About this property

A quiet cottage in a historic town, near boating, fishing, dining and nightlife

*We rent YEAR ROUND*
***Book now***

**We also own and rent out a cottage in nearby Sodus Point - A Little Peace at The Point - please check it out**

Totally renovated in 2014 & 2021 the cottage is located among 1800’s homes and just a half-mile from historic Pultneyville. This sweet little abode began life in the early 1900’s as the Pultneyville Harbor Office, before being moved to its present location in the 1950’s. In 2014 we went through it stem to stern, and painted, mended, or replaced everything in her, while keeping the original heart and soul of the cottage.

The family room has a sofa (sleeper) and 2 chairs, plus a bar height table and stools for dining or game-play. A Flat screen TV with Google Chromecast is provided and free Wi-Fi. (NOTE Strong reception for AT&T & Verizon Wireless cell service)

Mature shade trees and a wonderful lake breeze keep you cool in the summer. **window AC Unit that works great even on the hottest of days** 3 Fans are also provided. In the off-season a new in 2017 furnace keeps you warm & cozy.

The newly renovated kitchen features all new appliances, cabinets and finishes. If you want to cook, the kitchen is ready for you with complete cookware and dinnerware. A microwave, drip & Keurig coffeemakers, toaster, and a blender are included too. An outside WEBER gas grill is also provided.

There are 2 bedrooms, both with double beds (Serta Perfect Sleepers). There is an IKEA sleeper sofa in the living room that sleeps 2 as well. Linens included! (additional fees apply for more than 4 people).

The bathroom has all new fixtures and finishes and is very roomy, and includes a tub/shower unit. Towels provided.

***Please note there is NO SMOKING in The Cottage***

Step outside and enjoy seating on the covered front porch, with a beautiful view of the cherry orchard across the street (we are surrounded by orchards). In the back is a wood patio with a table and chairs, and a fire pit (wood is available). A short 5 minute walk across the street brings you to a 100-foot high bluff with beautiful views of Lake Ontario, part of the new Cornwall Preserve with hiking trails and peace & quiet.

And there is plenty to do nearby…the area is known for antique shops, dining, boating, and fishing.

Take a half-mile walk to town, and you’ll find the Pultneyville Deli & Up Pub, an Art Gallery, museum, antique shop, churches, and beautiful Pultneyville Harbor.

12 minutes east by car is Sodus Point, a dining, boating and fishing mecca. There are 2 lighthouses, a museum (free summer Sunday concerts on the lawn 2PM), fishing pier, several marinas, boat rentals, charter fishing boats, 2 playgrounds, skate park, ball field, really nice public beach(with lifeguards), multiple restaurants (open late), ice cream stands, gift shop, church, and convenience market.

3 miles east is Hughes Marina, with fishing, boat docks, boat launches and boat and kayak rentals. 4 miles west is the Bear Creek boat launch operated by the Town of Ontario (permit required), and this is a very popular fishing location.

Palmyra is 20 minutes south.

We live right next door and will be happy to be your host for your stay, and help you locate any of the local services. Hope you stay with us at The Pultneyville Harbor Office Cottage.

AMAZING
Everything was spectacular and exceeded all expectations!!! The location was perfect for star gazing and not to mention the firepit for the perfect abeyance!!! Everyone we meet in the area was super friendly, especially our host. The cottage was clean and very cozy inside and out. This will be our new go to spot when we are in the Rochester area for now on. Thank you Tom!!!

About the host

Hosted by Tom & Shelly Baker

Host profile image
We are a working couple with grown kids and 2 dogs, and we love the country. Our families have been in the area for over a hundred years. Shelly's grandmother was even the Pultneyville Postmaster.
Our house right next door is an 1883 farm house, largely original, and with 7 acres with lake views.
We spend our spare time fixing up the place and refinishing antiques. A lot of the time we sit on the porch and, sit.
Like you we also love to travel, and do a lot of that.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was on the property next to our house when we bought it in 2012. In 2014 we finally got around to renovating it, and again in 2021. It had been migrant housing for many years. It's popular now as a jump off point for Rochester and the finger Lakes region, as well as for snow-birds coming back, with fishermen, and also with bicyclists.

What makes this property unique

The PHOC is close to everything, but quiet and peaceful. We have priced this to be gentle on your wallet, but with all that you need. We love meeting our new guests, and hope they feel like family and keep coming back.
