Sunset Sanctuary is a cozy, updated bungalow perched on the east side of Canandaigua Lake, offering breathtaking water views and a peaceful escape from everyday life.

Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a spot to gather with family and friends, this home has everything you need.

Step inside andyou're greeted by a bright three-season room, the perfect spot for morning coffee, an afternoon nap, or simply enjoying the gentle lake breezes. The open-concept main living space combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas, allowing everyone to cook, eat, and unwind together while taking in panoramic lake views through wall-to-wall windows. The kitchen features white cabinetry, dark granite countertops, an oversized island, and modern appliances, making meal prep a breeze. The dining area overlooks the lake and opens directly onto the lakeside patio for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

The living room is designed for comfort, with plush furniture and a decorative fireplace, creating a welcoming spot to relax after a day of exploring. The primary bedroom offers a king-size bed and an en suite bath, while the second bedroom features a queen bed. A queen sleeper sofa in the living area and a futon in the three-season room provide extra sleeping space for families or small groups. Two full bathrooms ensure convenience for all guests.

Outside, the lakeside patio is ideal for dining al fresco or sipping a glass of wine while watching the sun set over the water. A private dock and boat lift make it easy to enjoy swimming, fishing, or simply relaxing by the lake. The gentle slope to the water ensures safe access for all ages, and the hot tub offers the perfect way to unwind after a day on the lake or exploring nearby attractions.

Sunset Sanctuary is just minutes from downtown Canandaigua, where you can visit local breweries like Young Lion and Twisted Rail, stroll along Kershaw Park, or enjoy dining at New York Kitchen or Nolan's. Boutique shops and charming cafés make exploring the area fun for the whole family.

    Adorable and clean little house with incredible view on a small peaceful road. Hot tub and canoe/kayak were thoroughly enjoyed. Only 10 minutes from the Lake House which is a treasure not to be missed. Easy access to Watkins Glen and Letchworth hiking. We had a lovely long early June weekend before the crowds arrive.

    We enjoyed staying lakeside and appreciated the hot tub and kayaks. We were a little disappointed in finding the property to not be the cleanest and actually had to vacuum upon arrival. The air conditioners actually DO NOT work. This was not a big issue for us as the weather was cooler, but would have been disappointing if the temps were above 80. The screen door going into the house had a broken closer, which we simply removed. The back screen is also not working correctly and was difficult to open/close. All in all we enjoyed our stay!

    Great little cabin on the lake. My children fished all day off the pier. Plenty of water activity items provided, clean, great communication; 5 stars every day of the week!

    The home was really nicely presented. The windows provide the most wonderful view of the lake. The indoor fireplace was most welcome and the hot tub by the lake edge a real treat.

    Very pleasant stay, nice accomodations. Kitchen, living space very comfortable. Some suggestions: 1) 2nd bedroom/bath needs more attention. BR needs hooks, very little counterspace for toiletries. Night light needed. 2) Bedroom: no counter space, some in closet but held a lot of board games 2) double outlet installed above heater, lamp cord was touching baseboard heater, cord was hot. This is a fire hazard. I draped the cord over a nearby trash can to avoid contact. In sum, the second bedroom/bath was a bit of an afterthought. Thank you.

    We had an amazing week here. The house, property and sunsets were perfect. The house is a great size for 4-6 people, easy to keep organized and clean and steps away from the water. The area was quiet. We will rent next year!

    We had a wonderful stay here! The view is spectacular and worth every penny. We slept 4 adults and it was very comfortable. There is a pullout couch and futon for additional sleeping but can’t speak to how comfortable they are. The kitchen had most anything we needed as far as utensils and cookware went. We had a 3 year old child who visited for the day and I could say the location would not be great for a child any younger. There was a drop off, stairs down to the lake, and not a large area to walk into the water. The lake is very rocky so highly recommend water shoes. Hopefully these are helpful notes - we loved our time here and would stay again.

    Cottage is located perfectly for trips into Canandaigua and winery touring. Deck and dock were perfect for coffee on the cool mornings. Clean well appointed and comfortable. Check in and check out was a breeze.
