About this property

Commanding a private cove, our upgraded cottage is tucked over a bridge at the end of the road -- the only house in 500' of hillside lake front, next to a waterfall and two running streams. Peaceful. Lots of good water. Wrap-around views and privacy .... on the empty end of the big beautiful lake.

Lovely walks and the water right outside your door, plus attractions, recreation and services nearby. Swim in the lake, soak in the outdoor hot tub. The cottage has a peaceful open plan with a cozy wood fireplace. Great outdoor recreation - year around - nearby. Single story with ramp - handicapped accessible.

Yes, there is WiFi .... but we recommend against it. Instead, Unplug .... and Recharge. Reconnect with who is important.

Catch your breath in our Sanctuary: your scenic private spot, a world apart.

Lake View

Amazing views, really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and hot tub. Very quiet area, I would stay there again. Close to a couple of wineries but ensure you stop at Plenty Bakery for a cinnamon roll. Again a great time and cottage.

Hidden Paradise

The property was amazing! The owners thought of everything you may need for a secluded holiday. Our dog was in heaven gazing out over the water from both inside and outside of the home (as were we). We did exactly what they recommended and “unplugged” during our time there. Ample firewood, and an awesome library of books, games, and vinyl albums made the stay perfect!

Private Sanctuary

If you are looking to unwind and enjoy some amazing views of the lake, this is the spot! Perfect for fishing, taking a kayak out, or just relaxing in the hot tub. Oh, and s'mores at night by the fire pit! All within your own space!

Fantastic location on Canandaigua Lake!

This place has everything and then some! We only left the property twice for a quick run to the store. We had our 5 year old lab with us and she was in her glory swimming and being able to run around on the point. We all loved everything about Heron Cove Sanctuary!!!!

Wonderful escape for the weekend!

Just wanted a quick get away and this house was the perfect location. We loved how private the location felt, the gorgeous views up the lake and having all the amenities you could want and need. We didn't have a single reason to reach out to the hosts because it was exactly what we expected. Just loved it and would highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet lakefront setting!

Perfect winter hideout

Great little spot tucked back in along the water. The fireplace was great to use for a real wood fire. There were great instructions for everything you needed there. We hope to do this again next year and enjoy the view of the snow covered hills all around.

Just awsome

It was just an amazing place with a great water front, big grass area to have to room to play yard games and a nice cover hang out in the water. The way the property is set up it feels like you have the whole area to yourself with out neighbors watching. WE JUST LOVE IT!!!!!

Amazing Honeymoon Spot!

This was the perfect little cottage for my honeymoon. So relaxing, and you can hear the waves right from inside the cottage! My husband and I stayed very cozy by the fireplace when it got cold in the evening, and loved getting to use the many different boats available! We would definitely recommend this place, and are looking forward to visiting again!

Spring Break 202r

We spent 4 nights at the house. The only thing that could have mad it cozier is if we had our own family pictures on the wall. Fun vinyl collection to listen to while spending nights by the fire playing. Additional ameneties not listed in the description were an accoustic guitar and foam roller, we used both. Location is great for excursions about for hiking, wineries and restaurants. Love The Old School House. Rennoldson's Market in Naples had everything we needed.

Serene Getaway at Granger Point

Saying anything negative about Heron Cove would be a stretch. We booked our stay here to have a home away from home with plenty of privacy, easy access to the lake, and water toys available to use. In these ways, the stay far exceeded our expectations. We were honestly surprised by how well the home was stocked, and it was apparent that much thought was put into making Heron Cove as stress-free as possible. As an added benefit, communication with the property owners was top notch and super responsive. We're already looking for excuses to come back out to the FLX area. P.S. Pictures do not do the property or the views from Granger Point justice, and waking up to the sunrise over the lake was a splendor that we won't soon forget.

Beautiful Lakefront Property

This cottage was private and located right on the lake. It sits at the end of a road that is next to a vineyard. There are numerous hiking trails and wineries around and the center of Naples is about a 10 minute drive. There is a large amount of usable private outdoor space. The windows in the cottage look out to the lake, which is about 10 feet away. The owners of this property were very welcoming and the rental process was simple. We loved our stay and would definitely book this property again.

Charming cottage with amazing large property

This was out first time in the Fingers Lakes and we loved it. The cottage is cute and very comfortable. The property is HUGE! There are lot of areas to hang out with either sun or shade. I cant believe how much fire wood was on property for us to use and the owner and manager were very fast with any questions. (our dog was in heaven and learned to swim) They provide everything anyone would need to cook and grocery store is near by so need to overpack. This is a great low-key place to kick pack and relax. Thanks for a great escape!

Relaxing and Beautiful

The beauty of this cottage is absolutely stunning. I would say the photos on here do not do it justice. It was peaceful. The property provides kayaks, paddle boards (2), and a little row boat. The water was too cold for when we were there to swim, but you can swim there as well. We paddle boarded and it was so peaceful. The fire pit is set at the edge of the property where it so quiet. They also had a fire place. and provided PLENTY of firewood. We also really enjoyed listening to the records at night and dancing next to the fireplace. Very romantic. I could go on about this place for ages. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Your host

This was our family's summer place when we were growing up in Rochester. It's always been peaceful and beautiful, and always will be. Every summer day our dad would commute into the city, while we kiddies played in the lake and romped in rustic isolation. It still is our family's special place - after our mom died, my brother and I decided to buy it,and rent it out so we can afford to keep it in the family. We renovated and completely upgraded, adding amenities like a nice new kitchen, new furniture, & the hot tub. Our goal was to make the house as nice as the location. We hope that other like-minded folks will discover it, and enjoy it, the way we always have and hope to continue to.

Why they chose this property

Canandaigua lake is awesome. It's in our blood. Our cottage is unique - it doesn't have nearby neighbors. When you visit it is just beautiful and peaceful. The water is right outside the picture windows and is pure - the lake is the drinking water source for a few surrounding cities. Whether you are contemplating the ten mile view up the lake from the porch, watching the clouds shift over the mountains on the far shore or suspended under the cool, clear water .... it's special.

What makes this property unique

It's a unique location - like none other on a lake that is like none other. Great walks, amazing birds, swimming, napping - it's restorative. NOT A PARTY PLACE. No power boats or jet skis - we ask that you join us in living lightly on the land and protecting the special water. If you want peace and calm - you'll love it.
