The cottages are quaint and just perfect for relaxing. The waterfront lot is flat and all set up if you want to read under the trees, sit around the fire or sit on the dock. The host couldn’t be more accommodating and you’re within a few miles of lakefront trail, village and Wegmans! Wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay

Sunset Cove was perfect for us. The two cozy cottages were stocked with everything we needed for our week in Canandaigua. Our two children (young adults) were there for a few days and stayed in one cottage while we were in the other. It was nice to have them so close, yet we both had our privacy. Our parents and friends visited too. It was a great place to sit back and watch the waves, sunsets, and make memories.

Canandaigua Lake

We had a great time, Canandaigua is a beautiful lake! The 2 cottages were the perfect setup for our family. The cottages and property are clean and well maintained. The back cottage is just off the road so there is road noise but the front cottage has a beautiful lake view. The owner lives right next door so if you need anything they are close. Awesome fireworks show by the neighbors on the 4th!

Wonderful Family Lake Vacation

We could not be happier with our stay. The two cottages are absolutely adorable — perfect for a family stay. The appointments are comfortable, the decor totally on point for a lake house, and they are stocked with everything you need — and if there are things you want, Wegmans, Walmart, and Big Lots are 5 minutes away. The owners and manager treat the property with love, and are available for any questions you might have. Easily a Five Star review. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back.

Cozy and classic cottages

We loved our stay on Canandaigua Lake. These were very cute cottages, cozy with and decorated with classic lake memorabilia. Both cottages have a nice enclosed porch with comfy chairs, tables and a view of the lake. The location is just a short drive into Canandaigua and an easy drive to all attractions, although the road is pretty busy. Our favorite part of the property was the large flat lawn with a fire pit by the water where we could make s'mores and watch the sunset.

Perfect cottages for a Canandaigua vacation

We had a wonderful visit on the shores of Canandaigua Lake. The cottages are adorable and very well equipped with all the amenities we could have asked for. We loved swimming at the private beachfront. The location is excellent, very close to the grocery store and anything else we needed. Mike and Toni are delightful hosts. They were available for any questions we had and we enjoyed chatting with them, while they also gave us our privacy. They take great care of the cottages and lakefront. We highly recommend these cottages for your vacation to Canandaigua.

Wonderful Cottages & Hosts

Our extended family returned to the cottages for a Family Reunion. Mike and Toni provided everything we needed and more! The cottages, dock, chairs, beach area and water were all well set up and well used. Mike and Toni thought of so many things and helped out when the unexpected happened: They hooked up one cottage to their generator when a storm knocked out power for 24 hours. They were very prepared and responsive hosts. We highly recommend the Sunset Cove cottages for a wonderful lake vacation!

A great experience

Our group of 7 had an incredible time staying here. The sunsets are unmatched and the atmosphere was so much fun. Having the two separate houses was actually a blessing and provided more than enough space. Communication with the owner Michael was easy and incredibly responsive. He took the time to show us around the property and answered any questions. A quick drive to Wegmans for groceries and German Bros Marina is right across for easy access to rental boats. 10/10 Would reccommend and stay again.

Anniversary at the Lakehouse

My husband and I spent 5 days at this charming lake house for our anniversary. We found the place to be very clean and orderly. We felt the owners had provided everything we could possible need to make our stay pleasant and care-free. The owner was very friendly and great to work with. He checked in on us at the beginning of our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The location was amazing! The lake is gorgeous and the lake house is located about 3 miles from Wegmans grocery store. We loved sitting at the table on the porch in the morning looking at the lake while drinking our coffee. The sunsets at night were spectacular! We would highly recommend this lake house for your next getaway!

Great property with unique setup

This property is perfect for multiple families or a multi-generation family. There's plenty of opportunity to spend time together, with the option to have some privacy as well. Both cottages offer two bedrooms and ample, comfortable living areas. Each also has its own kitchen albeit of limited size and counter space. The outside area really shines. Right on the lake, with plenty of seating, picnic tables, a fire pit and a full dock. Perfect for enjoying spectacular views and sunsets. While the cottages are on a main road, the lakeside area seems isolated and private. And that main road leads to easy access to shopping, dining, family activities, and more. The owner is easy to get ahold of and quick to respond to any questions or requests. A great place for a FLX getaway!

Best spot on the Lake!

My husband and I have been staying at this wonderful lakeside property for the past 5 years and look forward to our return every year. We have stayed in both cottages: the lakefront and the one behind. Both are equally comfortable with screened in porches. The hosts are truly amazing people, whom we've grown to love over our stays at Lake Canandaigua. We most enjoyed the early mornings out on the dock having coffee just looking out at the lake as the sun came up.The serene surroundings and the beauty of the lake really give you the opportunity to detach from the real world and be on vacation. The accommodations were more than ideal having the washer and dryer on site. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen, living room and bathroom were all clean, which is saying a lot coming from me, who slightly obsesses over cleanliness. The kitchen had a coffee pot and was stocked with everything we could possibly need. We spent most of our days swimming off the dock, using the paddle boat on site. We also rented a boat and a kayak and spent the day at Kershaw with friends snorkeling and swimming in the lake. The water is so clear and clean - we actually saw huge carpe swimming under the dock! It was surreal. The days we needed a break from the sun, we head over to the New York Wine and Culinary Center. We enjoyed the wine tastings while our friends sampled the scotches, and we always pick up a case of wine to enjoy at home. The center offers wine and food pairing classes and many other events as well. Personally, I could spend the entire time in the amazing gift shop; it is superb. We also love to head over to the nearby race track and place a few bets. You can get up close to see the horses which we really enjoyed. There is also a casino at the race track. We are always sad to see our time on the lake come to an end. The owners went above and beyond to be sure our stay was more than comfortable. They made some great restaurant suggestions and let us know about fireworks around the lake on the Fourth of July. Overall, we felt they were very nice, down to earth people that helped make our vacation at the lake so much more memorable. We’ve recommended these cottages to some friends and they are also huge fans of this property on Lake Canandaigua. Two thumbs up.
