Inside the main house, knotty pine walls hug the perimeter. Oversized furniture accents the cozy feel to the living room and welcomes you "home." A country kitchen provides all you need and more to make mealtime a breeze! Throughout the Solitude property, four refrigerators are available and make settling in at the lake easier. Off the kitchen is a cozy bedroom with queen bed; perfect for relaxing any time of day the way the sun shines in from the four-season room.

Upstairs, a master bedroom with king bed has its own private ensuite bath. Completing the main house, two private bedrooms are perfect for a small family to share. Each bedroom is accompanied by a full-size standard bed, and full-size murphy bed for you to enjoy. An adjoining jack-and-jill bathroom provides easy access to and from each room.

Perfect for in-law's, the guest house has two separate living quarters both with full kitchens and the downstairs offers a full-size washer and dryer. Both levels offer a private bedroom and full bathroom.

The boat house has a full bathroom and two bedrooms. Enjoy some coffee on the balcony for some picturesque views of the lake and the closest access to the beach from these living quarters.

Solitude offers the perfect retreat for family and friends to escape. Whether you want to spend your vacation playing tennis on the full-size tennis court, you'd like to relax in the hot tub, take the canoe for a paddle or fish off the dock; there's something for everyone at this cozy home! End your day roasting a marshmallow at the fire pit and toasting the day with your new Finger Lakes brew!

Bristol Mountain Ski Resort is nearby and offers entertainment year-round for the leaf peeper, skier or wedding crowd. Enjoy a water hike on a hot day at Naples own Grimes Glen, and stop over to Joseph's Wayside Market for some fresh produce and local flavor. A trip north to the Town of Canandaigua will have you walking along Kershaw Park where Twisted Rail Brewing, Young Lion Brewing, and the New York Kitchen will steal your heart. Solitude is boasting with opportunistic fun and quintessential, classic lake life. Call and make your reservation today!

*Please Note: Solitude is easily accessed by a long paved driveway that has a covered canopy as you near the house. The canopy measures about the same height as a standard garage door entry. Most standard full-size vehicles (ie. Chevy Tahoe) can fit down under this canopy but an oversized truck or standard cars with roof racks may not fit. Parking for over-sized vehicles can be found approximately 200 feet above the Main House directly before the canopy begins.

**4WD, or AWD is recommended for fall reservations.
**Access to the beach is made by walkdown path or by steps. Those less agile may prefer a property that is more level.

Beautiful lakefront

The location of this property is ideal for people who want to spend a lot of time by the lake. The boat house has a bathroom and fridge, so you can limit your treks up and down the stairs with a little planning. We used the kayaks multiple times. The tennis courts are really nice. There is even a very nice spectating structure with shade and several pieces of outdoor furniture up there. And ample rackets and balls for anyone to use. The houses themselves are all pretty basic, but certainly satisfactory for our purposes. We were there to enjoy the lake and be outside, so it was ideal. The owner took us out for a boat ride, too. Which was very nice. A great stay. Would recommend to anyone who didn’t mind their sleeping quarters being spread out a little.

Be Warned

I rented this property and found it to be falsely described in the website advertisement. The photographs on their website are old and do not show the state of disrepair that the property is in. There are also untrue facts in the description such as zero stairs to enter property (there are several and some are not built to code). Stairs to lake advertised as 39 when there are actually 53. The stairs to the lake are dangerously supported or not supported at all. The rails on the patio are held up by both plastic and metal chains. We were unable to use the patio at all as it is so crooked you can't sit safely in a chair on it without tipping. Outdated pictures on the website fail to show this property's true condition. The house was also not clean, had unpleasant odors, a/c inadequate, mildew in hot tub, rotted wood throughout. Owner told us to just run the a/c 24/7 and keep windows open to deal with the odors. 2 of the skylights over the dining area leaked every time it rained. Some of the advertised parking areas were over an 1/8 of a mile up a steep incline. Because we did not receive what was rented to us, we left early without compensation from the company. They sent their technicians out to see the issues and they agreed with all of our complaints and even found more. Nothing could be done to correct these during our stay. FLPP told us we could leave the 2nd day and get our money back, but we had nowhere to go and several guests were scheduled to fly in throughout our stay. They would not relocate us. In hindsight, I looked at the reviews for Finger Lakes Premier Properties and found that there are many renters with the same issues. They should not be allowed to continue taking customers' money through fraudulent advertising. I have photos and videos to support all of my claims.

Hi Wendy, our guest services and maintenance have communicated with you promptly on the issues you experienced during your stay and even offered to alleviate you of staying in these conditions per your safety concerns with a full refund and it was declined on your behalf. Since your stay the owner has been approved by the town inspector for his short term rental permit. Any further requests would be best resolved by calling guest services at 888-414-5253.

Great weekend

Great weekend up there with friends. Great amenities on site. Abundance of space for our large group.

Lots of space for families - bring your pickleball gear!

There were 16 of us ages 14-80. This place is not for those who have mobility issues. We enjoyed our stay and the property. We got lots of use of the tennis court - we played pickleball for hours! The hot tob was nice as it was chillier weather. We brought our boat so we were on the dock a lot and the boys fished from the dock. The biggest drawback was the driveway is quite steep and the canopy is limiting if you have a big truck ( say, for pulling the boat) and shuffling cars is tricky. We also had water pressure issues in the main house. Whenever someone was showering or using the laundry there would be almost no pressure anywhere else. The other houses had no issue with this. They could use a bit more large sized cooking pans for those of us trying to cook for big groups. The patio was nice with a beautiful view of the lake. We sat out there every morning and evening. The Sun room was great for dining or playing games and bird/critter watching. Overall it was a great family vacation.

Group of friends for a weekend get away

The property was a perfect size to visit with a diverse group of friends. The sleeping arrangements were able to accommodate a diverse group of couples and single persons. Group meals were a bit of a challenge if all guests from main and guest houses dined together in terms of spacing. In general, it was great for a weekend getaway or longer. The location on the water was picturesque and absolutely enjoyable.
