About this property

Lovely, Open Cottage on Lake Ontario


Our family cottage is nestled in the woods with 150 feet of waterfront property overlooking beautiful Lake Ontario.

Our property has three levels for you to enjoy your surroundings. The deck attached to the house offers stunning views of the lake and sunset. Grill and dine, read a book, or simply relax while you enjoy the tranquility. A flight of stairs off of the deck leads you to a grassy area where you will find Adirondack chairs around a fire pit. Continue along a walkway and down another flight of stairs and you will arrive at our beach deck on the shore. Go for a refreshing swim or take a kayak excursion. Or simply sit on the deck and enjoy the sparkling water and sea breeze!

Robert G. Wehle State Park is minutes away and offers many amenities, including miles of hiking trails, tennis and pickleball courts and a brand new playground for the kids. Take a picnic lunch and walk along the beautiful cliff trail to the slate shoals where you will find picnic tables and restrooms.

There are sandy beaches a short drive to the north or south. Picnic tables and grills dot the beach at Westcott State Park and Southwick State Park.

Stroll through the picturesque town of Sackets Harbor, visit the charming shops, historic sites and battlefield, and dine at one of the many waterfront restaurants.

Anglers take note! Boating and fishing enthusiasts flock to this area every summer. There are many fishing charters available in Henderson Harbor and boat rentals at our local marinas for a reasonable price. If you own a boat, there is no place to park or turn a boat around on our road, which is a dead end. However, you can park your trailer on our property at the top of the hill or at the local marina.

For the more adventurous, the Black River in Watertown boasts some of the best whitewater rafting in the country.

Explore the area with day trips to the Renaissance Fair, the Thousand Islands with ferry rides to Boldt Castle, and the Enchanted Forest Water Safari in the Adirondacks.

An evening is not complete without a trip to The Trolley for an ice cream cone, an upstate NY summer tradition.

This three bedroom, two bath home sleeps six adults comfortably. All three bedrooms have air conditioning units. There is a washer and dryer available for your use.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Outlaw and Jeanne Robison

Host profile image
We are the daughters of Joan and Bob McMullen from Rochester NY, who fell in love with this area over 40 years ago. They bought this property and we all worked together to build this cottage and make it a very special summer place. Since then, we have both raised our families (six kids total) who delight in the water and their time in the woods! Jeanne now resides in Boston and Janet in Florida...and our time here is limited. So... until we retire and can spend our entire summers here, we want to share our little bit of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property

We only want to persuade those who would enjoy what our home has to offer. Please read our reviews for a good sense of our unique accommodations. Many cottages on the lake are older with small windows and no out-door areas. We have a large deck with double sliding glass doors. You can enjoy the scenery from within or without!!

What makes this property unique

We have several guests that return every summer. They love the wooded setting, the privacy and the tranquility. Our living room is open and spacious, and the view breathtaking. And you can't beat the sunsets! Every evening we wait with anticipation as the sun sinks down over the lake. Each night we witness a brand-new display of light and color, as no two sunsets are exactly alike!
