We want to know that you enjoyed your stay...that you came away loving your time in Canandaigua...that your visit was filled with love and laughter, family and friends or spent the time planning your next stellar year of your life. Come enjoy our 3/4 window based+- home with a master bedroom with star gazing windows...kayaks... gourmet kitchen with Bertazonni convection oven perfect for baking bread/delicious meal, seasonal: infinity lounge/Adirondack chairs at our private waterfront, outdoor dining area/grill and more. Our private terraces welcome your stay where you can work, read, swim/fish comfortably from our dock, play our baby grand piano, board games/ping pong or human tic tack toe game or watch tv/movies etc. This living room area was recently planned by an interior decorator making each sitting area loved by the user(s) and what they are doing at the time. We have other sleeping areas and your reservation should let the host know how many individual guests will be entering the property. Our home is 30 feet from the water and our lake level room is about lake level. Our closest grocery is about 3 miles from the home but just a mile farther you find a plethora of wonderful restaurants, Main Street shops, performing arts center, CMAC, churches/hospital and more. We have lots of energy in/around Canandaigua...with a water park/aerial skiing+-, adventure park at Bristol Mountain which also hosts wonderful winter skiing/snowboarding etc. I love the plethora of hiking and bicycling locations for all levels whether you are strolling from the house or by the historical boat houses on the pier, riding a road or mountain bicycle. Bicycles/Boats are rented in town near Frequentem, Seager's/Sutters/German Brothers Marina. Our waterfront: is private with Chiminea/fire pit. There are about 6 seasonal stairs into the water. Water ranges about 1-5 foot from one end to the other side of the dock depending on season. Clear water to see bottom of the lake usually. Not recommended to go into the water past Sept 15 - Memorial Day becuase cold water can cause hypothermia. Do not swim alone off myu property (a/k/a siwm with a buddy and adults must supervise kids or peopel with less swimming experience).
NOTE: Pricing $300 and under per room means that you have access to one bedroom and one master bathroom for your stay with 2 guests only We count children as a full guest and we/the Town Ordinance allows for 2 people maximum sleeping per bedroom. We do no not have any couches available for sleeping on at this time.
