By Otto T, Posted: 10/27/2021Canandaigua Lake Retreat and Memorable Views!
Our group of adults( parents and grown children with spouses) enjoyed the property very much. Quiet and private. Nice access to the lake and fun water toys. Set up was very good for eating together (large table) and watching TV (plenty of setting , we were a party of 6). More than enough sleeping arrangements too. Due to location, we did drive a lot to get to activities but the house amenities made that worthwhile.

Beautiful house wonderful view! A break break from hustle bustle!!!:)
By Katie T, Posted: 08/24/2021Clean & Bright!
Amazing swimming off of the dock and huge kitchen table to fit our large family. Beautiful bedrooms with comfy beds and AC too. We had a great vacation!
By Michele G from Wernersville, Pennsylvania, Posted: 04/09/2021We had a delightful time and the house was very pretty. Location awesome.
By Amy W from Erdenheim, Pennsylvania, Posted: 04/08/2021We very much enjoyed this property. The house is situated on a beautiful, private wooded lot that overlooks the lake. Access to the lake is down a few flights of stairs to the dock, kayaks, and fire pit. We enjoyed this area very much and spent the days on the lake or lounging in the bright yellow Adirondack chairs .. evenings too around the fire. The kitchen was a dream to cook in and I'm in love with the farm house sink.. We used the grill a-lot too and the picnic area outside. Between the morning sunrises and viewing the stars from the dock at night, this house really provided the best change of scenery and loads of fun family time. Thank you for having us.
By Devine, Posted: 11/10/2020Great place for a getaway.
We had a great mini vacation at Fossil Beach. Overall we enjoyed the house and the location The property was very difficult to locate, especially at night. There were barely any lights outside which made it difficult to see. The house itself was very nice and we enjoyed staying there.
The Fossil Beach property is a great place for a getaway. We went as a group of friends with our dogs. We loved the location and the view. The house itself was great and spacious. We were worried about not having WiFi/cable, but we found that we spent a lot of our time out of the house.
By Heather, Posted: 09/28/2020Nice place to stay on the lake
Property is exactly like the photos. Cozy inside, but enough room for 5. Great lake access, we enjoyed kayaking, sitting on the dock watching the boats go by, and hanging out under the pergola reading and chatting. Kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans/baking items. We were quite pleased.
By Jill B from Highland Park, New Jersey, Posted: 09/04/2020We love staying in the finger lakes and using Premiere Properties! After two years at Canandaigua we prefer to go back to Keuka where we have spent many happy years and are more familiar with our surrounding area. Fossil Beach was a risk that we took and were pleasantly surprised on what was accomplished on this property circumstances being what they were. Thank You for the best vacations, we look forward every year!!!
