It is located on a one lane, private road, that extends to the Blind Sodus Bay peninsula. You will be surrounded by water and wildlife. The neighborhood is peaceful and relaxing. Grandma’s cottage has been in our family for 60+ years. This place truly is an old family cottage. It has been modernized over the years with hot & cold running water, a shower & propane heat. Things it did not have when I stayed there as a child. It was always furnished/decorated with mismatched items handed down from family & friends. That was ok with Grandma. “It’s just a cottage”. That decorating style has carried on throughout the years giving the cottage an eclectic charm. Swimming access is across the lane. It is a walk-in, sandy bottom. No dock. A fairly large grassy area with picnic table is located at the swimming area. Your hosts, Amylynn and Ed, are available most any reasonable time and will provide advise and services upon request.
