Carol was a wonderful host. She met me at the Cottage as she likes to meet all renters, plus to answer any questions I might have as to the cottage. She made sure that the cottage was open and ready for my staff. She had left a bottle of wine and a dozen farm fresh eggs. The interior of the cottage is exactly as the pictures, along with the outside. The location was perfect for a week long vacation (could not have asked for better weather). Carol provided helpful information as to local restaurants and placed that I might want to visit. Overall, I would highly recommend the Sunset Cottage on Pillar Point for your next vacation. You WILL NOT be disapppointed.

This is a fantastic spot to listen to the waves and enjoy the summer breeze off the lake, really everything we had hoped for, a charming lake house on the water, with stellar views over the lake in a beautiful quiet spot. We loved our stay, enjoyed swimming, kayaking in the provided boats and cooking in the equiped kitchen.

Sitting on the edge of the mighty Lake Ontario, the cottage surpassed our expectations. It's both very beautiful and comfortable, making the most of the space without making us feel crowded. The furniture is solid and capacious. The beds in particular left us refreshed, which, in a world of worn out, rock hard, or warped mattresses, is really saying something. Kayaks and inner tubes, along with life vests, are on hand. Flowers line the cottage and attract butterflies. The fridge came filled with basic essentials and fresh eggs. All in all, Carol anticipates renters' needs down to the fine details and made us feel warmly welcome. We can't wait to return!

Spent a few days at Pillar Point cottage with my wife. The place was perfect! Beautiful cottage inside and out. Couldn’t get any closer to the lake. Private deck for cooking and relaxing. Picnic table to sit at and enjoy beautiful sunsets. The hosts were very nice and a pleasure to talk to. They were very informative. Giving us alternate places to launch our boat in the area. Also a good location. Close to many attractions and very good dining. Two 👍👍! Thank you for your hospitality …. ✌️

Anniversary Weekend

Our stay at this charming cottage was so memorable! This is the place to go to experience a peaceful, quiet and relaxing stay. The cottage sits right by the lake and includes two kayaks, Adirondack chairs, a fire pit and boasts a spectacular view of Lake Ontario and such beautiful sunsets! 🌅 You can clearly see the stars too on a clear night ✨ The hosts were very welcoming and even provided some food like oatmeal and eggs. The cottage also has everything you need to cook or grill outside. We will be coming back for sure! Let this be your sign to book!!

Escape to the Lake

There is nothing like my yearly trip to Pillar Point with the beauty and serenity of Lake Ontario. Having my own cottage this summer down the road from family made it an excellent vacation. This location was perfect for its proximity to Windmill Acres as we were attending my niece’s wedding during our stay. If you like to cook at home, the kitchen had everything I needed. Thank Carol for being an excellent host!

Relaxing and Beautiful

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this beautiful rental. It is a perfect location right on the water. The hosts provide all the amenities you need and were very thoughtful to provide a bottle of wine and cheese upon arrival. And, eggs and yogurt for breakfast along with a snacks, peanut butter, oatmeal, coffee and creamer, etc. I have stayed in several VRBO rentals over the years; this is the first that supplied so many extras for their guests. I highly recommend this cozy rental. (Oh, and the gorgeous sunsets.... just beautiful.). Perfect place to unwind.

The best little cottage on the lake!!

We greatly enjoyed our stay! Carol was very accommodating, had everything we needed ready for us. The cottage is beautiful, the view cannot be beat, full view of the lake right from the living room and the bedroom. The cottage is fully stocked with everything one might need, including coffee, water and local teas, tons of towels, extra blankets and bedding, s'more supplies and fire starting kit. The area is beautiful and quiet, lots of deer, bunnies and ducks for little ones to see. We went kayaking early in the morning as well (kayaks are provided). Will recommend this place to all of our friends and family!!

The cottage was charming and comfortable. A gorgeous, serene location. We enjoyed a quiet, peaceful getaway for our anniversary-- exactly what we were looking for. Carol and Pete were fantastic hosts, helpful, welcoming and unobtrusive. The sunsets were stunning. We had fun riding the bikes (provided by hosts) along the lakeshore. If you are looking for a fun, quiet place to de-stress, this is perfect. Highly recommended!
