About this cottage rental
Centrally located for day trips into Naples, Canandaigua, Rochester and the extremely popular wine and beer trails of the Finger Lakes; one getaway at The North Star of Honeoye will capture your family's heart. Discover the scenic beauty of Honeoye Lake and enjoy being just minutes from town, walking through nature trails, and a location adjacent to Sandy Bottom Park.
Inside, you will be greeted with beautiful lake views shining from the lake side of the house. Immediately to your right, the gorgeous first floor bath with tiled shower is easily accessible to first floor guests. Just past the entryway, the first floor bedrooms are both newly remodeled, and decorated with comfort and luxury in mind. Each bedroom offers a garden view and welcomed retreat in the evening.
Just past the first floor bedrooms, lake views boast through expansive windows of the open kitchen and living area. A beautifully built gas, stone fireplace with custom mantle acts as a focal point to this grand room. The plush leather sectional adds a relaxing place to build a puzzle as a family, or visit as the chefs in the kitchen prepare your groups favorite meals.
The kitchen offers custom built, local cabinetry, glass tile back splash and beautiful granite counter tops. The newly built island offers a great spot for meal prep, and doubles as the perfect breakfast bar.
A formal dining area just off the kitchen offers a large wooden farmhouse table; perfect for family dining. Entertaining is a breeze with this perfectly decorated space. French doors open up to the fully covered porch to let the outside in.
Upstairs, two master bedrooms offer the perfect retreat with the best views in the house. Exquisite panoramic views greet you each morning as the sun shines through the large windows. A semi-private fifth bedroom offers additional bunk bed sleeping. Completing the second floor, you'll find the second full bath.
Outside, a beautiful covered patio is filled with opportunity for entertainment and relaxation. Plenty of comfortable seating is available to encourage lingering conversations while enjoying the lake view. The fun doesn't stop there! The previously used boat house has been converted into a game room for your enjoyment. Rain or shine, pull open the bay and enjoy fun filled afternoons with friends and family - lake views and all.
Stop at a local roadside stand on your many Finger Lakes day trips and grab a bundle of wood. The lakeside firepit is the most ideal way to end any day at the lake. Build a fire, roast a marshmallow, and toast with your favorite glass of Finger Lakes wine while planning tomorrow's adventures, or talking of the memories made today.
Fun and opportunity are everywhere you look. Adventures are plenty whether you've booked the pavilion next door at Sandy Beach Park for a wedding, or family reunion, you've come to ski at Hunt Hollow or Bristol Harbor, or your plan is to taste wine at some of the nearby wineries like Hazlitt's Red Cat Cellars in Naples, NY. One stay at The North Star of Honeoye will have your vacation planned for years to come. Call and make your reservation today!

The property was well kept and well situated. Unfortunately the weather was not good so we lost several days to the effects of a tropical storm. Also the marina opened at 9:00 instead of earlier which would have been more convenient. The property had a nice dock and a great view of the lake.

We were very impressed with this property. It had great water access, for swimming, fishing, boating etc. The kids and adults enjoyed the boat house/game room.
Our only issue was a question about the garbage, there was overflowing cans when we got there. I called maintenance and it was picked up, but the recycle was not. The directions said garbage day was Thursday , but nothing was picked up, so the people after us will be stuck with our garbage. But everything else was great, the little ones loved being close to the park for swings and climbing toys. I walked the Nature Trail every morning to start my day.

North Star was lovely well maintained. With two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, it provided convenience and privacy. The house is situated on the beautiful Honeoye Lake and next to a park with a walking trail into the town containing shops and restaurants.
We definitely will book another vacation at North Star.

This property is perfect to bring family together. The house is spacious, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the house is stocked with everything you need for a weekend of family fun. The kitchen has every thing you need to cook as a family and the dining room does seat 12 comfortably. The game room in the garage is fun for the whole family. The view, nature walks, and animal sights kept us entertained. This is our second time this year in this house and we can’t wait to go back.

We were here for a ski trip- location was perfect- love that it was so close to town- views of the lake were amazing. House had everything we needed. Also love that the two families had their separate space for rooms.

Aside from the bad luck of no ice, our family ice fishing trip was perfect in regards to the house. Parking and access was ideal even for the older folks, and the layout of the house was perfect for our group and our interests.

We would definitely stay here again and have already told friends about the property. Thank you for a wonderful get away weekend!!!

Overall this place ticked all of our boxes. There was enough room for 12 of us, there were many areas to hang out (all with great views of the lake), and the boathouse with it's amenities was perfect. We liked being near to the beach and the pickle ball court and the short nature hike to main street. There was a lot of grass in the entire lake so in my opinion not great swimming - but the house met all of our expectations and the host was awesome.

We had a wonderful time, slept 12 people for a night. We had our jet skis and rented a boat so the dock was perfect. We all had a fire every night and cooked s’mores, hobo pies,etc, star watched and met a friendly heron we named Hank. We’d all love to go back next year.

Our family had an amazing stay! Our family ranges in ages from 11 to 93!! We had one issue that was resolved immediately by the property management company. The memories we made here will last us a lifetime!

Property was beautiful and had something for each of us with the boating, fishing, playground and beach a short walk away. Great to have a washer & dryer on premise to wash towels etc. Our family loved the pool table, pac-man game , air hockey, etc that was located in the garage-nice on rainy days and in the evening. .Only problem we encountered was the garbage pickup. Both totes were full when we arrived and thank goodness pickup was on Tuesday and not the Thursday listed on our packet. Hope to stay again.

