About this property

Tranquil Retreat on the shores of Lake Ontario

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful lakeside haven less than 20 minutes from the airport. This home sits between Lake Ontario to the north & Cranberry Pond to the south. Beautiful open layout with a gas fireplace. Wake up in the master bedroom with stunning views of the lake. Enjoy cooking in the open kitchen with amazing views of the pond and the lake. The break wall on the lakeside allows you to walk right down into the lake to enjoy the beauty and refreshing cool of the water.

Entering the home, you will have space to leave coats and shoes in the foyer. Directly up the stairs, you will enter the open layout living, dining and kitchen area. The lakeside of the home is a wall of windows that allows breathtaking views of the lake. In addition to the many windows, two sky lights also allow a vast amount of natural light into the space.

The living area is complete with 2 queen size sleeper sofas as well as 1 full-size sleeper sofa. There is plenty of room to relax along with the additional space for more guests to sleep. Going back down the stairs, you will find a half bathroom, a full-bathroom and two bedrooms.

The smaller bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds and is a great room for children. The larger master bedroom has a beautiful view of the lake and space for a king-size bed as well as a full-size sleeper sofa. Guests can also be provided with a pack-n-play if traveling with an infant or toddler.

The driveway is large enough to accommodate 3 vehicles. Parking is not available on the street, so only 3 cars be kept onsite overnight. Guests also should not use the garage and will not be provided with an overhead door opener.

Our home is lived in - and used frequently by many people. Despite professional and regular cleaning, the downstairs carpeting has signs of wear in all high traffic areas.

Guests should understand while the home as beautiful views and great amenities, not all areas of the home have been remodeled recently. However we keep everything in good working order with regular maintenance.

We have wonderful neighbors - but they do NOT expect to be bothered. They enjoy the tranquility of the lake so we expect that all guests are respectful of their privacy and their property. Guests should at NO time be in the neighbors lawn or near their boat deck. We are in contact with our neighbors, and if that occurs, you may be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund given.

Living on the lake - guests need to also understand there are many bugs and spiders that will also be joining them outside while on vacation. Although we do have a professional company to spray regularly, we can't stop nature.

Relaxing vacation home
We had a great few days relaxing in this home right on the lake. Communication with the owner was impeccable and all of the extra amenities (snacks, toiletries, etc) were a very nice touch. Everything we could have needed was already there and we felt right at home.

Amazing Lakeside view
Tranquil retreat was very relaxing & peaceful, just as it is named. The house was clean, everything worked, gorgeous views on the main level, deck, & from the master bedroom. The owners left a very nice welcome basket of treats, with an instruction book for the house, with suggestions for eating, & things to do in the area. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, dish soap, dishwasher pods, dishtowels, Keurig with multiple flavors of coffee, & several different teas. the bathroom was well stocked with towels, toilet paper, soaps, body wash, shampoos, extra toothbrushes & toothpaste. Home owner was easily reached through texting & any questions answered promptly. Would rent again, or recommend to family/friends. Thank you for a relaxing & beautiful place to stay!

Host profile image
We are a Christian family with 9 children. Our passion is ministry as my husband is a pastor, I own a Christian childcare and we have been foster parents for 15 years. We love vacationing and spending time together and know how important it is to make that time away special and stress-free. Bringing love and joy to others is a blessing and we hope to continue to do that in all opportunities!

Why they chose this property

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful lakeside haven. Wake up in the master bedroom with stunning views of the lake. Enjoy cooking in the open kitchen with amazing views of the pond and the lake.

This lakeside community is in the Town of Greece about 10 minutes from Downtown Rochester. While lake side you can enjoy the peace of the water but still be only minutes from all major Rochester area attractions. Families coming from out of town should plan time to visit the Strong National Museum of Play, Seneca Park Zoo, Seabreeze Amusement Park or catch a baseball game at Frontier Field.

You can also enjoy a quick drive east to the Port of Rochester and beautiful Charlotte Beach with its many dining opportunities and dessert at Abbott's Frozen Custard. To the west, enjoy Hamlin Beach New York State Park with its many beaches, playgrounds and walking paths.

What makes this property unique

This getaway offers the perfect location. Sit on the deck overlooking the water and soak in the tranquil solitude. Head out the front door and be to the mall in 10 minutes, to many tasty restaurants even sooner. Less than 20 minutes from the airport!
