We searched for winter’s coziest retreat, so you don’t have to. Meet The Lake House on Canandaigua, a MICHELIN Guide recommended resort nestled in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes.

Picture luxurious lakefront accommodations, fine dining, a hot tub + heated pool with panoramic views, plus a world-class spa and Nordic barrel saunas. For outdoor enthusiasts, there’s plenty of skiing + other adventures nearby.

Catch the vibe for this hotel on Instagram or online. Pro tip: Use code WINTER to save 20% off a two-night stay, or 25% off three or more nights.
