About this house rental

A perfect retreat for individuals, couples, small families, or those looking for a remote work spot, our house boasts views of the most beautiful sunsets on the pristine waters of Lake Ontario. The location offers access to plenty of activities such as world-class fishing, great restaurants, rich historical sites, smaller waterways for canoeing and kayaking, plenty of hiking trails, golf courses, wineries, distilleries, seasonal festivals, skiing, and snowshoeing. Our favorite activity is to just stay at the house, play in the water, grill, and spend time together on the deck watching boats pass and the sun set. In the winter we love to ice fish and cross country ski, then come back to the house to have cocktails around the fireplace.

Our kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and a supply of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a starter supply of coffee and tea. A drip coffee maker, Keurig, French press, and coffee grinder are available.

The large main bedroom has a king bed, double closet, and a sliding door overlooking the water. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the sofa is a luxury sleeper full size pullout. There is a desk and office chair in the kitchen/living area.

Overlooking the water, our living room is equipped for indoor entertainment with a large Smart TV, board/card games, and an assortment of books.

From the large back deck take in the views as you grill and dine. The metal staircase will take you down 15 feet to limestone rock ledges where you can relax in provided camp chairs. This is the only access to the water, down the stairs, as a heads up. We highly recommend that everyone wear water shoes as the rocks in and out of the water are slippery, we do provide a ladder for daily use to easily get into and out of water. Tread at your own risk. We provide life jackets, we require you to use them to swim; swimming is at your own risk. Additionally, across the road, there is a large lawn for games or for parking a boat/snowmobile trailer if needed. Once the sun sets, roast some s'mores at the firepit!

Whether you are looking for a calming retreat from the chaos of daily life, or for just a beautiful, easy place to stay with access to the amenities of Lake Ontario, we’d love to host you at our lakehouse, Hazel's Lookout!

***PLEASE NOTE:
1. There is NO dock nor place to anchor your boat or PWC at the house
2. Google maps will show a picture of our land across the street that has two outbuildings on it, but doesn’t show the actual house. The house is on the WATER side of the road.
3. Our water source is a shore well -- we have a sediment filter, carbon filter, and UV filter. It is your discretion whether to use it as drinking water, all I can tell you is that we sometimes do. We do NOT provide bottled water. The pump is located in the house which creates great water pressure, however it does make noise when it has to re-pressurize, this usually only lasts about a minute.

PETS -- there is a one-time $45 pet fee if you are bringing your furry friend; if excessive pet hair or pet waste is found an additional $50 cleaning fee will be applied.

House Rules beyond what is found in house rules section:
-Quiet Hours: 10pm-7am
-NO PARTIES OR EVENTS
-No smoking inside or outside
-Use the waterfront at your own risk — the water can be unpredictable and the rock can be slippery
-We do not allow third party bookings, meaning whomever books the stay must be the guests that stay
-Pets- one dog max, unless specifically given permission otherwise, dogs must be kept on leash when outside, as above a fee will be incurred for excessive pet hair or any pet waste.
-Please ask for prior permission for additional guests beyond the 5 person max, including daytime visits. Our septic is simply unable to accommodate lots of guests. Any overnight guest over the 5 person max will have a $50 additional fee per guest and needs prior authorization. Any extra guests without prior authorization will incur a fee.

Great view of the water, with an excellent set up to enjoy dinner with a sunset. Awesome selection of games and puzzles. Property very well cared for and communication from host was thorough. Only 45 minute drive to Alexandria Bay, with Clayton right between. Will definitely keep this location in mind for any future visits to 1000 island area!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the lake. The fireplaces were perfect to keep things cozy in the chilly mornings. The sunsets were gorgeous! We wouldn’t change a thing.

Really enjoyed ourselves at this very cute home on the lake! This is our second time there and they renovated the bathroom which is beautiful. We will be back.

Our stay was wonderfully accommodating, from the lake views, cleanliness, and the comfortable beds, everything was thoughtfully put together. We appreciated the amenities such as fresh towels, shampoo and conditioner, a well-stocked kitchen with utensils, pots or pans, coffee, tea, and even seasonings galore! There was also an assortment of games and books. Since we were staying during the early spring of upstate NY, it was chilly, but we were so warm and cozy thanks to both propane fireplaces. We travel with our furry companion and it was evident from the pictures and a doggy dish that this place was for fellow pet lovers. The Lakehouse was so welcoming especially as our family remembered and celebrated the life of our mom/grandma who passed exactly a year ago to the date. We enjoyed the waves against the shore and captured all of the sunrises and sunsets. Thank you again to the hosts! We hope to stay again!
