Enter Your Own Private Canandaigua Lake Retreat
Welcome to the lake life. Each of our 124 guest rooms and suites is designed to capture the timeless charm of this historic property, infused with refined, artistic details such as hand-crafted furniture, and modern amenities like spacious Waterworks rain showers and impossibly soft linens. This is where nostalgia meets new memories, relaxation leaves plenty of room for adventure, and the boundaries between outdoors and in are relaxed.
Food & Drink
The Best of Local Bounty
From picnics on the lawn to celebratory, candlelit dinners at Rose Tavern, and fresh oysters enjoyed lakeside at the Sand Bar during the summer months, there’s an atmospheric dining option for every moment of life. Equal parts American tavern and forward-thinking bistro, Rose Tavern features a menu designed to showcase the region’s stellar produce and internationally celebrated wines. And there’s no better way to cap a day at the lake than by sliding into a sun-warmed seat at the Sand Bar, cold beer in hand.
