About this property
Charming cottage on Chaumont Bay, pet friendly, kayaks, dock, ICE FISHING
Historic serene year round cottage located on Chaumont Bay just off of Lake Ontario in the beautiful North country! This is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1400 sq. foot cottage that is great any time of the year with spectacular views of the lake. Perfect for a fall weekend getaway, some winter ice fishing, or a relaxing summer escape. Home includes 75 feet of lakefront shoreline with direct lake access. Dock access available in summer months (June-Sept weather permitting). Enjoy getting away from the hustle and bustle of daily life while sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the lake, or enjoy a quiet evening by the fire pit at sunset. Nearby town of Watertown approx. 20 min away, while smaller town of Chaumont only about 5 min from the home for last minute necessities, a convenience store, hardware/bait shop, gift shop, ice cream, and a few local restaurants. Public boat launches nearby in town of Chaumont (5-10 min away) and plenty of room in driveway to bring your boat and/or jetski. Enjoy popular nearby towns such as Sackets Harbor, Clayton, & Alexandria Bay (1000 islands region). Interior of home includes a quaint historic feel, large yard, and plenty of parking. Come enjoy the lake!

*Heat available in colder months, please note cottage does NOT have AC although ceiling fans throughout and in all bedrooms (more often than not you will get a wonderful breeze off the lake)
*Please note this is a rural area and the water in this home is from shore-well with lake water (rural area and city has not put in water yet to this area- but one perk is it keeps the tranquility and with less development/people!). The lake water is good for cooking, bathing, washing dishes, etc.. but I would not recommend drinking the water. *Please bring drinking water and ice with you*
*MAX 6 guests please, including infants and children *Home has direct lake access, shoreline is rocky. Please note children must be supervised at ALL times as there is direct water access
*1 well mannered dog okay with prior owner approval and paid pet fee of $125, 2 well mannered dogs okay with paid pet fee of $175. Must be over 1 year old, must clean up after pet in yard and keep off furniture. Please bring your own towels if dog will be swimming & wet. Please DO NOT use towels in home to dry off dog! Dogs must be fully dry before entering home. Additional cleaning fees will be charged if this not followed. Thank you for your help with this.
**There is 1 exterior camera on the property facing the lake. This is not monitored on a regular basis and solely there for security purposes.
*Minimum age requirement of 28 years old, driver license or photo ID required prior to arrival *NO parties or large events, please (neighbors are close by and we want to be respectful of them).

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous and decorated very tastefully. The backyard was very nice with a fireplace and lawn chairs the view of Cherry Island and Point Salubrious was stunning with the trees changing colors. The view from the downstairs bedroom looking out at the lake was absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend renting this cottage. We had a great time vacationing there.

Thank you for your 5 star review! We agree the views are so beautiful. We hope you can return in the near future, would love to host you again!
Great place! We spent a week here last summer and just finished another week long stay. The cottage is very nice, the neighborhood is quiet, the lake is crystal clear and easy to launch kayaks from the shoreline. We will be back!

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you would come again! The cottage is historic and a true 2 story lake home (as advertised in pics). We are sorry the stairs were difficult for you. We recently added a hand rail, hopefully you found this helpful. Take care!
Beautiful quiet town, beautiful lake, nice place to stay. Only negative is the long drive we had to make from Ga. I wished I had someone to pull my boat so I could have flown haha.

Thank you Michelle! I love the view of the sunrise over the lake in the mornings. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Beautiful location and pretty close to other sites to see.
Be careful to read full description of the property as there is no drinkable water. Neighbors were friendly and the lake was awesome!
This property was absolutely beautiful! Worth the view alone. The house itself was adorable and cozy! We had such a good time sitting by the water. Location was great for traveling to all the local attractions. I would definitely return for another girl‘s trip or a family vacation!

It is a great view, I agree! Thank you, Lisa. Hope you can return.
We just stayed for our 2nd time at the Quaker Cottage and had a great vacation. The cottage is very cozy and clean. My boys loved fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding down the shore. The property is so beautiful and relaxing and the neighbors are so kind.

I was very impressed with the cottage, location and overall experience. I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended. The place was beautiful and well kept. I will come back!
Had a lovely week at Quaker Cottage. House was as described, I knew we had to bring water, but wish I had been aware of the odor of the water. Also a bit of information indicating there was only a charcoal grill would have been appreciated.

Thanks for your feedback Maureen. I wished you had reached out about the water odor you experienced during your stay. We do have a chlorination system and sometimes the filter needs changed especially if the water sits or if the cottage is empty between guests. The charcoal grill is in the listing photos and we do try and make sure it’s well described. I am glad you had a nice stay…thanks and take care!
Home was comfortable for 5 adults. Nicely equipped with everything you need. Neighbors are somewhat close but very friendly and quiet at night. Beautiful yard overlooking the water, beautiful area all around. Thank you Carrie for hosting!
