Fun times at Port Bay
We had a blast. The grandkids enjoyed fishing off the docks, and kayaking in the bay. We visited the beaches at Fairhaven, Sodus Point and Port Bay. We loved the sunsets while having dinner around the firepit

Eclipse get away
The perfect weekend get away. The home is beautiful, cozy and clean. The host was super thoughtful and left personal touches related to our stay during the 2024 exlipse, including glases to watch the eclipse with. We spent our weekend hanging out on the dock fishing, watching the array of ducks, herons and swans swim in the inlet and enjoying a lakeside fire in the evening. The neighbors were incredibly friendly as well. Also a big perk, the home is centrally located to numerous great beaches and family destinations. Looking forward to our next stay here again!!

Family Vacation
We had such an incredible stay at Janelle's cottage. It is the perfect setting for a true family vacation. Port Bay is lovely and there is something for everyone. The Pontoon rental is fun convenient. The host coordinated and communicated everything perfectly. We have spent two summers here, and we will definitely be back again!

House on Port bay in Wolcott
House was very cute, and clean. BUT the furniture was not functional - i.e. the mattresses were worn out and terribly uncomfortable. The couch was a small wooden couch with hard uncomfortable cushions. The Large blue sofa wasnt in the house, it was in the basement game room. There was no place to sit together. There was sleep accommodations for 8, but only 4 plastic seats outside, and only 4 chairs in the dining room. I did not expect "new/fashionable" but I DO expect to have a comfortable couch and mattress. There were no fans available, and the rooms were stuffy. There was also no toilet paper stocked, which was a huge inconvenience, requiring a early morning store run. All in all, vacation should equal some comfort. Please get some better mattresses and comfortable furniture. And enough chairs for all people who come to stay.

Quiet and lovely get away
We loved being so close to the lake. We took full advantage of the pontoon boat and at least two of us were on the dock from sunrise to sunset fishing. We loved some of the close mom and pop type establishments too. Our stay was comfy and simple, felt country-like for us 'burb folk...no problems and perfect location for a few days to relax and unwind. Thank you, Janelle!

A nice getaway, yet close enough to home.
We had an enjoyable experience at the cottage. A few family members had other obligations during the week at home, therefore, the location was extremely convenient for travel. The kids enjoyed the game room. The cottage was fully equipped with all essentials. We rented the pontoon boat for our stay and really enjoyed the tubing and leisurely rides.

Amazing!
My family and I rented this house for our annual trip. There was 7 of us and it was awesome! The house was perfect for us. The beds were comfortable! The house had everything we could need. We rented the boat as well and had a blast puttering around the bay. There was a golf course right down the road! The owners were great at communicating with anything we needed! I would recommend this house to anyone. 10 out of 10.

Another great vacation in the books!
Every year my husband and I take the kids on a new vacation to a lake in New York and this year we landed in Wolcott. This cottage/location hit the spot. We rented the pontoon boat directly from the owner and it made our vacation that much more enjoyable. Being out on the bay was just incredible. We were able to do some fishing, sightseeing of the area, take beautiful photos of the wildlife and get some much needed relaxation. The cottage was very clean, with plenty of room for the 4 of us. The owner (Janelle) was very friendly and responsive. And the neighborhood was very quiet. Now this is a spot we will be returning to!!

We had a great time at the cottage! It’s very well stocked with everything you need and a few extra surprises like games for the kids! We loved our time on the beautiful pontoon and brought our kayaks for more time on the water! The owners were wonderful too and always responded quickly to all our questions. Great place for a relaxing long weekend! 😎

Wonderful Getaway!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this property and especially loved that it was right on the bay. We rented the pontoon boat, and it was absolutely worth it! We spent hours boating, tubing, fishing and swimming off of it. The owner was very communicative and helpful and responded promptly to all of our questions. We definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway.
