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.

Great kitchen with a view
We rented this house to host Easter dinner and it worked perfectly! Kitchen had everything we needed and dinner was enhanced by the view of the lake! Beds were very comfortable and host was very responsive.

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!

Fun time
My daughter absolutely loved the house! We all did! I really appreciated how equipped the kitchen was. I was able to cook everything on our menu with ease because everything that I could have possibly needed was there! I, of course brought many of my own pots, pans and utensils but I really did not need to. The host were very responsive whenever I needed to communicate with them. Even the neighbor was friendly. He and my dad talked quite a bit while we visited. He told us where to take the kids for a safer play experience on the shore. ONLY thing that was a bit of a downfall were the spiders…I HATE SPIDERS! and unfortunately there were a lot of them. We tried to tackle them with spider/bug spray but they kept showing up everywhere. I would suggest the host having someone to spray before having guest and having a cleaning service clean up all the cobwebs that were in the house. Overall it was a pleasant, fun, relaxing and exciting experience!

comme ci, comme ça
the highs: - great location -- right on lake ontario with easy access to the parkway - great layout -- really bright & roomy kitchen/living/dining room, spacious deck overlooking the water, tons of sleeping accommodations - well stocked -- lots of supplies in the kitchen, coffee, snacks, etc - everything works -- no issues with inoperative appliances the lows: - high traffic areas of the carpet are brown-stained with accumulated lint/grime along the baseboards --> really needs a deep, professional carpet cleaning - air-fresheners run 24/7 to cover the mustiness, but it can be overpowering --> when you turn off the fresheners, then the mustiness from the carpet takes over - shower has mold in all the corners, high and low --> really needs a deep, professional cleaning and re-grouting the net: if you're OK with a place thats a bit dingy, grimy, and musty...then it'd be OK...but if you prefer properly clean accommodations, then you'll be disappointed

Beautiful cottage on the lake
We had an amazing time. The house was clean, everything was labled, plenty of sunlight! We would definitely stay again. We stopped by the Seneca zoo and Rochester museum of play. Thank you for making our stay unforgetable!

Wish I had more time
This property is in an amazing location with a pond out front and the lake out back. I wish I was travelling during better weather so I could enjoy the backyard and deck. I guess I'll have to come back
