The Lake House on Canandaigua: Finger Lakes Lakeside Luxury Elevated
Perched on the northern shore of Canandaigua Lake, The Lake House on Canandaigua is a beautifully reimagined lakeside resort that blends nostalgic charm with contemporary design. Created by a family of dreamers and designers—including The Brooklyn Home Company—it brings Finger Lakes hospitality into fresh focus with artistic interiors, thoughtful sustainability, and immersive experiences.
Living Like a Lakeside Retreat
With 124 guest rooms and suites, each space is crafted to feel like a private haven. Hand-carved furniture, hardwood floors, Waterworks rainfall showers, plush linens, and elegant lake views via private balconies offer comfort with character. Many rooms feature fireplaces, oversized soaking tubs, and open layouts perfect for weekends or extended stays.
Dining & Champagne Moments by the Lake
Rose Tavern: A refined New American dining experience around a wood-fired hearth, offering regional specialties like olive oil–poached cod or short rib dishes alongside Finger Lakes wines.
Sand Bar: Casual yet iconic, the lakeside bar has long been a local favorite—renovated with updated menu offerings like lobster rolls, craft cocktails, and bar staples under a suspended canoe.
Library Bar: Cozy and elegant, this navy-walled space offers morning coffee, evening cocktails by the fireplace, and weekend live music. It’s a perfect pause between adventures.
Wellness & Play, Crafted for All Seasons
Whether you arrive in the snow or summer sun, The Lake House offers sensory retreats:
Willowbrook Spa: Overlook the lake from Nordic-influenced saunas and garden treatment areas using herb-infused oils and sound baths that harness Finger Lakes serenity.
Outdoor amenities: Includes a heated pool, oversized hot tub, fire pits, lawn games, and lawnside movie nights during warmer seasons.
Curated activities: Enjoy yoga, mat Pilates, kayaking, paddleboarding, bike rentals, cooking classes, wine or brewery tours, garden tours, whiskey and wood-burning sessions, and pier cruises.
Grounds & Design: Nature with Purpose
The property’s lush gardens—curated by horticulturalist John Faerber—blend native wildflowers, herb islands, and fruit trees that feed both the onsite kitchen and spa treatments. Guided garden tours are offered seasonally to guests. Sustainability is central: the resort is geothermal-powered, composts, operates plastic-free refill stations, and sources local produce.
Events & Weddings: A Destination in Itself
With a scenic timber-frame Event Barn overlooking the lake and manicured lawns, the venue is perfect for weddings or gatherings up to 250 guests. Onsite planners ensure every detail—from dockside ceremonies to spa weekends and wine-country tours—is effortless and memorable. Guest stays paired with wellness and local excursions elevate any celebration into a full-fledged getaway.
Ideal for couples seeking a romantic lakeside retreat, food and wine enthusiasts, families looking for curated summer fun, or wellness travelers craving spa days and mindful design.
