Lakehouse at Pillar Point on Lake Ontario, a relaxing home with stunning sunsets

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. 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.

The property is very well maintained. Enjoyed the big windows to enjoy God's magnificent creation. The weather was chilly and rainy, so we couldn't spend much time outdoors, but sure did sit by the windows alot. Sunsets and full moon over the water was just beautiful. We drove up to see the Boldt castle and spent a day in that area. We would come back in an instant if it was closer. Sure glad it was available when we needed it. Price was right.

Absolutely wonderful- already planning our next trip. The house is perfect size for us- my husband, me, and two young adult children. Easy to find, easy to enter. We didn’t have our dogs but it is dog friendly. It’s so comfortable, the views were breathtaking. We saw a comet and several shooting stars at night. 20 min or so drive to fort drum.

Lakehouse getaway
This beautiful, very clean and comfortable home provided the getaway we had hoped for. From the kitchen to the living quarters, we had everything needed for the comforts of home. The lakefront deck was so relaxing for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The shore road is a great, safe, route for walking and bicycling. We will definitely return. Heather is a message away for any needs. We had none! Thank-you, Heather!

We had a wonderful stay! I can’t think of a thing that house did not have. It was the cleanest vacation rental we have ever stayed in! Any questions we had were quickly answered by the host. The views were amazing. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Wish I would have booked us a longer stay!

Excellent quiet retreat
Location is 5 stars for view and neighborhood. Four stars is just a heads up that the big stores are a little farther than you might be used to, and as the host says, there can be a lot of deer to avoid. Everything else is ideal. The kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed, and she has anticipated nearly every need.

A Hidden Gem
Lakehouse at Pillar Post is a property that is well loved. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage we rented was adorable and very well maintained providing incredible views of Lake Ontario from several windows and the deck. It’s a perfect place to kick back and relax. There are several state parks nearby—for hiking, fishing (world class), and swimming. The owners thought of everything. They were quick to respond to any questions we had. We give Lakehouse at Pillar Point our highest recommendation.

We had an amazing 4-night stay at the lake house. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. The host provided a lot of tips to make our stay even more enjoyable. The surrounding area is very peaceful and quiet. There were no cars passing by so we were completely immersed in the sounds of nature. Location was perfect for our trip to the Thousand Islands area and we would recommend this lake house to anyone.

Off by itself, very quiet and a beautiful view as well as a beautiful home. Didnt test the smaller room but main room mattress was a good mattress, much appreciated. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. Just a heads up, the water is a little odd flavored but bring a few bottled waters instead of drinking from the sink if you have a problem with that. Has pictures of what appears to be a real good boy in the living room so be prepared to smile. Nice deck and plenty of room to stretch out.

Eclipse trip.
The lake house was very clean, quiet and relaxing. My wife, myself, my daughter and her husband drove up from Pennsylvania to see the eclipse. The rear deck was our favorite spot since the view is amazing. The westerly view made for some spectacular sunsets. The house is well equipped with whatever you need. The host was friendly, helpful and responded to my texts in a timely manner, almost immediately. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants a place off the beaten path with a great view.

New Years Eve stay
I’ve never walked in to a VRBO and had my expectations of the view and home exceed what I thought. Great thought into many details. Bed and pillows so comfortable. Loved the open concept and being able to see the lake. We had an issue with the water pump but Heather did everything she could to resolve quickly. Would have loved to complete our stay but the water issue could not be resolved. Not the hosts fault. It was out of their control. All that said we plan to be back. Great host, very thoughtful and responsive.

The owner has gone out of her way to provide a well-equipped house, and the deck overlooking the lake is a perfect place to relax. As another reviewer mentioned, it is a bit remote. That makes for a quiet neighborhood, and good bird-watching. However, there are often deer on the road at night.
