*NEW!* LOUNGE AT THE LAKE HOUSE ON CANANDAIGUA
CANANDAIGUA, NEW YORK
This year we can all appreciate a good dose of heartwarming nostalgia, and what environment drums up pleasant memories more than a lakeside escape? There may be no better place to celebrate summer in style than The Lake House on Canandaigua, set in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York. For good reason, this sophisticated, newly opened property was named one of “The most anticipated hotel openings of 2020” by Vogue.
Whether you’re after the quiet life or long for outdoor adventure, you’ll find both in the resort’s elevated experiences. Prepare for postcard-worthy views of pristine nature as you walk in creek beds toward waterfalls on guided wellness hikes, hop on a captained pontoon boat for scenic sunset, or grab a complimentary fishing rod. If your sense of thrill revolves around culinary arts, try stellar local produce at Rose Tavern, visit a tasting room to sip the region’s internationally celebrated wines, and try your hand at beekeeping at a local farm.