This was a nice house and location. Very clean, nicely decorated, well stocked. Porch and fire pit area great places to relax. Nice location near a beach and walking trail. Cool game garage.
Going through Finger Lakes Premier properties was very confusing. Our air conditioning and hot water didn't work upon arrival. We couldn't use the kitchen for the first night because of the heat. There were many emails, phone numbers, contacts to communicate with. After sending numerous messages, I was recommended not to use the VRBO app when they responses the next day. Our solutions were resolved, but I wanted to give other renters a heads up that going through this rental company is a different experience.

Honeoye Stay
I used this beautiful house as our "home away from home" for my best friend's bachelorette weekend getaway. We had an amazing experience. It was a stunning house in a quiet location. The perfect spot to sit by the fire, play some games, and relax. We also hit up some local breweries which were located close to the house. All in all, a great time was had by all. I would highly recommend this house to others.

Fantastic Lake house! Beautiful setting, and views! Fun for all ages!
Our family had a wonderful time! Lake access was unbeatable! The arcade/garage was perfect for the teenagers to hang out in, separate from the adults who hung out in the main house. There was plenty of room to spread out. Sitting by the fire pit in the evenings was one of the best parts! We went in mid April, for an Easter family get away, so it was a bit chilly for getting on the lake but we plan to be back during the warmer months and really take advantage of the amenities and lake access here! It was just perfect!

Girls Weekend
The house and the location was superb! We were not able to get the electric fireplace lit (no big deal) and there was a intermittent tapping sound in the main bedroom coming from the corner right wall (maybe from the base board heating system. We will be back!!!!

Girl’s Getaway
Had a wonderful weekend at the North Star of Honeoye! Our group of 8 enjoyed this beautiful house at the end of the lake. The view of the lake from the backyard was just gorgeous. We enjoyed time near the fire pit and playing with the games in the garage when outside. Inside, the huge kitchen island was perfect for setting up snacks, meal preparation and seating area. The open floor plan to the huge sectional and gas fireplace in the living room was perfect for our group. The large dining room and table was ideal for meals and playing games. On Saturday we drove 20 minutes to Naples and visited Inspire Moore Winery, Joseph’s Wayside Market and a roadside stand for a grape pie. We are planning a return visit next year.

BEST. VACATION. EVER.
From the moment we booked this property through our arrival and departure, it was a dream come true. The house is at the end of a lovely street, right next to a beautiful park with a beach and nature trail. It is a gorgeous house with a game room that sits next to the house that had a pool table, video games, air hockey and more. We kayaked, boated, hung out on the private dock, saw fireflies, muskrats, deer, birds, bunnies and even had our own little chipmunk who visited us every morning as we sat outside and enjoyed our breakfast. We got all kinds of weather, from thunderstorms to clear skies and the rainbows were incredible. We took a day trip to Niagara Falls and Lake Geneva and a boat ride on Conesus. We were so sad to leave.
The house fit all 8 of us perfectly, and it was spotless. We loved it so much we stopped by a real estate office and inquired about lake front properties. Thank you so much for hosting us and making this a vacation to remember. We loved it!!!!!

Great spot
The kids loved the games room and great access to the lake with kayaks/paddle boards provided. Able to walk around the nature reserve and into town. Playground and tennis courts/basketball court right beside house. Enjoyed visiting the local wineries and breweries especially Eagle Crest.

The Perfect Lake Getaway
We could not have been more pleased with our visit! The house comes with everything you could need to enjoy the lake. With it's own dock, we were able to rent a boat for our visit and use it leisurely. We also had access to 2 kayaks, a canoe, and 2 paddle boards. The home is kept exceptionally clean and had full sets of linens and towels for everyone. My only suggestion would be to also pack beach towels if you are visiting (although me never needed them due to a heatwave during our time there).The air conditioning worked well, even on 90+ degree days. The patio provides a nice shaded area with a great view of the lake, and we loved using the fire pit at night. The beds were comfortable and fit our party of 12 perfectly. Everyone in our group said they would rent this location again. Easily a 10 out of 10!

Beautiful location, clean and updated house, was perfect for our family getaway!
This property is now on our list of favorite rentals! It was perfect for our family getaway. The house was meticulously clean and well-maintained. We had plenty of space to spread out, and especially loved the game room on the water! We were very happy that the kayaks were there so we could take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather.
The linens were soft and high-quality, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The downstairs shower was pure heaven, we all ended up using it!
There were a couple of things that took away from the trip a bit. I’m pretty sure the owners couldn’t have done anything about them, but are probably worth noting for future renters. It was very windy for most of the trip - the wind was coming from the south right up the lake towards us. It made it challenging to fully enjoy the outdoors. I’m not sure if this is a consistent thing, or just the weather pattern at the time. Secondly, there were a TON of little tiny bugs. They didn’t bite, but they were impossible to avoid outside, and some came inside. Not a huge deal, but definitely annoying to deal with.
With that said, we had a wonderful time at the North Star and look forward to returning soon!!

Cozy Winter Getaway
Had a great stay at Honeoye lake! Our friends enjoyed skiing over at Bristol mountain during the day and catching up by the fire at night.

Wonderful place. Quiet neighborhood, lovely comfortable home. We especially enjoyed the pool table and cozy gas fireplace area. A bit too cold for us to go on the water but it was lovely sitting next to the lake. Views from house were terrific. Excellent small brewery in town, and good grocery store for basics, so meals were easy. Also next to park with lovely nature trail. Great get away!
