This beautiful lakefront cottage has been fully inspected and approved by the Town of Wilson and meets all local rental requirements. If you’re dreaming of a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life—or simply a few days of quiet lakeside serenity—this is the perfect place to unwind.
Nestled directly on the shores of Lake Ontario in Wilson, NY, this charming three-bedroom, two-bath summer cottage offers stunning water views and easy private lake access. Inside, the cottage features a spacious central living and dining area that’s perfect for gathering with family or friends. The kitchen is updated with all new appliances (note: no dishwasher), and every room is equipped with air conditioning for your comfort.
The primary bedroom (14’ x 16’) includes a new king-size bed and mattress and a private en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The primary bedroom has a private walk out deck. The second bedroom (13’ x 13’) features a brand-new queen bed (purchased in 2026) and opens directly onto the deck—perfect for morning coffee or evening breezes.

With 2.6 private acres, there’s plenty of space for outdoor activities, quiet reflection, or launching a kayak right from your own shoreline. This is one of the few properties in Wilson offering direct lake access on such a large private lot—at an affordable price.

We loved our stay at the lake front cottage in Wilson. The cottage was extremely clean, which we sincerely appreciated. Check in process was smooth, and the Hosts were very friendly and quick to respond to texts. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you Paul and Erin.
Very clean, well air conditioned, and quite bug-free for a lake front property. Beds were firm and comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped and the views were amazing. We hope to return.
We were amazed from the time we arrived. The property was clean and well kept. It’s located between two small towns only 5 minutes in each direction. Be prepared for the amazing sunsets.
The location is perfect. Very private and directly on Lake Ontario. Plenty of room if you bring your boat to park it on the driveway. We will definitely stay again!
A great place to relax with friends and to watch sunsets
Paul and Erin are great hosts. Very responsive and friendly. Several times in the past few years, my friends from around the US and I have returned to our home town (Lockport) to renew friendships. By far, this is our best place to get together and share our experiences. We are already planning to stay with Paul and Erin on our next trip.
We stayed a week and the location was fantastic. Very quiet and the sunsets were spectacular. The house appears recently renovated and was very comfortable. We stay in the area every 8 weeks or so and look forward to visiting again.
This property has a gorgeous view of lake Ontario. A great place to sit outside and read a book. We took a short drive to Niagra falls and spent the day. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked. Linens and paper products were provided. There was a pedal boat to use on the pond for fishing. Overall a great place to stay and we would definitely return.
By far the best people I’ve ever rented from very attentive. The house is immaculate, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Looking forward to renting it again real soon. Thank you!!!
We loved the view and the house so much we never wanted to leave and in fact we changed plans for an outing to get more time to just sit on the lawn and read and relax! It was peaceful and a perfect amount of togetherness and solitude. The wildlife was a joy too. Bunnies, beavers, toads, geese, racoons and fireflies! We will be back.
A cozy cottage with a beautiful view. It met all of our needs and expectations. It's easy to get to, amd and within a reasonable drive from the falls, great restaurants, and good fishing. We had a wonderful satay, and we'll be back in the future.
I can’t say enough about our stay at this property… exceptional views, very clean, well-stocked, & spacious despite its small footprint. Comfortably fit my family of five for a long weekend. Lake access was fun & pond on the property made for fun fishing memories w/ the kids. Short drive to Canada made it the perfect spot to stay for us. 10/10, would definitely stay again!!
What a nice dog friendly place directly overlooking the Lake Ontario shores. Very comfy house with large living room and additional large outdoor patio. The two bedrooms are perfect for a family and the beds were very comfortable.
Paul the owner was great and checked on us because we arrived late.
Highly recommend this place and if we come back to the area we would definitely return here.
This was the perfect place for our stay when we visited family!!! Centrally located to Wilson, Olcott and Barker!!! I love this cottage. It is ideal for 2 adults. It is sparkling clean, with a nice kitchen and bathroom. The Master bedroom is ideal and the bed is very comfortable. THE VIEWS: the views are what gives this cottage it's BIG Heart. You can't get any closer to the lake and the sound of waves on the shore than this!!! Based upon availability, this will be the only place we stay. 10/10. Thank you so much for such a nice place to stay.
We had a great stay in Wilson. We loved the pond in the front and lake in the back! My husband and kids caught plenty of fish. I enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfy. Looked better than the pictures. It is a buggy area being so close to the lake but not sure what can really be done about that, and the bathroom is pretty tight space. But overall we would come back:) Niagara Falls was about a 40 min drive away. Lots of yummy local restaurants around!
Beautiful view of the lake right out the glass living room doors to the patio! The kitchen had all I would need to cook with: plenty of pots and pans, mixing bowls, other tools, baking sheets, foil, dishes, cups, spices, oil (and dish soap). The hosts thoughtfully provided space heaters since the evenings were in the 30s in early April. Other small thoughtful touches contributed to the comfort of the stay. The living room felt spacious for 2 and the property was clean and neat. The water tasted different than home, of course, but I have no complaints. Before the trip, I had some questions that the host helpfully answered.
Although there's no path across the front lawn from the driveway to the front porch, it is well-lit at night, with floodlights triggered by sensors.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Lake Ontario cottage! The cottage was clean, well stocked with supplies, and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable, and the views of the lake were simply breathtaking! Each evening, we enjoyed fishing in the pond, watching the stunning sunsets, and having bonfires.
Paul, our host, was wonderful. He was responsive, helpful, and friendly, showing genuine care for the property and ensuring we had a great stay. The cottage and grounds were well-maintained, and we loved using the paddle boat on the pond.
Inside, the cottage is cozy and charming. The main bedroom was spacious with a very comfortable bed. The second bedroom, though small, was perfect for our kids. The kitchen was well stocked; we only needed to bring food! Adding a blender could be a helpful addition—we missed having one for milkshakes.
The main living area was spacious with excellent lake views. We were treated to amazing sunsets and enjoyed spotting wildlife like Canadian geese, rabbits, and bald eagles. On warm days, the living room could get hot, but we appreciated the cool breezes from the lake.
In terms of location, the cottage is situated about a 30-45 minute drive from Niagara Falls, making it a great retreat away from the tourist hustle. The nearest Walmart with groceries was about 40 min away! We loved the peace and quiet the cottage location provided.
