Lovely waterfront home on Lake Ontario


Our family cottage is nestled in the woods with 150 feet of waterfront property overlooking beautiful Lake Ontario.

Our property has three levels for you to enjoy your surroundings. The deck attached to the house offers stunning views of the lake and sunset. Grill and dine, play a game of darts or simply read a book while you enjoy the tranquility. A flight of stairs off of the deck leads you to a grassy area where you will find Adirondack chairs around a fire pit. Bring lawn darts or corn hole for some family fun! Continue along a short path and down another flight of stairs and you will arrive at our beach deck on the shore. Go for a refreshing swim or take a kayak excursion. Or simply sit on the deck and enjoy the sparkling water and sea breeze!

Robert G. Wehle State Park is minutes away and offers many amenities, including miles of hiking trails, tennis courts and a brand new playground for the kids. Take a picnic lunch and walk along the beautiful cliff trail to the slate shoals where you will find picnic tables and restrooms.

There are sandy beaches a short drive to the north or south. Picnic tables and grills dot the beach at Westcott State Park and Southwick State Park.

Stroll through the picturesque town of Sackets Harbor, visit the charming shops, historic sites and battlefield, and dine at one of the many waterfront restaurants.

Anglers take note! Boating and fishing enthusiasts flock to this area every summer. There are many fishing charters available in Henderson Harbor and boat rentals at our local marinas for a reasonable price. If you own a boat, there is no place to park or turn a boat around on our road, which is a dead end. However, you can park your trailer on our property at the top of the hill or at the local marina.

For the more adventurous, the Black River in Watertown boasts some of the best whitewater rafting in the country.

Explore the area with day trips to the Renaissance Fair, the Thousand Islands with ferry rides to Boldt Castle, and the Enchanted Forest Water Safari in the Adirondacks.

An evening is not complete without a trip to The Trolley for an ice cream cone, an upstate NY summer tradition.

This three bedroom, two bath home sleeps six adults comfortably. All three bedrooms have air conditioning units. There is a washer and dryer available for your use.

Please note from Sunday, June 29th through July 27th all bookings are Sunday to Sunday.

Lake Ontario Treasure

We loved being at the Lake House. The swimming was amazing. We walked, picked wild apples, saw turkeys, water birds, hummingbirds, butterflies, spiders, osprey and a bald eagle. We had privacy and quiet and adventure. Thank you.

The property was spacious, with three bedrooms and two baths. We used only one bedroom and bath —good news for the cleaning crew. The only complaint I have is the noisy and inefficient air conditioning system. Maybe the owner can hire a professional to fix this problem. Anyway, we had a good time and most likely will rent again.

Fantastic Relaxation

We loved our stay at this wonderful hidden gem! Spacious and clean. We were able to still enjoy sitting outside on the deck even during the rainstorms with the roofed alcove. The view from the shore sitting area was beautiful! And the hosts were very helpful with any questions we had. We're already planning our next trip here!

Perfect Fall Weekend

This was the perfect lakefront home for a relaxing, long weekend away. Owners are very responsive and helpful! The sunset views were amazing and our dogs loved exploring down by the lower dock! Extremely quiet neighborhood, but not far at all from restaurants. We ate at Carbones one night and then Tin Pan Galley after spending an afternoon in Sackets Harbor… Both were excellent recommendations! Our favorite activity was the hiking in Robert Wehle state park- absolutely breathtaking views of Lake Ontario! We’ll definitely be back to visit the area again!😊 Thank you for sharing your beautiful family home with us, Kimberly & David (And Hondo & Rory too🐾🐾)

Relaxing get away!

What a beautiful home away from home! My family and dog stayed for a week and had a very enjoyable time. The cottage was clean and very spacious with lots of room for storage of any kind. Keep in mind there is not a stove, but we never needed one! The deck by the water was our favorite part with inner tubes and 2 kayaks. We were very impressed at how calm and clean the water of Lake Ontario was by the camp. Would love to stay again!

Stayed here in the fall, simply looking for peaceful silence. And it provided that both times. Have zero complaints and it’s a great spot for either fall or spring and I’m sure it’s absolutely lovely in the summer.

Wonderful Lakeside Retreat!

Beautifully located home on Lake Ontario. Home is immaculately clean and has everything needed to enjoy the area. Very comfortable in every way. Views are excellent and house is secluded. Owners are very attentive and respond to questions, etc. You will not be disappointed with this rental. Will stay here again!

Peaceful Tranquility!

This vacation was wonderful. We were able to take our two dogs who are our “kids”. The house was a large ranch style with one floor living. The outdoors had a large deck looking over the lake, a terrace with a great fire pit, and a third deck water level. There are a lot of stairs but east to navigate. We had rainy weather but still visited four state parks while there for 4 days. The owners were very attentive and made sure our stay was perfect. You don’t need to bring anything but your clothes and food. The property is well maintained and comfortable. We sat at the table and watched the boats go by. Be sure to bring solid water shoes, this beach area is rocky. If you prefer sand, there are two beaches nearby, and a third about 45 minutes away. I think anyone would be comfortable there, even an older person could enjoy lake views from the main deck. I was very appreciative of the owners attention to detail. We would definitely rent from them again if visiting Ontario.

Wonderful vacation spot

Had a great time at this home. It is better than the pics, and owners are very accommodating and have really thought of everything, the home is very well equipped with everything we needed. The kayaks were great and we had great weather to use the floats too. Bon fires at nite after the gorgeous sunsets. Communication was not a problem at all, answered a few miner questions we had right away. Very relaxing time. We loved it and hope to return. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely place.

Wonderful Lake Views and Sunsets

This is a fantastic place to spend a summer week at the lake! We (2 adults, 2 teens) traveled with my brother and sister-in-law, the layout accommodates groups such as ours exceptionally well. The front door opens into a charming, large living room with sliding glass doors to the deck (and view of Lake Ontario). To the right are the kitchen, a master BR and adjacent full bathroom. On the opposite side of the living room are two additional BR (one king, one with 2 twin beds) a second bathroom and the laundry room. The entire home was spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. The surrounding area is full of lovely towns on the lake or river, and we never lacked for places to explore, good restaurants, and activities such as boat tours and exploring Boldt Castle. The owners were helpful and attentive, Janet reached out after the prior renters mentioned bees on the deck to offer helpful advice to keep them away (they were not an issue during our stay). If you choose to just stay on property the entire week, you can easily keep busy kayaking or floating in the lake, or relaxing on the deck(s) or at the fire pit. We played some competitive games of darts and Clue, with many other games to choose from. The sunsets each evening were extraordinary - never the same, and always beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Beautiful lakehouse

This is a beautiful lakehouse on Henderson Harbor. They have a very well-stocked kitchen., and it was nice to have the beds made when we arrived. We enjoyed many hours swimming. kayaking, paddleboarding relaxing on floats, watching the sunsets and just enjoying our perfect surroundings. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the three different levels from which we could enjoy the lake! .
