Glen Hollow Guest Cottage

Located along the Canandaigua Lake Wine Trail, and minutes from Naples, Glen Hollow offers the privacy of a vacation rental with the amenities of a wine country inn.  Add the nearby public lake access for enjoying the crystal waters of Canandaigua Lake, and you have found the perfect setting for experiencing the beautiful Finger Lakes region.

Award-winning design firm Cultrara Associates spent over two years renovating this historic landmark – an area of stunning natural beauty, innovative culinary culture, and deep history.

The kitchen and downstairs sitting room provide a charming space and open floor plan.  There is sitting for four around the ventless, porcelain-glazed, cast iron stove.  Kitchen cabinets hand-crafted from original barn wood are topped by counters made of concrete and maple, with a custom stain using wine from Keuka Lake Vineyard. Sliding barn wood doors access the bedroom off the kitchen.  This cozy room glows from the original shiplap walls of Douglas Fir.

Once a horse stall, the bathroom offers rustic charm with modern amenities.  A luxurious waterfall shower head and stall composed of ledger stone, slate, and handcrafted leaded glass will have you in awe.

Upstairs, a hayloft converted into master loft suite steals the show at this exquisite home.  A grand king bed with canopy will allow you to retreat for the evening with luxury and style.  Open the refurbished antique barn doors and enjoy views of the creek and let the outside in while sitting in the private sitting room this area offers.

Glen Hollow has been a tourist destination dating back to at least 1886. Today, visitors still enjoy the babbling brook and waterfall at this charming home.  Expanding its focus on wellness, healing, and rejuvenation, the Guest House provides easy access to a new hot tub, sauna, and massage space for those guests seeking a restorative, restful getaway. Glen Hollow's fully-licensed Reiki-trained massage therapist may be reserved for onsite treatments by appointment.


The village of Naples is only a ten minute drive south where you'll find area favorites such as Hazlitt Winery and Monica's Pies. North, the city of Canandaigua is busy with lakefront dining, breweries and both fine dining and weddings galore at the New York Kitchen - previously known as the Wine and Culinary Center. Glen Hollow is the perfect destination whether you're coming in for a wedding, a couples retreat, or an enjoyable weekend with family or friends.

Please note that Bristol Harbour’s beach and swimming area are for Bristol Harbour residents only. If you would like to go swimming, Onanda Park is a five-minute drive north on West Lake road. Large sandy beaches are available in Canandaigua 15 minutes away.
