Fossil Beach: "Canandaigua Lake Retreat and Memorable Views!"
Welcome to Fossil Beach, your charming Finger Lakes vacation home nestled on the peaceful west shore of Canandaigua Lake. This historic 1920s cottage offers a perfect blend of timeless lakefront charm and modern comforts, making it an ideal retreat for families, friends, or anyone seeking a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.
Step inside through the quaint covered porch and find a bright, open living space filled with cozy seating, a flat-screen TV, and a decorative fireplace that adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Large windows showcase beautiful views of the lake and let in plenty of natural light, so you feel connected to the water all day long.
The fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare your favorite meals, whether it's a casual breakfast or a family dinner. The dining area seats everyone comfortably, creating a great space to gather, share stories, and make memories.
Upstairs, the spacious bedrooms provide peaceful havens for rest and relaxation. The master suite features a king-size bed and private bathroom, while the additional bedrooms offer cozy beds and lovely lake views. A shared full bathroom serves the other bedrooms with ease. One of the best spots in the home is the screened porch on the second floor—perfect for curling up with a book, sipping your morning coffee, or simply soaking in the serene surroundings. In 2024, this porch will include a twin daybed with a trundle, adding extra sleeping space for your group.
Outside, Fossil Beach shines with over 335 feet of private lake frontage. Paddle along the shore in one of the non-motorized watercraft provided, enjoy a refreshing swim off the private dock, or relax while soaking up the sun on the water's edge. The lakefront firepit offers the perfect place to gather in the evenings for s'mores, laughter, and stories under the stars.
The location is perfect for exploring all the Finger Lakes have to offer. Just 20 minutes from the quaint town of Naples, you can enjoy local shops, restaurants, and seasonal events like the Fall Grape Festival. Nature lovers will appreciate nearby Grimes Glen Park, where you can hike and cool off in the refreshing waterfalls. Whether you're here to explore or unwind, Fossil Beach is the perfect home base for your Finger Lakes adventure.
For winter visits, four-wheel drive is recommended due to the home's location on a gently sloping wooded lot, ensuring you can access the property comfortably in all seasons.
Fossil Beach offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and lakeside fun. Whether you're fishing off the dock, paddling on the water, or simply relaxing on the screened porch, this cozy cottage will make your Finger Lakes vacation unforgettable. Book your stay today and experience the magic of Canandaigua Lake for yourself.
