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

“The Lake House Was One of the Loveliest Places We Have Ever Stayed in 35 Years of Marriage & Traveling!”

From the moment you arrive and are welcomed in, you feel as though you are at someone's home...the furnishings, flowers and staff, give guests an overall feeling of being cared for in a most genuine way. After a long day of outdoor activities, the heated pool overlooking the lake is so serene; rooms are spacious; shower is spa-like and the bed is extremely comfortable. Lunch at the Rose Tavern was delicious-salads, sandwiches and bellinis :) Again, you feel as though you have stumbled upon a local spot, not necessarily a hotel! We practiced yoga each morning with Suzanne, an incredible instructor, and took the garden/greenhouse tour with John, their master horticulturalist. Make the most of it and take advantage of all the Lake House has to offer. You never have to leave, but if you do, there are shops, restaurants and other places of interest a walking distance or short drive away. Thank you all again for a most memorable stay. Can't wait to return with friends in the fall or next spring!

“My New Favorite Place”

From start to finish The Lake House was the perfect place for my getaway. Friendly staff, amazing and thoughtful touches throughout the resort. My room was clean and bed and pillows were so cozy and soft. The water view from my room was the perfect addition to an already great stay. The restaurants and staff were top notch. The spa experience was one of the best I ever had. I will be returning yearly it’s officially a new tradition!

“Delightful”

The property is absolutely beautiful located in the most prime spot of Canandaigua! We had a few drinks in what they call the library bar before dinner and Makayla was wonderful. Her espresso martinis were the best we have ever had. Cozy and quiet atmosphere but she was the light in the room. We can’t wait to go back.
