Important Notes

Security Cameras
Two exterior cameras are installed at the front and back doors. They are motion-activated and may take periodic still photos during the day. House rule violations observed may result in fines or removal from the property.

Home Condition
This is a well-loved and frequently enjoyed lake home. It is professionally cleaned, and appliances are maintained. The downstairs carpeting shows wear in high-traffic areas, and not all spaces have been recently remodeled.

Neighbors
We have wonderful neighbors who value peace and privacy. Guests may not enter neighboring lawns or boat decks. Violations may result in immediate removal without refund.

Nature
Being lakefront, you may encounter bugs or spiders outdoors. We schedule regular treatments, but nature is part of the experience.

Fireplace
The fireplace is not operational and is not available for guest use.

Grill
The grill is removed during fall and winter months.

We look forward to hosting you for a relaxing, memory-making stay by the water.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie A Ball

Host profile image
We are a Christian family blessed with nine children and a deep love for serving others. My husband is a pastor, I own a Christian childcare program, and we have been foster parents for 15 years — ministry and caring for families are truly at the heart of our lives.

We treasure time together, especially when we’re able to step away and vacation as a family. We understand how meaningful and restorative that time can be, and how important it is for it to feel peaceful, comfortable, and stress-free.

Opening our home to others is an extension of our faith and our passion for hospitality. It is a blessing to create a space where families can rest, reconnect, laugh, and make lasting memories, and we are honored to be part of your time away.

Why they chose this property

Located in the Town of Greece, just 10 minutes from downtown Rochester, this home offers the perfect balance of quiet waterfront living and convenient access to the area’s top attractions. Families visiting from out of town should plan time to explore the award-winning The Strong National Museum of Play, see the animals at Seneca Park Zoo, enjoy thrills at Seabreeze Amusement Park, or catch a baseball game at Frontier Field.

A short drive east brings you to the Port of Rochester and beautiful Charlotte Beach, where you’ll find waterfront dining and a sweet treat at Abbott's Frozen Custard. Head west to enjoy the sandy shores, playgrounds, and scenic walking paths at Hamlin Beach State Park.

Whether you’re here to relax by the water or explore all that the Rochester area has to offer, this lakeside retreat is the perfect home base.

What makes this property unique

This getaway truly offers the best of both worlds. Relax on the deck overlooking the water and soak in the peaceful, tranquil setting. Our property is unique in that you can walk right into the lake for a swim, and a small public sandy beach is just a short walk away. It’s private and quiet, yet incredibly convenient.

Inside, you’ll find all the comforts of home with a well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful touches throughout to make your stay easy and stress-free. When you're ready to explore, you’re just 10 minutes from the mall, even closer to a variety of delicious local restaurants, and less than 20 minutes from the airport — making both relaxation and adventure effortlessly accessible.
