Salmon River Waterfront Cottage (w / tillgänglig båt slip)

The 'brothers-in-law' (Mike & Abe) welcome you to join us, as our extended family has been enjoying the Salmon River Point since the 1930s, and we now have many family members and close family friends who own summer homes on the Point and further up the river along Pine Grove Road. Having grown up at the lake, enjoying the fishing, water sports, restful days in the sun and sand, marveling at the way the wind, waves and lake storms can entertain you, with rainy days spent working a jigsaw puzzle or reading a novel while enjoying views of the lake being some of our most memorable times. Or getting to stay up late roasting marshmallows over a beach fire, followed the next morning by a pancake breakfast after returning from fishing with our parents. Small mouth bass and yellow perch fishing used to be the focus of our angling efforts, and those catches are arguably still the best tasting. But in the 1970s, the Salmon fishery developed and since then, Brown Trout can be caught in abundance along the lake shore as the water warms in May and June. The fishing charters run all summer long out to the deep waters of the lake, many departing directly from the Salmon River Marina right at the mouth of the river. In the fall, the fishing gets especially active in the river, as the salmon migrate to run upstream. Year after year, our families and friends have enjoyed this special place and all that it has to offer. In 2014 we purchased and restored the circa 1838 Selkirk Lighthouse, a historic treasure that was built nearly 200 years ago. With major renovations of the Lighthouse, the Marina and the 3 cottages completed, we now share this incredible place with others who can appreciate the history and special nature of the Salmon River (Selkirk) Lighthouse & Marina property and what it is to experience staying there. It is our hope that past guests will return with families and friends, time and time again, year after year.

The Lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and it stands as it has for 184 years at the mouth of the Salmon River, shining its light out across the Salmon River and Lake Ontario every night to provide guidance and safe travel to approaching mariners. In the shadows of the Lighthouse are three (3) completely renovated and comfortable single-family cottages, with this "Waterfront Cottage" right on the bank of the River at the north end of the Marina. Directly across the River, accessible by rental kayak or canoe or by POV parking space availability-dependent, is a beautiful NYS Park lakeshore beach, bordered by a rock breakwater protecting the entrance to the harbor. It was the pier construction in the 1990's that created what is now a beautiful, sandy (very unusual for Lake Ontario) and private beach area we own contiguous to the NYS land. The sandy lake bottom makes the shoreline perfect for beach walks and swimming, with no undertow on calm water days, and being fresh water, there are no jellyfish or other saltwater negatives. Enjoy refreshing onshore breezes off the Lake during the day and offshore breezes at night. Lake Ontario will entertain young and old alike as it roars on windy days, making it feel like you are at the ocean (without the saltwater!), with a blazing, stunning sunset over the water quite likely to end your day. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation or a Salmon or Trout fishing adventure while having some time away from a hectic routine, then you have found one of the best locations in New York state to do just that. The Waterfront Cottage is cozy and comfortable, in a perfect location right on the River, providing a wonderful getaway for fishing with the kids, or enjoying quiet, tranquil time connecting with its natural surroundings. For fall fishermen who want to maximize their enjoyment of Lake Ontario and the Salmon River when they are not actually out on the water, there is no finer place.

In addition to the perfect harbor location, right on the Salmon River with its beautiful sunsets, the cottage is also equipped with hi-def cable TV and free high speed wireless Internet, so that you can stay connected to the outside world, as much as you need or want to....
