About this property

Serene Canal Retreat

This adorable one bathroom space in an 1800’s home is located on a scenic windy road trailing along the Erie Canal. A quiet canal side retreat that is picturesque, against the backdrop of the countryside.

-4 min from the Village of Spencerport
-16 min to SUNY Brockport
-16 min to Downtown

A great place to tuck away and relax, work remotely, or to rest your head after a day of enjoying the area. Bring your kayak! Dedicated NYS Kayak launch just across the street.
As part of the country living experience, our home is serviced by well water. We use a standard water filter and a Nelson ATO System to treat iron and sulfur. However, you may notice that the water can look, taste, or smell different from what you're used to.

For your convenience, we provide a Brita pitcher for drinking water and making tea or coffee. Also, being in a rural setting near the canal, you might encounter more insects than in urban areas.

*Note: Identity verification is required along with a valid photo ID and a prior positive host review. Failure to meet these requirements will prevent booking this listing.
As far as physical interactions, we like to provide privacy. On the off chance that something needs to be fixed or replaced during your stay we may swing by ourselves or send one of our maintenance personal to remediate the issue.

Our team is available by phone, text or booking platform. Our preferred mode of communication is via the booking platform you have selected. Several of us help to manage the communication so to ensure our most prompt response time, platform messaging is the way to go.
Just 4 minutes outside the Village of Spencerport, you’ll find this quiet street which trails along the Erie Canal. As you travel down our road, you’ll see fishermen lining the unique lagoon along this part of the canal area known by locals as Wide Water. Nearby you’ll also find a kayak launch with free parking.

Nearby Attractions Include:
-Robb Farms
-Homesteads for Hope Community Farm
-Buttonwood Golf Course
-Arrowhead Golf Course and Marina
-Spencerport Village Restaurants and Bars
-Spencerport Canal Museum
You will have access to a private apartment, offering you complete privacy and comfort during your stay.

Please note that there is only one designated parking spot available for your car, ensuring a secure place to park throughout your visit.

A small, cozy, and serene one bedroom unit in a 3 unit 1800’s home. Features:

-1 Bedroom w/ Queen Bed
-TV in w/ Ability for Netflix & App Sign-In
-Shampoo/Conditioner Provided
-Kitchen Stocked with Cooking Essentials
-Beautiful Porch overlooking Serene Yard
-Dedicated Desk for Remote Work
-Keurig Coffee Maker (we provide a day's worth of k-cups- bring more if you'd like!)

You will share your entrance with our friendly neighbor, who lives in the unit beside yours. So please be mindful that you will share some walls and will also hear some movement from time to time. There are two residents in total who live on site and will share the premises and driveway with you.
When you arrive at your place, you’ll have parking for one vehicle. Please park in the first spot near the apron of the driveway on the far right side at a 45 degree angle. This ensures all other vehicles can enter and exit without having to rearrange.

We are located just minutes from route 531; taken east you’ll get to downtown Rochester in just 16 minutes, or taken west, you’ll get to Brockport in 16 minutes.

Great place!
This place was absolutely perfect for a quick weekend home to visit my parents. I grew up in this area, and my parents are about to move away, so this cute cottage was the perfect place to go for one last run on the Erie Canal.

Just what I was looking for
I wanted a quiet, rural escape not too far from home and this was perfect. I was able to get a lot of work done.

Spencerport stay
The quiet canal retreat was indeed quiet. The property was exceptionally clean and well maintained. I did not recall the listing stating that the bathroom and bedroom were on separate floors. That might present a problem for some considering a stay. Taylor and Rachel were always available to answer any questions we had. We had a very enjoyable stay on our "reunion" trip to Brockport and discovering the lovely village of Spencerport. Thanks again Taylor and Rachel. Chris
