Twilight Cove: Beautiful Sunset Views on Canandaigua Lake!

Twilight Cove is a unique house with a beautiful setting on Canandaigua Lake's East side. The sunsets are spectacular!! The house itself is a mix of eclectic (a hand painted mural on the living room wall) and modern (a combination convection/microwave oven). The gently sloping front lawn leads to a gorgeous lakefront setting, and a wonderfully huge permanent dock. I love how the dock is built around the picturesque willow tree. The house was clean, well equipped, and easy to get around. The sun room is the shining star of the house -- a six sided room with almost all glass walls. It was the perfect spot to sit and paint, craft and read, all while contemplating the beauty of the lake. The only negative about the house is it could definitely use some instructions re navigating the very fancy digital Keurig (we eventually figured it out), the crazy complicated television system (we didn't watch much TV), and the NEST thermostat system for the heating/cooling (we were at it's mercy the entire time!). A binder containing such info, plus more, is usually found in vacation rentals, and it would be a great addition to Twilight Cove.

Visit was outstanding. The cottage was very clean, all facilities functiomed well, provided linens were very convenient. The porch held a large number of guests easily - and gave a stunning view of the lake. The weather was too cold to take advantage of the dock, barbeque, etc. All in all, an excellent stay in a beautifully decorated faciliyy.

The lake view was lovely. Getting to the lake could be made a little easier with handrails.We had a problem with a soaking wet bathroom floor when we arrived. The whole area is carpeted. We called maintenance, and a young man arrived and did a wonderful job finding and fixing the leak. He also did a wet-vac job as well as an he could to get rid of the excess water. He carried out around 5 gallons! He had some difficulty finding the water shut off valve. It might be helpful to know where those are located.He was completely successful in stopping the leak, but as the carpet dried, a mildew smell began to be more and more noticeable in that bathroom. I’d be surprised if there was no mold developing there.The refrigerator in the small kitchen is also leaking into the bottom drawers. I don’t think there’s an external leak.I have to say…the stairs are frightening! This is undoubtedly a place for a younger family. It’s beautiful, and the new kitchen is terrific, but we are all in our 70s, and some of these issues are challenging.We did have a wonderful time, and the house is very good for a younger group.

My Mom had a cottage on Canandaigua Lake. I have been going there since I was 5. I am now 68. We had to close the cottage many years ago. Being back there again felt like home. My heart will always be on Canandaigua Lake.
