleled Wildlife & Natural Beauty
You may see bald eagles year-round, swans overhead and gliding gracefully in the water, our charming mink family scampering on the rocks and patios, Canada Geese, and Purple Martins fly overhead from May until October. The Big Dipper sits directly above the patio for spectacular stargazing, and shooting stars are a regular evening companion.
Six Distinct Outdoor Living Zones
Unlike typical lake rentals, True North offers four-tiered stone patios plus two private lakeside decks—each providing a different perspective and experience of the water. Whether you're seeking sunrise solitude or sunset celebrations, there's a perfect spot waiting.
Culinary Adventure Awaits
Master the art of wood-fired pizza in our authentic outdoor pizza oven (kindling provided), or fire up the 40" gas grill. The fully equipped chef's kitchen with granite counters flows seamlessly to outdoor dining spaces—entertaining has never been easier or more memorable.
The Entertainer's Dream
Our signature lower-level bar features a wine refrigerator, separate 50lb ice maker for your coolers, and expansive granite counter space. Gather around the 65-inch Smart TV by the cozy gas fireplace or explore our curated library of games and books for all ages.
Wellness Meets Waterfront
The third-floor Master Suite features a CLIMBR vertical climber positioned perfectly for sunrise workouts over the lake—a truly unique way to start your day with high-intensity, low-impact exercise and breathtaking views.
Two Private Lakeside Master Suites
Both master bedrooms feature their own private decks for morning coffee with the swans—a rare luxury that sets this property apart from standard lake rentals.
Adventure at Your Doorstep
With 75 feet of private shoreline, you can fish from the lawn, explore by canoe (available upon request with life vests), or stroll just 0.1 mile to the private community beach with its sandy shores and shallow, safe waters.
