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!

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!

Perfect Getaway

We are so grateful for the peace that this home gave us during such an unprecedented time. The home was cozy and clean, and the view from the back deck was breathtaking. The location was an hour’s drive from Letchworth State Park, Niagara Falls State Park, and Lake Erie. We greatly enjoyed our stay and are hoping to come back!

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.

Thanks so much for your nice review of your stay. So funny the 4 seasons you experienced! Weather on the Great Lakes is wonderful but very unpredictable.
