The cottage is literally on the lake shore, so it's nice to get up in the morning and see what the state of the ever-changing Lake Ontario is! The house is clean, well-equipped, comfortable, good wi-fi, ample cooking utensils, and a handy set of extra-strong binoculars in case you want to try to read the name of that giant ship crossing the lake! We used it as a base to visit all around western NY and to bike at various places along the Erie Canal, just 20 miles away. Cider works/wineries are in the area, plus we scored the Celtic Heritage Festival in Lockport, courtesy of the heavy Irish presence in western NY. Many thanks to our hosts who were always available but never intrusive for giving us a lovely comfortable week!
