About this property

Amazing View On Spacious Lake Home. Open floor plan and deck for perfect parties

The views really are as good as the pictures show when you're enjoying a sunset directly on Lake Ontario. You'll not only vacation in style at The Vista, but you'll find yourself truly relaxing in its beautiful atmosphere. I could literally stare for hours off of the back deck looking out to Toronto. The Jacuzzi hot tub allows you to enjoy the view all year long!

With two official bedrooms and a very open layout, you'll have plenty of space. The open floor plan on the main level is great for entertaining.

Location and layout of the house are awesome! Neglected maintenance of house and landscaping was disappointing. Wilson is a perfect place to stay for fishing and the state park down the road allowed us to dock our boat and keep our trailer at the park for 21/day! Awesome Sunset Bar! Live band! Vern’s restaurant was great too! Definitely will stay in Wilson again for our salmon fishing trips from Ohio.

Beautiful view to Lake Ontario. 1st floor is nice and spacious. Nice upper deck area with ample seating. Kitchen not well stocked, trash and recycling bins were filled to brim, maintenance needed on the stairs leading to fire pit area-which needs decking work as it seems unsafe. This is a higher priced rental along the lake and I’d expect a higher level of accommodation.

Relaxing stay in what felt like home.

We had a very comfortable stay at this lake home. Communication was quick with Sergio through VRBO messaging. We enjoyed relaxing and watching the lake between our activities in the area. I appreciated the provided coffee and other house amenities (throw blankets, shower supplies, etc).

My friends and I booked this house for a girls trip over a long weekend in Mid-May. Overall, we had a great time at this relaxing home and loved the views of the lake, especially the gorgeous sunsets.As others have commented, there are a few considerations for prospective guests and suggestions for the owner/property manager.Considerations:- We unknowingly booked our trip during a gnat/midge swarming period. The bugs didn't bite, but there were millions of them everywhere and it was difficult to enjoy the deck during the day. - The main upstairs bedroom is open to the rest of the house, which was fine for our trip but might not be great if you're expecting privacy or are a light sleeper.Suggestions for the owner/property manager- The hot tub needs maintenance. We were only able to use it one night out of three because it was either not heating or got overheated. One night the temperature got up to 110 degrees, which is extremely dangerous.- The kitchen needs to be restocked with a complete sets of glasses, dishware, and silverware. There were only 2 real glasses and 3 forks, and the kitchen needed a few more essentials. - The dining table is cool, but all the chairs have loose bolts and everything needs to be tightened. - The house needs general maintenance and sprucing up. We would give this house a 7/10. It's a great location and the views are extraordinary, but some general TLC and stocking the kitchen for cooking would make it a stellar experience.

Awesome House

The property was exactly as it was payed out on Vrbo. Was exactly what we wanted. The view off the back deck was amazing. Inside was perfectly set up. Was just what we needed for a long weekend fishing trip and very relaxing. Perfect location as well to everything we like to check out when we come up every year. Would definitely recommend this property.

The home is right on the shore of Lake Ontario! The view is amazing! The back of the house is lined with windows. Gorgeous views! We could see the lights of Toronto! The Village of Wilson and the Wilson Harbor and Boat House are within walking distance. The furnishing are a bit dated.

Beautiful views from a beautiful home. A wintery weekend enjoying views of Lake Ontario while basking in the hot tub. Open concept house and large deck would make for a grand dinner setting on a summer evening. Host was very helpful and informative. 5 stars

Location was great. The view was amazing! Peaceful and quiet. Property is beautiful and we would stay again. Just a few things we want to note. I had to get the door code at 6pm because it was not sent to me prior to 3pm check in. I called the number and a girl answered and said she couldn't help me. There was a hole and uneven deck boards by fire pit and no lighting on stairs or firewood. Info in binder was outdated. Only 2 jets in hot tub worked and no chemicals were found to add to it. We cleaned all the spider webs off everything. The sliding doors on porch were off track. The pans in the cupboard were dirty. It was a great stay I just feel maybe it was not prepared for stay.

