About this property

Private! Unique Lake Front Cottage. Heron Cove Sanctuary, Beauty & Peace!

Commanding a private cove, our upgraded cottage is tucked over a bridge at the end of the road -- the only house in 500' of hillside lake front, next to a waterfall and two running streams. Peaceful. Lots of good water. Wrap-around views and privacy .... on the empty end of the big beautiful lake.

Lovely walks and the water right outside your door, plus attractions, recreation and services nearby. Swim in the lake, soak in the outdoor hot tub. The cottage has a peaceful open plan with a cozy wood fireplace. Great outdoor recreation - year around - nearby.

Yes, there is WiFi .... but we recommend against it. Instead, Unplug .... and Recharge. Reconnect with who is important.

Catch your breath in our Sanctuary: your scenic private spot, a world apart.

I cannot say enough about how amazing this cottage was. Check-in was easy. The place was spotless, well equipped and comfortable. The view was breathtaking. We enjoyed the hot tub but could not use the kayaks because the water was very choppy. It was a wonderful get away and we are hoping to come back again.

Lake View

Amazing views, really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and hot tub. Very quiet area, I would stay there again. Close to a couple of wineries but ensure you stop at Plenty Bakery for a cinnamon roll. Again a great time and cottage.

House was extremely clean. Property was secluded & beautiful. We had a great time kayaking right off the property. Our dog enjoyed the water immensely, couldn't keep him out of the water. Only minor issue was the 2 cup coffee maker. We missed a big one.

Amazing Honeymoon Spot!

This was the perfect little cottage for my honeymoon. So relaxing, and you can hear the waves right from inside the cottage! My husband and I stayed very cozy by the fireplace when it got cold in the evening, and loved getting to use the many different boats available! We would definitely recommend this place, and are looking forward to visiting again!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
This was our family's summer place when we were growing up in Rochester. It's always been peaceful and beautiful, and always will be. Every summer day our dad would commute into the city, while we kiddies played in the lake and romped in rustic isolation. It still is our family's special place - after our mom died, my brother and I decided to buy it,and rent it out so we can afford to keep it in the family. We renovated and completely upgraded, adding amenities like a nice new kitchen, new furniture, & the hot tub. Our goal was to make the house as nice as the location. We hope that other like-minded folks will discover it, and enjoy it, the way we always have and hope to continue to.

Why they chose this property

Canandaigua lake is awesome. It's in our blood. Our cottage is unique - it doesn't have nearby neighbors. When you visit it is just beautiful and peaceful. The water is right outside the picture windows and is pure - the lake is the drinking water source for a few surrounding cities. Whether you are contemplating the ten mile view up the lake from the porch, watching the clouds shift over the mountains on the far shore or suspended under the cool, clear water .... it's special.

What makes this property unique

It's a unique location - like none other on a lake that is like none other. Great walks, amazing birds, swimming, napping - it's restorative. NOT A PARTY PLACE. No power boats or jet skis - we ask that you join us in living lightly on the land and protecting the special water. If you want peace and calm - you'll love it.
