Welcome to Sunset Chalet, an inviting Finger Lakes vacation rental that captures the quiet beauty and timeless charm of Honeoye Lake. Nestled at the end of a private lane, this picturesque lakefront home offers soaring cathedral ceilings, an open-concept design, and panoramic views that bring the outdoors in. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful family getaway, a reunion with friends, or a relaxing lakeside escape, Sunset Chalet provides the perfect setting to reconnect, unwind, and make unforgettable memories.
From the moment you arrive, the calm of Honeoye Lake welcomes you. The soft sound of rippling water, the wide-open sky, and the surrounding hills create an atmosphere of pure tranquility. The property’s large, manicured lawn slopes gently to 50 feet of private lakefront, providing plenty of space for outdoor games, picnics, or simply lounging in the sun. With no busy roads nearby, the peaceful setting makes this home ideal for families and anyone seeking a true retreat from the everyday.
Step inside, and you’ll immediately be drawn to the wall of windows that fills the main living area with natural light and showcases breathtaking lake views. The open-concept layout highlights the home’s vaulted ceilings and airy design, allowing the kitchen, dining, and living spaces to flow together effortlessly.
The fully equipped kitchen is designed for both convenience and connection. With a gas stove, built-in oven, and plenty of counter space, it’s a dream for guests who love to cook. Prepare a hearty breakfast before a day on the water or enjoy a relaxed dinner made with fresh local ingredients. The large farmhouse dining table seats up to ten guests, making it easy to gather for shared meals, laughter, and long conversations that stretch late into the evening.
In the living room, plush seating is arranged to face the expansive windows, offering a cozy place to relax while soaking in the view. The ever-changing colors of the lake and sky create a living backdrop that makes every moment feel peaceful. Whether you’re curling up with a good book, playing a family board game, or watching the sun set beyond the horizon, this space is designed for togetherness and comfort.
For guests seeking a little friendly competition, head down to the lower level, where a ping-pong table provides entertainment for all ages. It’s the perfect spot for rainy days or evening fun after a day spent on the lake.
Sunset Chalet comfortably accommodates up to ten guests across four thoughtfully designed bedrooms. On the main level, you’ll find two charming bedrooms—one with a queen bed and another with a full-size bed—along with a full bathroom conveniently located nearby. Upstairs, the loft bedroom offers a king bed, a full-size bed, and a second full bathroom, creating a spacious and private retreat. The lower-level bedroom, situated just steps from the water, features two queen beds and sliding glass doors that open directly to the lakeshore. Waking up here means being greeted by soft morning light and the sound of waves just outside your door.
Outdoor living is at the heart of what makes Sunset Chalet so special. The spacious lakeside deck invites you to start your mornings with a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over Honeoye Lake. During the day, the 60-foot seasonal dock becomes the hub of activity—ideal for sunbathing, fishing, or launching a kayak or paddleboard. The carefully maintained natural beach area includes weed mats for a clean, safe swimming experience, making it perfect for families with children.
As the day winds down, the property transforms into a picture-perfect evening retreat. Gather around the wood fire pit to roast marshmallows, share stories, and watch as the lake reflects the last light of the day. The peaceful surroundings and star-filled sky make this one of the most magical spots on the property.
Beyond the comfort of this vacation home, Honeoye Lake offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Spend your summer days paddling along calm waters, birdwatching for herons and kingfishers, or taking scenic boat rides across the lake. During winter, the area becomes a quiet wonderland—perfect for skiing and snowboarding at nearby Bristol Mountain or Hunt Hollow Ski Club, or even trying your hand at ice fishing right outside your door when conditions allow.
The charming town of Naples is just a short drive away, offering local flavor and small-town hospitality. Visit in autumn for the annual Naples Grape Festival, a beloved celebration of Finger Lakes wine, art, and community. Explore the area’s boutique shops, dine at cozy restaurants, or play a round at one of several nearby golf courses. Nature lovers will enjoy hiking at Grimes Glen, where waterfalls and forested trails provide a refreshing way to experience the region’s natural beauty. For more dining and entertainment options, Canandaigua is only 20 minutes away, offering everything from lakeside restaurants to wineries and craft breweries.
Every detail at Sunset Chalet has been designed with comfort and peace of mind in mind. The property features parking for multiple vehicles, modern amenities, and a discreet exterior security camera positioned to monitor only outdoor areas—ensuring safety without compromising privacy.
