There are beautiful views of Canandaigua Lake from the vaulted ceiling Great Room and truly spectacular views from the 'Eyebrow' balcony above the front door.
The kitchen is fully equipped and is open to the great room and dining room. The great room has beautiful timberframing, a stone fireplace and couches that are great for napping or enjoying the view of the Lake. There is a screened in porch off the great room to enjoy sunsets over the lake while eating dinner. Completing the main level is a master bedroom and bath (lake views of course), a den/bedroom, full hall bath and mud room. On the lower level there are two more bedrooms; one with 2 sets of bunk beds and the other with a Queen bed - both bedrooms have lake views. Completing the lower level is a full bath, a family room area with TV, ping pong and games as well as a garage.
You have 150 feet of private lakefront to enjoy including a permanent dock and buoy for your boat. There are about 20 steps down to the lake. The water depth at the end of the dock is about five feet dropping off to about 10 feet another 20 feet out. There is a refrigerator, picnic table, chairs and a fire ring for your use Lakeside. Also included are two kayaks and a small rowboat for your fun. The lake front beach is screened from the neighboring properties creating a very private feel.
The house is located at 1003 South Lake Road, about 1/2 mile south of Vine Valley (probably 4-5 miles north of the south end of the lake on the east side). The house is located across the road from the lake which is typical on South Lake Road. South Lake road is a narrow, dead-end road with very little traffic. Many people from the neighborhood enjoy walking, biking and jogging along the road as it has great views of the lake and many interesting houses.
What else is there to say... we love it and are sure you will too. Thanks for your interest.

Beautiful lakefront home with spacious rooms, great amenities, stunning views, and responsive owner. Highly recommend!
5.0
My family and I had a great week at this very comfortable and well appointed lake home. Beautiful views, spacious rooms and living areas for all to congregate or have quiet relaxing times. The lake front can also accommodate the entire family for seating and a campfire. The owner is responsive and very helpful.
Highly recommend this home!

Beautiful views of the lake from every room. Well equipped kitchen though we only did breakfast and snacks at the house. Great restaurant choices, but you do have to drive a bit. Fun having direct access to the water and use of 2 kayaks and a stand up paddle board. The ping pong & pool tables were a big hit with the teenagers and their dad. Be aware that no towels or wash cloths are provided for the bathrooms. All bed linens and kitchen towels ARE provided. Current listing indicates additional futon as a sleep space in loft area, but there was no futon in loft the week we were there, June 2024. Overall, a beautiful spot with lots to do or just relax in the beauty of the setting. We enjoyed Watkins Glen State Park, Letchworth State park, mini-golf in Penn Yan and the lake setting.

The property is beautiful. We loved having coffee in the morning on the front porch before heading out to the lake. The whole family enjoyed the week. Thank you Mark!!!

A group 7 adults, a mix of singles and couples, stayed at this lovely home for a long weekend. We have a friend who lives a short distance away, so the location was just where we needed it. Being lakefront was a super plus. We had enough space to be together for meals and such, but also enough to spread out if folks needed a little alone time. Being able to cross the street and go right down to the water was so nice! It was a bit too cold and windy to make use of all of the outdoor amenities like the fire pit, but we hope that we’ll have better luck with that on future visits…we’ll be back!!

One of the things we enjoyed about this property was that it was "lived in". This was a place that had been built for the owners and did not have that sterile feel that homes that are purchased as rental investments can have. We really enjoyed that homey aspect of the property. It was everything we had hoped for. Only delight, no disappointments. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends.

House was very well stocked with amenities such as dishes, grills (including gas and charcoal) and even firewood. Beautiful view overlooking the lake with a nice permanent dock. The house is located across the street from the lake on a little traveled road. Having small children, it felt safer than being right on the water. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock all week and there was a boat launch just down the street. The beach there has rocky bottom so bring water shoes, but our kids had a blast! They allow pets and we had our 14 year old family dog with us which was great.

