Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Canandaigua Lake

My husband and I stayed here for a winter weekend getaway and it was everything we wanted! Perfectly tucked away in the woods, but close to Hammondsport and Penn Yan! We will definitely be back in the future.

Drift away was a wonderful cottage right on the lake. Place was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views. We didn’t have the greatest weather which would have made the trip so much better, so we hope to plan a trip back soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Evan's house. The location is great - secluded but not isolated, and not too far from shopping (Wegmans – 15 minutes) and colleges (Ithaca College – 18 minutes). The house was very spacious and tastefully done. For people that like to cook, there is oil, salt, pepper, ketchup and mustard in the kitchen so there's no need to buy or bring them. There were many thoughtful touches, including flashlights by the outside doors, labels by the lights and temperature controls, phone chargers by the beds, and an outside poop bag garbage bin. Our dog really liked running around the property. Evan was super responsive and always got back to me right away.

We had a great time here! Chris gave us incredible food and activity recommendations making our stay extremely worthwhile. He was responsive and helpful throughout the entire weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here- the views were incredible, the dock was so peaceful, and we loved having access to a fire pit. The driveway is pretty steep, required to walk up/down to access the dock. Our stay was perfect, can't wait to return.

Our family had a great time at this beautiful property. The lake view was perfect - we even saw a local otter a few times from the back deck. The hot tub was a great spot to relax at the end of a long day. The Finger Lakes in general are lovely and this was a very relaxing place to stay in the area. Naples is very close and has a full grocery, plus restaurants and ice cream parlors - we can highly recommend trying the strawberry at Lynnie Lou’s! The property appeared exactly as the photos. Everything was clean, orderly, and well supplied. Our two boys loved the bunk room, especially watching a movie from the top bunks before bed. Highly recommend, would love to stay here again - if only it weren’t a 15 hour drive!

This is my families second stay at Bree’s beautiful home for the Christmas week. The family gathers from all different cities and such a perfect spot to come together ! Cozy and spacious , kitchen is well supplied and the views are spectacular. We were so happy to have a white Christmas this year and 6 fox sightings in the yard!! Highly recommend!! Haven’t stayed for the summer season but I can imagine with the pool and hot tub and lake use opportunities it would amazing. Thanks again Tom

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay for our college reunion. It was perfect for 3 couples. Easy walking distance to all activities, the lake, restaurants, bars, and downtown. Easy check-in, and simple check-out. We will definitely be staying here again!

We had the most incredible stay at the beautifully maintained and thoughtfully appointed Vacatella. The space was spotless, spacious, and filled with little touches that elevated the experience. As a couple who loves to cook, we were thrilled to find such a fully equipped space - sourcing fresh, local meats and produce from nearby farms and markets. We were just minutes from fantastic restaurants, world-class wineries, and a range of water activities, yet it still felt like a peaceful retreat perfect for relaxing and unwinding. As a couple traveling with our dog, we truly appreciated how pet-friendly the space was without sacrificing an ounce of comfort or charm. Our dog was just as happy as we were, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and sunny outdoor spaces. Highly recommend for food lovers, pet parents, and anyone looking for a serene and delicious escape! Vacatella strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort, and we can’t wait to return.

I feel we got exactly what I expected or better from the listing. Comfy bed with lots of pillows, liked the living room area a lot. The only downsides have already been mentioned in other reviews - spotty WiFi, sulfur water smell, and a tight fit for my broad shouldered husband to fit on the toilet. The first 2 things just feel like a living in the country situation. I still give it 5 stars anyway. I would recommend this place to anyone who wouldn’t mind those things. Chris was always easy to deal with!

So I'll start by giving a glowing review! This was our first Airbnb experience and I feel like Sarah set the bar very high. We had a wonderful stay. We were blown away at how beautiful, pristine and nicely decorated her "Loft" was. It was fully stocked beyond our expectations. there was plenty of things for us to use if we needed them. Her deck outside was just gorgeous with a beautiful view, comfortable chairs and a gas fireplace. Sarah was very attentive and got back to me immediately when I had questions. You could literally forget your toiletries and you wouldn't have to worry because Sarah had them there for you. We were less than 10 minutes away from the heart of Watkins Glen. Easy drive into town. My husband was very impressed with the parking pad that we had right at the base of the stairs to get into the loft. The description of The loft on the Airbnb website was accurate. we loved our first Airbnb experience. we will definitely be back to Sarah's place.

