What Sustainable Luxury Looks Like to Us

The Lake House on Canandaigua is committed to offering our guests and community an environmentally conscious and socially responsible experience of the highest quality by working with our community and partners to reduce our impact on the environment.

During Your Stay

With every stay, we are committed to implementing sustainable practices that help reduce our environmental footprint. From minimizing waste to conserving energy and water, these initiatives are designed to make a positive impact while ensuring a comfortable and eco-conscious experience for our guests. Here are some of the key practices we have in place:

  • In an effort to reduce laundry consumption and water usage, we only replace towels that have been left on the floor by guests
  • Standard procedure of changing bed sheets only on the third day of a guest’s stay (unless otherwise requested). This helps reduce water and energy consumption while maintaining comfort and cleanliness for our guests
  • Instead of providing disposable plastic water bottles, we have placed refillable water bottles in guest rooms
  • Bio-Friendly Amenities from World Amenities (grooming kit, dental kit, shaving kit, and shower cap)

Environmentally Friendly Practices

We are committed to sustainable practices across all areas of operations. See below for some examples of what we do here at The Lake House.

  • Our total energy use is carefully monitored and managed, with a strong emphasis on renewable energy, ensuring that a significant percentage of our energy supply comes from renewable sources.
  • Water use is actively managed, and we have eliminated the use of plastic water bottles on the property.
  • We monitor and manage single-use plastics, with a clear plan in place for their reduction and elimination.
  • We prioritize local sourcing to minimize food miles and reduce emissions.
  • Our solid waste management plan focuses on reducing, reusing, and recycling, including food waste.
  • We source environmentally friendly chemicals where possible, while maintaining high sanitation standards.
  • We actively monitor and mitigate potential sources of pollution, including the use of diesel generators and harmful chemicals.

Local Ties

Sustainability doesn’t just mean reducing our use of resources (though that’s important, too!)—it also means creating long-lasting partnerships with the local community. By working with local business for everything from the stunning floral arrangements you see in our shared spaces to construction projects and local ingredients, we not only support the local economy, but also reduce our emissions and can vouch for how our materials and products are made using the highest possible standards.

 

The Lake House is situated on land with a rich and vibrant history, one that has been shaped by generations before us. We invite everyone to learn more about the history of Canandaigua and we are committed to spreading that knowledge and respecting the beauty of the land and wildlife surrounding us.
