The Lake House on Canandaigua

Lakeside Comfort Meets Live Music Convenience

Modern and serene, The Lake House on Canandaigua blends luxury with a relaxed lakeside vibe. Nestled along the shores of Canandaigua Lake, this 4-star hotel offers stylish rooms—some with balconies—and is just a short drive from local concert spots and cultural attractions. With a peaceful garden, an outdoor pool, and a cozy atmosphere, it's the perfect retreat before or after a big show.

The rooms are thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, featuring air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and spa-like bathrooms. Whether you're catching a show or simply soaking in the Finger Lakes beauty, this property delivers a boutique hotel experience with upscale touches.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just over 2 miles from Sonnenberg Gardens and a short drive to area music venues, this hotel offers a quiet escape without being far from the action. The 24-hour front desk and flexible check-in at 4:00 PM make arrivals easy, even if you’re coming in late. After a show, unwind in the hot tub, relax on the terrace, or grab a drink at the on-site bar. The peaceful location means you’ll get the quiet you need to rest up for the next big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a chic place to stay with shared spaces and scenic views
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list concert and some lakeside R&R
• Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with spa-like amenities
• Budget-conscious music fans who want a bit of luxury without the city chaos

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant offers delicious meals throughout the day, and room service is available 24/7—ideal for late-night cravings after a gig. The bar is perfect for a nightcap, and with a fridge in every room, you can keep your own snacks and drinks chilled. Breakfast is served on-site, making it easy to fuel up even after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While The Lake House focuses more on relaxation, it’s a short drive to Canandaigua’s bars and lounges for post-show drinks. The hotel bar itself offers a curated list of wines, craft cocktails, and lakeside views for a more low-key vibe. You might even catch local musicians performing live in the area or at nearby venues.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s beautiful lake views, friendly staff, and modern rooms. Many highlight the peaceful atmosphere and say it's a great place to unwind after a busy night. The hot tub and fire pits are especially popular with those looking to relax. Reviewers consistently mention how clean and stylish the property is, and how close it is to both natural attractions and entertainment.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that room rates can be on the higher side, especially during peak weekends. While the hotel’s calm setting is a plus for many, those looking for a livelier scene may need to venture into town. Limited walkable nightlife means a short drive or rideshare is needed after events.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking lakeside luxury with a calm, stylish vibe, The Lake House on Canandaigua offers an ideal base—close enough to the music, but far enough to truly relax.
