About this property

Blind Sodus Bay 3BR Private Waterfront Family Cottage

  • 2027 Booking Update
    Reservations for 2027 are not yet available as we complete planned waterfront improvements, including the installation of a permanent dock. We expect to open the 2027 calendar in early 2027 and look forward to welcoming guests once these exciting upgrades are complete.

    Escape to the peaceful side of Fair Haven at our charming 3-bedroom waterfront cottage nestled on the shores of Blind Sodus Bay. Tucked away, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of relaxation, boating, fishing, and family fun.

    What truly sets our cottage apart is the privacy. Mature trees line both sides of the property, creating a secluded retreat where you can enjoy the beauty of the bay without feeling crowded by neighbors.

    Waterfront Paradise
    Step outside to your own private waterfront oasis featuring:
    • Easy entry into the water
    • Beautiful bay views from the backyard
    • Kayak and paddle boat available for guest use
    • Large waterfront yard perfect for yard games and outdoor gatherings

    Spend your days boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, or simply watching the sunrise over the bay with your morning coffee.

    Outdoor Living
    The backyard is designed for making memories, featuring:
    • Spacious waterfront lawn
    • Oversized fire pit for evening campfires and s'mores
    • Propane grill on the porch
    • Plenty of room for family activities and outdoor dining
