This was my third time staying. I love this property. Breathtaking sun rises and sunsets. Modern amenities. It is the perfect place to unwind and relax. The deck is awesome to sit and enjoy the view. My dog and i enjoyed swimming. I will return next year as it eill now become a tradition. I love it there.
House was very cozy & owners were great to work with ! Awesome morning sunrise’s.
Great house great views perfect for 6 adults this was our 8th trip to the region would recommend the property for future stays.
I just want to list out the facts here. Pros: great location,close to beach for sunset; easy access to lake; great for sunrise; charming house; have tons of cooking equipment; close to Niagara Falls and finger lakes. Cons: the house hasn’t been taken cared of carefully. generally not clean, smells, lots of bugs in the small bathroom and the sink is clogged. One bathroom door was accidentally locked and 7 of us had to share one tiny bathroom until the owner responded to us 11 hours later . Neighbor’s big dogs leashed free came to the front door and backyard deck. We were terrified since we don’t know them. One of them pooped right by the entrance, the owner did not proactively think a way to clean it up even though they seems lived minutes away from the house or knows the owner of the dog. At least do something. The backyard stairs to the lake wiggles a lot and very slippery. There is a safety concern. No access to washer and dryer which is not convenient.
We really enjoyed our time at Happy Trails. The view from the house and the deck was beautiful. We enjoyed being on the water although it should be noted that there are 50 steps to the water and the stairs are a quite uneven. The cottage was very comfortable and my family really liked it. We had a great time together and have decided that we would definitely go back.
This is our second trip to this beautiful home. We can not say enough about the views, location and the amenities. The interior design and all the little extras add up to such a special experience. Plus being able to bring our dog along is the best. We tried a new place called Rileys (only minutes away) and water views with outdoor dining. The food was excellent and very reasonable. Also right next door is a brewery which is also dog friendly. LOVE this area and the accommodations. We will be back.
What we enjoyed most was sitting on the large deck overlooking Sodus Bay. Sunset was our favorite time of day to watch the clouds and water. Beautiful view, lots of birds, lovely landscaping. The interior of the house was charming, bright colors, lots of vintage furniture and decorative items, well equipped kitchen. Many wooden steps down from the deck to the shoreline, a bit hard for the oldest and youngest to navigate. We wished we’d packed paper towels, toilet paper and napkins as the supplies in the house were minimal and shopping options nearby were limited. All in all a good experience with lots of local and day trip options that family members of all ages enjoyed.
We already booked to return. This property is awesome. We had an issue with ac on holiday and the owner got someone over to remedy very quickly. The sunsets are spectacular. The deck is where we spent most of our time. It was a wonderful experience. We will be going back in a few months
The pristine view from the deck cannot be duplicated. The appointments inside are so charming and the cottage is so well equipped making a weeks stay sooooo easy. But….it’s all about the outdoors!! The large deck is just incredible - the view is mesmerizing- the side yards and thoughtful plantings are enchanting!! This was our 2nd time back and this time we brought along my brother and sister- in-law. They travelled from beautiful Southern California and were not disappointed! Thank you so much Aurora and Fred for sharing your piece of paradise! Truly a treasure!
This adorable house is a great place to spend time with family with a large, open, multi-level family room and kitchen off to the side. The furnishings are cute with eclectic antiques throughout.The panoramic view of Sodus Bay out the back windows is gorgeous. The house is located 1 hour from Syracuse and Rochester and 45 minutes from the north end of the Finger Lakes. There is plenty of cookware in the kitchen. You could easily cook Thanksgiving dinner here without needing to bring anything. The fireplace is beautiful and a nice place to sit in the evening. There are plenty of places nearby that sell firewood for better prices than the supermarket. We visited the house in late November. Outside temperatures were 30-40. The heater struggled to keep the house warm, as it was chilly inside at 64 even with the thermostat raised. The hardwood floors felt cooler. A comfy sweatshirt and slippers is recommended.
