About this property
Shep's Lake House: Large Family Retreat!
Set along 50 feet of pristine Canandaigua Lake frontage, Shep's Lake House is a welcoming family home designed with togetherness in mind—ideal for families and groups looking to slow down and enjoy lake life. Located on a quiet, residential road just south of the City of Canandaigua, the setting offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to town conveniences, parks, and waterfront activities.
With five bedrooms total—two conveniently located on the entry level and three upstairs—the layout is both comfortable and practical for multi-generational stays. The entry level centers around an open kitchen featuring high wood cabinetry, a double oven and a large island with seating for three, making it easy to gather and stay connected during meal prep. Nearby, a formal dining table comfortably seats six, perfect for family dinners, holidays, and game nights.
Two distinct living areas offer flexibility for everyone in the group. A casual living space provides a relaxed spot for everyday lounging, while the formal living room features a gas fireplace and a stunning wall to wall windows, filling the home with natural light and beautiful lake views.
Upstairs, three bedrooms and two full baths are available. The east-facing bedroom, decorated in a fun candy theme, is especially appealing for younger travelers—kids will love the playful décor and bunk bed setup. A hall bath with a shower/tub combination serves this space. To the west, two bedrooms with king beds offer a more private retreat. These rooms share a lake-facing balcony, an ideal spot to unwind and take in spectacular Canandaigua Lake sunsets. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bath with a stand-up shower and a relaxing jacuzzi tub, creating a true owner-style retreat.
Outdoors, guests can make the most of lake living with 50 feet of breakwall and a permanent dock (allows one boat to tie up), perfect for swimming, boating, fishing, or simply soaking in the views. A dining set allows your friends and family to enjoy mealtime with a stunning lake view. Or enjoy relaxing in one of the Adirondack chairs on the dock. Whether you're enjoying sunny days on the water or peaceful evenings watching the sunset, Shep's Lake House offers a classic Canandaigua Lake experience designed for connection and relaxation.
When it's time to explore, you'll find plenty to do nearby. Enjoy great food and drinks at Coho Pizza & Wine Bar, Star Cider, or Twisted Rail Brewing, or catch a concert at CMAC just minutes away. Food lovers can sharpen their skills with a culinary class at New York Kitchen, while those seeking relaxation will love a spa day at The Lake House, the perfect way to unwind and let your cares melt away.
As a bonus - A whole house generator helps to keep lake living a breeze during a power outage!
