About the host

Hosted by Laura Masterson

Host profile image
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.
