Notes from Renters...
Dear Kerry,
We had an absolute blast while staying at the White Haven. The views and scenery around was beautiful and serene. Honeoye Lake is not as frequently visited by tourists, which made the vacation even more special. We enjoyed every bit of the week we spent there, getting fresh bread and muffins from the bakery (Cornerstone Market) every day, the kids fishing on the lake, the lakeside grilling in the evenings and the comfortable cabin. Want to thank you for going above and beyond our expectations and taking us on a boat ride on your boat, an experience the kids will cherish. Thanks for promptly taking care of everything and mailing back the deposit within days of our return. I hope you can post this on your site. If we come back to the Finger Lakes, we would love to come stay there again.

Dear Kerry,
We just received our security deposit check in the mail. Thank you for sending it so quickly! As usual, you are right on top of things. I know that it goes without saying, but we can't thank you enough for giving Lisa and I (and our friends & family!) the opportunity to enjoy some time back at beautiful Honeoye Lake. Since that Memorial Day weekend back in 2008, when you were able to get us into White Haven at the very last minute, on that Friday night, we haven't had to look any further for absolutely outstanding accommodations at extremely reasonable prices each year. The only disappointment this past summer was that we never got around to staying at the Field House...(can't wait to see the new kitchen!!!). Oh well, I know that we'll be there soon enough. As always, the Adirondack Retreat and White Haven were fabulous, of course. Clean, warm, and inviting. We can't wait to come back again next year for some fantastic large mouth bass fishing and relaxing nights by the fire. My wife loves to take the dog for long walks at Harriet Hollister Spencer & Sandy Bottom Parks, so she's looking forward to coming back, too.
I've lost count of how many times we've rented from you since that weekend in 2008 - it has to be at least a dozen - and I honestly can't think of any instance when there was a real problem; and you've always made yourself available...no matter what. Unless we're fortunate enough to one day own our own cottage on Honeoye, I'm looking forward to working with you & Chris for years to come. Thank so much for making us feel like family, while always maintaining complete professionalism. It's really a breath of fresh air to work with someone with real warmth, and integrity to boot.
See you in 2011!

Kerry,
Got our note and check from you today. We all have commented at some point that we wish we were back at "our" lakehouse. It was wonderful and exactly what we needed...we just got news that my husband and son (who stayed with us) are being deployed to Iraq soon for a year. NOT what we were expecting but it makes the time we spent together as a family that much more important. So again thank you for renting to us - it was better than we had ever wished for. God bless you and if things work out we will be back next year - same time same place.

Kerry & Chris,
Thanks so much for the use of your cottage. This place is amazing! So quaint and homey - we didn't want to leave. We appreciate the hospitality. Thanks for letting us borrow the hatchet and fishing pole - both came in handy (especially once we realized one of the poles we brought was broken!) We'll definitely be back!
Thanks again,
Stacey and Jeremy
"If you are looking for a wonderful, peaceful lake view of beautiful Honeoye Lake and spacious accommodations, you will not need to look any further. Honeoye Lake Rentals should be your one and only call. We have had the pleasure of staying at both White Haven and the Adirondack A-Frame. Both are beautiful and have every amenity that you could possibly need. You will find that the rental rates are very competitive and a great value for what you are actually getting. Upon arrival you will find the rental clean and inviting with a welcome basket waiting for you on the table and even a personal note from Kerry. Kerry is a pure pleasure to work with and is always willing to accommodate your needs. She will make sure that you have everything that you need and will make the necessary arrangements to accommodate a need if one should arise. When asked if there was anything that needed to be added or addressed a few years back the only thing that came to mind was to ask for perhaps a longer dock. The following year low and behold there was a longer dock.
If you are looking to relax and get some fishing or boating in, you will not be disappointed. The rentals are located directly across the lake from the public launch and have great flat lake frontage. Honeoye is great for fishing for bass, walleye, sunfish, blue-gill and crappie. We have three teenagers and if we can keep all of them happy that is saying something. We spend our time fishing, tubing, swimming and just tooling around in the boat. The kids also like the fact that there is an ice cream boat that goes around the lake as well.
During our stays we have also visited Geneseo (shopping ~ Wegmans and a super Walmart & food ~ tons of fast food), Minnehans (go carts, miniature golf and arcade), the movie theatre in Canandaigua, ice cream in town and at Gullaces in Bloomfield. Cummings Nature Center & Bristol are also a short drive from the rentals. Trident Marina is located across the lake so you can get all the bait you want and any boating necessities needed. You will find a grocery and drug store located in town for easy shopping access. There is also a great playground at the Honeoye Central School located in town."

"Having been brought up in the beautiful NY North Country on Lake Champlain, I was absolutely taken with the ambiance of the Adirondack Lodge. I made a decision to rent the lodge instantaneously after meeting Kerry Sherman, the property manager. Her sincerity and unpretentious manner made me feel that this space was going to be an annual part of my family’s future summer vacation experience. I have since rented the lodge in the fall, winter and spring along with our 4-5 week summer vacations. Kerry and her husband Chris have done everything to make sure our every need was met. I remember calling them on New Year’s eve with an issue with the water pump. They came all dressed up on their way to a party to assess the problem and return to fix it and before leaving, obviously late for their party, bringing us two bottles of champagne for the inconvenience that we had endured. This is so unusual in this world of fast pace and indifference. The lodge is always warm, inviting and meticulously clean. My family loves the quiet and tranquil simplicity of the lake and its surroundings. We will rent here for many years to come."

Hi Kerry- I'm sure you have a million and don't need another - but this is a heartfelt note and thanks for all the wonderful times we have spent in your beautiful cottage.
The Honeoye Field House is our favorite Summer vacation spot! We look forward to staying there every year - not just for the lovely view, lakefront access, boat dock, all the space in the cottage, bathrooms, grill; piano & cable TV & cards, books, puzzles for rainy days - but also for the warmth and hospitality of our thoughtful hostess Kerry who always makes sure we have everything we need and more. For 7+ years and counting, our family looks forward to staying at the Field House to enjoy all the lake-front fun and relaxation that Honeoye Lake has to offer. Looking forward to many more!
Best,
Paula
