Perfect Location - Perfect Property- Perfect Home
The first thing you notice is that the host has taken the time to ensure a perfect stay. There is plenty of everything. Each bedroom has a large flat screen TV with numerous cable channel options. The property gently slopes down to the water. The dock is wonderful and can support a large boat. There are numerous towels, sheets, cups, glasses, and cooking equipment. The windowed room facing the water is amazing. Lots of toys such as kayaks are there for your use. Just a great experience.

The Perfect Family Destination
Our one week stay at Fox Point was exactly what our family needed! From the moment you arrive you are welcomed by a beautiful home with incredible views of the bay. There was plenty of room for our grandchildren to play inside and out. Best of all, Abby and Brandon were so helpful and available if we had any questions! If I could give a rating of 10 I would! Thank you for a memorable stay!

The best family lake house
Brandon & Abby’s home was an absolute 10/10. They have all of the games you can imagine, amenities were above and beyond and the private beach was an added bonus! They thought of it all! We could have packed 1/4 of the stuff we brought because they already had everything there. The kids loved movie night in the downstairs basement with amazing reclining chairs, just like the theater! We cannot wait to go back! They are also very responsive and always checking in to make sure we felt comfortable and ensure we had everything.we needed. Thank you both!!

Fox Point- a hidden piece of heaven!
Many decades ago, I spotted this piece of property at Fox Point in Fair Haven Bay. Beautiful white house atop a hill with a little cove for swimming, but never saw people there. Well Brandon and Abby Weaver have put their magic touch on the property and it is a piece of heaven! It is our second time renting from them! . This house had plenty of room for our family - 6 bedrooms. The yard is huge and offers areas for soccer, baseball, corn hole and cricket. There are two outside seating areas , one a patio area off the house; the other down by the dock and ready to light a fire pit area in the evening. A floating dock off the main dock provided hours of swimming and games for our teenage grandchildren. Dock was long enough for us to tie up a pontoon boat. Visits from cousins with young children enjoyed wading in from the sandy beach. The inside offered a scenic living room with all 14 being able to sit and watch the Olympics. The house is tastefully decorated,offering quaint corners to read. The basement afforded entertainment with movie seating and a ping pong table. Location is great- morning jogs to the State Park and evening strolls into town for ice cream and dinner.Kitchen and coffee bar are well equipped. Fishing off the dock was plentiful. Thank you Abby and Brandon for providing so much to making our family vacations memorable. We are excited to return for our week “ in Fox Point heaven” for years to come ! Bill and Missy Mercier

Another Amazing Stay
We left a glowing review after our stay here in 2023. This property has everything we could have hoped for as a family of 11 active people. The owners did not settle and made some huge upgrades over the past year. Finishing the basement for the ultimate hang-out room with a big screen TV, recliners, and ping pong table. The new floating dock was a huge hit. Paving the driveway was also another addition. They are also super responsive to any questions or issues. Great hosts!! We will definitely be back for many years to come!

Best Vacation Stay Ever!!
What is there not to say about Fox Point Retreat! The view of the bay is unmatched directly across from Colloca Winery. The yard is big with a gorgeous sandy beach and dock. The house is stocked with every amenity you can think of. They have kayaks, games, sand toys, fishing poles, ping pong table, and a theater in the basement. The porch overlooking the bay in stocked with books, toys, games, and crafts. Our large extended family stayed for the July 4th week and had an amazing time. Fair Haven had a ton of activities for the 4th. I highly recommend renting here.

Every imaginable contingency has been covered, and Abby and Brandon responded immediately to the small issues that arose during our week long stay. Just a perfect spot for a family get-together. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to relax and reconnect.

A little piece of heaven all to yourselves. We didn’t leave the premises because it was so beautiful and we enjoyed every minute there. Host was super nice and very responsive.

The perfect family get away!
Staying at Fox Point was truly a dream for our family get-away during the solar eclipse. My husband and I, along with our family, got the chance to enjoy each others' company for an extended long weekend during the solar eclipse in this beautiful home. The large family room was perfect for games and puzzles, relaxing, reading, and just spending time with one another. We loved having the big dining room table that we could all eat around, a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals in, and the fire pit by the lake for chilly evenings. Abby and Brandon were so accommodating, even stopping by to fix a smoke alarm that needed a battery replacement, and were responsive to our needs. They left us snacks and sodas for the kids, a full coffee bar, and even solar eclipse glasses! We loved having the dock and bay nearby, as my husband brought his RC boat and plane to entertain our niece and nephew. Abby also gave us lots of hiking recommendations nearby, and we enjoyed hikes as a family at Chimney Bluffs and Sterling Nature Center at her suggestion. We also enjoyed Lunkenheimer Craft Brewing, a suggestion of Brandon's! We loved having all the sleeping spaces, a lovely clean home, and the amenities to boot. We hope to return someday!!!

The Best
We were in for a wedding , but that was secondary to the primary reason of having my 4 kids with my 3 grandkids being together for the first time. No one lives in the area, so logistics of airport pick ups and driving in from all over the east coast was a juggling act. Having such a ready, comfortable , easy , sweet looking place , was huge in our happy , successful weekend. We had everything you need, to a great coffee station , to a well stocked kitchen and gifts for a warm greeting.,,,,the owners were terrific ! I could go on and on but the one word I have for the house, Wonderful! Thanks Again

The Perfect Getaway Spot
This beautiful spacious home was a perfect spot or our friends retreat. With six beautifully decorated bedrooms we each had our our space. The huge dining room table easily seats 10 people and three bathrooms is definitely a plus with a large group. The massive living room / great room had tons of comfortable seating, but its best feature was the panoramic view of Sodus Bay. Perhaps my favorite spot inside is the small enclosed porch/sun room on the second floor overlooking the lake- a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of tea and take in the scenery. Of course the big private yard with dock, firepits and its private beach made enjoying the view so much more pleasurable. Abby and Brandon were wonderful hosts. Abby always responded right away to any request and was super accommodating. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable in their beautiful home. We can't wait to come back!

What an amazing property! Our family of four generations - aging from 5 to 92 - enjoyed this home so much during our stay. There's SO much space - inside and out - and the house was stocked with everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the small private beach with the kids, renting a pontoon boat, learning how to kayak, roasting marshmallows by the fire, and spending quality time as a family.

Incredible house and hosts! This has to be one of the best places to stay in Fair Haven. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and he house and yard entertained our group of 11 to the fullest. Incredible views of the lake from the house and yard, plenty of space in the yard for football, basketball, cornhole, reading and lounging. The spacious property is very private and feels like your own resort! A little beach area for the young ones and several different kayaks/boats for adventures out in the lake. Large dock that fit both our boat and wave runner with room for more. Every room had a TV and air conditioning, large dining table, and the large room with views of the lake is the ultimate chill area. This house was stocked with everything we needed. We couldn’t recommend this house more and there wasn’t a thing missing. If you want the best Lake experience come to Fair Haven and stay here, you won’t regret it!