Fantastic peaceful views
We loved this property. Views of the lake from living area as well as screened in porch were magnificent. The area was quiet and great for walks. Dock was exceptional for hanging out and enjoying the lake. Owner was very accommodating and he was responsive to the few questions we had.

Wonderful stay!
We spent a Thanksgiving with three generations at Mark's stunning house. Everything was perfect, comfortable space, well-stocked kitchen and beautiful views. Mark's communication was excellent. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Mark!

Perfect in Every Way
We had a wonderful week at this beautiful home. The house was well-stocked and had everything we needed. Evergreen is a comfortable and well-designed home and was very clean. We had waterside bonfires every night, used the kayaks and boat every day and enjoyed the stunning and tranquil views from many vantage points. Our stay exceeded all expectations and we would love to return someday.

The house is beautiful and very well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We were able to bring our boat, and keep it docked on site. The owner was very responsive to questions that arose. I would highly recommend this home to others.

Peaceful Stay in the Finger Lakes
This is one of the most impressive properties we've stayed at on the lake. The views of the lake from the house perched on the hill is simply stunning and its hard to find such tranquility and privacy on the lake today. We stayed at Mark's place for a week to have a mini family reunion and had a wonderful time together due in large part to the great accommodations of Mark's place. The kitchen was supremely well stocked and we found everything we needed to cook up many great meals. The open space of the family room, dinner table, and kitchen provided ample room for all of us to mingle and listen to music on the great speaker system set up in the family room all while looking out at the very impressive view of the lake. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Mark's place who is looking to enjoy a tranquil and quiet time on the lake.

The property was well stocked and a beautiful place to stay. Not only the views but also the house
The property has all the things we were looking for. Views, comfort, and activities we wanted. There were great spaces for relaxation to enjoy the magnificent views as well as read or nap if desired. We enjoyed the waterfront for viewing the lake as well as a great campfire during the evening. We will return again.

Wonderful location
This was the second time we were here. We love ‘this place. It is quite and yet it’s not that far to wineries. There is easy access to the lake and you are on a dead end road. For us it is perfect.

The photos don’t do justice
The photos of the house were very underwhelming considering how beautiful the house is and much more space than expected. We stayed with a group of family and friends plenty of space for large groups and extra space for visitors crashing in the upper loft area. The pantry and kitchen were fully stocked which was great because we love to cook and entertain! Steps from the water , large dock for relaxing and swimming. Great for family , lots of toys , board games and more ! We are already considering rebooking for next year !

Wonderful Lake House
Wonderful lake house, beautifully designed and decorated. You feel right at home the moment you walk in. Very comfortable. Great view of the lake. Seemingly everything you might need is already there. Very nice dock area as well to enjoy the lake. Worth coming back to!!

Beautiful home in a great location!
Evergreen was an amazing house for a family vacation! The house is beautifully designed and well-stocked with everything you need for a relaxing time full of fun on the lake, good eats made in a cook’s kitchen and multiple spots for a quiet moment with a cup of coffee, good book or yoga mat. We loved it!

Great Lakehouse
The house is very well-built, big, and comfortable, with tons of supplies and extras for guests to use. The great room is beautiful, with lots of light and lake views. The "eybrow" porch is the perfect place to take your morning coffee. The private waterfront is fantastic, with easy swimming, kayaking, boating access. S'mores at the bonfire pit on the beach became a nightly ritual. Mark is very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend!

Amazing time on the Lake!
This property exceeded expectations and details on the listing. The beautiful home is spacious and extremely well kept, not to mention, full with anything and everything you could ever want or need during your stay.
We came as two families with 5 kids and still had an entire room unused during the trip. The kitchen is stocked with every appliance, dish or utensil you could need, everything with its own spot! The screened in porch is the perfect spot for morning coffee and sunset dinners.
The dock is just a couple steps away and was setup with two kayaks and a row boat. A refrigerator and lake side fire pit for your convenience. Gliding chairs and a beautiful view, what more could you ask for?!
The owner was very responsive when contacted and extremely generous!
Our families created wonderful memories and we hope to be able to return soon!

