Port Bay Waterfront Cottage — Your Private Lakeside Escape

Port Bay Waterfront Cottage — Your Private Lakeside Escape

Wake up to water views, spend the day on the bay, and end the evening around the fire pit. This cozy, recently updated waterfront cottage is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy everything Port Bay and the Lake Ontario region have to offer.

Located directly on beautiful Port Bay in Wolcott, NY, the cottage offers the kind of waterfront setting that makes you feel like you’ve truly gotten away. Step outside with your morning coffee, watch the boats go by, fish from your private dock, or simply relax and take in the panoramic views.

Inside, the cottage comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a comfortable great room overlooking the water. The cottage has been thoughtfully updated with comfortable queen memory-foam mattresses, updated flooring, newer furnishings, air conditioning, WiFi, and everything you need for an easy, relaxing stay.

The Waterfront

The best part of the cottage is right outside your door.

Enjoy your own private permanent dock, perfect for fishing, swimming, relaxing, or bringing your boat. Port Bay provides access to Lake Ontario and is a favorite destination for anglers and boating enthusiasts.

We’ve also provided the equipment to help you enjoy the water:

• 6 kayaks
• Canoe
• Life jackets
• Private dock
• Swimming and fishing right from the property
• Beautiful waterfront views

Whether you’re an avid fisherman or just want to paddle around the bay with the kids, there’s plenty to enjoy without ever leaving the property.

Relax Outside

Spend your days outside enjoying the peaceful setting and your evenings gathered around the fire pit making s’mores and sharing stories.

Fire up the grill for dinner, settle into an Adirondack chair, or curl up on the waterfront porch and watch the sunset.

It’s the kind of place where the schedule quickly becomes: coffee, water, sunshine, dinner, fire pit, repeat.

Inside the Cottage

The cottage is clean, comfortable, and designed for a relaxed family getaway.

You’ll have:

• 2 comfortable bedrooms with a queen bed and a full over queen bunk bed
• Full bathroom with shower
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Great room with water views
• Comfortable additional sleeping options

Perfect for Families, Couples & Fishermen

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a weekend away, a fishing trip, or simply want a peaceful place to escape the everyday routine, this cottage is an ideal home base.

Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring the fishing poles — and leave the busy schedule behind.

You’re also conveniently located near Chimney Bluffs State Park, Lake Ontario, beaches, wineries, golf, marinas, and other Finger Lakes-area attractions. Port Bay is just steps away, while Chimney Bluffs State Park is approximately 30 minutes by car.

Come Make Some Memories

Some vacation homes are simply places to sleep.

This one is meant to be enjoyed.

Kayak across the bay. Catch a fish. Grill dinner. Watch the sunset. Gather around the fire. Let the kids play outside. Relax with a cup of coffee while the water wakes up around you.

We’d love to have you experience our little piece of Port Bay.

Book your waterfront getaway and come enjoy the lake!

Peaceful Cottage on the Water

Nice quiet neighborhood and relaxing couple of days. We were able to see the aurora borealis while we were there, which made our stay even more special. Chimney Bluffs State Park is just a short trip away and is a great hike with fantastic views! Looking forward to returning next year!

Second stay at the cottage

The property is great. We stayed there last September and had to go back. Ashley is a great host. Cottage is very clean, stocked with everything one would need during a stay. Fishing is great, and the use of the canoe and kayaks is a huge plus. Neighbors are quiet and the house is in a private, not busy area. We enjoyed our stay and plan to go back again soon.

Cute cottage on the bay

We overall enjoyed our stay. It was a bit chilly as it only has a couple of electric heaters but it was okay. Pretty comfortable overall. Could use a few more kitchen utensils and better knives but it worked for a couple of days.

Nice, one floor cottage. Kitchen had many items to cook and bake with. Lots of blankets and heaters if needed. Some items in the outdoor deck box to make a fire for s'mores. Will need kindling in the future. The view was beautiful! Mattresses were nice and we all slept well! Quiet because we went off season. Would definitely come back! Messages were answered quickly!

Fishing Paradise

We rented this cottage for a 4-day weekend in early October to go fishing. My daughter caught over 60 fish right from the dock! The cottage was clean and spacious. Everything needed was provided. All we needed to bring was food, clothes, and fishing equipment. We'll be renting again next year.

Wonderful stay.

We enjoyed our stay in this nice cottage in the perfect location on Port Bay. The expansive sun room provided lots of space for a variety of activities. We loved drinking our coffee in the morning while enjoying the views of the bay. The only recommendations we have is to place trash baskets in the bedrooms and bathroom not just the kitchen. The kitchen was lacking in mixing bowls and storage containers. A larger trash can in the storage shed and a recycling bin would be a plus too. The entry door into the sunroom does not open well so a quick fix to that is needed. Other than those few small tweaks this was a wonderful place to vacation and we will be back for sure. Thanks for your hospitality!

Clean, quaint cottage

Property was spacious. The lake facing porch was huge and had windows all around . We literally lived there. Good appliances. Clean kitchen and bath. There were linens clean and the beds were made up but We brought our own sleeping bags. Beds and pull out were great. Water was instant hot and had good pressure. Bathroom shower, toilet, sink, lighting Was excellent. The presence of invasive species purple loose strife was sad. The area around the dock was algae and weedy. There Was no shade. Fire Pit was perfectly placed and there was a storage bin for the wood. Went to use the gas grill but had to spend about 1)2 hour to clean it. Very greasy. The side tables were coated with dust and grease. Worked great when we cooked with it. I would love to see a yard clean up and yhe water edge cleaner.
