Stay awhile cottage is here for your relaxation and fun.

Our home helps you relax and take in lake life the moment you enter. It has authentic, original knotty pine walls that are beautiful and homey. With a wide open floor plan, you can view the lake and Bristol foothills from the kitchen all the way through to our "lake" room via the huge picture window. Our 50' wide lakefront property has a level walk to the lake or to the dock-- fishing off the dock is loads of fun. Lake access is just a step into it or a boat ride off the end of the dock! (Please wear water shoes due to zebra mussels.) We have a canoe and a kayak for rent if you wish to use it. Otherwise, bring your own watercraft or rent it from the local marina, Trident.
The lovely lapping sound of water puts your mind at ease while you sit on our spacious patio with plenty of seating, table space, sun-shading umbrella and Weber grill. A favorite patio pastime of mine is reading a good book. It's quiet all weeks and weekends except for Memorial Day and July Fourth. You'll think you're in paradise.
The fire pit is great for roasting marshmallows or making smores while you look at the night time sky or across the lake. Firewood is available around town or bring your own if you are within 50 miles of our cottage. There is also a gas grill for you to use if you wish. We have lawns on both sides of the road that provide for plenty of room to play games. The road, off the main drag, is quiet and neighbors are friendly.
Restaurants, stores, gas stations, wineries and scenic trails are all a short distance away. In the town of Honeoye, there are a couple restaurants, two shops that feature crafts from local creators and a seasonal weekend flea market, grocery store, and a drug store. Naples is 20 minutes away with Grimes Glenn State Park (so much fun), several wineries, restaurants, and an Artisan craft shop. Canandaigua is just a 30-minute drive.
We have three bedrooms, two with queen beds, the third one has two singles. Although they are not large bedrooms, they are adequate for your time at the lake. All bedrooms have in-window air conditioners. There are no televisions in bedrooms. Who needs one when you can gaze at the beautiful lake? All bed linens are supplied.
The living room also has an air conditioner and fan that's large enough to make it comfortable in the open floor plan. The main room is quite large, lots of room for dining at the table, lounging on the sofa and recliner, playing games, and looking at the lake from most all places in the room. The television is in this room. We have wi-fi and there is streaming service with information on how to get to apps. There is a room at the front (lake side) of the cottage with another fantastic view of the lake. It's pretty close to panoramic! The sunrise comes through the windows in this room and it's really a sight to behold. It's fun to have morning coffee in here if you don't want to venture outside so early in the morning. But, nothing can beat being on the deck next to the water with your morning Joe or fishing from the dock as the sun comes up. The deck/patio has tables and seating for a good number of people. We have all sorts of trays available for you to easily carry your food from the kitchen to the deck.
There are two bathrooms. One bathroom has a full tub/shower combination; the second bathroom has separate shower and toilet facilities and is incorporated in the laundry room. Towels and wash cloths are supplied as well as beach towels. Washer and dryer are there for your convenience. All appliances and utensils are in the kitchen and basic spices are supplied.
If you are a quilter as I am, you will be happy to know that is opportunity to visit approximately 20 quilt shops within an hour's drive of the cottage. So, plan two days for shopping if you want to add to your stash. You can even get to the shops listed in the ANYSH Western region in as little 20 minutes or up to 2 hours 10 minutes from the shop. If you're interested, you could even book a little longer stay and use a portion of it for a small group quilt retreat. There are basic supplies, like cutting mats and power strips, for that type of vacation as long as you give the owner advance notice.
Seneca Park Zoo, Eastman House, Strong Museum, Roseland Water Park and Niagara Falls are within driving for a day away and then a return to the cottage. We will leave you to enjoy your vacation without interruption, but are available to you from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. each day of your stay if you have questions or problems.
