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 place!
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.

Beautiful house- Gorgeous View
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!

Family summer vacation
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!

Perfect for weekend getaway
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.

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

Nurse's getaway!!
Four of us girls attended a comedy show at the Kodak Center, and instead of paying for 2 hotel rooms, I found this beautiful, affordable, lakefront gem! If the weather had been warmer we would have enjoyed some time on the scenic deck, but we enjoyed wine and laughter before the show in the cozy living room/open floor plan. House was very organized and well thought out for guests. Hostess Leslie was VERY prompt answering last minute questions. Mattress in king bedroom felt like a luxury hotel...didn't want to get up!! Everything about this property was wonderful and we would love to go back!!
