Lake Ontario vacation rentals give you a place to stay for the night, but there's so much more than that. You'll will often find a larger and more personal space than a hotel can offer, where you can relax and soak in the views of beautiful Lake Ontario. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a fishing weekend with your buddies, or some other getaway, you will find Lake Ontario cottages and cabins all along the shore to perfectly suit your vacation plans.

The western portion of the lake, in between Niagara Falls and Rochester, is one of the best places in the state for salmon and bass fishing. As long as the lake hasn't frozen over, it's easy to find locales where the fish are biting. Many of the Lake Ontario New York rentals are close to the fishing hotspots, making it easy to get out on the lake before the sun rises. If you choose one of the rentals with a full kitchen, you can turn the day's catch into a great dinner after the sun has gone down.

A significant portion of the shoreline has been set aside as state parks, which are great places to find campgrounds and Lake Ontario cottages. Alongside scenic Thirty Mile Lighthouse, Golden Hill State Park is a four-season destination, complete with Lake Ontario New York rentals. Visitors enjoy an array of seasonal activities-snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter give way to jet boating, swimming, and hiking when the weather is warm. The options for Lake Ontario vacation rentals here include the full-service Lighthouse Cottage and fully furnished tents. Ready for you as soon as you arrive, these tents come equipped with beds, linens, and coolers to keep your drinks cold. Nearby Four Mile Creek State Park also has furnished tents available for rent.
