About this property
Canandaigua Lake Waterfront Cottage
Come enjoy Canandaigua Lake! Our wide porches, brand new dock, fire pits, beach, large yard and quiet area compliment this comfortable circa 1938 waterfront cottage.
This cottage offers 1800 square feet of living space, a wide porch including one screened-in porch for lounging/dining/sleeping space for youth, a large family room, a large sun room, five cozy bedrooms with plenty of storage space, two bathrooms, an updated kitchen, a full-sized washer and dryer and wood burning fireplace.
Water
Cottage water comes from a shore well with UV light and is fine for bathing and showering but in the summer time there is NO supply of potable water available so we leave several gallons of drinking water for guests.
Waterfront
The waterfront area has many different spaces to relax and enjoy including: two outdoor picnic tables for open-air meals and card games, eight large Adirondack chairs at the beach, seven Adirondack chairs on the upper level and six additional lounge chairs, beach and cottage level fire pits and a charcoal grill on the upper level.
Located on a quiet, country road near the hamlet of Vine Valley, the DeMarco cottage offers the calm pace and stunning vistas for which the Finger Lakes are famous. Yet the delightful towns of Canandaigua and Naples are within a 20 minute drive, offering restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, wineries and unique local shops.
Fun-filled lake days, breathtaking sunsets, calm breezes and water sounds - The DeMarco cottage offers your family a great place to make memories that will last a lifetime!
Guest Access
Guests with have access to the entire home, beach and outdoor areas. Extra amenities include: kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, toys, rope swing and all household necessities.
The Neighborhood
Friendly neighbors, a quiet street, nearby villages and local farmers - the Finger Lakes, and particularly our section of it in Vine Valley, Middlesex, are known for world class wineries, locally made beers and is one of New York State's most successful and diverse agricultural areas. From food, to wine, to shopping, to solitude, the Finger Lakes truly offers something special for everyone!
Other Things to Note
If you would like to explore beyond the lake, there are many fun areas within an hour's drive. Visit nearby attractions and state parks including: Finger Lakes Wine Trails, CMAC concerts, New York Wine & Culinary Center, Letchworth State Park, Watkins Glen State Park, Stoneybrook State Park, Sonnernberg Gardens, Bristol Mountain and so much more!
House Rules
This is our family vacation home so please treat it as you would treat your own - with care, love and respect. We hope you will return for many more years of fun and memory-making!
