Canandaigua Lake House on the Water

We had a fantastic multi-generational stay at this lakefront home! The house was perfect for our group, which included grandparents, parents, and young kids. It was spacious, clean, and very comfortable for everyone. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials we needed to prepare meals throughout the weekend. We also really appreciated how kid-friendly the home was. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing and well-equipped place to stay!

This spacious cottage home has five bedrooms, four of which have room AC. Any kitchen utensil imaginable is provided. The shaded patio with a ceiling fan allows comfortable outdoor dining. The owner is responsive to any questions. We used the kayaks and canoe provided daily. We loved our 3 weeks on the lake!

Everyone in the family loves this place.

This is an amazing lake experience. The water, accessibility, view, dock, deck, and boats/jackets are outstanding and make for a peaceful** family lake experience. The house is spacious and well stocked. Cassandra and Sarah were responsive and helpful. Unfortunately, our visit coincided with a heat dome and while the listing states that the house is 'air conditioned', what that means (as of 6/2024) is portable units in some of the bedrooms while the main quarters are not conditioned at all and would consistently maintain a temp several degrees above the ambient -- well into the mid-90s with 90+% humidity in our case. Any time spent inside (especially cooking) was uncomfortable and bordering on ill-advised for vulnerable persons. While a visit during a more temperate clime would obviate this issue (and no one can be blamed for the weather), had we known the specifics of the AC configuration, we would have likely sought a different property for our summer visit. Unfortunately, the moderate summers of our youth are passing and premium priced properties may find modifying their infrastucture accordingly would be a game changer during extreme conditions. **A new house is being constructed nearby and the sounds of electric saws and hammering took a little off of the overall shalom of the cove. Happily, the impressive industry demonstrated by the carpenters during an exceptionally hot summer weekend suggests the overall construction period will be mercifully brief.

We had a wonderful time here!

Perfect family vacation. Everyone had a wonderful time - sun, water, spectacular view - who could ask for more. Kayaked, canoed, and swam everyday. Lots of room to spread out so we weren't on top of each other, but also great indoor and outdoor spaces to gather.

This is an absolutely exceptional location on Canandaigua Lake—beautiful view, level beach, few steps to lake, protected cove, southern end beauty with less water traffic and noise. We had a wonderful time for all ages—two year olds loved the little pebble beach for playing and swimming, older folks enjoyed water sports on a tri-toon rental from Smith Boys very close by and used the canoe and kayak every day. There is plenty of room to spread out, inside and out. We are really hoping to find a week to rent again next year!

Fantastic location on quiet cove, perfect for boating, tubing, water skiing, paddleboarding, sailing. Property is a little tired looking--needs some updating. Well stocked with everything you'll need. Be sure to stock up on groceries at Wegmans in Canandaigua because its too far to go back for more during the week. There are 2 frigs, so there will be plenty of space for storing your food. Store in Naples is very small and awful! Any appliance you could want is in the cottage for your use. Kids of all ages loved this place, as did Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa. Highly recommend!!

This was our second time staying here and we had another amazing week. The deck and living room fit our family with plenty of space and we made several dinners in the well appointed kitchen. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were very clean. Lake access is perfect - you can walk in from the beach or use the dock/ladder. No seaweed or zebra mussels. But nothing can top the incredible views of the lake. We can’t wait to come back!

This was our group’s second stay here and it was fabulous again. Excellent location. Very peaceful right on the lake. Will stay again!
