About this property

Canandaigua Lake Waterfront Cottage

Come enjoy Canandaigua Lake! Our wide porches, brand new dock, fire pits, beach, large yard and quiet area compliment this comfortable circa 1938 waterfront cottage.

This cottage offers 1800 square feet of living space, a wide porch including one screened-in porch for lounging/dining/sleeping space for youth, a large family room, a large sun room, five cozy bedrooms with plenty of storage space, two bathrooms, an updated kitchen, a full-sized washer and dryer and wood burning fireplace.

Water

Cottage water comes from a shore well with UV light and is fine for bathing and showering but in the summer time there is NO supply of potable water available so we leave several gallons of drinking water for guests.
Waterfront

The waterfront area has many different spaces to relax and enjoy including: two outdoor picnic tables for open-air meals and card games, eight large Adirondack chairs at the beach, seven Adirondack chairs on the upper level and six additional lounge chairs, beach and cottage level fire pits and a charcoal grill on the upper level.

Located on a quiet, country road near the hamlet of Vine Valley, the DeMarco cottage offers the calm pace and stunning vistas for which the Finger Lakes are famous. Yet the delightful towns of Canandaigua and Naples are within a 20 minute drive, offering restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, wineries and unique local shops.

Fun-filled lake days, breathtaking sunsets, calm breezes and water sounds - The DeMarco cottage offers your family a great place to make memories that will last a lifetime!
