What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 114 guest reviews
The Lake House on Canandaigua earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its stunning lakeside setting, beautifully maintained grounds, and warm, professional staff — with many guests returning year after year. However, a recurring thread of complaints points to premium pricing across food, drinks, and rentals that some feel isn't fully justified, alongside operational gaps such as slow check-in, inconsistent daily housekeeping, and a handful of room-maintenance niggles. Overall it delivers a high-quality lakeside retreat, though service consistency and room amenities have room to match the property's scenic ambition.
