About this property

Spacious Log Home Overlooking Canandaigua Lake! Pet Friendly!

(Disclosure: We cater to families and laid back vacationers. If you are looking for a party house, we would not be your destination. We want to maintain a peaceful and enjoyable environment for our guests as well as our neighbors).

Welcome to Lakeview Lodge! Canandaigua's best kept secret! This spacious rustic log home is tucked away on a private drive and sits on 3 1/2 wooded acres overlooking the beautiful and scenic crystal clear waters of Canandaigua Lake. On the main and second floor this home boasts 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths with 1 half bath, 2 large living areas,, and a spacious newly remodeled kitchen. With an additional queen size sofa bed in one of the living areas that make this a home perfect for a large family. There is also a full second kitchen in the basement along with a pool table room and also a great teen hang out room with IKEA furniture.
After a fun day at the lake or taking in one of the many local wineries or breweries enjoy a relaxing drink and take in the beautiful lake views on one of the two furnished covered porches. For cool evenings enjoy sitting on a beautiful flagstone patio with stone fire pit overlooking the lake and enjoy the breeze under the canopy of beautiful 60 foot trees.
For your furry four-legged family members their is a fenced side yard that will keep them close to you. As for the kids there is plenty of land to roam with a ravine and seasonal stream to work out all that excess energy. We are on a private drive with only two other houses and minimal traffic.
The gourmet kitchen has all of the amenities that you need to cook tasty meals including a commercial size grill for outdoor cooking.
If you don't feel like cooking there are plenty of wonderful restaurants and the New York Wine and Culinary School within five minutes of our home.
There is lake access to Onanda Park only a few miles away from our home which boasts areas for swimming, fishing, tennis, and hiking with waterfalls.
In the winter months after a long day of skiing at Bristol Mountain (only 11 miles away) wind down in the eight person Jacuzzi or sit by a crackling fire in one of the four custom wood burning fireplaces throughout the home, including the kitchen.
We are thrilled that you are considering a stay with us at Lakeview Lodge and look forward to spoiling you and making your stay a memorable one!
Although we do not have private lake access our house is just a short drive to several areas where there is lake access. One is only 1.2 miles from our front door and the other is 6 miles south of us! We are also only a short five minute drive to the pier where you can rent canoes, paddleboards, etc.
(7 night minimum is required during summer months)
Please feel free to call owners directly with any questions that you may have at 704-966-7221.

Sherrie Anderson

Beautiful place for a quiet getaway

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with our two dogs and baby. The place was very clean and we loved the spacious kitchen with amenities. Our favorite part was the fenced yard with hot tub and a grill. We spent most of our time there, letting the dogs run around and enjoying the beautiful trees and views on the porch. We had a wonderful stay, and we hope to return soon.

Relaxing vacation!

Our family utilized every bit of this property- plenty of room. Front porch was great in the early morning & fire pit was a great place to end the day. The new kitchen is beautiful & stocked with anything one could possibly need! Perfect location - quiet & out of the way, yet a short drive to the lake, Wegman's & Scoops! Sherrie is a wonderful host!

Wonderful, Cozy, Lakeview Cabin!

Our family just had a wonderful stay at this property for Thanksgiving. It was even better in person than in the pictures, which rarely, if ever, happens! There was ample room for our extended family and was perfect set-up for our family gathering. The brand new kitchen was a joy to cook in and had just about everything we could possibly need. Sherrie was wonderful to work with and the Christmas decorations were just the icing on the cake!

Fall Retreat

Our extended family of nine (and two dogs) enjoyed a November break here. The house had ample space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. The house has four fireplaces that make it ultra cosy! The hot tub was a bonus on cold mornings and clear nights. The host was extremely accommodating for our departure and arrival times and even ensured we had the right equipment with which to cook our turkey by shipping a new roasting pan. A very enjoyable stay with lots of space for the dogs to romp and roam!

Beautiful Retreat in the Finger Lakes Area!

This was our 2nd year at Lakeview Lodge and as always Sherrie is an excellent host! We love her home and enjoyed our time for our ladies wine weekend. All of the accommodations are very comfortable and welcoming. We had fun and relaxed with awesome views of nature and Canandaigua Lake. Some changes were made to the kitchen area and most of my girls realized and said wow what a nice change opening up more space in the kitchen and more seating for everyone. Love, love, love this place and plan on continuing to stay here for our annual wine weekend!

