On the eastern rim of Sodus Bay, Oak Park Inn Room #2 is a single-room offering inside a restored Colonial farmhouse at 6483 Catchpole Shore Road, North Rose, New York 14516. This is a lakeside basecamp that balances slow-pace comfort with immediate access to boating, fishing, and shoreline parks. The farmhouse’s wide front porch looks over Sodus Bay; inside, period details meet modern comforts—AC, Wi‑Fi, a Keurig, and linens included—while guests also gain use of marina and resort facilities.
Step outside and the landscape shifts: a working marina, a small-sand beach, and a landscape shaped by post-glacial Lake Ontario. Chimney Bluffs State Park, five minutes away by car, presents dramatic clay-and-silt formations carved by wind and water; Sodus Bay’s calm waters invite paddling, and a short drive leads to the historic Sodus Point Lighthouse Museum and the broader Lake Ontario shoreline. Oak Park’s property includes a pool and hot tub, a rec barn with ping pong and pool, lawn games, a putting green, a children’s playground, a bonfire pit, and organized kayak, canoe, and paddleboat rentals—so it suits couples, families, and small groups.
What sets this stay apart is the combination of a restored Colonial home and marina-resort access. You sleep in a room with private bath and return to a communal property that supports both low-key afternoons by the pool and active days on the water: onsite charter fishing is offered, and boaters benefit from a dedicated lounge and ice machine. The property’s location is also a practical advantage—Del Lago Casino, wineries, antiquing corridors, and regional airports sit within roughly an hour, while local parks and golf courses are minutes away.
Practicalities are straightforward: check-in at 3pm, check-out at 10am; rooms are furnished with towels and linens; a car is required for access. Policies include no smoking and no pets; a photo ID and card deposit may be required at check-in. The place accommodates up to two people in this room, and larger groups can reserve additional rooms or the whole house for reunions or small weddings.
For travelers who want shoreline mornings and late-afternoon paddles, Oak Park Inn Room #2 is an accessible, comfort-forward option with real marina perks—comfortable private quarters inside a living, working waterfront community that makes the most of Sodus Bay and the rugged beauty of nearby Chimney Bluffs. In-season programming at the property shifts from lazy summer dock days to crisp fall paddling and winter birding along the bay; hosts can arrange kayak launches, rental gear, and local charter fishing trips. Evenings here favor shoreline stargazing or a bonfire by the water, while morning coffee on the porch gives you a front-row seat to sunrise over the bay and passing boats, and quiet swims.
