About this property

Spacious and Serene Lake Front Home Away From Home

Welcome new friends to my piece of serenity on majestic Sodus Bay, NY.
Last year I visited some friends on the bay and instantly fell in love with this area.
I had been looking for the perfect place that I could turn my dream of owning a lake house into a reality and quickly realized this was the perfect place. I love it so much that I would like to share this dream with others. I just know that as soon as you walk into this lake home retreat you will instantly fall in love with all it has to offer just like I did.

Kick off your shoes, unwind and and let the serenity of Sodus Bay take you away from the stresses of every day life AND JUST RELAX.

This four bedroom, two bathroom lake front home has tons of space for multiple families to enjoy together but cozy enough for a romantic getaway or intimate family vacation. There is a large eat-in kitchen fully equipped with everything you need and enough seating to fit 12 comfortably. The kitchen also includes a coffee station and is open to the living room with TV overlooking the deck and beautiful views of Sodus bay. Downstairs is a large game room with pool table, foosball table as well as board games and art supples to keep both the kids and grown ups entertained. This area can be closed off to the upstairs area for peace and quiet if needed. The 2nd bathroom and 4th bedroom is also downstairs with its own entrance to a private deck and the front lawn overlooking the bay. It includes a daybed with trundle, sitting area with pull out sofa, fireplace and large walk in cedar closet.

When you step outside you will be welcomed by the tranquil views of the bay that are breathtaking. There are endless places to take in the views from multiple levels. You can sunbathe, dine together, BBQ, play outdoor games or just find a space to relax on your own. From the upper living space you walk out onto the deck and from downstairs is another deck and patio. You can relax on the adirondack chairs on the grassy lawn or meander down the winding stairs that take you down to the expansive roof top terrace. Then there is another set of stairs again that take you down to the waters edge where you can fish right off the dock, swim and pull up your boats to the 2 boat hoists that are included. There is also 2 kayaks, water toys and fishing poles and nets available. Not to mention fire pits and a BBQ.
This house sits on a quiet no through road that means its very peaceful and has plenty of off street parking. It also is a 10 minute drive to the quaint village of Sodus point where you will find restaurants, museums, light house, a beach, diners and bars that have plenty of entertainment in the summer.
By boat you have many options to pull up and eat around the bay and also enjoy whatever water sports you fancy. If you don't have your own boat you can easily rent one from one of the marinas near by.
Being an Aussie I have never had the privilege of seeing the beauty that ice fishing brings to a frozen lake. I have discovered that this area not only has bought me so much joy in the warmer weather but also the fall and winter months. Every season brings its own magic and new things to discover.
The home is fully furbished with all the amenities you need including Fresh towels, beach towels and sheets. The only thing you need to bring with you is your food and clothes.
So from this lake home there should never be a dull moment...unless of course that is what you are looking for. You can fish, icefish, boat, kayak, paddle board, jet ski, swim, mountain bike, snow mobile, hike, run and much, much more. It is 45 minutes from Rochester and a little under an hour to Syracuse, not to mention all the wineries that upstate New York and the Finger Lakes have to offer. And it is also under 2 hours to Niagara Falls and the Canadian border.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing my special place with you.

Girls weekend

We had such a great time celebrating our friends 60th birthday. The house was spectacular and the views amazing. Lots of great wineries in the area. The owner Sally was easy to contact and accessible whenever you had a question. I would highly recommend booking your next vacation at Sally’s place.

Second stay

We loved this house so much when we came in 2021 that my daughter wanted to come back again. Our stay was just as wonderful this time. The location is perfect, the view is beautiful, the house has plenty of room and there’s so much to do there in the water and inside. Such a great owner too. We’ll be back again.

Wonderful vacation stay

My biggest complaint is that we only stayed 4 nights! I would have loved to spend one week or two to fully enjoy this beautiful property. That said, everything was so nice at this property. So much space for all of us to spread out. (3 couples plus one adult) we loved hanging out on the deck when it wasn’t raining! One note to others, big outdoor staircase to get down to house, and a long hilly walk outdoors to dock area. The furnishings are lovely and so comfy! Sally was easy to communicate with. Would love to stay again!

Beautiful spot on the Bay

Wonderful location. Quiet street. What a view of the Water! We enjoyed 3 nights during the PGA Championship. Owner was a real Joy to work with. We could tell that she enjoys sharing her property with her guests. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, awesome deck and views. What more could we ask for! Loved it.

