The setting is wonderful. The views are out of this world. We had 8 adults and three small children. The two houses on the property are older, and rustic, but provide space for everyone to come together, or to do their own thing, as they pleased. We all ate dinner together, every night, on the porch in Gram's cottage. The weather was terrible, except for the last two full days, which were spectacular, and we all had fun, in and out of the lake, on all seven days. There is lots to do on the property, and in the surrounding area. EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME!

The two cottages have a large lawn area between them and wide waterfront including an opening where boats/kyaks can be launched. The waterfront has a large shade tree which makes sitting by the water delightful. What we loved is that the property is so private due to it's size. We hardly saw any neighbors the whole week. Swimming was great but beach is shale and water shoes are helpful. Fire pit by the water was used and made several evenings special. Cottages are old (1948 and 1970) but well maintained and one has a screened porch where 10-12 people can dine at a large table. We loved our week and will be back!!

We stumbled on this house while looking for an early September, water-oriented vacation for the two of us (and dog). Working with the owner(s) was easy and pleasant. This lake house, and several nearby homes, are owned by the same family, so advice is there if you need it, but no one is intrusive. While there are definitely some original (from the 60s) features in the house, everything works very well. For us, it is important to have reading lights, comfortable chairs/sofas & bed (firm), and lots of windows that open with good screens. Excellent on all counts. Having rented places in the US and Europe, it is great to rent a place that is actually used by the owners because this means it will be well-equipped. The Stone House is, including conveniences like corn holders, sharp knives, and an impressive array of glassware. The location, on a point sticking out into the lake, is beautiful. On many days, our main activity was sitting out on the covered patio watching the lake. We rented kayaks and, because the house is at lake level, it was easy to drag them into the water. The house is about a 15 minute drive into Canandaigua for groceries, though there is a smaller place for basics about 5 minutes away. Can't wait to return!
