Great view
We were there for a graduation weekend from SUNY Oswego. House was great, included everything you need for an enjoyable stay, even dry firewood. The view of lake is great, stunning sunsets. Fit our party of 8 very comfortably. Highly recommend.

Second Stay as Nice as the First!
Having stayed at this wonderful property in May of 2019, the relaxing sounds of the waves crashing against the rocky shore of Lake Ontario were calling us back. This is a gem of a rental, comfortable and spacious for three adults. The kitchen is fantastic, well-equipped, and the views from dining room and porch are spectacular. Brandon was great to work with (again) and we look forward to another return visit sometime in the future.

Great Experience
Everything about this cottage was perfect for a quiet respite from the world. The sunsets are beautiful from the bluff and though there is no water access from the cottage itself, we loved being up above the water and listening g to the waves crash into the rocks as we slept. The beds were very comfortable but definitely recommend bringing fans if you are staying in the warmer months for the 2 upstairs bedrooms that do get a bit toasty. There was 1 fan on-site but we brought several others along. The swing by the water is perfect as well as the beautiful trees that light up at night. The road it’s located on is a beautiful location for a peaceful walk as the left hand side butts up to state land and is undeveloped. Lots of trees and birds. It felt like I was walking a trail. I can imagine this would be an incredibly beautiful location in the fall as well. Perfect, peaceful stay!

Beautiful location
I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I am 79 and I would suggest some changes in the first floor bathroom. I would put non-slip tape strips on the bathtub floor and gripper bars on the sides of the tub. I did not use the shower because I was concerned about slipping and falling. These two suggestions are not a big deal but they would certainly make a difference for senior citizens like me.

Excellent Lake House
Our group of seven has an annual salmon fishing trip in late September. Unfortunately, our previous location had already been rented so this was our first stay at this home. Easy check in. Excellent communication from Brandon. We had a fire overlooking the lake the last night with some firewood provided with the home. All sleeping quarters were as described with new towels and sheets. We would definitely stay at this home again. Thank you

Amazing Lakefront Property!
Brought our Dad to Pulaski to reminisce. He worked on the local Douglaston Farms and hadn’t been to the area since 1960. We thoroughly enjoyed the lakefront view and the sound of the waves while sitting on the swing chair. The house was perfect size and very well kept! The owner Brandon was very responsive to any questions we had prior and during our stay. Everything was within 12 minutes from the property which was very convenient. We would like to stay again in warmer weather so we can enjoy the beach nearby.

We found the property absolutely delightful. There was an off lake breeze even though the temperature was the high 80's to low 90's. Sound of the waves were great to hear while sleeping and very soothing. The sunsets were spectacular. We would defintely try to book at this camp when we return to upstate NY.

Great week at the lake
Relaxing family get together. We all loved the water views, being on the water, excellent amenities such as the grill, kitchen supplies, outdoor shed for storage, fire pit including the wood, and plenty of parking. Having 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor made it easier to spread out. This place was extremely clean and well maintained. Brandon was extremely fast replying to my questions. We recommend this place to anyone wanting a lake house close to the state parks for swimming. We could not imagine an easier check in process!! Thanks for the great week Brandon!

This lake house went beyond my expectations. Besides being super clean it was so well equipped we only needed to bring our consumables. Amazing sunsets!!! If you are into walking it's easy to get your "10,000 steps /day" in while walking along the shoreline road admiring the beautiful properties along the lake. I'm looking forward to reserving this property again in the future. Nancy LoBello

This was a Christmas present for our two adult children. They live out of state and we have not been together since before Covid. My son and his wife have a nine month old. My daughter is from VA. My husband and myself. Plenty of room, we especially liked the sunsets. I loved the kitchen ... I love to cook and the kitchen had everything you could possibility want. Plenty of cupboard space too. The sunsets were amazing every single night even on a rainy day. Neighbors were wonderful to talk to. Almost forget the great fires in the firepit every night.
