Notes: 

Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario, our cottages enjoy a remote and picturesque setting.   With a large lot, breathtaking sunsets, and ample space, our little cluster of cottages is completely encircled by the untouched wilderness of New York State's forever wild parkland.

The Ferry family has cherished this cottage for almost four decades. Initially owned by Grandma and Grandpa until their passing in 2010, it was bequeathed to my siblings and me. Over time, we acquired more cottages in the vicinity, becoming owners who not only share among ourselves but are excited to welcome YOU!
