About this property

Strawberry Cottage - Enjoy Wooded Privacy on Canandaigua Lake!

Strawberry Cottage is nestled half way down the west side of Canandaigua Lake in a private, wooded setting. The driveway from West Lake Road leads down to this charming lake home, situated just above the lake and surrounded by mature trees, providing a feeling of seclusion and peace.

Built in 1939, Strawberry Cottage offers guests the look and feel of days gone by along with modern conveniences. Beautiful wood paneled walls, a gorgeous field stone fireplace, and an eclectic blend of antique and modern furniture create a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere to enjoy your private getaway.

The main entry in the rear of the cottage leads into the spacious living room, which features a flat screen cable TV, sofas, lounge chairs, and a card/breakfast table overlooking the lake. To the left is a hallway that leads to the first floor laundry and half bath. To the right is a set of French doors that open out to the airy and spacious sunporch. Here guests can sit down to a meal at the dining table that seats 8, situated just off the kitchen, or enjoy conversation or good book on the comfortable sofas and chairs facing the water and outdoor living area. The charming country kitchen is located just off the living room and sunroom, and features beautiful, country farmhouse style cabinetry and plenty of kitchen ware for cooking large meals at home.

The stairs in the rear of the living room lead upstairs to the generous sleeping accommodations. At the south end of the hallway is the master bedroom, which contains a queen bed and a full sleeper sofa, a master bathroom with an old fashioned, clawfoot tub with a shower ring, and a small covered balcony overlooking the outdoor living area. To the left of the stairs is a bedroom with a queen bed, and an additional bedroom with 2 twin beds. Across the hall is a full bathroom with a shower. The north end of the hall leads to an additional two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and the other with 2 twin beds and a full sleeper sofa, and a full bathroom across the hall with a shower/tub combo.

Directly outside the sunporch is a gravel patio, with garden furniture and a grassy area at the top of the stairs for outdoor games. The boardwalk in the front of the property continues to the stairs leading to the deck above the lake and the lakefront. There is natural, pebble beach on the south side of the huge permanent dock, which allows for gradual entry and wading.

Located just 15 minutes from Naples and Canandaigua, Strawberry Cottage is also convenient to many popular attractions!

cottage/camp like place
Overall, adequate for a cottage vacation. The lack of A/C is a problem in July, but there are several fans in the bedrooms. Once we were able to open the windows after check in, it was better. The bathrooms and kitchen, while old, were clean. There is a garbage disposal and a dishwasher - unusual in older cottages and washer and dryer on the first floor. We arrived just as the cleaner was leaving, yet the living room had so many dead bugs on the floors we had to sweep them up ourselves since we had several small children with us. There is poison ivy along the gravel path (we removed some), and the board walk. This is a pet friendly house, but the dog getting into the poison ivy was a concern. There are 60 steps down to the water. Lovely dock and good swimming off the end of the docks. There is a little park (Onanda) with beach only a 2 minute drive away so we were able to enjoy that area. Overall, nice but not fancy

Beautiful lake view but be prepared for old school cottage living
The cottage is set in the woods and had a beautiful view of the lake. The family enjoyed swimming and hanging out on the dock. There was plenty of seating and room to eat and converse together. Not having AC was definitely a problem in July as the bedrooms were on the second floor and heat rises. Check in at 4 pm meant windows couldn’t be opened to release heat before arriving. Things were a little better once all the windows and screen doors were opened but one screen door was torn and unusable. Luckily the weather got cooler and less humid. Overall the living area was clean but every windowsill and screen door had dead bugs and the outdoor furniture had to be cleaned before using it. We called property management to report bugs and screens and they responded quickly and were willing to send housekeeping back out but the screen wasn’t fixed because this property lacked a maintenance contract with VRBO.

peaceful retreat
This is a charming old house with great view of the lake. There was plenty of room for us (7 adults, a 3 years old and an infant), the living area is comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, the patio is in the shade with a great view of the lake. There is however only 1 working shower. Three different maintenance guys were sent to fix the problem with the tub/shower combo over the course of the week. They could neither fix the clog nor the water "mixer" there. The water comes out either steaming hot or hot and the shower is running even you only try to run the faucet. The professional's verdict: "the entire piping needs to be redone". There is plenty of poison ivy along the gravel path (we removed some), the board walk and also on a railing by the 2 hill side steps into the water. (We happened to have two plant specialists in our group). An other disappointment was that the listed canoe was not there. You expect to be able to trust that things are there you payed for. Finally, please be aware that there are 61 steps down to the water level. There is a 30 to 40 foot drop down from the house. Although the stairs have a good railing I would not recommended this situation for small children. Even one of our adults in the party is fearful of hights and had problems with these stairs. Luckily there is a little park (Onanda) with beach only a 2 minute drive away so that a child could safely play at water's edge.

Perfect Fit
This house accommodates a variety of ages and interests. The walk to the water can be a challenge but it is worth it. Well supplied. Minor things..fans not dusted and they were needed...toilet seat on one toilet too short pinches kids and needs to be to correct size and dryer was only nominally working. Would stay again

Very enjoyable location
Very nice place but needs a bit more attention to smaller details such as having at least one full tank of propane as it took 3 notifications that all three tanks were empty, two notifications that there was no working can opener which was not replaced (when someone was in the area again, one would be provided), despite 2 visits from staff, requiring a trip to Wal-mart in order to open our canned goods. The temperature control for the shower was very difficult to manage, either way too hot or too cold and nothing in the stall to hang on to as well as a very slippery floor. The step from the sliding door to the yard is quite deep and could really use an additional step for safety as there is nothing to hang on to. It would have been nice to have more than six outdoor chairs so guests would not need to bring their own. The indoor furnishings were very nice and the place is very spacious. Having laundry facilities and a first-floor powder room very much appreciated. The view is absolutely stunning.