Very Disappointed, Feeling Dupped

Positive: Great location! Close to water, fishing, pier, wineries, state parks, shops, lighthouses, etc. Negatives: The house is in desperate need of repair/maintenance. The bathroom had so much mold in it, including on the ceiling. In the shower, the caulk and the decorative crevices in the soap/shampoo holders were filled in with mold. The carpet looked like the original and turned the bottoms of our socks black. It has the most sparsely stocked kitchen we have ever experienced in a VRBO, i.e. no pepper, bakeware, or condiments. Bring your own everything and do NOT count on the "grocery" store in Wilson. Stop in Lockport or Buffalo. Stovetop is disgusting. Only one stainless steel pan was usable, the rest were not, unless you like shards of the material in your food. Garbage disposal clogs routinely. Most of the glassware are coffee mugs. Cable TV subscription does not include any networks nor ESPN (It is football season!). There are 4 thermostats, and it is difficult to tell which one controls what. It would be miserable to stay here in the middle of summer as it was warm enough upstairs in October even with the portable air conditioner on. When it rains and the wind is from the East, expect water beside the kitchen "table" and below the window in the master bedroom loft. Couch/sectional uncomfortably seats only 2 with the added bonus of a soccer ball size stain on the carpet from who knows what. There's a toilet in the kitchen. Try Google-ing "toilet plume."

Had a wonderful time at the Vista. House was very clean and welcoming. The views from the back deck and all of the windows can't be beat. We really enjoyed the hot tub looking over the lake. The location is great. About 35 minutes to the falls. The surrounding town is very nice and has a few good restaurants. Stop at the Dollar General if you need some groceries or anything else. It is quick drive to several wineries and breweries. Would recommend and plan on coming back in the future.

Incredible views but lacking attention to detail

Beautiful view but was disappointed with cleanliness and attention to detail. Windows with view to lake were dirty. Several items needing maintenance at the house. Electrical outlets didn’t work in either bathroom. Smoke alarm was chirping. Front door difficult to close with a loud slam. With some attention to detail this could be an amazing property to stay at. Property owner did not address concerns during or after stay.

Beautiful spot, simply furnished

This house has a lot of positives - great location on the water, stunning sunset views, three levels of outdoor decks with patio furniture, lots of windows / sliding doors providing natural light, spacious interior, and a park across the street. The pictures are mostly a good representation, but there are a few clarifications that might not be obvious from the listing - the master bedroom is an open upstairs loft, there is no seating with the dining room table (only counter seating for four in the kitchen), and the water access requires you to climb over boulders that protect the shoreline. I may be in the minority based on the other reviews, or maybe it was a fluke, but I was disappointed in the overall cleanliness, which seemed haphazard - the carpet wasn't freshly vacuumed, the kitchen appliances weren't thoroughly cleaned, and there was a pile of dirty laundry by the washer. I was also not fully prepared for the abundance of lakeside insects and spiders.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Simpson

Host profile image
The home is actually owned by a very good friend of ours who came to teach at Niagara University as a part of their Doctorate and MBA programs. Unfortunately, another job took him out of state after a couple years, but he had already fallen in love with Wilson and couldn't bear to let go of his dream lake house. He asked us if we would consider running it as a vacation property so that others could enjoy it and so he could keep it for his own vacations as well. We were happy to oblige! On the few days where it isn't booked, you can often find us sitting out on the deck to watch the sunset!

My wife and I have lived in Wilson for most of our 15 years of marriage. She was born in Wilson and always figured she'd move away, but we've found something special in the people and environment that surround us, so we have effectively planted our roots right around the corner from The Vista. Our 3 children love the village experience and can often be seen throughout the summer on bike or lake adventures. We truly feel like there is something special about Wilson, and we love to share that with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Wilson is special by itself, but when you're literally on the shores of Lake Ontario, it's even more apparent that you're in a place that can transform you. We have already heard many stories of how our guests struggle to pull themselves away from the lake, so instead of going out to eat, they get food to bring back to bask in the views a bit longer. The Vista's location is even a bit more special because although generally, lakefront houses are quite close to one another, you only have 1 neighbor, so there is a great deal of privacy.
Come to Wilson to get away for a bit and you'll know what we're talking about. The lake is beautiful all year round and with our brand new Jacuzzi Hot Tub, you can enjoy the views no matter what the weather is like.
