About this property

Vintage Lake Ontario cottage built in 1902.

This cottage sits right on the south shore of Lake Ontario. Built in 1902 as a get away from the heat and bustle of the city this cottage was featured in Home and Garden magazine in the 1950's. We have completely remodeled and modernized with a functional quaint kitchen and modern bathrooms yet retaining its charm. It's easy walking distance from resturants and some of the best trout and salmon fishing in the world. The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular! Niagara Falls is just an hour’s drive away as is famous Letchworth State Park known as “The Grand Canyon of the East”. Watch the ocean and lake freighters pass by on the horizon as well as the ducks, geese, swans and seagulls and the occasional sea hawk and bald eagle!

The cottage was so charming and the views spectacular! Everything we needed was readily available. Very accomodating. We have 2 small fur babies and were able to walk them around the property as well as along the neighborhood. Neighbors were friendly and welcoming. It was quiet and peaceful and a woderful place to unwind. Good food within walking distance. Close to wonderful sites to see. The local produce was impressive and reasonable..highly recommend!!

House Boat on Lake Ontario!

Great spot so close to the water you feel like youre on a boat! Listening to the waves and water all night long is a treat! A few watering holes along with farm/fruit stands nearby are a plus. Highly recommend!

Peaceful Lakeside Perfection

This property and Dan, the owner, are charming and accomodating in equal measure. Dan's cottage is thoughtfully stocked with anything you might need or want during your stay - the Burling family's little touches really make the place feel like home. I stayed the last week of May and experienced four seasons' worth of weather in five days. Anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable pet-friendly stay in this region will be very happy here.

A beautiful getaway!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We most enjoyed the location right on the lake and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It was June, but we had a warm day and could swim and kayak in the lake. We also enjoyed a nice BBQ on the deck. The house was extremely well cleaned and communication with the property owner was smooth. We would definitely like to stay here again if the opportunity comes up. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great fishing vacation

Great host, great property, and great location. Can’t find anything to complain about as this cottage was perfect for my fishing vacation with my two sons. On the water with a comfortable deck. Unfortunately for me that I like to visit the Oak during gnat season and can’t enjoy the deck on warm nights. When the cool water and breeze kept them away, it was enjoyable. Dan communicated and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Hope to be back next year!
