Lakefront lac Ontario. Vacances fabuleuses et pêche Près de la rivière Salmon

Overall: Enjoyed our stay. This is a very old rustic cottage so don't expect anything fancy. Yes, it's musty...it's a lake cottage with no A/C. If there were the possibility for A/C, a larger bed, and no mouse it would've been 5 stars.

Pros: Lovely view; quiet; allows pets; can faintly see Milky Way on clear nights; newly renovated full bath with good towels (nicest room in the cottage); also a half-bath which is handy; has Direct TV if you get tired of looking at the lake; can swim off of the neighbor's beach (looks abandoned); dishwasher; washer/dryer; decent kitchen amenities; fans in every room; gas fireplace looks inviting; good for one couple or a family with young children; owner communicated well; check-in and check-out were a breeze

Cons: Even with cool nights and a breeze, no A/C makes for clammy interiors (probably better suited for fall/spring when humidity is lower); rooms very small and are unable to accommodate beds larger than a double (had to put luggage in living room); there's a nuclear power plant to the left of the horizon but pretty easy to ignore; we saw a mouse and promptly told the owner who apologized and said he'd send an exterminator; stopper in tub wasn't working so a consideration for those with small children who still take baths; beach access is a bit difficult; beware of leeches and wear river shoes in the water; don't forget insect repellent (mosquitoes and biting flies)

Highs: brand new bathroom with large tub and nice shower, right next to Lake Ontario, and appointed with everything you need including a well-equipped kitchen, laundry machines, large dining area and nice clean linens. Clearly very lovingly maintained with lots of thought reflected in the amenenities.

Cons: It was a little more rustic than we expected— what looked like wood paneling is actually unfinished walls. When we arrived the windows were sealed tight and curtains pulled and it was very stuffy and dusty— causing my son’s asthma to flare up and giving me itchy skin and eyes. It was a bit rainy so we had to stay indoors a bit and it was hard to keep rain out without adding to the stuffy feeling. the whole space was kind of oddly laid-out, with a fireplace blocking the view of the lake from the living room.

The owners were very nice and I think it would be great for people without asthma/dust allergies.... and definitely the weather makes a big difference!

We had a very nice time! We enjoyed the sunsets, the swimming, the house was perfect especially with the 2 bathrooms! The beds were very comfortable. Would definitely consider staying there again!

Wonderful time! Weather was beautiful. Our second time staying here and will definitely be back. Will stay longer next time. Close to Syracuse and the Thousand Islands. Thanks Matt for allowing to share your piece of heaven

Great rental if you enjoy life on the lake. Roomy property with a large break wall to fish from or just sit relax and enjoy a great lake ontario sunset. The house has everything you could need and want at the lake. I would definitely rent again. Owner was very easy to deal with and get in touch with. Overall great experience!!!!
