Great house, fantastic location! It was wonderful to rent the boat from the owner as well. Lots of towels available and the two washers and dryers were amazing!
The frying pans in the kitchen need to be replaced because they are all non stick and are scratched so they are not healthy to use.
The house sleeps 20 but there is only dining room seating for 8 to 10. Luckily we brought a large folding table and the house had folding chairs but it would be great if they had another table at the house.
Overall, it’s an excellent VRBO! Thanks for a great stay!

We had lots of room to spread out and space to gather. We’d love to come back in the summer months and boat around.

The number of bedrooms was great. Would have been nice to have one of the bedrooms have a bathroom attached but we made do sharing the hall bathroom. The basement was great for the kids and the dock looked very nice too (we were winter renters so did not use). The only negatives for us was that for a home that sleeps 20, we would have liked at least one cupboard for food. We had to put everything on the counter and so we didn't have any prep room other than the island and that was also the stovetop so not much to work with. We like to cook and eat in a lot so , for some, this wouldn't have been a problem. There were two large refrigerators and so that was great having two for the drinks and things that need to be refrigerated. One other thing that would have been nice, is to have small garbage cans in the bathrooms and bedrooms. None of them had any and so you had to carry tissues, , wrappers, etc. out to the kitchen garbage. All in all, a great stay :)

Spacious and beautiful house on the lake. Perfect for a group of women who needed a ton of space and multiple bathrooms. Perfect event space for our gathering, and close to breweries and wineries.
4.8
Beds comfortable, plenty of dishes and glassware. Only negative is it needs a new larger skillet.
Sadly weather was not cooperative.

We were in town for a wedding. A large group of family members stayed at the house. It was perfect for everyone. Plenty of space. The property was well maintained. The dock was awesome and having the boat access was a nice feature. Would definitely stay again.
4.8
Had a great week at the house. Plenty of room for our group of thirteen. Everyone had their own space. Only drawback were the tiny showers in two of the bathrooms. Having access to the pontoon was a big plus.
4.8
The house is well located on the lake. Swimming off the dock is great. the bedrooms accommodated all of our
17 family members very comfortably.
The owner rented his pontoon boat to us for the week which was put to good use. Great vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed the property. It had all the amenities we were looking for. We wanted to tell you about a few issues:
- communication could be better over email. I did not logon onto to VRBO weekly after 1st installment and did not see the 2nd was due. Maybe send reminders over email?
- the outside furniture on 2nd floor was very hard - needs thicker cushions
- 2 coffee makers would be better
- the pool cues do not have felt on the tips

I had 2 children with spouses and 4 grandchildren, and everyone had their own space, what a treat. The downstairs was great as it was used for gaming when it rained. Proximity to Boatworks was wonderful to take boat for overnight. Would love to see a couple of loungers for the lawn, a couple of Adirondack chairs on the dock, and a couple of new fry pans. With all that said we have rented it again for next July.

First time at Canandaigua our family loved the lake and location and the dock was perfect for our family as we love swimming in the lake
We had access to my son’s boat and loved exploring the lake
We also found fun biking trails and the downtown area was very nice
Had a great dinner at Kix and lunch at Public House
Minor problem with downstairs bedrooms AC as one of the units was set to heat instead of cooling
I don’t know if it was done by us or the previous occupant but clearer instructions would be helpful
Owner rectified the issue promptly !
Good Experience ☝️

This location is perfect to spend some time on the lake to relax.

Enjoyed the view of the lake while eating breakfast in the main room downstairs or from the two small balconies.
Clean and well laid out house, especially for a large group like ours. Plenty of space and we loved having 4 full baths. The grill was plenty big to feed a large group as well.
Two possible improvements include a light over the grill so flashlights are not needed in this time of year and adding an electric griddle to cook pancakes for a large group. Pan cooking bacon and pancakes could be a slow process with just the pans on site.
Overall great location and great house.

We visited in September, 4 couples, for a 4 day friends getaway to the wineries. We enjoyed each others company along with beautiful sunsets at the house. We were able to enjoy the outside fire pit , but missed the changing of the leaves probably by a week or two. The house was large enough for all of us to enjoy our own space, while the the open floor plan on the first floor was great for dinner and hanging by the fireplace for an evening drink.
We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the house on arrival. The floors in the living area were very dusty . The light fixtures in the kitchen and dining area were also covered in dust. In edition, the frying pans in the kitchen could use an upgrade . They were too small to make food for a group of 8 and they did not sit flat on the cook top.
Overall, we enjoyed our visit but we feel a little more attention to detail would give the house a 5 star review .

Great Property with plenty of bedrooms to host multiple couples. Close to downtown, making it easy to explore all the area has to offer

We hosted our wedding party at Neil’s place. He was quick to reply and very accommodating when it came to the property boat rentals!
Would book again! We loved Lake Life!

It is a nice cottage with a good dock. There is good parking. It sleeps 20 very well. However, it does not have table and chairs for 20. The owner added 10 folding chairs at our request and that worked out fine. If he would now just provide a folding table that will sit 8 or 10, the 20 people could eat etc. together (knowing the situation, I brought my own folding table). The kitchen stove requires a genius with the luck of the Irish to make it work. If there are keys to correct operation, they should be provided. We have a boat and the last time we rented this cottage there was a mooring buoy. It was disabled and the owner tried to get it fixed but was unsuccessful. He did get the whips fixed and they worked reasonably well - though we did not have a bad storm the week we were there. There should be shades on the front windows and doors in the dining room - the early evening sun makes it difficult for the people sitting on one side of the dining table. There was a brown-out one afternoon we were there and the owner responded as well as could be expected in response to this unusual occurrence. In spite of these minor issues, we enjoyed our stay.

