About this property
Solitude: "Canandaigua Lake Front + Large Family Home for Finger Lakes Vacation"
Welcome to Solitude, your perfect Finger Lakes vacation home nestled on 5 private acres along Canandaigua Lake. Whether you're planning a family reunion or a getaway with friends, this unique property offers three separate homes, each designed for privacy and comfort, making it ideal for groups who want to relax together yet enjoy their own space.
The main house welcomes you with cozy knotty pine walls and oversized comfy furniture that invites you to kick back and feel at home. The fully equipped country kitchen makes meal prep easy, and with four refrigerators spread across the property, you'll have plenty of room to keep your groceries fresh. The main floor features a sunny queen bedroom adjoining a four-season room — a lovely spot for morning coffee or quiet reading. Upstairs, the master suite offers a king bed and private bath, while two additional bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom, each room thoughtfully outfitted with full beds and murphy beds to accommodate your group comfortably.
If you're seeking more privacy, the guest house has two self-contained living quarters, each with full kitchens, private bedrooms, and bathrooms. The downstairs space includes a washer and dryer for your convenience. Just steps from the lake, the boathouse provides two bedrooms, a full bath, and a balcony perfect for enjoying sunrise views and easy access to the beach.
Outdoors, Solitude shines with activities for everyone. Spend sunny afternoons on the full-size tennis court or unwind in the hot tub after a day on the lake. Paddle the calm waters in the canoe or try fishing off the dock. Evenings are perfect for gathering around the fire pit to roast marshmallows and share stories over a local Finger Lakes brew.
Located close to Bristol Mountain Ski Resort, this home offers fun year-round. In warmer months, hike and cool off at Grimes Glen in nearby Naples, explore local farmers markets like Joseph's Wayside Market, or enjoy the lively dining and craft beer scene in Canandaigua's downtown. Whether you're here for adventure or relaxation, Solitude offers an ideal home base to explore all the Finger Lakes region has to offer.
Please note the property is accessed by a long paved driveway with a covered canopy, suitable for most standard full-size vehicles, and four-wheel or all-wheel drive is recommended for fall visits. The walk to the beach involves stairs and a path, so guests with mobility needs should consider this when booking.
With over 230 feet of waterfront and a large permanent dock, there's plenty of space to swim, paddle, and soak up stunning lake views in complete privacy. Solitude is truly a special Finger Lakes vacation home where you can create lasting memories with your loved ones. Book your stay today and discover the best of lake life.
*Please Note: Solitude is easily accessed by a long paved driveway that has a covered canopy as you near the house. The canopy measures about the same height as a standard garage door entry. Most standard full-size vehicles (ie. Chevy Tahoe) can fit down under this canopy but an oversized truck or standard cars with roof racks may not fit. Parking for over-sized vehicles can be found approximately 200 feet above the Main House directly before the canopy begins.
**4WD, or AWD is recommended for fall reservations.
**Access to the beach is made by walkdown path or by steps. Those less agile may prefer a property that is more level.
Note:
1. Smoking is not allowed in any rental property.
2. Homes are not handicap accessible, unless stated in description.
3. Air conditioning is not available unless otherwise noted as available in the amenities. If air conditioning is noted as available, this is considered a seasonal amenity and is only available May 15 - October 15.
4. Where pets are allowed it is indicated. Otherwise, pets are not allowed. Homes are not guaranteed allergen-free, even those that do not allow pets.
5. Docking capabilities may vary based on current water levels. Docking is not guaranteed if water levels are low and/or high due to seasonal weather and climate changes.
6. *Outdoor amenities, including furniture/watercraft are not available between October 15 - May 15*
