About this cottage rental
Welcome to beautiful Canandaigua Lake where golfing, wine tasting, and hiking opportunities are bursting each way you look! Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and dive straight into a retreat of "Solitude."
Perfect for family reunions, Solitude is comprised of three separate homes on the same property sitting on 5 acres of beautifully landscaped surroundings. 234 linear feet of waterfront offers unique privacy. The main house offers four bedrooms, and two full baths. Gather your group in the main house and enjoy the private setting up on the hill. Trees surround you and lake views peep in from below.
Inside the main house, knotty pine walls hug the perimeter. Oversized furniture accents the cozy feel to the living room and welcomes you "home." A country kitchen provides all you need and more to make mealtime a breeze! Throughout the Solitude property, four refrigerators are available and make settling in at the lake easier. Off the kitchen is a cozy bedroom with queen bed; perfect for relaxing any time of day the way the sun shines in from the four-season room.
Upstairs, a master bedroom with king bed has its own private ensuite bath. Completing the main house, two private bedrooms are perfect for a small family to share. Each bedroom is accompanied by a full-size standard bed, and full-size murphy bed for you to enjoy. An adjoining jack-and-jill bathroom provides easy access to and from each room.
Perfect for in-law's, the guest house has two separate living quarters both with full kitchens and the downstairs offers a full-size washer and dryer. Both levels offer a private bedroom and full bathroom.
The boat house has a full bathroom and two bedrooms. Enjoy some coffee on the balcony for some picturesque views of the lake and the closest access to the beach from these living quarters.

Whether you want to spend your vacation playing tennis on the full-size tennis court, you'd like to relax in the hot tub, take the canoe for a paddle or fish off the dock; there's something for everyone at this cozy home! End your day roasting a marshmallow at the fire pit and toasting the day with your new Finger Lakes brew!
Bristol Mountain Ski Resort is nearby and offers entertainment year-round for the leaf peeper, skier or wedding crowd. Enjoy a water hike on a hot day at Naples own Grimes Glen, and stop over to Joseph's Wayside Market for some fresh produce and local flavor. A trip north to the Town of Canandaigua will have you walking along Kershaw Park where Twisted Rail Brewing, Young Lion Brewing, and the New York Kitchen will steal your heart. Solitude is boasting with opportunistic fun and quintessential, classic lake life. Call and make your reservation today!

Parking for over-sized vehicles can be found approximately 200 feet above the Main House directly before the canopy begins.

The location of this property is ideal for people who want to spend a lot of time by the lake. The boat house has a bathroom and fridge, so you can limit your treks up and down the stairs with a little planning. We used the kayaks multiple times.
The tennis courts are really nice. There is even a very nice spectating structure with shade and several pieces of outdoor furniture up there. And ample rackets and balls for anyone to use.
The houses themselves are all pretty basic, but certainly satisfactory for our purposes. We were there to enjoy the lake and be outside, so it was ideal. The owner took us out for a boat ride, too. Which was very nice.
A great stay. Would recommend to anyone who didn’t mind their sleeping quarters being spread out a little.

Came with lots of family and had a great time. Can't beat the views
8.0 / 10.0
Although the area is very nice, the kids all had a good time on the dock and the water trampoline, but for us older adults, the stairs / steps everywhere were formidable. The house was very clean and had all the amenities that were posted and the kitchen area served us well for our family dinners. Seating indoors was limited and we spent much of our time outdoors on the back deck. This deck definitely has a downhill slope that was difficult to seat the little grandkids since the chairs would tipple over. The entrance is a bit intimidating especially if you bring your own kayaks / paddleboards since trailers are difficult to negotiate the tunnel and parking is mostly on the hill above the house. The family made the best of the vacation, but I was disappointed in the description.

Great weekend up there with friends. Great amenities on site. Abundance of space for our large group.

There were 16 of us ages 14-80. This place is not for those who have mobility issues. We enjoyed our stay and the property. We got lots of use of the tennis court - we played pickleball for hours! The hot tob was nice as it was chillier weather. We brought our boat so we were on the dock a lot and the boys fished from the dock. The biggest drawback was the driveway is quite steep and the canopy is limiting if you have a big truck ( say, for pulling the boat) and shuffling cars is tricky. We also had water pressure issues in the main house. Whenever someone was showering or using the laundry there would be almost no pressure anywhere else. The other houses had no issue with this. They could use a bit more large sized cooking pans for those of us trying to cook for big groups. The patio was nice with a beautiful view of the lake. We sat out there every morning and evening. The Sun room was great for dining or playing games and bird/critter watching. Overall it was a great family vacation.

Group of friends for a weekend get away
The property was a perfect size to visit with a diverse group of friends. The sleeping arrangements were able to accommodate a diverse group of couples and single persons. Group meals were a bit of a challenge if all guests from main and guest houses dined together in terms of spacing. In general, it was great for a weekend getaway or longer. The location on the water was picturesque and absolutely enjoyable.
