Delightful Property

This was our second year staying at Uncle John's cabin on Blind Sodus Bay. Mary, the hostess, is so helpful and just an all around great person. If we needed anything she was right on it. The property is lovely, it has a killer view, the cabin is tastefully decorated, comfortable, and there is everything you need, including a well stocked kitchen and beautiful grill. We have booked again for '27.

What a beautiful cottage/home with equally beautiful scenery and filled with peaceful nature and amazing lake views. Host was so kind, welcoming and generous. She had excellent communication and gave us the warmest welcome. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy it all because of a busy schedule for the wedding we traveled to attend. The bay, the hummingbirds, the deck, the serenity...it was all second to none. I especially loved when our host shared the incredible history of the cottage. We absolutely adored this cottage and will be sure to return with no intentions but to just relax, and enjoy all it has to offer. A truly special experience. - The Hogan Family

Thank you for such a heartfelt review! We're so glad the cottage's peaceful setting, lake views, and hummingbirds made an impression, and that you enjoyed hearing about its history. It sounds like a truly special stay despite the busy schedule, and we're delighted it left such a warm impression. I love sharing out special place. I hope to see you again when you can just relax and enjoy the bay.

Perfect waterfront rental

Great hostess and waterfront bay location for paddleboarding or kayaking . The cottage is decorated SO welcoming.With great views and decks, and a new gas fired stove to keep chilly nights warm. . Acces to laundry if needed is a huge bonus. A well stocked kitchen , a dishwasher ,and a nice gass grill mean meals are a breeze. Nature enthusiasts will love this area.

It's our third year in a row for staying at Bayfront Red Creek cottage. We absolutely love it! It's cozy, clean, well-stocked, peaceful and quiet. Anything you might think of is supplied! Amazing hosts, friendly, thoughtful, make you feel like family! We enjoyed kayaking, playing various outdoor games, hiking. We would rate it 10 stars if we could. Highly recommend!

Best paddleboard destination, nature ,great accommodations

This is a very special place ❤️. The hosts have thought of everything you may need and more.We had a great stay and will be back. We got to see Bald Eagles , hummingbirds , beavers , deer, and turtles. The cottage is beautiful and right on the water .We always use the grill and eat outside.Nearby Fairhaven shops are fun and close to museums and restaurants. No lack of things to do near here, or just soak up the sound of birds and the water.Nice furnishings and TV for night time relaxing, great views from inside too.

This cottage is a hidden gem, so well cared for, the decor touches are charming, the view is beautiful, and the neighborhood is quiet. Our host, Mary, was so welcoming and helpful and made us feel right at home. The kitchen had everything we needed, and a grill was right outside. The two decks have lots of nice seating. We especially enjoyed the sunporch for viewing the swans that live in the bay. The location was great, close to Fair Haven, and all that the south shore of Lake Ontario has to offer. If you are hesitating on this, don't, we guarantee you'll be happy there. It is small but super comfortable and we had a wonderful week, we are planning on going back next summer!

A slice of heaven

Uncle Johns on Blind Sodus Bay is the perfect getaway! The cottage itself, is located right on the edge of the bay, so all you will hear are the relaxing sounds of waves and bird song. The cottage has full amenities! Plenty of room to sit and enjoy, inside and out! A full kitchen, from glassware, pots and pans, to frosted glasses in the freezer. All you’ll need to do is plan your own menu. If you prefer, there’s even a grill outside! The entire cottage is decorated by Mary (the hostess), who has the perfect eye! All bedrooms have their own theme, and she even decorates for certain times of the year. There’s a fireplace in the living room for those nights where you’d just like to be cozy and watch a movie. Outside, there’s plenty to do! If you just want to read a book in the sun, there’s a beautiful deck with the best chairs. If you’re more of a night owl, there’s a fire pit, and when the season allows, there’s even a personal pier! The area itself, is quiet, quaint and full of different sites to see! From the little restaurants in town, to the adorable shops! Also, I would like to say that Chuck and Mary are the best hosts that anyone could ever ask for and they were more than happy to help us with any questions that we had!I highly recommend this cottage to anyone who’s interested in a getaway to the most perfect place on Earth!

Cottage by the water

Cute cottage with plenty of room for us (a couple). Loved the cozy fireplace (gas, so easy on and off). Bathroom was clean and well-stocked with towels. Note: If you have trouble going up and down stairs, you might not love it here. Steep stairs (with plenty of handholds, but still...) to go down and up to the kitchen. Nice deck outside to watch the water and the swans.

A little slice of heaven

Having been a cottage owner for 35 years on BSB, and 15 years ago, building our permanent home there on the end of the peninsula, we had the opportunity to stay at Uncle John’s cottage twice during 2022. It was such an honor to stay at one of the original cottage built in 1951 by the Wiltse family. One of the founding members of the bay association and stewards of the bay and surrounding properties, Chuck Wiltse and Mary Connery have kept the Wiltse traditions strong through the years. Mary has done a wonderful job of capturing the history of this 71 year old camp through her tasteful decoration and appointments throughout the cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and free of any spiders, etc. Every corner of this cottage was sealed and meticulously cared for regarding safety and comfort. We stayed during the hottest week of the season in July and the coldest week in the last week of October and the A/C and gas fireplace and heaters kept us cozy and comfortable. It was such a pleasure to be the guests of this kind and knowledgeable couple and to share their family history with us.

Great place, beautiful setting. Amazing Hosts!

Everything was excellent. Mary and Chuck went above and beyond to accommodate myself and 2 friends. We had an excellent time. They were so thoughtful and gracious, making sure had more than enough of what we needed for a little getaway. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to visit the area, do some fishing, or just hang by the lake!