Great vacation
Property as advertises, large great room, plenty of room. Dock, decks and lake view exactly what we were looking for. Minor issues with reset to dishwasher and cable were quickly resolved over the phone with the property manager, response time to voice mail was excellent, even on Sunday night..

Great place, wonderful property managers
Just can't say enough good about our experience renting this house. The house was clean and big enough for our whole crew. We spoke with the property manager several times because we rented the pontoon and a couple kayaks through them also. Very responsive any time we called.
We spent a lot of time on the dock and in the water (mostly in boats). It was a great place to see a pretty sunset and, as we were there over the 4th of July, the fireworks around the lake.

great location and views
We rented this property July 9-16 2022. There were a few issues at check in, and the owner was easy to contact and quick to address. Rental of the boat on property was a huge plus--good price for rental and so convenient! Overall a great week! We left the following feedback for improvement:
- 2 coffee pots
- better cushions for outdoor chairs
- pizza cutter
- night stands in each room with a lamp
- small chair in each room (where possible)
- tea kettle
- more wine glasses and coffee mugs
- sun shades for window/doors facing lake
- at least one more recycling container outside
- get deck railing repaired
- get dishwasher fixed (req'd to unplug for 30 sec then back in before using)
- put stove instructions in guest book

Kind of ridiculous
We stayed with 6 adults and 5 kids all under the age of 6.
1. The dishwasher didn't work. I let the property manager/owner know and he said someone would come by to look at it and on one ever did.
2. The balcony was in terrible shape. The railing wasn't even screwed into place at the bottom. We had to bungee it to prevent kids from falling through.
3. The stove is crazy. It's electric and could only get 2 of the burners to work consistently.
4. There was no wine owner. Really, vacation spot with no wine opener?
5. They put the crib in the bedroom with massive skylights to make sure you infant wakes up as early as possible.
I could go on... but i'll stop there.
In summary, look keep looking. If the cost was 1/4 of what they are charging it'd be fine. But if you are going to charge premium prices you should atleast have reasonable amenities.

My fiancé and I stayed here with our bridal party. The house was perfect! There were beautiful views, a great outdoor space, and enough bedrooms for everybody. It was located close to town too!

Christmas at the Lake
We rented this house due to the number of rooms, sleeping capacity and the number of bathrooms. We were so pleasantly surprised at the common space as well. Overlooking the lake, we had beautiful views as our large extended family was able to eat together, prepare food together, and relax together. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of cooking and serving ware. The living room had ample seating with 2 large couches and a loveseat. A bonus was the wood burning fireplace! The lower, walkout level was key for our family. Several disappeared down there during the day to play pool. Our younger kids were able to run off some steam, and play separately when the adults needed their own time out. All in all, we had a fabulous time, the house was perfect for our needs, and we are already looking forward to planning for Christmas 2022!

The check in process was incredible and the location is spectacular. The house was so clean and very roomy for a large group. We had lots of issues with the internet and TV. We were only able to watch TV for about 3 hours during our 4 days at the house. We did call the house manager several times, tried to reset the internet but the reception was still sporatic all weekend.

Beautiful Lakeside Home
We had a wonderful time at this property! Our group of 11 adults had plenty of room to be comfortable. The views are absolutely gorgeous! The weather didn’t allow us to use the outdoor spaces much but you could enjoy the view from the main living space and some of the bedrooms. The house is only about 15 minutes from downtown Canandaigua where we enjoyed some great food at Twisted Rail Brewing and Rio Tomatalan. One friendly suggestion would be to add additional towel bars or hooks. I would highly recommend this property. Our group loved it!

Perfect Family Celebration
We had family ranging from 7 months to 73 years old and everyone was happy!!! With every bed filled there was still enough space to not "be on top of each other". Deck, dock and fire pit were family ready! More pots, pans, cookware, utensils, dishes than I expected which was just what we needed feeding our crew! I brought an extra coffee maker to satisfy both the decaf and regular coffee drinkers. Wish I would have brought an additional toaster - one was not fast enough for our growing boys! Plenty of refrigerator space with two available.
Definitely would return to this beautiful spot!

We had a great time and had enough space/bathrooms for our family of 14. We wished we could have stayed another day just so we could enjoy the beautiful dock/deck a little more! We did use the stove top and I think it would be helpful if you provided some quick directions on how to use it. We did figure it out, but it would still be helpful to others in the future.

I want to thank the hosts for a very warm hospitality, all the help and great suggestions throughout our stay! The property easily accommodated 5 families with 2-3 kids each and there was always space, things to do for each of us: e.g. barbequing, fishing of the dock (some great catch btw...), swimming and jumping into the lake, pool, kayaking, taking pontoon boat rides. This was a really fun end of summer vacation! Thank you!!!

Nice spot on a beautiful lake. Accommodated all 17 of us quite comfortably. However, we had issues with the internet (property manager was very responsive) and we couldn’t get the TVs to work

Labor Day weekend
Our group of friends spent Labor Day weekend at this house. House is very spacious and has everything to enjoy the stay. It's located right on the Canandaiqua Lake and we enjoyed spending time sitting by the water drinking wine, fishing and playing cards. We rented a property boat and spent one day cruising around the lake and enjoying the magnificence that mother nature created. Nick, property manager, was always available when we had any questions and resolved any issues when they arise. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to spend quality time with family or friends.
