A slice of heaven
Uncle Johns on Blind Sodus Bay is the perfect getaway! The cottage itself, is located right on the edge of the bay, so all you will hear are the relaxing sounds of waves and bird song. The cottage has full amenities! Plenty of room to sit and enjoy, inside and out! A full kitchen, from glassware, pots and pans, to frosted glasses in the freezer. All you’ll need to do is plan your own menu. If you prefer, there’s even a grill outside! The entire cottage is decorated by Mary (the hostess), who has the perfect eye! All bedrooms have their own theme, and she even decorates for certain times of the year. There’s a fireplace in the living room for those nights where you’d just like to be cozy and watch a movie. Outside, there’s plenty to do! If you just want to read a book in the sun, there’s a beautiful deck with the best chairs. If you’re more of a night owl, there’s a fire pit, and when the season allows, there’s even a personal pier! The area itself, is quiet, quaint and full of different sites to see! From the little restaurants in town, to the adorable shops! Also, I would like to say that Chuck and Mary are the best hosts that anyone could ever ask for and they were more than happy to help us with any questions that we had!I highly recommend this cottage to anyone who’s interested in a getaway to the most perfect place on Earth!

Place you want to come back to again and again
It's our third year in a row for staying at Bayfront Red Creek cottage. We absolutely love it! It's cozy, clean, well-stocked, peaceful and quiet. Anything you might think of is supplied! Amazing hosts, friendly, thoughtful, make you feel like family! We enjoyed kayaking, playing various outdoor games, hiking. We would rate it 10 stars if we could. Highly recommend!

Best paddleboard destination, nature ,great accommodations
This is a very special place ❤️. The hosts have thought of everything you may need and more.We had a great stay and will be back. We got to see Bald Eagles , hummingbirds , beavers , deer, and turtles. The cottage is beautiful and right on the water .We always use the grill and eat outside.Nearby Fairhaven shops are fun and close to museums and restaurants. No lack of things to do near here, or just soak up the sound of birds and the water.Nice furnishings and TV for night time relaxing, great views from inside too.

Cottage by the water
Cute cottage with plenty of room for us (a couple). Loved the cozy fireplace (gas, so easy on and off). Bathroom was clean and well-stocked with towels. Note: If you have trouble going up and down stairs, you might not love it here. Steep stairs (with plenty of handholds, but still...) to go down and up to the kitchen. Nice deck outside to watch the water and the swans.

A little slice of heaven
Having been a cottage owner for 35 years on BSB, and 15 years ago, building our permanent home there on the end of the peninsula, we had the opportunity to stay at Uncle John’s cottage twice during 2022. It was such an honor to stay at one of the original cottage built in 1951 by the Wiltse family. One of the founding members of the bay association and stewards of the bay and surrounding properties, Chuck Wiltse and Mary Connery have kept the Wiltse traditions strong through the years. Mary has done a wonderful job of capturing the history of this 71 year old camp through her tasteful decoration and appointments throughout the cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and free of any spiders, etc. Every corner of this cottage was sealed and meticulously cared for regarding safety and comfort. We stayed during the hottest week of the season in July and the coldest week in the last week of October and the A/C and gas fireplace and heaters kept us cozy and comfortable. It was such a pleasure to be the guests of this kind and knowledgeable couple and to share their family history with us.

Great place, beautiful setting. Amazing Hosts!
Everything was excellent. Mary and Chuck went above and beyond to accommodate myself and 2 friends. We had an excellent time. They were so thoughtful and gracious, making sure had more than enough of what we needed for a little getaway. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to visit the area, do some fishing, or just hang by the lake!

Beautiful Lake Front Cottage
Chuck and Mary have a beautiful very well appointed cottage. We had a great time relaxing with family. This cottage is very well kept and offers amazing sun sets! The kitchen is so inviting it was a pleasure to cook meals and bake goodies for the family. Chuck and Mary live right next door they were very helpful and respectfully of our privacy too! It was also awesome that we had a dock to tie our boat off to. Great place looking forward to our next visit!

Wonderful place to relax
My family and I enjoyed the sounds, views, and peacefulness of the lake so much. Mornings were the best to enjoy your coffee out by the water. During the day, relax inside or out with a beautiful breeze coming off the lake. At night, sit outside and listen to the water by the campfire. Wonderful area and gracious owners. We just left and we miss it already.
