It was a wonderful stay for the week at Lake Ontario. The listing is accurately described and has a large lawn for games and fenced in backyard as well. It was great for our family gathering!
We had a wonderful stay, it was close to the water, clean, quiet and had everything we needed. It was close to beaches, stores and restaurants. It was child and pet friendly. The property owners were very helpful .
I was looking for a place for myself to relax and think. The house was cute, and I enojoyed sitting in the backyard watching the bunnies and listening to the birds. Perfect space for what I needed.
Perfect camp for fishing trip to Lake Ontario. Four adults and 2 dogs. Everything you need and more. Plenty of parking easy access to food and gas. Would definitely stay again! Owner Chris was excellent
Wonderful place, lots of room inside and out, close to state parks and beaches. Chris was a welcoming and thoughtful host. We appreciated the ramp to the back door so that our elderly uncle could visit.
This property was just as advertised. A great location, easy access to 2 boat launches for the fishermen/scuba crowd, and a lovely neighborhood, yard and lake access for the rest of us who just hung out, including two active dogs that enjoyed swimming. Simple kitchen with nice grill, and we didnt miss the A/c. Very nice and accessible owner.
We had an amazing time at this property. Kitchen was very well stocked for cooking and eating. Lots of indoor and outdoor activities. Dogs absolutely loved the fenced in backyard. Quiet private road with wonderful friendly people. Highly recommend!
This lake cottage was perfect for our stay. It was clean and located right across the road from lake Ontario. It has a fenced in backyard and large spacious front yard with a great grill. Chris and his wife were so helpful and left everything one might need in the house. Although there is no wifi it was a great way to get away and there is cell service. Also although it was summertime it is cool at night with a breeze so the lack of AC is no problem at all. We had a great stay and will be back.
Property somewhat dated & could use a deeper cleaning, as rooms and the outdoor areas were dirty. Designed for hunters and fishermen primarily. Master bedroom had the water heater, yet was quite cold most of the time. First two days were in the forties, and a small oil radiator and space heater didn't help much. No closets, just hooks for clothing and limited drawer storage space. It was okay for the week. Fortunately, severely potholed entry road was graded the 2nd day in. We visited many historic sites once weather improved for rest of week there. Microwave was atop fridge, but wife stands only 5'4" tall; hard to reach for her to use (hubby 6'4"). Also hard to read the panel; as many lights out.
I received a message from owner about construction going on and that it was supposed to be done by the tenth long before our arrival. She mentioned it shouldnât interrupt our stay. So we didnât think much about it. At check in it was far too late to cancel but the entire back yard that was supposed to be fenced in so my dogs could run and play was a terrible disappointment. The entire side of the house was dig up, mud, dirt 3 foot trenches around the home workers pounding and hammering until after 6pm. I had to clean the microwave before use, the fridge still has several different opened containers of condiments etc, the stairs to the upstairs were extremely steep and the only hand trail was a piece of trim molding. The host was sweet as she could be however I can not recommend this place.
While this property has potential, there were several issues that impacted our stay.
Location: The property is located in a beautiful, natural area with close access to lake Ontario.
Accommodation: The cottage had some notable problems. The windows were dirty, there were mold stains on the ceiling, and a general musty smell throughout the property. Additionally, the coffee machine was full of bugs and mouse droppings, which was very concerning.
When I contacted the owner about these issues, they simply apologized and stated that the property wasnât up to my standards, which was not a satisfactory response.
The stairs leading to the beds on the second floor didn't feel safe, and that room was significantly hotter than the rest of the cottage.
Amenities: Although some amenities were provided, the overall cleanliness and upkeep were lacking. It's important to note that the Expedia description mentioned a bath, but there was only a shower. This was disappointing as a bath is essential for us with three young children. The description should be updated to reflect this accurately.
Overall Experience: If the property was better taken care of, I would have given it a higher rating. Unfortunately, due to the cleanliness and safety concerns, I cannot recommend this property in its current state.
This was the first time booking with Vrbo. I want to say how wonderful Chris was for a host. She was very quick to respond to messages and get back to me with any questions I had. When we arrived there was a half dozen eggs and a half gallon of milk in the fridge. With a family with two small kids this was a nice gesture and we used it all. The home had plenty of space for us all and we loved the fenced in back yard for the kids to play in. It was close to town about 7 minutes to main town of Pulaski. The description was good about the rental although I took it as the house was on the waterside of the road, but it was across the road. But all in all we had a great time and would highly recommend this place and Chris as a host. I want to thank Chris for allowing us to stay an extra night. I had reached out about a late check out Monday so we could fish another day and we were offered another night, which was so great and amazing.
Owner was very helpful and informative. Cottage is well equipped and very clean. Just bring your clothes and toothbrush! Restaurants and grocery stores conveniently located close by. Fenced in yard was great for our dogs, so they had fun too.
Our family has owned camps on Ramona Beach since the 1920s. We were in town for a family reunion and this was perfect for my brother and I. Short walk to our family camp. Easy access to the lake.
Chris was a fabulous hostess. Met us at house to show us around. Literally all you need to bring is your toiletries (and there are some there as well) and your food (although multi grocery stores are rather close). Chairs, tubes, water boards, chairs, firewood, linens, towels - yup, all there :). Location is perfect with easy access to lake and beach across street. Many, many state parks very close as well. Gas station, pizza, delis and ice cream places are close by as well. Weekend we hit a few local flea mkts. Very quaint home, but very comfortable. Only fans, but honestly, only 1 afternoon it felt a lil warm inside..but it was also 90 outside. Just open all the windows w/fans and its perfection. Back yard was perfect with fire pit and fenced in for my gkids and 2 dogs. TY again Chris - we will be back!!
My husband and I had a very relaxing time. The accommodation were nice and the fenced yard for our dog was an added bonus. Sited on a quiet road with 10 mph traffic made for great walks and the lake access, although we didn't swim was the perfect spot for amazing sunsets.
My family was comfortable in this bright, airy and open cottage. It was accurately described and well equipped. Convenient to lots of places to explore or relax without leaving. Chris was very friendly, informative, and accommodating! Highly recommended!
Brought back wonderful memories of lake camp living.
Lake camp just like I remember. Swimming, catching frogs, campfires and s'mores, delicious picnic, games, and very nice neighbors too. Even the T storm held off until we were all in bed. Everything we needed was provided. Fabulous host.
We had a great time in the cute cottage by the lake. Chris is a great host, who makes sure you are taken care of and keeps in communication. Perfect for fisherman that need a place to unwind after a long day. We will definitely stay again.
