Sodus Point Vacation

Amanda and Brian are outstanding hosts. The home was clean and well prepared and their communication was excellent. Swimming in Lake Ontario was great and having the boat to travel throughout the bay was fun. We went to Captain Jack's and were able to bring our dog to Pier 53 for off island meals and activity. Anchored at the sand bar multiple times to swim. Great vacation!

Lure Cottage was a perfect get away!

Lure Cottage was a perfect get away..We loved being surrounded by water the calmness of the bay on one side and lake on the other side. The cottage was perfect for our group..clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the kayaks and boat that was included in the rental.It was a very relaxing and fun get away..even our 2 dogs loved it..The sound of the waves at night and the spectacular sunsets made this a great vacation spot.Scott was very friendly and accommodating. It was very apparent that he loves his little piece of paradise and wanted us to enjoy it too..Thank you for sharing your cottage with us and for the wine cheese and crackers :) We will definitely be back!

Martha and I are delighted that you got to enjoy our little piece of paradise. It’s so relaxing to just paddle along in the kayak or canoe. It really clears your mind and calms your spirit. Please remember to book your stay soon for next years vacation. We have been 100% occupied the past few years and we fill up very early in the season. Best Always Scott and Martha

We had an amazing time at this vacation rental !!I would only recommend that if you cook with a lot of spices to bring your own. The spice cupboard is very outdated / expired items. One other item was upsetting but not at all the owners fault. On the ontario beach side of the cottage they have some unfriendly neighbors. I would recomend buying fire wood prior to coming to the rental. We were told we could gather beach wood all along the beach and one of the neighbors yelled at my daughter for doing so. My daughter got scared and was crying. I again want to state that this is not the renters of this properties problem how others act, but for a rental property I would think the neighbors would be kinder. It was washed up wood from the lake not anything else. This same neighbor then let there dog come up to our dog unleashed and we did not appreciate that as she yelled at us the day prior for what she was then doing at our rental. Overall we loved this vacation home. Just use caution when walking the shoreline for drift wood / firewood and bring your own spices if you enjoy cooking with them.We will definetly hopefully be back!

Thank you for the note Kristen. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and will be sure to list several local places to purchase firewood on the way in to avoid any future issues. In regards to the spices, I did put a few essential spices there but will be sure to check the expiration dates more often. They will all be fresh at the start of next season!

Best Girls trip weekend!!

We stayed the weekend at the Lure...unfortunately this will be our first and last stay as the owners have sold the property. The weekend was AMAZING and if we could we would book this every summer. They were above and beyond with responding, accommodating, helping, etc. The property was so gorgeous...Sodus Bay in the back, the lake in the front. The sunsets were gorgeous!! The area is quiet, relaxing and beautiful. We are sad this was a one and done, but so grateful to have had the time there ;) 10 out of 10 for this getaway!!!

Paradise

The cottage was just what our family needed to get away to a little piece of paradise. My husband, myself 2 teenagers and our 10 mo dog loved the water, sand and boat. Such freedoms surrounded by God’s creation!!! The hostess with the most Martha was the best bonus to our vacation at The Lure! She made sure everything was on point and did it all so graciously. And the kids loved her scavenger hunt. We were able to meet Scott taking us back upon our departure, what a humble busy man! We are grateful for them and their place closing out our summer desires to “be” as a family surrounded by such peace. Would of only added a few extras days…. BUT next time…

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Aug 2023
Watching your kids play and swim in the Lake was a joy to see. They were having so much fun! There’s nothing more heartwarming than children laughing. Using a kayak or canoe for the first time, running the motorboat, or just fishing off the dock can make life lasting memories for any child or adult for that matter. Sitting around the campfire at night is a favorite activity for our Guest. Bringing your dog and letting them run free and swim in the lake is also a highlight for many of our guests. When it’s time for our famous sunset it’s nice to see all of our Guest sitting out on the lake side enjoying a cold refreshment while the sun slithers into the lake. You almost expect to see steam come up as it disappears below the horizon. All in all this is truly is Paradise! Thank you for allowing us to share it with you. Hope to see you next summer. Scott and Martha
