Description of the Wilson vacation home rental
Welcome to North Star Cottage, a charming lakefront property and all-season house in historic Wilson, New York.
North Star Cottage can accommodate up to FIVE persons in three bedrooms, with one bedroom on the first floor and two on the second: the first floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed; on the second floor, there is one double bedroom and one single, and they share a landing with lake view. New mattresses and quality linens are on all beds, and you'll find fluffy duvets for cozy winter nights.
There is one full bath, with tub and shower. Towels are provided.
Five deck levels offer additional three-season space for relaxing or entertaining, and easy access to the lake, with views of Toronto, weekly sailing regattas, and passing lake and ocean-going freighters. From March to September, there are fabulous sunsets AND remarkable sunrises over the water. In fall and winter, the same is true for the moon! After dark, you'll see the distant lights of greater Toronto like jewels on the horizon, and a sky full of stars with the Big Dipper circling the North Star above the lake.
The decks are furnished with tables, chairs, and umbrellas. Stairs to each level end at the water. Water access is by a small dock, but as lake levels vary throughout the season, you may find the remains of a cement pier exposed, or even a small stone beach. Put in your own kayak, rowboat, canoe, or inflatable dinghy.
The house is also available for cold-weather visits, and is fully heated with zoned thermostats.
There is a fully equipped country kitchen, including stove, full-size refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, espresso press, cuisinart blender, sandwich grill, pots and pans, utensils, china, glassware, etc, plus an outdoor charcoal grill. A round table has seating for six and a beautiful view of the lake.
A clothes washer and dryer, laundry soap, iron, and ironing board are all available for your use.
The living room has comfortable seating with interesting antiques,a cottage piano, a 27" TV with basic cable, and a DVD player. Many books and an assortment of games are available for a rainy day. An upstairs bedroom has an additional small television.
A cozy sun room is furnished in wicker and overlooks the deck and water.
All rooms have some water views and pretty framed art, and the house is within walking distance of two fishing piers and the scenic harbor front.
The village center is less than a mile away, with grocery store, restaurants, banks, and shops.
An excellent state park is a short drive or bike ride along the lake. The village park is directly across the road from the cottage,with a grass meadow, baseball diamonds, a small playground, and a pine forest. Pop over for a Little League game on spring and summer evenings, or listen from the front porch rockers.
Two driveways provide adequate off-street parking for up to three cars.
North Star is a smoke-free environment.
Come and share beautiful sunsets that last and last,
followed by romantic star-filled nights!
For getaways of less than one week:
Sept-May (excluding specials): First two nights $450 and $80 for each additional night.
