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.

Guest Feedback

“This hotel is the epitome of simple beauty and relaxation.”

Usually I wait until after I leave a place to review it, but a few hours after checking in I can already give this a definite 5 stars. As soon as you walk in, your greeted with a calming smell and a very cozy yet large lobby and lounges. Every part of the hotel looks really cute and well maintained and clean. The different bars/lounges are very relaxing to hang out in, have very comfortable chairs and sofas, and have some games set on the tables. The showers are amazing, with great pressure and very roomy. Outside, there is a large pretty hot tub overlooking the lake, and a large accessible pool. I had dinner at the hotel restaurant and that was absolutely fantastic as well. To top it off, all the staff so far have been very friendly.

“Beautiful property, great service, a little slice of heaven”

This was our first trip to the Finger Lakes and the Lake House did not disappoint. We stayed in a Cottage Room with windows on two sides and views of the canal and the lake. The room was beautifully appointed and very clean. Unlike most hotels, the a/c was a constant quiet hum so it did not keep us awake. We couldn't hear any other guests and found the bed very comfortable. We ate at the Rose Tavern for breakfast, relaxed in the library bar, ate in the Sand Bar, and enjoyed the many seating areas across the property. We also had a fantastic experience at the spa. The gardens on the property are lovely and we felt so relaxed on our (almost) week-long stay. We were sad to leave but look forward to visiting again!

“This is my new “stay-cation” spot, can’t wait to come back!”

Absolutely fabulous get away. Beautiful spa area nestled right next to the lake and sauna included in stay. Great value, gorgeous grounds, service was top notch.
