Nestled along the peaceful east side of Canandaigua Lake, Sunset Sanctuary is a cozy, thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom lake home that offers breathtaking views, modern comfort, and the perfect setting for a relaxing lakeside retreat. Located on a quiet, private road just minutes from downtown Canandaigua, this inviting Finger Lakes vacation rental combines the serenity of the lake with easy access to local restaurants, wineries, and attractions. Whether you’re visiting in summer to enjoy the lakefront or escaping for a quiet off-season romantic getaway, this vacation home is designed for rest, connection, and unforgettable memories!

As you arrive, you’ll appreciate the convenience of parking just steps from the entrance. The welcoming three-season room greets you as you step inside—a bright, comfortable space perfect for curling up with a good book, enjoying your morning coffee, or taking an afternoon nap with the gentle sounds of the lake in the background. This versatile space expands the lake home’s living area and offers additional sleeping accommodations in warmer months, making it ideal for families or groups traveling together.

The open-concept main living area was designed to make time together effortless. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly, allowing guests to cook, dine, and relax while enjoying panoramic views of Canandaigua Lake through wall-to-wall windows. Even on a rainy day, you can enjoy the stunning lake views and calming atmosphere from the comfort of the cozy interior. The full kitchen features white cabinetry, dark granite countertops, and an oversized island that’s perfect for meal prep or casual dining. Modern, high-end appliances and plenty of counter space make it easy to prepare everything from morning pancakes to a family-style dinner. The dining area sits just off the sliding glass doors that open to the lakeside patio, allowing natural light to flood the space and offering beautiful lake views while you dine. The living room invites you to unwind with comfortable seating and a decorative fireplace that adds warmth and charm to your stay. Every detail of this Finger Lakes vacation rental has been thoughtfully chosen to create a relaxing, home-like environment where guests can truly slow down and savor their time by the lake.

The primary bedroom offers a luxurious king-size bed dressed in soft linens, while the second bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, both designed with rest and relaxation in mind. A queen sleeper sofa in the living area provides additional space for guests, and in the warmer months, the three-season room’s futon adds even more flexibility for families. Two full bathrooms—one with a combination tub and shower, the other with a walk-in shower—ensure comfort and convenience for everyone.

Outside, the lakeside patio is a highlight of this cozy vacation home. Dine alfresco under the open sky, unwind in the hot tub with a glass of local Finger Lakes wine, or simply take in the breathtaking sunsets that give this lake home its name. A gradual slope leads to the water, and a seasonal private dock extends out over the lake, offering the perfect spot to sit and soak up the sun or dip your toes in the water. While boats cannot be tied to the dock, guests can still enjoy easy access to swimming and lakeside fun.

Evenings here are peaceful, with quiet neighborhood walks, star-filled skies, and the soft sound of water lapping against the shore. When you’re ready to explore, downtown Canandaigua is only a few minutes away. Visit local favorites like Young Lion Brewing, Twisted Rail, or New York Kitchen for a true taste of the Finger Lakes, or enjoy brunch at Simply Crepes followed by boutique shopping along Main Street. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Kershaw Park, rent kayaks or paddleboards, or simply enjoy a scenic stroll along the pier. For extended stays, venture beyond Canandaigua Lake and discover the diverse offerings of the Finger Lakes region. Explore Cayuga Lake for a chance to fish for perch or trout, or take to the waters of Keuka Lake for kayaking or boating adventures. Nearby Seneca Lake provides opportunities for horseback riding, while Honeoye Lake beckons with scenic bike trails. And for wine lovers, sample your way along the Canandaigua Lake Wine Trail, the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, or the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. The Finger Lakes promise an unforgettable experience for every type of traveler!

From sunrise coffee on the deck to sunset dips in the hot tub, every moment at this stylish vacation rental captures the essence of Finger Lakes living—peaceful, beautiful, and effortlessly relaxing. Whether you’re here for a family vacation, a couples’ romantic getaway, or a weekend with friends, this lakefront vacation home is a place where time slows down and lasting memories are made!
