About this property

Fair Haven Family Cottage

Our cottage is a quaint 3 bedroom home on a private extension of Ingersoll Dr. with private access and a little beach in Blind Sodus Bay.

This has been our family cottage for over 15 years and we are excited to share it with you! There is a window AC unit in the main living area, but no Central Air. Every room has ceiling fans and additional fans in them. If you keep the windows and doors closed the house does stay relatively cool.

Kitchen includes coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, stove, air fryer and kitchen utensils (pot and pans, etc).

A beautiful backyard overlooking the water with plenty of room for yard games and a huge fire pit for evening s’mores! (Wood is not provided).

There is a propane grill on the porch for use.

We recommend bringing a pop up tent for some shade in the back yard as there is not much coverage from the sun.

In the shed we have a Paddle Boat you're welcome to use.
There is an air compressor to blow up rafts as well so you can float around in the water!

Cell phone service is spotty right at the house, if you walk up the road just a little you have service and text messages seem to work fine.

High Speed Internet is available at the house, as well as a Roku to login to your personal streaming programs.

There are two outdoor security camera's on the property, one in the front of the house and one in the back.

Awesome lakefront property!
We visit the area once a twice a year to enjoy the amazing fishing that Lake Ontario offers. This is our first time staying at your property. We had a great time! The lakefront back yard was perfect for us to fish between the rain showers and the outdoor firepit was amazing....allowing us to relax and enjoy a couple of beers. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay
Loved the setup of the place the most. Right on the water with a big fire pit! Well stocked kitchen and bathroom, comfy beds, and close to many things! Bring your water shoes but the little beach was a nice bonus! Will be returning for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Cathlin Partyka

Host profile image
This has been our family lake house for over 15 years - the home has been in our family for well over 30 years! We love spending summer weekends here enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the private road, the amazing views and sunsets from the backyard and all the fun things Fair Haven and the surrounding towns offer.

Why they chose this property

Our location is perfect with direct water access. The road is very quiet and peaceful so it's a perfect spot to get away and relax. The house is a great size and has pretty much anything you'd need during your stay, a full kitchen, games, etc.

We are located about a mile from Colloca Winery and Turtle Cove - both are super fun places to visit with live music and fun events every weekend!

The town is a short drive away and has a few restaurants, an ice cream shop, a convivence store, gift shop and more!
