Family-friendly holiday rentals in Canandaigua Lake

We all loved staying at Alec’s place. It was a beautiful house, very clean and well stocked. Linda met us at the door and gave us a guided tour as well as suggestions on where to shop. The view of the lake is beautiful and if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place, I would definitely recommend staying here!

Peppermint Cottage was everything we hoped it would be! The scent of peppermint welcomed us upon our arrival. The fireplace and wide-plank floors created a perfect ambiance as we enjoyed the comfortable, cozy living room. The beds were comfy and the sheets crisp and clean. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to visit again someday.

My family and I really enjoyed staying here, it’s a peaceful, beautiful, spacious and comfortable place, far from the noises of the city. The only things that we heard were nature sounds, exactly what we were looking for. Our dog and cats enjoyed staying here too. David and Shannon are really kind people, they helped us in anything we needed, and responded quickly. They also brought a portable AC unit because we have an Alaskan Malamute and she needs the air to be very cold. Thanks for all your kindness. We definitely would come back. 100% recommended

Very quiet and peaceful location. Outstanding hot breakfasts delivered to our door every morning was so lovely. Very, very good food! The place was really quite clean, with the exception of some bugs but that’s to be expected in a cabin. The only thing we didn’t love was the water. It smelled very strong in the shower and in the hot tub. If you have smell sensitivity it may be a bit much. There’s probably not much they can do to change that though. We would come again. Our dogs were comfortable as well. A good experience overall. And the air conditioner worked great! It was very hot and humid outside and it stayed comfortable inside. We did bring our own box fan too.

Very comfortable home near the village of Pittsford. Perfect for us. The kitchen was well stocked, primary bathroom has a fantastic shower. Lots of areas both inside and out to relax and share meals. Jim and Carol are great hosts.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

Oh my goodness, this view is to die for....Dan's house has a huge backyard which slopes towards Seneca Lake, and from the deck you can see not only the lake but so much wildlife: a doe and her fawn showed up several mornings, a fox, so many birds, the pure peaceful setting is absolutely perfect. The house is spacious with 3 bedrooms, a very large kitchen, an equally large living room and 2 full baths. Very tidy and clean, nicely decorated but without clutter... and the location is perfect for exploring the Finger Lakes. Dan is a great host, very communicative, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Very nice little home which sits on Seneca lake. A beautiful view of the sunset the lake is in full view sitting in the house. Everything was there for us as far as toiletries and bath supplies and a full kitchen.

Christopher's place in a very convenient spot for us to visit friends in the area. We so fortunate that he was able to host last minute and was very responsive. As others have mentioned the bathroom is a bit small if you have a family member with broad shoulders but not a deal breaker. It was so nice that they had such a beautiful landscape and trails in their back yard for our puppy to go on a walk. Would stay again.

I have stayed at Ron’s property in the past and just as before, it was a great experience. The cabin is just as described and very close to Naples. The cabin was cozy and there was heat in there. Everything was very clean. Ron is also very responsive and helpful. 10/10!

We enjoyed our time at this peaceful location in the country. The cabin was very comfortable and had all of the necessary amenities. It was a great location for visiting the many parks , tourist attractions and towns in the finger lakes region.

Very clean and great location for visiting wineries on Keuka!

Springs Retreat offers a unique, delightful, and heartwarming escape at a stellar location in the Finger Lakes region. Nestled privately behind the main property in a serene wooded area, Springs Retreat is the perfect blend of nature and comfort, with unbelievably accommodating hosts to boot. The tiny cabin is peaceful, cozy, full of rustic charm, and oh so inviting for unwinding. The unfortunate downside is that your stay will eventually come to an end. I would absolutely stay here again and wouldn't flinch recommending it.

Catharine did a fantastic job setting us up with a wonderful home right on Seneca lake. She was verry attentive, and did her best to meet the requests or queries we had. Magnolia is a beautiful property and I would love to go back again. Very close to some local wineries which we indulged ourselves in, the town of Geneva is pretty cool too with some good restaraunts and friendly people. I loved this trip, it was just what we all needed before we start a busy summer season. Thanks again Catharine!

Another great stay at this perfect home away from home. Nancy has thought of everything you and your pup will need for an incredibly comfortable vacation on the lake. There is a ton to do and explore in the surrounding area. Some of the highlights this year were the Geneva Lake trail, Grounded (cute cafe that allows dogs inside or out!), The Spotted Duck (amazing ice cream and they offer pup cups), Billsboro winery (chocolate truffle & wine pairing, also dog friendly), and Dean Lane Dining (no pets) in Dundee. And then there’s the magic of sunrise from Nancy’s deck and evenings just watching fish jumping, birds flying, and ducks swimming, all from the glider on the dock. Simple pleasures abound here.

The house was in a beautiful location, right on the lake. It was also in a close proximity to wineries, a brewery, spa and restaurants. The house had all the listed amenities and Debbie left detailed instructions on use of them. 10/10 would definitely stay here again.

A great rustic getaway! It was great being between cayuga and seneca lakes - everything was a 20 min drive to see beautiful falls in every direction, great wineries/cideries (finger lakes cider house had amazing food to go with the cider), great restaurants (stonecat and elf in the oak) and Ithaca Farmer's Market (must see - so plan a Sat or Sun there). Sunsets were fabulous from the porch and over the fields and the hens were a joy to experience - so cute - and the gentle Q was so good with our cautious rescue pup. But the best part of the stay was Carey's hospitality - tending to every need and providing great suggestions of things to do/see tailored to our interests and giving us a true taste of the area - with local fresh eggs, fruit, wonderful baked bread, granola, cider, wine, cheese, baked goods and the best yogurt ever! We didn't even miss the tv (during football and world series even)!

Magnificent homestead built in 1855. Beautiful grounds. Loved the animals in the barn. Lovely tennis court and swimming pool. Comfy beds! Martha was totally responsive and helpful. Peaceful and relaxing stay!😊

We had a fantastic stay at Deborah's property! The location was perfect for exploring the Finger Lakes, and the house was cozy and accommodating for our group of six, plus our dog. It was also infant-friendly, which made our stay even more comfortable. The hot tub and games were definite highlights, adding to the fun as we traveled from Canada to connect with family. Deborah's communication was excellent throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property!

Thanks so much- we loved our stay!

Spending time in the Rochester New York? Consider this property as your place to stay. This house was wonderfully comfortable, all the items worked, and it was excellent for my whole family. We loved the pool, hot tub, the game room, deck........ bed rooms...... I am rating this property as one of the top Air BnB experiences I have rented.

Wow! From our first communication until day of check out, great communication! Attentive and super friendly hosts! Their place is spotless, beautiful and comfortable. Gina and Kerry are super friendly and welcoming! They make you feel at home and check on you to make sure you have everything. We can't say enough great things, highly recommended and would definitely stay again! Wonderful experience! Thank you very much!!

The place is old, but in beautiful condition. It was a very convenient location for us meeting with local family in the area and close to downtown and the zoo. Unfortunately the weather was still not summertime and the pool was not yet open. We'll have to come back when it's warmer. Plenty of extras in the kitchen. Mark went the extra mile and provided a spare propane tank for the grill, which was a lifesaver, as we had invited family members over and had a full rack of hamburgers and hotdogs to cook.

Joleen was a great host everything was as described she was very responsive when I had questions . The heated pool was supposed to be open mid may but she was able to ensure it was ready for us first week of may. Such great family memories were had the home is beautiful scenery beautiful just a wonderful experience over all. Couldn’t recommend more.