Fabulous Home in Canandaigua

We stayed from May 17 to May 22, 2016. The house offers plenty of room for our group of 12 male golfers. Near to several quality golf courses, yet still close enough to town to facilitate quick runs to stores, both food and drink. The large kitchen and dining area easily accommodated all of us at meal times. Beautiful grounds with a large fire pit area with lounge chairs, and a fantastic hot tub for the after-round aches and pains. The large outdoor deck with a huge propane BBQ allows for some lively evening conversations al fresco. Property is well kept and clean and requests for attention to minor issues were quickly dealt with. We are looking forward to our return visit, next year.

Wonderful Home for a Family Reunion

We stayed at Sherrie's Lakeview Lodge last weekend and had a wonderful time. Sherrie was helpful in making suggestions re: local points of interest, the directions were clear and she was immediately responsive to several specialized inquiries we made. The house was just as described. The lodge was clean and spacious, lending itself to large group family activities, but also offering a number of separate spaces to allow for board game playing, quiet reading, pool playing, "hot tubbing", and outdoor fire pit tending - all at the same time. The weather was lovely and coffee drinking on the front porch while watching the sun rise over the lake was a special memory. It is close to Bristol Mt. (less than 20 min. drive), a park for hiking (10 min. drive) and a great winery (15 minute drive). We hope to make our trip to the lodge an annual event!

Family Time Back East

The location of the Cabin was perfect for us, and we loved all the dog-friendly amenities for our 4-legged kids. Mu husband and I could take off right from the cabin for long road bike rides on quiet country roads, while our parents could drive 10 minutes to a wonderful park at the north end of Canandaigua Lake to walk by the lake-shore. We loved sitting on the lawn each morning enjoying the view of the lake, and being able to throw the ball for our dogs. We also loved how quiet the place was, as that is critical for us. We cooked in all but 1 night during our stay, as the renovated kitchen was just wonderful, and we also loved lighting a fire in one of the fireplaces during some of the evenings when Fall was in the air. Sherrie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was incredibly responsive, and even ordered a few things for the house that we needed, as soon as we asked for them. She is one of the best, if not the best, owner I've worked with when booking through this site! Thank you Sherrie!

Perfect for a family getaway!

We had a perfect stay with our family (7 adults, 2.5 yr old and a 10 month old). The house is large enough for everyone yet spread out enough with multiple living rooms to afford some privacy and quiet (important when with the kids). There is a lovely, relaxing hot tub outside under the trees, and an awesome tree swing that the kids greatly enjoyed. We also used the grill 3 nights for nice dinners at home with everyone. The beds were so comfortable and we woke up to a gorgeous sunrise over the lake. On one morning the sunrise even brought with it a family of deer on the front lawn. Truly idyllic! The location is absolutely perfect! Only 10 minutes into town, 2 minutes to German Brothers marina (where we rented a boat), 10 minutes to start the wine trail, 20 minutes to Bristol Mountain (aerial park adventures). Last but not least, the owner was just wonderful. Very attentive with great communication. She made us feel so welcome and was always there to call if I had a question. Overall, a wonderful property and perfect relaxing vacation spot!

This is a beautiful property overlooking the lake with a perfect view of the sunrise. We stayed with my mother-in-law (who was celebrating her 90th birthday), my daughter & son-in-law, and my brothers-in-law. There was plenty of room for everyone and a kitchen to fit all of us around the table for meals. The basement is huge and has a game room with a pool table along with a full kitchen and bathroom. It was a perfect place for our family birthday celebration. It was also nice to have a Wegmans close by to provide the buffet brunch. Perhaps the best thing for me was the fenced in yard which our little Zoe enjoyed while I sat on the porch with my coffee every morning. There was a change to the front door entry code but that was quickly resolved during check-in. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by SHERRIE LYNN ANDERSON

Host profile image
We were originally from Texas but moved here in 2001 and fell in love with the crystal clear lakes, rolling hills, and especially the four seasons and all the activities that are available here for all of them. We have 9 children and have poured our heart into this place and love sharing this special place with others. We hope that you will feel the Southern charm and hospitality that we want to share with you while you are there. Kids are completely welcomed and so is your dogs. Being a big family we realized that it is not easy to find places that can accommodate a large family or multiple families so we are glad to offer this spacious home to your family. Please let us know if you have any questions. We would love to tell you all about the area!
Blessings,
The Anderson Family

Why they chose this property

The view..the view...the view! And of course the log home has such a warm and homey feel. It's like bringing a little of the Adirondacks to the Finger Lakes! There is also more to do than you can imagine and wonderful shopping and dining.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing like waking up to beautiful sunrises peaking through the tall mature trees and sitting in the yard watching our kids play and explore. Love that we are hidden but only minutes away from Canandaigua's beautiful and historic main street!
