Lake Ontario Cottage Rental

Amenities - Rates - Contact us - Rental Policy                                   

    Sandy Pond, a harbor to Lake Ontario, is 2 miles wide by 5 miles long, covers 2,403 acres and is up to 17 feet deep.  The channel to Lake Ontario is a 2-minute boat ride from the cottage.  There are boat launches at the five marinas on Sandy Pond, as well as on Salmon River, Little Salmon River and Lakeview Marsh.

    The cottage property has 100 feet of shoreline on Sandy Pond and a 40-foot dock in front reserved exclusively for you.  The dock easily accommodates two Lake Ontario size boats and is fun to sit on, fish from, or sunbathe on. 

     The cottage is located in a private setting with views of Sandy Pond and the channel to Lake Ontario.  There is plenty of room in the yard for the kids to play and for the adults to sit and relax in privacy.  There is ample parking for two vehicles and two boat trailers.  The cottage is situated 150 feet from the road and 60 feet from  Sandy Pond’s waters edge.  Chipman Lane, a private country road, is maintained regularly and has minimal traffic.  Most days there are more golf carts and kids on bikes than there are cars.  The road winds between Sandy Pond and the golf course and is a very pleasant walk.

    Sandy Pond evenings are especially beautiful.  The pond comes alive with breaking fish looking for dinner and honking geese and quacking ducks scaling in to rest.  Frequently a Great Blue Heron flies into Sandy Pond to fish for an evening meal. View sunsets and enjoy campfires  on the waters edge while sitting in the Adirondack chairs.  Marshmallow roasting is optional.

 Reserve this cottage early for the best vacation dates!
