The North Star of Honeoye: Family Friendly, Great View of Honeoye Lake!

The North Star of Honeoye is a welcoming Finger Lakes vacation rental perfect for families and friends looking to unwind by the lake while exploring everything the region offers. This beautiful lakefront vacation home sits right on Honeoye Lake and provides stunning views that greet you as soon as you walk in.

Inside, two first-floor bedrooms overlook peaceful garden views and share easy access to a stylish bathroom with a tiled shower. The open kitchen and living space feature expansive windows that bring in natural light and showcase gorgeous lake views. A cozy gas stone fireplace anchors the room, while a plush leather sectional invites everyone to relax, play games, or watch movies together.

The kitchen is a joy to cook in, with custom local cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island that doubles as a breakfast bar. Just off the kitchen, a formal dining area with a farmhouse table offers plenty of space for shared meals. French doors open to a fully covered porch where you can enjoy the fresh lake air and peaceful surroundings.

Upstairs, two master bedrooms provide stunning panoramic views to wake up to every morning. A semi-private fifth bedroom with bunk beds offers extra sleeping space, making this vacation home perfect for families or friend groups. The second full bathroom upstairs completes the comfortable layout.

Step outside to a covered patio filled with cozy seating and space to gather, relax, and enjoy the lake views. The converted boathouse game room offers fun no matter the weather, with bay doors that open to bring the outdoors in. After a day on the lake or exploring local wineries, gather around the lakeside firepit to toast marshmallows and sip Finger Lakes wine under the stars.

The North Star of Honeoye is close to hiking trails, ski areas, and local favorites like Hazlitt's Red Cat Cellars, making it easy to plan adventures for every season. Whether you're here for a wedding, family reunion, or just a relaxing getaway, this lakefront Finger Lakes vacation rental offers everything you need for a memorable stay.

We were here for a ski trip- location was perfect- love that it was so close to town- views of the lake were amazing. House had everything we needed. Also love that the two families had their separate space for rooms.

Vacation Extraordinaire

North Star was lovely well maintained. With two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, it provided convenience and privacy. The house is situated on the beautiful Honeoye Lake and next to a park with a walking trail into the town containing shops and restaurants. We definitely will book another vacation at North Star.

Annual lake vacation

The property was well kept and well situated. Unfortunately the weather was not good so we lost several days to the effects of a tropical storm. Also the marina opened at 9:00 instead of earlier which would have been more convenient. The property had a nice dock and a great view of the lake.

Great Space

Overall this place ticked all of our boxes. There was enough room for 12 of us, there were many areas to hang out (all with great views of the lake), and the boathouse with it's amenities was perfect. We liked being near to the beach and the pickle ball court and the short nature hike to main street. There was a lot of grass in the entire lake so in my opinion not great swimming - but the house met all of our expectations and the host was awesome.

Family Weekend

This property is perfect to bring family together. The house is spacious, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the house is stocked with everything you need for a weekend of family fun. The kitchen has every thing you need to cook as a family and the dining room does seat 12 comfortably. The game room in the garage is fun for the whole family. The view, nature walks, and animal sights kept us entertained. This is our second time this year in this house and we can’t wait to go back.

2024 Family Lake Trip

We were very impressed with this property. It had great water access, for swimming, fishing, boating etc. The kids and adults enjoyed the boat house/game room. Our only issue was a question about the garbage, there was overflowing cans when we got there. I called maintenance and it was picked up, but the recycle was not. The directions said garbage day was Thursday , but nothing was picked up, so the people after us will be stuck with our garbage. But everything else was great, the little ones loved being close to the park for swings and climbing toys. I walked the Nature Trail every morning to start my day.

We enjoyed kayaking, floating in the lake. The house was perfect for our family group of 10. The dock and fire pit were especially awesome and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. We also enjoyed some of the local breweries.

The home fits our family of 12 nicely, we've stayed previously. The outdoor furniture is very uncomfortable. The cushions are past their prime. There were Gnats and spiders on the patio, and we were unable to use it as they got active everyday. The windows are covered in spider webs. Disgusting
