Cottage holiday rentals in Canandaigua Lake

Loved this lake side cottage!! It was perfect for us to meet up with extended family. Beds very comfortable! All the base necessities were there, the view is amazing! We had a blast fishing and swimming, and also kayaking!!!! There is a lot of room between the bedrooms, living room, covered patio, dock and yard to not feel cramped. Appreciate the laundry room, much needed when in and out of the lake. Lastly I asked for extra hour to visit with family since we were going right to airport and they answered back quickly no problem.

Nice setting easy to get to all activities we were looking to do like Watkins glen and wineries. Tony provided detailed instructions and gave good recommendations!

Peppermint Cottage was everything we hoped it would be! The scent of peppermint welcomed us upon our arrival. The fireplace and wide-plank floors created a perfect ambiance as we enjoyed the comfortable, cozy living room. The beds were comfy and the sheets crisp and clean. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to visit again someday.

We had the best family get away!! Great views from the house, kitchen has everything you need, the hot tub and fire pit were awesome bonuses and overall the place was excellent! We rent a lakefront getaway at least twice and year and this one was one of if not the best places we’ve stayed! Hosts are super nice, quick to answer any questions you have, and check in/out were super easy. And if you’re bass fishing, this is the perfect spot. 11/10!!

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

We had a great time here on the lake. The house was stocked with kitchen needs, water activities, towels, comfortable bedding, coffee, and bathroom amenities. We spent most of our trip swimming in the lake, kayaking, and sitting in the hot tub. Great location to Watkins glen and the wine trail. Would love to come back for another trip!

Beautiful home right on the lake. The weather was a bit cold and rainy while we were there so we didn't use the outside space as much as planned, but the spacious living room and dining room were perfect for our 8-person group plus a 7 month old! Tons of space to spread out, play games, read, and play with baby. There were mega blocks, a play mat, a high chair, a changing table, a crib, and everything we could need for our baby. The hot tub was also fantastic for the colder days. We used the firepit as well and there were plenty of Adirondack chairs for our group our there. Two of our cars are electric, so the charger was a big plus! This is a wonderful find and we would love to book again later in the summer! Perfect for the whole family. We cooked a few time while here, and the kitchen had the basics like toaster, cooking utensils, pans, knives, etc. Lots of cups and glasses for making drinks, too.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

We celebrated our 40th Anniversary at this lovely cottage surrounded by fields of grapes and a beautiful view and lake setting. We were very comfortable and enjoyed all the surrounding nature, restaurants and wineries. Mary was very responsive and gave us perfect directions and information. We definitely would stay at this Cozy Cottage again!

We came to see Goose at CMAC and wanted a full lake weekend and this definitely delivered! The place is beautiful, comfortable, and close to anything you’d want to do, would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at this clean and comfortable lakeside cottage. We felt the location was nice, peaceful surroundings, yet close to all the trails and attractions. We would definitely return if ever in the area.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, we just needed a place to stop for the night, but Michele’s place was so beautiful and cozy we will definitely be back if we’re visiting the area again

Stayed with my wife and two kids. Loved the location! Went to a concert at CMAC and it was only 7 minutes away. Close to grocery stores, restaurants and lake/beach access. Home was clean and as described. We normally vacation each summer in the finger lakes and will be back for sure!

This property is magical and after two years of visiting, has quickly become my favorite spot in the Finger Lakes!!! The house is well appointed with all of the little details considered and executed on for guests (seasonings, food storage containers, firewood, hooks to hang your personal items in the bedrooms and bathrooms, throw blankets, etc.). As soon as you step in, you feel right at home and the lakeside fire-pit and view from the top wraparound deck are serene and beautiful spots to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine. We saw herons and eagles daily from the deck and if you kayak to the nearby cove, you can enjoy more birdwatching if you love nature like us!! The lake entry is easy to get in and the landscape and property are in pristine condition. Can’t wait for our next visit!!

We absolutely loved our stay- we did not want to leave! Beautiful view of the lake and the coziest space. We will definitely be back!

Another great stay at this perfect home away from home. Nancy has thought of everything you and your pup will need for an incredibly comfortable vacation on the lake. There is a ton to do and explore in the surrounding area. Some of the highlights this year were the Geneva Lake trail, Grounded (cute cafe that allows dogs inside or out!), The Spotted Duck (amazing ice cream and they offer pup cups), Billsboro winery (chocolate truffle & wine pairing, also dog friendly), and Dean Lane Dining (no pets) in Dundee. And then there’s the magic of sunrise from Nancy’s deck and evenings just watching fish jumping, birds flying, and ducks swimming, all from the glider on the dock. Simple pleasures abound here.

The Checkered Duck is a perfect little cottage on the lake. From time of booking to our departure Robyn was so very helpful with recommendations and getting us in touch for a driver to tour the local wineries. Her home was perfectly spotless and perfect for a weekend getaway

Had a great stay. Loved the location and everything provided to enjoy the stay for 2 nights. Would love to return!

We had a great time on Waneta. The second story balcony had a nice view of the lake was a wonderful place to relax after a day hiking at Watkins Glen, Letchworth, and other places. We also enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake. I hope that others find time to enjoy a stay here as well.

Had a wonderful weekend getaway! Right across the street from Lakeshore Winery and not even a 10 min drive from plenty others. Beautiful location on the lake, would highly recommend and would def come again!

Beautiful location, house was just the right size, my sisters and I had a great time despite the rain and chilly temperatures. Loved that the house was right on the water.

Our second time - was as wonderful as first.

Wow - what a fantastic lakeside retreat! There must be 6 different places to sit/gather outside - the fire table was especially nice for sipping some Riesling on a chilly night. Well equipped kitchen, and lots of amenities (including kayaks if so inclined). Very quiet surroundings (we were there during the week-end, too), but you have to watch out for the seagulls - they like to hang out on the deck. Great location is within 1/2 hour of many excellent wineries and restaurants. Would definitely return here the next time we are in FLX!

This place is stunning! The home is clean, well maintained and well stocked. The view is amazing, the dock long with great sitting area- would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you Anthony!
