Stonewall cottage

A secluded house nestled away from the public, this house is close to everything, but has the feel that the world is a mile away. Sit on the porch and watch the deer walking their trail , or listen to the creek babble in the distance. A mile north of the house is Lake Ontario with a large park and miles of trails, fishing pier and a boat launch nearby. Two miles to the south you will find another park with a walking trail, fishing and the expressway leading to Rochester or wine trails. The famous Wegman's Grocery Store and Webster shopping plaza is located right next to the expressway. The stone walls on this cottage are the original walls of an old barn which my Grandmother incorporated in building her home. At night it has been known to hear her rustling about in the kitchen. Have no fear !! Grandma is very loving and welcoming to all visitors !

Loved our stay
Stonewall Cottage was just as advertised. It was so beautiful with the stone walls and all the antiques. Everything was perfect for us. We stayed with our two dogs and the yard was perfect for walking them. The cottage is close to the lake and Webster's park with hiking trails that we enjoyed with our dogs.

Sweet, cozy and comfy
It was the perfect location for a quiet family weekend trip. Stonewall Cottage is beautifully appointed, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Then there are all these awesome extras, like feeding the neighborhood deer, and the campfire that was ready to go for our use. Thumbs up from us!

We had a very pleasant stay
The cottage was very charming. Loved the antiques and all the tributes to Wendy’s grandmother. Easy to get to shopping areas, restaurants and Lake Ontario We did a lot of biking and enjoyed the proximity to the lake and the Erie Canal trail. We used the cottage as our hub for attending the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, and it was an easy 20 minute drive to the course Very unique opportunity to enjoy nature as we fed and enjoyed the deer and many varieties of birds and even had a coyote walk through the yard one morning

Beautiful home and property
Wendy and her sister (I apologize dont know first name) who met us at the home were very friendly and promply responded. We enjoyed our time and it was great location for us. We had 2 dogs with us who at first night didn't appreciate the deer that come so close but came to live in peace after the first full day and didn't bark too much at them which was great. Cute place more than enough room for others. Looked upstairs but didnt utilize it but is also nice piece of property. Love the family history. Highly recommend if looking for country setting close to many things. Thanks for hosting us!!

Christmas in Webster, NY
Last year, we missed out on reserving Stonewall Cottage for our holiday trip to upstate NY. I was determined to keep that from happening again and so very glad I succeeded. Stonewall Cottage is a beautifully quaint place where you can simultaneously be by yourself yet among others. The outside photos in the listing gave me the feeling that it is quite a distance to the neighboring homes but it is not. Yet, we were snug as can be in what feels remote, quiet and away from everything. Wendy does all that is possible to make you feel welcome and at home including decorating for the holiday which we absolutely loved. You step back in time a bit with the antique furnishings which we also loved. The kitchen table is a work of art and history. She has thought of pretty much everything in terms of what she provides for your stay. Unlike other half-empty vacation places where they provide only the bare (and I mean bare) minimum for your comfort, Wendy does the opposite. From the refrigerator staples of eggs, milk and bread to the extra blankets in the living room, plenty of towels, toiletries, and thoughtful holiday treats that she provided, we felt special and at ease. There were even dog bowls for our puppies. It is an older structure but we had no problem achieving comfortable temperatures day or night. We prefer colder temps at night but during the day it was easy to heat the place - and we were there at a bitter cold point of December during the big blizzard just to the west in Buffalo. Wendy's communication is timely. She is easy to reach and attentive. One thing I would change would be access to outlets. In this day of high tech, most people need to charge a handful of electronics on a daily basis and we had to be creative in order be able to charge all of our devices. Other than that, Stonewall Cottage is for anyone who loves feeling cosy and well provided for. Thank you Wendy! We will definitely book this gem of a place again.

Stonewall cabin stay
Was a nice rustic place with a lot of character. The location was great for proximity to my family in the area. I enjoyed my stay there and loved the area and the surroundings. It wasn’t the best place for a longer term stay as it didn’t have laundry and I spent a bunch of time daily having to hand wash dishes as well (in hindsight I should have paid more attention to the list of amenities). There was a disconnect between the owner and myself regarding the pets that I brought with me due to the way the transaction between us occurred, but was still acceptable within the policies she had for the stay. We resolved it between us in the first day, but definitely didn't feel like she let it go. I was very disappointed on how this visit ended as she dropped a surprise damage fee on me that was unwarranted in my opinion and a complete over-reaction / money grab on her part. Bottom line I took great care of her house like it was my own, and left it in outstanding condition upon my departure.

