Beautiful Timber-Frame Cottage - Canandaigua Lake

What a great spot for our families to meet! With 6 adults and 4 young kids (Ages 1,2,5 &5), we were so thrilled with all that this house had to offer us during our three days there. There were plenty of toys/puzzles/games for the kids, and it was well set up for cooking big meals while enjoying the views of the lake. The kids loved the bunk bed set up in the downstairs bedroom. There were plenty of local farm stands on our drive to the house, and great local wine. We went to Naples for the Grape Festival, which was busy, but fun, but really - the house itself was where we wanted to be. Our kids enjoyed rolling down the hill in the backyard, going for row boat rides, swinging on the hammock by the beach, and throwing rocks into the water. Although it was a bit cold for swimming, we let the kids romp around in the water for a while, as the beach had a nice shallow entry. The big kids took long walks along the road, and cycled the local, but hilly roads. It was really perfect. Just remember to bring your own towels :) - I missed that detail, but fortunately Mark was gracious enough to lend us some. We hope to come back in the future!

We completely enjoyed our family vacation at Evergreen on Canandaigua Lake. The house is perfect for a large family. We had 8-10 there during the week. We spent a lot of time on the dock enjoying the water. In the evening there is plenty of room inside for family fun and games. Some of the group went to a concert at the Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center. All of us enjoyed our dinner at Bristol Harbor. We would love to come back.

Stayed for a week with extended family in early June of 2016 (8 to 10 at times). The house is very comfortably furnished and with plenty of room for that many guests and still some areas to enjoy the quiet even with a full house. Everything functioned perfectly in this well maintained property and the location and view is outstanding. We were able to fish from the dock, rent and easily dock a boat, enjoy the evening camp fires by the lake and get out for a wine tasting tour in close by Naples. The screened porch was perfect for morning coffee and the kitchen had everything we needed to eat in every day. It was a big hit with everyone. Highly recommended !!

This was our third time back, and I think I've appreciated the house more each time. It really is so well appointed and such a great set-up for accommodating different combinations of people (singles, couples, disparate ages, etc.). The house is also extremely well-equipped, and the owner super responsive for whatever issues may arise. But bottom line, the house makes the beauty and magic of the lake available for full enjoyment. Highly recommend!

We used this house for a week-long family reunion, with daytime visits by friends who live in the area. It was perfect. The house was immaculate, and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. The large windows offer spectacular views of the lake; the living area is spacious and comfortable. The modern kitchen and large dining table were also a boon. The owner was very responsive to any questions that arose. The screen-in porch was perfect for working on puzzles; the upstairs loft and balcony excellent for quiet and reading. The desk in the master bedroom came in handy for those who could not completely escape work, and we all enjoyed our campfires in the large fire pit down by the water and playing badmitten on the grassy lawn behind the house. The property is perfectly located on the lake -- a beautiful spot with easy access to local attractions and downtown. The bedroom configurations offered many options for our diverse group.