Wonderful week of relaxation and fun.

Wonderful week of relaxation and fun with our kids and grandkids. Plenty of room in the basement area for the younger adults and their children to stay. We rented a small boat for a few days and it was a big hit. A great time was had by all. Sally , out host was in contact with me the week prior to our vacation just to make sure we didn’t have any questions……I felt that was a very nice gesture.

Need a new housekeeper. There was coffee left in coffee pot. Floors dirty. When we walked around our feet were black. Found multiple screws in driveway. Guessing from contractor. Needs better air conditioning. Owner did reply promptly and had supplies delivered. Great views.

Sally was great to work with! She was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is amazing. We had a girls weekend with my daughters. The views are breath taking from the back. The swans were all out today. Enjoyed beautiful sunrises! The furniture was comfortable and there is plenty of room to spread out if needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

First Time at Sodus Bay

This was the first time for our family at Sodus Bay and everything met our expectations. The house was neat and well decorated, exactly as advertised and had all the amenities that we needed for two adults and six teenagers. The kids enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks and fishing off the dock during the day and shooting pool and playing board games in the lower level during the evenings. This was perfect as it allowed the adults some quiet time on the deck with an adult beverage. Everything you need for day to day is very close but if you do venture out the vineyards around the northern end of Seneca Lake are only about 45 minutes away and Niagara Falls was two hours making for a fun day trip. Add in the golf course 5 minutes from the house and we had all we could need. The property owner was very responsive and kind and kept us up to date and checked in on us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.

Serene

Great house. Plenty of space for a large group. Basement is amazing, lots of room and stuff to do. Beds very comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Beautiful views of the bay and plenty of shade in yard on hot days. Lots of parking available. Beautifully decorated with unique and interesting items throughout house. Big fridge. Plenty of dining space to accommodate large group. Host is extremely accessible and attentive. Great location to restaurants, farm stands, grocery store, and parks to hike in. Close to marinas to rent boats.. we felt at home as soon as we walked in. Bright and gorgeous living room. Great deck to sit outside and enjoy morning coffee or evening air. Very comfortable deck furniture. Would highly recommend house and host to everyone. Very peaceful and serene house. Never got tired of finding new and cool items throughout house. Paddle boards and kayaks were awesome. Plenty of towels. Absolutely, every detail is thought of by host. Left us a basket with s’more products, wine and a candle. Very thoughtful. One of our best VRBO experiences to date!

Nice house. Beautiful view.

We had a nice 5 day stay with 2 adults and 3 children. The setting was beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing over the lake and taking in the scenery. The house was nice and as advertised. Host was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards. Each upstairs bedroom had AC which was nice. Basement bedroom did not which made it a bit hot for sleeping some evenings. Dock and area around the water could use updating. Would recommend this house for folks looking to stay on Sodus Bay.

Lovely house, great host!

The house is clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated - and Sally is a super-responsive and welcoming host. The view from the deck is beautiful and peaceful! The pool table downstairs was very popular with the teenagers in our group, as was the spike ball set! It was great to have use of the kayaks and I rented paddle boards. We enjoyed the farmers markets and farm stands, and the large field across from the house was great for soccer and even cricket! On some of the hottest days, we felt the lack of central AC, but two of the bedrooms had window ACs. All in all, we had a lovely holiday at Sally's house!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi, I was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Australia in the mountains where my parents still live and run the angus beef farm. In my 20s I travelled the world and worked in the uk before I settled in Rochester NY 21 years ago. I have two children that were born and raised here .

Why they chose this property

I instantly fell in love with the Sodus Bay area on my first time up there. When you drive into the house for the first time you will see why. The trees, and the water and the overall view. I have always wanted to own a house on water but growing up in the mountains I love being able to look across the lake at the rolling hills and homes on the other side. I love the accessibility by boat to all the bars and restaurants and everyone's laid back attitudes.

What makes this property unique

The house has an amazing view year round and plenty of space both indoors and outdoors to cater for a bunch of people. It offers many different spots to enjoy the view- the deck off the kitchen, lower deck, the adirondack chairs on the lawn, the terrace-my favourite spot with a fire pit and right down by the water next to the dock.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
