About this cottage rental

Welcome to our cottage by Lake Ontario!
Decompress and leave you worries behind in this quaint cottage located in a serene setting.
Set close to the end of a dead-end road, this cottage is the perfect escape from everyday life. Enjoy a quiet walk in this cute lakeside neighborhood, a homecooked meal from the fully equipped kitchen, or lounge on the sunny patio. After you have enjoyed your day, prepare recipes on the gas grill and unwind while you roast marshmallows in the outdoor fireplace.
This is the perfect mix of peace and quiet but still minutes away from restaurants, shops, canal towns, attractions, parks and beaches including paved paths to walk or bike on the Erie Canal and Hamlin Beach State Park.
Check out as late as 2 pm upon request!
Our cottage is consistently rated 5 stars for cleanliness, and we take great pride in meticulously cleaning our cottage before each guest arrive. We want our guests to be comfortable. If you have fragrance sensitivities, please notify us at the time of booking to see if your special needs can be accommodated. We do have one plug in scent in the utility room and a Damprid to absorb moisture in the bedroom closets. We absolutely can remove them prior to arrival with advanced notice.
We thoroughly clean and disinfect between each rental.

Relive your cottage memories! Come to relax, to chat around the outdoor fireplace, sunbathe, hike, or read a good book!

This charming 1100 sq. ft. heated year-round vacation rental cottage is on a cul-de-sac, in a lakeside community, along the shores of Lake Ontario. It's located in Hilton New York - a beautiful northwestern suburb of Rochester, New York. Located far enough away to enjoy a secluded retreat from everyday life, but close enough to experience all that Rochester has to offer.
The peaceful cottage is nestled on the south side of the road, on a private 50x250 lot backing up to dense wood. The lake is on the north side of the road. There is little traffic. We are not lake front.

This unique location consists of cottages, and homes. It is a 2-minute walk from the Braddock Point Lighthouse which is privately own. There is also a tiny public park called Bogus Park, with a fantastic vantage point to watch the sunset next to the lighthouse during most times of the year. Folding chairs are provided to walk down to watch sunset in comfort. You can access the water by climbing over the boulders, We also provide our park pass to access Hamlin Beach State Park that has a sandy beach,

Conveniently located 2 minutes from the scenic Lake Ontario Parkway, this serene setting provides fresh air and the opportunity to kick back and take things a bit more slowly.
This is an optimal place to surround yourself with peace and quiet. The cottage is the perfect mix of a lakeside retreat and a woodland cabin. It has the beautiful rustic touches you would expect with updates. The private setting is enhanced by a deep lot, and the benefit of not being sandwiched between neighboring houses.
This is a very safe neighborhood. We do have security cameras to monitor the driveway.
This is a delightful gem of a place to get away to unwind. Whether it is quiet solitude and reflection or days filled with activities you will find it all here.

Included at no extra charge: high speed wireless internet, Roku & Spectrum Cable Television in living room and both bedrooms.

Additional Things to do: Metro Rochester is within a 30-minute drive. There are great restaurants, theaters, Rochester Redwings baseball, planetarium, science museum, a zoo, and night clubs. There are various festivals throughout the year.

Owners' comments: Summer of 2005 was the first time we offered our cottage for rent after 2 years of renovations. We wanted to open it up and share the beauty with others. We hope you will enjoy your stay and get back to the place you call home refreshed.
We have been blessed to meet wonderful guests over the years from many different States and even Europe, and Australia.
We had very favorable feedback. Guests comment on how clean and spacious it is and that the rooms are much bigger than the photos show!

We delight in welcoming guests of every age. Our goal is to make you feel snug and immediately at home in our cottage.
Our cottage is a wonderful place to spend quality time together to strengthen bonds and connections with those that matter most!


Hilton is a beautiful place to visit anytime of the year. Enjoy the chartreuse springs, golden summers, scarlet autumns and the snow-white winters. Rent our cottage for an old fashion stress-free vacation away from day-to-day distractions. You will not be disappointed.
Hope to hear from you!

This was a lovely property as described in the listing. The hosts were prompt and pleasant in their communication. We had no issues whatsoever. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea, very helpful to be able to sit and relax after a long drive with a hot beverage and pleasant surroundings.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
This was the most warm and inviting cottage we have ever been in. Had everything we could have possibly wanted. The cottage was clean and well decorated with much Rochester history on the walls. The hosts were super nice and very considerate the whole time. Would absolutely consider coming back!
6 / 10Average·Feb 2024
My girlfriend and I stayed here for our visit to Rochester and my Alma mater at RIT. The house has access to a private beach which is to die for! Unfortunately, when we opened the door we were instantly hit by the toxic fragrance smell of plug ins and scent sticks. My girlfriend has multiple chemical sensitivity and we were not aware there would be such an extreme amount of plug-ins, scent sticks, & other scented items. Right away we messaged the host to let them know and sadly right from the start we were met with gaslighting and no empathy for her reactions to the chemicals. Even with all 10 scent sources removed, we had to have the windows open and fan on during snowstorms each day and sleep in the living room to help her symptoms. We were not able to sleep in the rooms! After a few messages back and forth, we asked what they could do for us. No response. The rest of the trip. After our trip the host continued with no empathy or compassion for our condition and situation. We did eventually ask for compensation for our troubles, but were met with “…thank you for confirming there was nothing physically we needed to do for you.” Overall, we still give it 3 stars for the location, but the lack of communication and empathy was pretty shocking. They felt as long as they weren’t breaking VRBO host guidelines, they did nothing wrong and didn’t even need to respond. Ask questions up front and let them know if you don’t like to breathe toxic fumes all day and night.
