Grande Dame

Everything about Grande Dame was excellent! The house; the lakefront; the location to many wineries and breweries, and walking distance to a park and playground. The house was extremely clean, and the bunk room was enjoyed by the kids. A great vacation!

My family and I really enjoyed our time staying at the Grande Dame! It was a beautiful, comfortable house with a great view of the Lake!

This property is new and beautiful!  5 bedrooms is difficult to find, so this really met our needs.  We were also happy to find it accepted 2 dogs.  Our whole family stayed for a week and everyone enjoyed every day.  The kitchen equipment is all new and of a nice quality - no garage sale stuff.  There were a few maintenance issues, which we reported.  Although  no one ever responded, we hope the issues will be resolved now.  Be aware that the boat lift is inoperable and you cannot leave your boat in the water over night on this side of the lake because of rough water.  Luckily, a neighbor warned us of this.  Overall, we would stay here again.

Great house for toddlers!

This was a great set up for six adults and two three year-old grandsons. We appreciated being able to cordon them off in separate areas of the house. We spent a lot of time on the deck and yard with the kids and their toys, and also at the lake edge in water shoes (a must-have), collecting (and throwing) rocks. Easy walk/scooter to the park and playground. We ate almost all of our meals at home after a couple of forays to Wegman's in Geneva and multiple farm stand visits (bring cash). Kitchen is well-stocked with pots and pans and dishes (including lots of coffee cups!). We brought pantry items. Would recommend stocking up on cleaning supplies (e.g., Clorox wipes, liquid soap, dishtowels, paper goods). Definitely recommend bringing some kind of sun shade (we brought a tent based on the listing photos which show it's very sunny). This was our first visit to Finger Lakes. We were so impressed with the area, including water sports and biking options and the remarkable friendliness of the neighbors.

We'll Be Back!
This was the perfect vacation spot for our family. When we arrived at the location, everything was set up to perfection. The space was clean and welcoming with each room equipped with individually wrapped towels and washcloths. The bunk room was a hit with the kids. They had plenty of late night dance parties and game playing. It was a hit with who the whole gang. There was something for everyone to do, kayaking on the lake, guitar playing in the family and walks to the nearby park. The house was clean and equipped with everything we needed and wanted for the week. There was room outside for games, and the fire pit was a nice way to watch to the sunset at night. We will definitely be back again! Best stay we have had in the Finger lakes.

Best Stay on the Finger Lakes - 10 star rating!
My family and I lived in Upstate New York for nearly a decade and have visited the finger lakes numerous time over the years. However, this was first time to the Grande Dame and it was the best so far! The amenities, location and accommodations allowed my family and our friends to reconnect without the worries that come with staying in a rental. Everything we needed was there, from personally wrapped towels, to all the kitchen hardware to have a fun picnic on the lake, games to play with the kids, kayaks for the lake and a fire pit for smores. The children ranged in age from 6-11 and there was something for everyone. We were able to walk or rollerblade to the park every morning and skip rocks across the lake. The house was clean and well-organized with fun decor and some of the most comfiest beds we have ever slept in! The bunk room was a HIT with everyone, and allowed the kids a place to call their own and play games and some down time for the adults. There was enough room for everyone to eat inside and play games or go outside to play in yard or take one of the kayaks for a different view of the lake and a deck/firepit to take in the other worldly sunrises and sunsets. There was something for all of us. The guitar on the wall was an added bonus that allowed for family singalongs (though offkey because of the singers not the guitar) and made for some amazing family memories. If you are looking for a place to bring family and friends together, you will not be disappointed! I can speak for our entire group...we will all be coming back!

The Grande Dame was an excellent place to call home on our finger lakes holiday. It was the perfect house for our entire family! It was a huge bonus to have the fire pit, kayaks and play ground down the road! We hired Chef Samantha for a delicious meal in one night, which we would highly recommend. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful property someday. Thank you for sharing this special  place!

5-Star Stay!

We spent a few days at Grande Dame and it did not disappoint. There were 6 adult couples and the home was spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. We greatly enjoyed the outside patio area, fire pit and beautiful lake views! We had some great sunsets, and the kayaks were an added bonus!

Excellent Adventure

I took my whole family there, nine, plus a baby and a dog and there was plenty of room.  Bedrooms are spacious, kitchen area/living room was open, and the view of the lake is beautiful.  The firepit and kayak's were a big hit.  Great place to watch the sunset (or sunrise if you're an early bird).  It was close to the wineries and on a quiet street.  The only drawback was the bathroom upstairs.  It had a jacuzzi, which is fine, but with beds up there for 7 to 9 people, the two showers downstairs had to be utilized for those who don't like to soak. We had an excellent adventure.  Party on!
