The Lake House on Canandaigua
Canandaigua, New York
The Lake House on Canandaigua is a lakefront, design-forward retreat in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes—one of the Northeast’s most scenic destinations for wine tasting, outdoor recreation, and year-round getaways. Set on the north shore of Canandaigua Lake, this independently owned, family-operated hotel brings a modern yet nostalgic spirit to Upstate New York hospitality. Designed by acclaimed Studio Tack and The Brooklyn Home Company, the property blends timber elements, warm textures, lakeside breezes, and residential-style comforts to create a stay that feels elevated yet inviting.
Rooted in the heritage of the Sands family—founders of the Canandaigua Wine Company—the hotel reimagines a beloved former motor lodge into a polished, contemporary retreat perfect for couples, families, and friend groups. Its thoughtful architecture, expansive boardwalk, and water-facing gathering spaces encourage guests to slow down and reconnect with the landscape. With a year-round hot tub, a wellness center, a spa, and outdoor adventures at your doorstep, The Lake House is ideal for both active travelers and those craving a restorative escape in the Finger Lakes region.
Whether you’re planning a laid-back lakeside weekend, a wellness retreat in Upstate New York, or a special event in the hotel’s striking timber-frame barn, The Lake House on Canandaigua offers the perfect blend of design, comfort, and natural beauty—just a short drive from Rochester, the Finger Lakes wineries, and charming local towns.
