NEARBY ACTIVITIES:
The cottage is located in a rural area, waterfront on a channel into Port Bay, which then offers access to Lake Ontario. Fishing, kayaking, boating, hiking, bird watching, nearby beaches, wineries, farms, and quaint towns & shopping/diners make this an enjoyable rural destination. Or just put your feet up, take in your beautiful surroundings, roast marshmallows around the fire pit, let the kids fish and catch critters while you read a book, watch a movie, and relax away from it all. Enjoy the serenity of kayaking/boating around the beautiful area to view the abundance of wildlife. Bring your poles and fish right off the dock or take out the kayaks/boat to try your luck fishing out in the bay. Fishermen will find a variety of fish including whitefish, lake trout, perch, brook trout, northern pike, smallmouth bass, chinook salmon and walleye in Port Bay and Lake Ontario. You may see a variety of wildlife right from the property including beaver, cranes, swans, geese, turtles, frogs and other creatures.

A rocky beach with swimming in Lake Ontario is a quick 5 minute drive up the road. Fair Haven Beach is 8 miles from the cottage and offers a spectacular sandy beach, playground, hiking, and be sure to include a stop at Colloca Winery! Visit Wolcott or Fair Haven for an ice cream, stop at a diner, visit local wineries/breweries or browse stores for some local treasures. A 25 minute drive takes you to Sodus Beach and Lighthouse. Also heading West is the infamous Chimney Bluffs, spectacular views, hiking, and a small beach area. Should you have a boat, there are two free boat launches on Port Bay, or find a fishing charter, or rent a pontoon!

Salmon fishing in Oswego River (30 minute drive) or up in Black River (90 minute drive). The Finger Lakes are less than an hour away if looking for a full day wine tour along Cayuga Lake, a visit to Belhurst Castle along Seneca Lake, shopping at the Waterloo Outlets, or finding other hiking trails. Niagara Falls, the 1,000 Islands, and a visit to the Adirondack Mountains also make great day trips within a 2-3 hours drive. Port Bay in Wolcott, NY is a hidden gem as it is an ideal location for many different adventures. Experience as much or as little as you want while on vacation!

**Please note: You should be physically able to walk up and down a hill, as you will need to do this to walk from the parking area, house, fire pit, and dock. Some hill areas are steep.**

About the host

Hosted by Christie Baglio

Host profile image
Christie & Nick found this cottage to have adventures with their family and allow other families to enjoy this gem. Our family is from nearby Rochester, NY. We have three boys that keep us busy between school activities and sports. Our family enjoys getting outdoors- hiking, swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing, etc. We also enjoy traveling, movies, and art.

Why they chose this property

Our family purchased this property in June 2018. We fell in love with the location on the water along with the privacy this property offers, including that feeling of serenity our cozy cottage brings to us. Our boys have fun playing in the spacious yard and marsh area, going out on the boat to explore the shores of Lake Ontario and finding new swimming spots and beaches in the area. We enjoy fishing from the dock and in the bay, roasting marshmallows around the fire, and viewing the many birds (cranes, swans, geese), frogs, beaver, and other creatures that wander by. We know our family (and yours!) will make plenty of memories here.

What makes this property unique

We are happy to be on a quiet outlet of Port Bay, so we can boat, kayak, fish, enjoy s’mores by the fire, sip coffee on the deck, catch lightening bugs, and still have a quiet, private experience. The cottage is an hour away from where we live, so it is an ideal location to feel away from it all but also not too far, either!
