We are blessed with a great family of grown children, grandchildren and a large extended family. The major reason we bought our cottage was for gatherings of family and friends. Throughout our married life, we have traveled to many places. We've been to Mongolia, China, England, South Africa while family members lived there. We have also been to several Caribbean countries and many states. It's such a beautiful world, people are so interesting, and food is fun to explore! If we never traveled outside of New York state, though, we would be very happy too. Since we purchased the cottage, we are very content to spend a lot of time at Honeoye Lake. Yvonne was a high school English teacher for 22 years in a local district. She enjoyed it very much and is still teaching in retirement in a different way--to her grandchildren. Terry worked in skilled trades, testing units for today's cars. He has retired from that profession but still maintains a part-time job that allows him to work with older people on a weekly basis.

My husband traveled to Honeoye Lake in the Finger Lakes region to visit a friend several years ago and fell in love with the area. When I spoke to him about looking for a cottage just a few years ago, he wanted to look at Honeoye Lake again because of that experience. We visited several cottages but ours fits us to a tee. It is lakefront with knotty pine and an open floor plan. We looked at very modern cottages, worn out cottages, and those with authentic charm. Our cottage has the charm that we love. It's perfect for a couple, a small gathering of friends, or a family vacation. Honeoye is nestled at the base of Bristol Hills. From our cottage, you can see much of the length of the lake and the hills that surround the area. A short trip up any direction will show you the beauty of the area with hiking trails, farm country, and even a couple of state parks: Harriet Hollister Recreation Area; Grimes Glen State Park; Letchworth State Park.

Our cottage provides room to move in its open plan giving guests a gorgeous view of the lake come rain or come shine. Honeoye Lake is at the Bristol foothills. You have the advantage of being on water yet feeling like the mountains are all around, because the lake is in a small valley and the vista changes seasonally. The lake is shallow (32 feet at its deepest) so it is warm enough to swim in most of the summer unlike deep lakes that remain cold. There ARE weeds in the lake because it's shallow, so expect that when fishing. Most of our guests have told us that it makes for good fishing since fish like the protection of vegetation. We have weed mats in our little cove making swimming there very pleasant and, if the weeds get thick, we also rake them away so that you will not be hindered by them. Please wear water shoes, because we have zebra mussels. It's a great lake for recreational boating or fishing. Or, just gazing at it while releasing all the tensions away.
