Lakehouse at Pillar Point on Lake Ontario, a relaxing home with stunning sunsets

A perfect retreat for individuals, couples, small families, or those looking for a remote work spot, our house boasts views of the most beautiful sunsets on the pristine waters of Lake Ontario. The location offers access to plenty of activities such as world-class fishing, great restaurants, rich historical sites, smaller waterways for canoeing and kayaking, plenty of hiking trails, golf courses, wineries, distilleries, seasonal festivals, skiing, and snowshoeing. Our favorite activity is to just stay at the house, play in the water, grill, and spend time together on the deck watching boats pass and the sun set. In the winter we love to ice fish and cross country ski, then come back to the house to have cocktails around the fireplace.

Our kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and a supply of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a starter supply of coffee and tea. A drip coffee maker, Keurig, French press, and coffee grinder are available.

The large main bedroom has a king bed, double closet, and a sliding door overlooking the water. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the sofa is a luxury sleeper full size pullout. There is a desk and office chair in the kitchen/living area.

Overlooking the water, our living room is equipped for indoor entertainment with a large Smart TV, board/card games, and an assortment of books.

From the large back deck take in the views as you grill and dine. The metal staircase will take you down 15 feet to limestone rock ledges where you can relax in provided camp chairs. We highly recommend that everyone wear water shoes as the rocks in and out of the water are slippery, we do provide a ladder for daily use to easily get into and out of water. Tread at your own risk. We provide life jackets, we require you to use them to swim; swimming is at your own risk. Additionally, across the road, there is a large lawn for games or for parking a boat/snowmobile trailer if needed. Once the sun sets, roast some s'mores at the firepit!

Whether you are looking for a calming retreat from the chaos of daily life, or for just a beautiful, easy place to stay with access to the amenities of Lake Ontario, we’d love to host you at our lakehouse, Hazel's Lookout!

***PLEASE NOTE:
1. There is NO dock nor place to anchor your boat or PWC at the house
2. Google maps will show a picture of our land across the street that has two outbuildings on it, but doesn’t show the actual house. The house is on the WATER side of the road.
3. Our water source is a shore well -- we have a sediment filter, carbon filter, and UV filter. It is your discretion whether to use it as drinking water, all I can tell you is that we sometimes do. We do NOT provide bottled water. The pump is located in the house which creates great water pressure, however it does make noise when it has to re-pressurize, this usually only lasts about a minute.

PETS -- there is a one-time $45 pet fee if you are bringing your furry friend; if excessive pet hair or pet waste is found an additional $50 cleaning fee will be applied.

House Rules beyond what is found in house rules section:
-Quiet Hours: 10pm-7am
-NO PARTIES OR EVENTS
-No smoking inside or outside
-Use the waterfront at your own risk — the water can be unpredictable and the rock can be slippery
-We do not allow third party bookings, meaning whomever books the stay must be the guests that stay
-Pets- one dog max, unless specifically given permission otherwise, dogs must be kept on leash when outside, as above a fee will be incurred for excessive pet hair or any pet waste.
-Please ask for prior permission for additional guests beyond the 5 person max, including daytime visits. Our septic is simply unable to accommodate lots of guests. Any overnight guest over the 5 person max will have a $50 additional fee per guest and needs prior authorization. Any extra guests without prior authorization will incur a fee.

Absolutely wonderful- already planning our next trip. The house is perfect size for us- my husband, me, and two young adult children. Easy to find, easy to enter. We didn’t have our dogs but it is dog friendly. It’s so comfortable, the views were breathtaking. We saw a comet and several shooting stars at night. 20 min or so drive to fort drum.

From the moment we walked into the house, we were surprised that it was even BETTER than the pictures showed. We were SO IMPRESSED and felt lucky we live relatively close by as we are already talking about "next time we come." Thank you so much!

We had an amazing 4-night stay at the lake house. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. The host provided a lot of tips to make our stay even more enjoyable. The surrounding area is very peaceful and quiet. There were no cars passing by so we were completely immersed in the sounds of nature. Location was perfect for our trip to the Thousand Islands area and we would recommend this lake house to anyone.

This was a very cute and clean cottage located on the banks of the water. Beautiful sunsets in a very quiet, seasonal cottage neighborhood. All amenities were as described and just what we needed to get away for the week. Thank you again to the owners for keeping up and offering out their oasis!

Perfect Thousand Island area vacation spot
This was the perfect spot to stay during our Thousand Island vacation. Possibly the cleanest rental we've every stayed in - and situated in a very quiet area away from crowds and traffic. The deck overlooks Lake Ontario and treated us to beautiful sunsets and serenades from the local birds. The house was perfect for us - very comfortable bed and a well-stocked kitchen. Our host, Heather, was very informative and attentive to our needs. Thanks!

Eclipse trip.
The lake house was very clean, quiet and relaxing. My wife, myself, my daughter and her husband drove up from Pennsylvania to see the eclipse. The rear deck was our favorite spot since the view is amazing. The westerly view made for some spectacular sunsets. The house is well equipped with whatever you need. The host was friendly, helpful and responded to my texts in a timely manner, almost immediately. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants a place off the beaten path with a great view.

Pillar Point hospitality
Pillar Point is a friendly relaxed beautiful location and this property let us enjoy it to the fullest. We spent virtually the whole week at or near the property. We loved taking walks along the roads listening to the waves crashing as we walked by. Sunsets were lovely and different every night. Kitchen was well stocked. I even made chocolate chip cookies from scratch.
