South Cove Sanctuary

Welcome to South Cove Sanctuary, a cozy and inviting Finger Lakes vacation rental on the peaceful southern shore of Conesus Lake. This four-bedroom lakefront vacation home combines classic charm, scenic beauty, and modern comfort—making it the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and experience the best of the Finger Lakes region. Whether you’re planning a family retreat, a couples’ getaway, or a weekend escape, this beautifully maintained vacation home offers everything you need for a memorable stay.

From the moment you arrive, the relaxed pace of lakefront living begins to work its magic. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by nature, South Cove Sanctuary offers a peaceful setting that captures the essence of the Finger Lakes lifestyle. The level driveway leads you to the spacious property, where open skies, gentle breezes, and soft water sounds set the tone for your stay.

Step inside to find a bright, open layout designed for comfort and connection. Natural light pours into the main living area, accentuating the warm tones and cozy furnishings that make this home feel instantly welcoming. The kitchen is well equipped with granite countertops and modern appliances, providing plenty of space to prepare your favorite meals. Whether you’re cooking breakfast before a day on the water or enjoying a quiet dinner at home, this space makes mealtime effortless.

The adjoining dining area faces the lake, giving you beautiful lake views while you eat. On sunny days, take your meal outdoors to the picnic table by the water, where gentle breezes and the sound of lapping waves create an idyllic setting for lakeside dining.

The living room is the heart of the home—a place to relax, unwind, and make memories. Comfortable seating and large windows frame stunning views of Conesus Lake, while thoughtful touches like the foosball table add a sense of fun. Just beyond the living area, the three-season sunroom offers a quiet retreat filled with natural light. It’s an ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee, read a good book, or play a board game while still surrounded by beautiful lake views.

Upstairs, four cozy bedrooms provide restful retreats after days spent exploring. Each room is designed with comfort in mind, offering soft linens, tranquil décor, and either peaceful garden or lake views. A full bathroom on this floor makes mornings and evenings convenient for families or groups traveling together.

Step outside and you’ll find one of South Cove Sanctuary’s greatest treasures: its lakefront setting. The gently sloping lawn leads right to the water’s edge, where the gradual entry makes swimming and wading easy for guests of all ages. Spend your afternoons kayaking, fishing, or simply relaxing by the shore as the sunlight shimmers across the lake. As the evening settles in, gather around the firepit to roast marshmallows, sip local wine, and enjoy the serenity of the Finger Lakes under a canopy of stars.

This vacation home also offers shared dock access, providing convenient space to tie your boat during your stay. Please note that while the dock is shared with a neighboring property for loading and unloading passengers, the slips shown in photos are reserved for other watercraft. Guests have their own designated docking space, making it easy to enjoy days on the lake with complete peace of mind.

Beyond the property, the Finger Lakes region offers endless opportunities for recreation and exploration. Just minutes away, the popular Beachcomber restaurant serves lakeside meals and drinks in a relaxed setting. Nature lovers will enjoy a day trip to Letchworth State Park, known as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” with its dramatic waterfalls and miles of scenic hiking trails. Whether you prefer wine tasting, water sports, or exploring local shops and cafes, South Cove Sanctuary puts the best of the Finger Lakes within easy reach.

From its inviting interior to its beautiful lakefront lawn, South Cove Sanctuary offers the perfect mix of relaxation, recreation, and connection. This thoughtfully designed Finger Lakes vacation rental captures the magic of lake life—where mornings begin with calm waters and end with glowing sunsets reflected across Conesus Lake.