2 minute walk to a beautiful waterfall that you can hear when you’re outside but doesn’t keep you up at night! Great place near Watkins Glen and Seneca lake.

We had a great time at John and Maria’s place. Their place is very comfortable, appealingly decorated and welcoming. All of the amenities made our stay pleasant and enjoyable. We felt right at home. John and Maria’s extensive area recommendations made our stay in Rochester that much better. We had excellent communication. John and Maria made us feel welcome and right at home.

We loved Glenn and Dianna's place. All the furniture, decor, etc. was great for relaxing and unwinding. The deck (with firepit and grill) has a breathaking view of Seneca Lake, and there are so many restaurants, wineries, breweries, etc. all within a few miles. Also easy access to Watkins Glen and its walkable, quaint downtown. The message we received for checking in was probably the most detailed and helpful we've gotten from any host. Very precise directions for parking, entering the apartment, etc., and lots of information about local restaurants, wineries, etc. It was a pleasure meeting them both, as they are super friendly and genuinely nice people. It is about a half hour or a little more to Ithaca from here (we were in the area for our daughter's college graduation), with an easy trip over scenic back roads. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a picturesque, private and comfortable spot in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

Our stay at Ron's was beautiful! I absolutely loved how close we were to Watkins Glen and the fact that we could see the lake from our doorstep! Would stay with Ron again :) Huge pros: • It's super close to Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake • Amazing firepit setup! Setup smartly such that the smoke only blows one direction so you can stay out of it • Well stocked with everything — bathroom/kitchen necessities and then some! Some tradeoffs to be aware of: • There's a few steep stairs to get up to the apartment • The water's a bit funky (somewhat sulfurish smell) so we ended up using the bottled gallon of water Ron left us in the fridge and buying some more for our longer stay

Julie’s place is always immaculate, and she is super responsive and communicative. I have stayed here several times and consider it my home away from home whenever I’m in Rochester. The neighborhood is charming, and the restaurants within walking distance are wonderful, too! Can’t wait to come back next month!

Scott was very responsive and helpful, before and during the stay. His friendly demeanor made me feel comfortable to ask questions. The place was exactly as listed with beautiful views and Scott left great recommendations for places to go nearby. While the weather wasn’t as accommodating during my stay, I would love to come back when it is so I could enjoy all the amenities offered. Overall my friends and I had a great stay!

Third time here! Beautiful property - so quiet and peaceful with views for days! Beautiful well taken care of cabin- easy to feel right at home. Plenty to do in the area!

fire place ngl

always a treat to stay at Lisa's place, have stayed several times and will return.

What a lovely place!! It was so quiet and peaceful. I loved seeing some wildlife! Perfect for our little getaway in the woods.

Great place to visit. The host was super responsive and generously left fresh farm eggs for us! The place is cute and comfortable and on a farm. We booked this super last minute and they were beyond accommodating! Allowed flexible check out and was really helpful with local recommendations. The bed was really comfortable and the place was spotless. Only a 5 minute drive to Watkins glen! Highly recommend!!

Sarah was an excellent and informative host. She offered helpful tips and her cabin is clean, beautiful and tucked into the woods along the lake. Highly recommended! Thanks so mucy!

Joe's property exceeded all expectations by a mile. VERY comfy, cozy, and clean! As soon as we "checked in", we were wishing we'd reserved it for more than one night. Especially with all that the area has to offer. Very convenient to Hammondsport, Point of the Bluff Music venue/vineyard, and Bully Hill. There are few AirBnB properties that we've stayed, where we would have come just for the property, itself... this is one of them. Very well appointed... all the details have been thought of here, from the screened in porch, and the fireplace in the living area, to the quiet out-of-the-way space in the loft. As fairly new empty-nesters who now have more space than we know what to do with, as well as soon-to-be retirees, wifey and I agreed that we could see ourselves being quite content retiring in just such a space. Two thumbs up... way up!

Great, cosy cabin. Exceeded our expectations for a weekend getaway from Toronto. The cabin is clean and has nice amenities! If you're looking for a fun place to stay, this is it!