Hidden Cottage near the City
Close to magic, the cottage evokes old, charming, blended into nature to the extent that wildlife - birds, deer, chipmunks - are comfortable coming near the front porch, which itself is a pleasant place to spend time surrounded by forest. Yet major stores are a very short drive as is Webster Park and the Lake Ontario shore. The City is a bit further, but not far at all. If the latest appliances, granite countertops, rain shower or jacuzzi, etc. are important to you, this is not the place to stay. The kitchen is equipped with the tools you''ll to cook meals, but there isn't a lot of counterspace. The second bedroom, a loft, is a bit difficult to navigate as the ceiling is low and space tight, but I managed and slept very well. The master bedroom is like a suite, the bathroom a walk-through from the living area to the master bedroom. That said, the walls are stone walls erected in the mid-1800's, the house built with wood cut from timber - I doubt there's plywood or veneer used at all. The cottage itself could be the destination, and we spent more time there than we'd planned because it was relaxing, quiet - except for bullfrogs at night, birds during the day and the road it's off of can be a bit noisy at times, and close to everything while feeling far from it all.. And Wendy, the host, was welcoming, accessible and accommodating.

Cozy Get-a-Way
Rent Stonewall Cottage and you will find yourself in a secluded piece of nature and history. Wake up each morning greeted by deer, chipmunks, squirrels and birds of all sizes and colors. Enjoy morning coffee on the covered porch or around the fire pit on the surrounding acreage. The rustic interior is both cozy and roomy. When ready to explore the area, Lake Ontario and 800 acre Webster Park are just down the road. The cottage is very near grocery, shopping, restaurants, farmers’ market and Hwy 104, a main corridor to all parts near and far. Wendy is friendly and helpful, a perfect host. We highly recommend Stonewall Cottage as a unique holiday get-a-way.

Rustic but charming
Loved the property, feeding the deer, relaxing on the front porch, and the overall charm. I think no AC would be an issue in the summer. The only other suggestion would be to replace the bed in the master. Barely big enough for two and not comfortable. With that being said, I would still stay again simply for how peaceful and relaxed I felt here! And Wendy is a great host and communicates quickly!!

Absolutely stunning cottage nestled in Webster. Very close to Webster park and Lake Ontario which was perfect for our dog. The village was near by which is very nice and has plenty of places to eat. The host is amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. By far the best VRBO stay we’ve had. We will surely be back!

5-Stars is Not Enough
We enjoyed our time at the Stonewall Cottage and back in nature. We were visited daily by a large group of deer. One day as our daughter practiced her viola, 10 deer stopped by for the free show! Nestled away from the road and backing up against the woods, this unique home was very quiet, cozy, and peaceful. Wendy had a fire blazing in the wood pellet stove when we arrived, and a second gas fireplace in the master suite really warmed up the cold December days. The entire home was decorated with lights and even a Christmas Tree for our Holiday stay. There were 2 swings hanging from old trees that were used daily. Unfortunately, we never took the time to light the bonfire that was built for us back by the woods. The cottage was minutes from Lake Ontario and Wegmans Supermarket, as well as plenty of stores for our every need. Wendy even provided coffee, bread, milk, eggs, butter, fruit, a stocked pantry, and even a bottle of red wine…thanks, Wendy, for thinking of everything! We did day trips to Rochester (about 20 minutes away), and we even drove to Niagra Falls (1 hour and 30 min away). If we could, we would give 10 stars! If we ever return to Rochester, we would LOVE to stay here again!

The perfect cottage
The stone wall cottage was amazing! The atmosphere of the cottage, the cleanliness, the wildlife, and the family history makes the cottage feel so cozy and relaxing. It was so quiet and peaceful, we absolutely LOVED the cottage. Wendy has kept the feeling of “family” in the cottage to such a standard that it makes you feel like you are visiting your own grandma. There wasn’t a single thing that she didn’t provide, or was willing to provide. This is a place that we will definitely want to stay at again when we are back visiting family. If we could give it 20 stars we would. Thank you to Wendy and co-host Susan for being so accommodating and basically just plan amazing people.

Amazing and delightful moment.
The house is little heaven surrounded by singing birds and spectacular wild nature. The house is cozy with many family memories, the beginning of our nation. It is very pleasant with stone fireplace and dishes reminding us the old times. Even the dinging table is unique with a reminder from the the past. The host is very polite and helpful. A spectacular place, clean with everything of need.