Spectacular Stay!
Mark's home on Canandaigua lake is nothing short of spectacular. The indoor spaces are perfect for gathering and fun times with friends and family. Down by the water there is a complete set up for hanging out right on the lake-- replete with kayaks, a rowboat, and a beautiful dock for watching the sunset. Would highly recommend this beautiful space for a getaway of any length!

Beutiful Timberframe house
Beautiful house with nice stairs down to a wonderful dock. The owners keep the place up nicely and it sure beats staying in a 30 to 50 year old remodeled structure. This is a modern house with all of the amenities. They even provided a chess board for endless hours of play. Fishing was slow do to the time of the year but still landed a 2 pound, a 3 pound and many 1 pound small mouth bass. Those are fish that you can be pleased with. The owners communication ws wonderful and made our stay a breeze.

Magical... far better than we could have anticipated!
Evergreen is a perfect home perched on a hillside overlooking Candandaigua Lake, with a huge dock and beachfront just an outdoor staircase away. We picked the home in large part based on the photos, but they don't begin to do it justice. The house was built and enjoyed by the owners for years, and you can tell. It feels very much like a home. Mark was so easy to correspond with, but really, everything was great so there wasn't much need.
There was more than enough room for me and my husband, our teen and tween, and my dad. I like to cook and brought some extra utensils but I didn't need to, the kitchen was stocked better than my own house.
The great room was my favorite place in the house, with its double-height windows facing the lake. I prayed for some rain so that I could sit inside and enjoy it, but we had perfect weather every day. The giant screened-in porch, top deck off the loft and even the front steps were all perfect for enjoying morning coffees and evening cocktails.
The beach is shaded and has everything you need to enjoy the day, down to kayaks and a paddle board, plenty of chairs, and even a refrigerator. I stayed on the dock all day, and the kids enjoyed jumping off and swimming around it.
I posted some pictures of my family enjoying the lakefront property on social media and all of my friends and family want to know exactly where this magical house is. I almost don't want to share the secret!

Evergreen Property was Ever-Fun1
They say there is a vast difference between a house and a home. Well, this property is a home, warm, comfortable, inviting, relaxing and so much more. A most beautiful house with gazillion dollar views and a convenient location for exploring the Finger Lakes area. Our family had to force ourselves to leave on day trips as we so enjoyed just hanging at Mark's house called the "Evergreen". Our top choice for any return visit. It provided we everything we needed and beyond. Thank you so very, very much!

Beautiful house, beautiful location. We loved the fully equipped kitchen and the big table.
We came to the house as an annual reunion of our two families. It was perfect. The kitchen was amazing, and every room was comfortable and lovely. We didn’t have great weather, but we didn’t mind since being in the house was so relaxing

The PERFECT week
Our stay was essentially flawless from start to finish. Check in was hassle free and the house was very easy to find. Although the house is across the street from the lake front, it is a very short walk and it was not a problem for us at all during our stay. The dock and lake front area are very nice and large enough for chairs and lounging room for everyone. The kayaks were a nice perk too! As for the house, the kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you need to cook, clean, and enjoy. There are extra blankets and pillows available and all of the rooms were very clean and comfortable. We spent mornings and evenings on both the screened porch and balcony where we enjoyed the incredible views of the lake and the sunset. Mark was a very reliable and helpful host and we would not hesitate to stay here again! Thanks, Mark!

Tranquility at the lake
Well appointed with amenities, this is a spotlessly maintained property in a tranquil location on SW Lake Canandaigua. Ample opportunities to enjoy the lake with waterfront access, or relax with the view of water. While designed for larger groups, we enjoyed it as just a couple who wanted a quiet location.

Water issues
Only issue was no running water Monday morning to take showers. Also could not use ensuite showers all because it only had cold water. Not sure why that was but it was somewhat annoying.
