How to Experience the Perfect Getaway in the Finger Lakes this Winter
Ski, Spa & Lakeside Comfort at The Lake House
Winter Magic in the Finger Lakes Starts Here
As snow begins to dust the hills and frost settles on Canandaigua Lake, there’s no better place to embrace the beauty of winter than The Lake House on Canandaigua. With our Warm Up to Winter offer — where you stay two nights and enjoy a third free, plus complimentary breakfast — it’s the perfect excuse to trade your boots for skis, your weekday routine for cozy fireside evenings, and your city views for lakefront serenity.
Whether you crave the thrill of the slopes, the calm of spa saunas, or the simple pleasure of marshmallows by the fire, this cozy retreat in the heart of the Finger Lakes has it all.
Hit the Slopes (Just 20 Minutes Away)
Just a short drive from the hotel lies Bristol Mountain Ski Resort — widely regarded as the premier winter sports destination in the region. With its 1,200-foot vertical rise (the tallest between the Adirondacks and the Rockies) and 38 slopes and trails, Bristol delivers everything from gentle beginner runs to steep black-diamond thrills.
Bristol’s high-speed lifts and comprehensive snowmaking mean a reliable ski experience all season, and night-skiing under lights adds an extra layer of magic to your winter getaway.
For guests staying at The Lake House, we offer a complimentary shuttle to and from Bristol Mountain — so no worries about driving in snow or finding parking.
Warm Up Afterwards — Spa, Saunas & Fireside Evenings
After a day on the slopes, there’s nothing better than winding down with warmth and comfort. At The Lake House, you’ll find the Willowbrook Spa complete with relaxing treatments like deep-tissue massages and hot-stone therapy — perfect for soothing sore muscles.
For a lakeside twist on winter wellness, try our signature barrel sauna ritual: a warm, calming sauna experience in a barrel with a panoramic window overlooking Canandaigua Lake. The mix of steam, lake views, and winter air is nothing short of restorative.
Cap off the evening lakeside with a crackling fire pit and cozy s’mores under the stars — a simple but timeless winter ritual that brings out the kid in everyone.
Cozy Indoor & Cultural Winter Moments
Not all winter fun needs skis. The Finger Lakes region offers an irresistible lineup of indoor or easy-going outdoor experiences:
Wine and craft-beer tasting along the Finger Lakes trails — wineries and breweries stay open through the cold months, offering indoor tastings and fireside sips.
Snowshoeing and cross country skiing, snow-covered hikes, and peaceful nature walks offer a quieter way to enjoy the winter landscape.
Ice- skating and snow sledding / tubing — for a fun, family-friendly twist on winter sports.
Daily resort activities – from complimentary yoga, meditation, and stretch classes, be sure to check the daily activity calendar to make the most of your stay.
Whether you want adventure or calm, the Finger Lakes winter delivers.
