Unique lake house built overwater on the Great Lakes, Sodus Bay Lake Ontario Your family’s Leroy Island getaway starts here.

There’s a boathouse with 3 kayaks, 2 paddle boards a pedal boat & a tube to tow behind your boat. Catch fish right in the boathouse & on the docks. Swim on a private gravel beach. Wraparound decks with fantastic views. Dine alfresco using the 3 outdoor patio sets & gas grill or just use them for morning coffee & afternoon cocktails. Enjoy S’mores around the gas fire pit.

Walk around decks, Docks on both sides of the house and in the boathouse (docks and boathouse have no railings so non swimmers should wear life jackets and kids supervised). There are a lot of stairs. Plenty of parking at the top and room for your boat trailer across the street. Gates and baby gear are stored in closet. New custom shower in full bath as well as an outdoor shower in the covered boathouse. Outside boat lift can be used or just tie up along the docks. Easily enough space for 7 boats. Swim in the private gravel beach. This is the place for your outdoor vacation on the water.Tired of the kids inside? Outdoor adventure awaits. Water sports and world class fishing literally out the back door. Bring your boat or rent one nearby. Charter a fishing trip for salmon, brown trout or lake trout. Bird watchers will see eagles, osprey humming birds and just about every type of duck, geese, swans etc. Turtles nest on the property. I have seen mink, beavers, fox, and deer.There is a hose and a pressure washer in the boathouse, to help clean your boat after a day of fishing, as well as a fish cleaning table. Need more excitement? Del Lago casino is only a 1/2 hour away. The Sterling Renaissance Fair is a short drive. Wineries, brew pubs and fine dining just a short trip. There are no bars or restaurants on the island, however Skippers Landing and Pier 53 are less than a mile away. There are numerous restaurants along the water of Sodus Bay and in driving distance. Winter rentals will have to shovel their way in and out as there is no snow removal. There are shovels present on site, and the ice fishing is worth it. Guests can use the full property. Do not drive down the hill driveway. Park up top and walk down to avoid ending up in the lake or being towed back up the steep hill. You can easily fit 4 to 6 cars in the parking area at the top with additional parking in the gravel across the road. There are some life jackets, kids fishing gear and various floats available in the boathouse. Sea weed is common in the warmer weather. There are bubblers to push out the floating variety and a cutter and forks to scoop it located in the boathouse. Harvesters work the island weekly but it’s still there. There are beach towels available. I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have before booking. The only thing you should need to bring is food, beverages, clothes, fishing gear and a boat. No boat? Numerous places are available to rent them.Bring your dog, but please clean up after them. Dogs love to swim and play at the beach, but must obey the leash laws. No wet dogs in the house. No dogs on the furniture. Smoking and vaping outside only away from the doors and open windows.
