I am somewhat reluctant to sing the praises of Dad's Cottage because I'd prefer fewer competitors the next time we want to rent it. That said, we found this a very congenial setting for our family gathering in July. Its location, not far from the Canandaigua Yacht Club, meant there was often some interesting sailing going on in eyesight. The kayaks and Sunfish, and stand-up paddleboard were great assets. The back porch looking out over the lake was a terrific semi-indoor spot and the shade in the backyard in the afternoon made it an attractive outdoor area. The house was well stocked and the owners were responsive to questions. We appreciated that it was an easy drive to Wegmans. This was our third rental on the Finger Lakes and the best so far. Potential downsides: there is not a lot of yard between the house and the lake. This means the firepit may send smoke into the lake-front bedroom, so we didn't risk a fire. Not a dealbreaker for us, but it might be for some. The lake is accessed for swimming off ladders, so if a walk-in to the water is important, this should be considered. The AC system is not super quiet, but we prefer fresh air and only used it when the heat got unbearable. We prefer the west side of the lake for morning sun and afternoon shade, so this house fits our preference in that regard.
