Braeloch Lodge - Canandaigua lakefront timberframe w/ breathtaking views, spa

Brand new in 2024, Braeloch Lodge is a 5 bedroom, 5 bath, 4400 sq ft timberframe that offers breathtaking views of Canandaigua lake from sunrise to sunset. Enhanced by the backdrop of the surrounding Bare Hill mountain range, many have stated the views here are as good as any they have seen throughout the Finger Lakes, if not all of New York State - but we invite you to see for yourself!

Drive down the 1/2 mile picturesque Blackberry Drive and upon arrival, walk or ride down one flight of stairs from the parking area to access the main entrance to the house. Inside, you will first enter into a 1800 sq ft open floor plan with lake views that will immediately validate your decision to choose Braeloch. On this main floor is full chef's kitchen w/ Viking stove and 8' island, wet bar and great room with 30' ceiling w/ exposed timbers, fireplace, and tables for games and entertaining. Off the great room, you can access the primary bedroom with fireplace, cathedral ceiling, private bath and secluded deck.

Upstairs is a spacious loft with a reading and playing area, along with a 2nd bedroom with private full bath. Downstairs you will find another 1800 sq feet including a 500 sq ft game room where you can play ping pong, bumper pool, shuffleboard, or spend some time playing Ms Pac Man or Centipede on a vintage restored Arcade from the 80's. (no quarters required!) Surrounding the game room are 3 more bedrooms, 2 more full baths, and the laundry room with washer and dryer. (Fun fact: There is also a secret room in the house for the kids to discover and enjoy.) All told there are 4 bedrooms that each can have their own full bath and a 5th bunk room that can share one of the baths.

Outside you can enjoy time on the upper or lower deck, play pickle ball, hike, enjoy the Strong spa, or take the tram down to the lake to enjoy time swimming, fishing, or relaxing on the new permanent dock with swim platform, or enjoy the views from the spa. Bring or rent a boat from a local marina if desired.

The house has many areas to gather together, but also a number of more private spots for reading and relaxing - from the private deck off the primary bedroom, to the reading area in the loft, or down to the water's edge for some sunshine and solitude. A firepit is available for late night campfires.

If you care to venture off property, you are literally minutes away from the award winning Finger Lakes wine region, hikes, great coffee shops, roadside farm stands, berry picking, bakeries, distilleries, breweries, and restaurants with outdoor concerts and festivals all summer long. The city of Canandaigua is 11 miles to the north and the quaint bustling town of Naples is 7 miles to the south. Bristol Mountain (1100' vertical) is just 5 miles up the road, and offers over 100 days of skiing Nov-March. (4WD required in winter!) The beautiful Reservoir Creek golf course is just down the road in Naples. Venture a little farther and you can easily hit the Keuka Lake and Seneca Lake wine trails, along with antique and unique boutique shops, museums and outdoor concerts. For those avid cyclists and runners, Braeloch Lodge is nestled in the heart of the Bristol Hills, offering some of the most challenging and rewarding on road and off road cycling terrain in the state. The driveway (Blackberry Drive) literally connects to legendary Bopple Hill Rd, the most famous climb in the region.

Braeloch Lodge offer you space to enjoy family, nature, swimming, fishing or just relaxing - a opportunity to disconnect from the everyday grind and reconnect with family and friends while you enjoy the solitude and splendor of Canandaigua Lake and the beauty of God's creation.
