For those who like to enjoy the annual salmon "Run" up the River in late summer or early to mid-Fall, enjoy staying along the Salmon River right in the middle of the action. Lake Ontario is also close to your doorstep from where you can see the fishing charter boats leaving for the deep waters of the Lake all season long. In the spring and fall, fishing boats troll for salmon and brown or lake trout close to the Lake shoreline. In the River right in front of the Lighthouse in August, September and October you may often see "running" King (Chinook) and Coho salmon surfacing and jumping as they enter the River to spawn. Some days are windy, some are calm, many are sunny and some are brisk; stay in the Lighthouse or in one of our three cottages and you will have a truly memorable experience. In late April and in May and June, the Lake action is from feisty Brown and Lake Trout and small mouth Bass in the River. No matter what the month or the mix of weather, the fishing is always great and you will love being on the river or enjoying the sandy Lake shore across the Salmon River on our private beach while experiencing the many faces and ever-changing moods of Lake Ontario.

The Lighthouse was initially renovated in 2014 in a warm, comfortable style that accentuates its rustic character and historic nature. Additional major renovations have been completed almost every year since 2014, including new birch hardwood flooring in the kitchen and dining area, a new composite slate roof and uncovering and refinishing the original 1838 plank flooring on the first floor. In 2021 all new Pella windows with "disappearing" screens were installed, in addition to an entirely brand new central air conditioning and heating system. The kitchen is fully equipped, including all new (in 2014) major appliances. There is one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs and they will sleep as many as eight (8) guests with a double bed in each one. Two additional guests have the option to utilize a new double bed-sized memory foam sleeper sofa in the upstairs living room. Boat slips and half-price on-site dockage are available if you have a boat of your own, with a new (2015) boat launch also on-site. But you don't need to be a fisherman to enjoy the annual late summer and fall excitement of the "Salmon Run" up the river. The private lakefront beach and Salmon River are beautiful and a romantic spot for couples to enjoy. If you are a family ready to enjoy a fishing or beach vacation or a group of friends ready for a very special time at a very special and historic place, what better place to stay - right in the middle of all the action.......
