About this property

Canandaigua lakefront home with Incredible access to water, village and fun!

Beautiful views from the massive deck, 100 feet of pristine lake front and a full acre of private paradise on the northwest side of Canandaigua Lake. Spacious one-floor home with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and up-to-date interior, offers guests pure enjoyment throughout the inside and outside of this waterfront gem. Dock and shallow water! Enjoy the added pleasure of the lakeside hot tub for those tranquil evenings. This home is in a perfect location with the luxury of lakefront coupled with proximity to the historical village of Canandaigua & retail shopping/restaurants. 20 minutes from Bristol Mountain. Great living space and an 800 sq ft deck with expansive views including Squaw Island and the Canandaigua Pier. Wonderful fireplace, forced air heat and secluded setting while being close to all of the town’s amenities. Paved and cleared road/driveway for winter getaways. Plenty of firewood. Less than five minutes from the bustling Town of Canandaigua. Great home to visit breweries and wineries in the Finger Lake region.

August 24 Family vacation
This is a great house. Beautiful views. My family (and extended family) rented this house in the first week of August 2024. The house is terrific. When we got there there was a tremendous amount of seaweed in the water. So much so we did not even get into the water off the dock. Also at this end of the lake, there is a lot of silt. Who knew? So if you go in the shallow end you quickly are above your ankles in Silt. Really bad.

Perfect House
I have only great things to say about this house, property, and location! The house itself was so nice and clean, and perfectly laid out for 2 families to stay in. The backyard and deck were clean and had ample chairs and tables to use. The lake is beautiful and we made good use of the kayaks and paddleboard that were available to use. The hot tub with a perfect view of the lake was also a big hit! It was also very nice to have an outdoor grill to use. The location is great too - very short drive into town and wineries and breweries nearby. We had a wonderful time there and hope to go back!

Beautiful Lake House
This property is beautiful. Well kept, clean, and the views are spectacular. We rented for a long weekend for graduation at RIT plus birthdays and Mothers Day. Had many events for the graduation that we didnt get to enjoy many amenities at the house like the hot tub or kayaks/paddleboards but they are available. Definitely recommend this location to anyone visiting the Finger Lakes region. It is a gem.

Great house!
Beautiful home on the water. Backyard with fire pit was great and the deck is huge with a great view of the lake. Super convenient to town yet still very private. House is very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable and the layout was good for our family. Lake was great for kayaking and the runners in the family loved running on West Lake Rd. (plenty of hills)

Beautiful Graduation Getaway
Enjoyed a very nice RIT graduation weekend at the Gilberts lake house on Canandaigua. The home is in a beautiful setting with mature trees, and lots of parking, lakefront and lawn. We enjoyed the lake views and many amenities of the property, including kayaks, hot tub, fire pit and indoor fireplace. The owners were quick to respond to all our questions- they were great hosts. We would love to stay here again.

Wonderful home
This was one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. The home was exceptionally clean and had every thing we could have possibly needed or wanted. Furniture and beds were comfortable, extra blankets were easily accessible, and the kitchen and bathrooms had all the staples I could have imagined. The view was great for beautiful sunrises and the location was convenient for a day trip to Niagara Falls. Would return in a heartbeat.

Perfect family spot on the lake
Great location:right near town and right on the lake. With great views of the lake, the house appears to have been recently updated and very comfortably accommodated our family of 5. We enjoyed some time in the hot tub and taking the kayaks out on the lake.

Beautiful home
The home is beautiful and the photos are accurate. Going during the colder months we got to enjoy the fireplace and they provided lots of wood! The home is absolutely clean and well cared for. All furniture is comfortable and the jacuzzi is just close enough to run in and out for during a snow fall! Owners quickly respond, are courteous, and seem to genuinely care about your stay. We loved it so much we booked again!

Beautiful home, great view!
Very clean, comfortable home. The weather was wet most of our stay so we didn't enjoy the outdoor areas as much as we would have liked, except the hot tub which was great. But the deck would be awesome in good weather and the view of the lake is fantastic. Short drive to town, so convenient for groceries, restaurants, etc. Well stocked kitchen. I liked that there is a gas stove and a good set of knives (just something to consider if you cook a lot). Communication with the owner was excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

Great family getaway
What a great house in a beautiful location! We celebrated Thanksgiving and a major birthday for my wife with our three sons. The house was the perfect location both to celebrate the holiday and birthday and to explore the many offerings of the area. It has a nice open plan with two sitting areas and everything was convenient. Bad weather interfered with some of our plans in the region so it was a nice consolation to come back to the great fireplace (with more than enough wood provided) and the awesome hot tub. Wonderful experience!

Great property, beautiful location.
Instructions for check-in were clear and easy to follow. Property is beautiful and percect for a small family or a grown-up get-a-way. Once all the grandkids got there, it got small very fast, but we managed. I am sure in the summertime when most activities are outside, it would be fine. Hot tub was great and spacious. The house is styled in white and blues, so make sure little fingers and food stays in the kitchen, which is easy, since there is a big eat in penisula. Overall, a great experience. Had to ask for the check-in instructions, which were not available by 3pm, but owner responded promptly and we were all set by the time we arrived. Would highly recommend.

We had a great time and the family wants to get together every fall. The house has a great layout and was clean as a whistle. The deck is spacious and private and works well for eating outdoors. Located close to town, Wegmans, Starbucks and Rochester (for sightseeing, The Eastman House was fabulous). Eric recommended several EXCELLENT restaurants nearby that we all thoroughly enjoyed.
