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.
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.
We truly enjoyed our stay in this home. The home was well stocked with everything that met our needs. The host was easy to chat with, when needed. We would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Rochester and needs a place to stay.
We stayed here to attend a family wedding and overall we enjoyed our stay. The property was as listed. There were a few minor issues communicated to the property manager and she responded promptly. The location and amenities were very nice. We would definitely stay there again if our travel plans take us to that area again.
The views of the lake were beautiful and could be seen from everyone on the first floor. The house so cute and decorated perfectly for a lake house. The owner is wonderful and had amazing communication with us.
She has also thought through everything that is needed for the stay, including coffee, tea and snacks. We loved every second of being there. We hope to come back again!
Home was as described in description. Plenty of space and beautiful views! Highly suggest getting up early to watch sunrise with your morning coffee! Took several walks to swimming area just down the road. Also enjoyed playground down the road and some fishing! Great weekend to relax and recharge before the new school year!
What a great house on the lake. Only 2 Bedrooms, but can sleep about a dozen. They have these cool Serta sofa sleepers that covert to beds and better than a traditional uncomfortable sleeper sofas. Nice outdoor sitting area and deck, although little cool to enjoy. Kitchen and baths were well stocked a lot of extras. Pretty close to town for restaurants and stores. We would definitely stay here again if we are coming back to the the area. everything was well marked for cupboards and light switches.
We loved everything about our time at this house!
Some things that were especially great:
Super comfy beds and couches
Well appointed kitchen for cooking
Beautiful lake views…a snowy lake during our stay
Coffee and creamer provided by hosts
Wifi, board games, tv…I lost at Yahtzee
Our kids appreciated the cereal and snacks provided by the hosts :)
There are so many thoughtful touches all throughout this home. We could tell it is a place where lots of love, laughter and memories have been shared over the years, including ours. We’re so grateful for our time here!
We loved our stay at the lake! It truly was tranquil! Leslie was quick to reply to any questions we had and truly created a home away from home. We did not want for anything!
The house was well stocked with needed supplies, offered washer and dryer, and extra toiletries if we had forgotten ours. Kitchen cupboards were labeled making it easy to find everything. And kitchen was well stocked! This house was great! We look forward to staying again. Thank you Leslie for an absolutely wonderful stay!
Leslie’s house was exactly what we were looking for on our summer vacation. It’s beautifully situation right on Lake Ontario with stunning views. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood but with easy access to major highways into Rochester or over to Niagara Falls. Leslie thinks of everything that you might need while on vacation and then some. Extra bathroom amenities if you forget your own, welcome snacks, a bottle of wine and a great Kuerig coffee selection. Great kitchen supplies if you’re looking to cook while you’re there which we did every night and also took advantage of the gas grill. Beds were extremely comfortable and the kids had enough room to spread out with the bunk beds and large open living room upstairs. Zero complaints and I would highly recommend staying here!
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!
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!
We had an amazing stay at this property. It was just as described and then some. Host was very responsive throughout check-in etc. Would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Rochester area.
This home was the perfect place to stay with my family. The views are breath taking. The home was clean and very well organized. Our hostess checked in multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed.
The property was beautiful and had a pleasure to relax at. Plenty of room for a house full of people and comfy beds and pillows! Due to water surrounding all sides of the property be mindful of all the bugs!
Ŵould stay again!!Views are amazing! The property offered a wide range of extras including snacks, toiletries, kitchen items. Big plus!The kitchen was well-stocked with all necessary utensils and supplies locations labled, making cooking easy and convenient. The property was nicely furnished with 4 sofa bed convertibles, 2 sets of bunkbeds, and a very cumfy master bed. Though its only 2 bedrooms there are lots of shared spaces to sleep. The dining table was large as well, seeting 8 comfortably. Nice entry way to leave all your shoes at the door and coats ( 2 large closets in this space). Overall a great stay with awesome views , and wonderful host.
Amazing Views at this cute cottage on Lake Ontario
This cottage home was quaint, very warm and welcoming and had amazing views of Lake Ontario. The host provided coffee, toiletries, a well stocked kitchen and lots of extras. It was the perfect place for our sisters weekend. :)
The house was clean, just as described, and had all the little extras! They thought of everything; such as individual milks to go with complimentary cereal, laundry soap, dryer sheets, etc. You can tell they actually put thought into what their guests may need. Will absolutely be back next time we come home to Rochester.
