About this property

Hilltop Cottage with Stunning Lake Views

Welcome to Whispering Pines, a newer hilltop cottage with stunning lake views. With 3 queen bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 decks and lots of yard, there is plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy lake life.

Our home is located across the road from the steps to our lake access. Please feel free to enjoy the waterfront and dock but the boat is not for use.

The house is very well stocked with everything you need to feel at home. We have a kid-friendly home with games, toys, Xbox, Wii, and a fun sprinkler to keep kids busy. We also have a high chair and Pack N Play.

Some Details:
- The driveway is steep and can be challenging for some people. Extra care should be taken when going up and down
- We are always reachable while you enjoy your stay but will not disturb your privacy
- Our neighbors are full-time residents so please be mindful of noise in the evenings
- We do not have central AC but there are window AC units in the bedrooms. Please note the AC units are put in Memorial Day weekend and removed Columbus Day weekend.

Leslie’s property is a great vacation spot! The home is sparkling clean, every aspect and need is attended to, the view from the front of the lake is beautiful and relaxing. The property is perfectly located to the Keuka Lake wineries and Keuka State Park. Leslie was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better host! We look forward to a return visit!

Catbird's Seat

We loved our stay at Whispering Pines, where we spent lots of time in the Adirondack chairs overlooking beautiful Keuka Lake. The multiple porches and outdoor spaces were perfect for our group. Listening to a catbird chirp with our a.m. coffee, we felt we were in his seat. Viktor and Leslie were great communicators but didn't hover, and we enjoyed getting to know some of the neighbors too. Great place! Already scheming about a return next year!

Spectacular house with a beautiful view!

This house was the perfect location for our trip to New York and Canada. It is a well supplied and the owners did a great job with each bedroom and decorations. It was very well supplied with everything we needed, the reviews are 100% accurate on how nice it is. I will say that the driveway is definitely steep and since we were motorcycles, it was a little intimidating. Communication with the owners was great. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a getaway in that area.

Amazing Stay

My husband and I stayed at this rental with friends and it was a lovely stay. Great location, great view, amazing home. The house was very clean and stocked with items we would potentially need during our stay. The hosts were great and accomodating, we were traveling a long way and they were able to accommodate our requests to check in early.

Great home & hospitality

Homeowner was great and communication process was spot on. Beautiful home with nice Lake views. Checked out local restaurants and nearby Wineries. Rented a boat from Basin Marina very close by and had a perfect day on the Lake. Would highly recommend staying here.

Highly recommended!

Convenient location, well stocked, spacious and clean place, beautiful views and responsive hosts all made for a relaxing and memorable stay. We launched our kayaks and swam off the beach down the hill every day. Easy drive to the area's parks, wineries, etc. The driveway was manageable for both the parking and daily walks down to the lake (and we had wide range of ages and health conditions in group). I hope to stay here again soon!

Lovely place overlooking the lake

We were very pleased with all aspects of our stay. The view of the lake was perfect- very peaceful and quiet. The home was spotless and tastefully decorated throughout. Check in and check out were easy. We dined on the lake at both the Switz and the Lakefront; both within 10 minutes and beautiful sunsets over the water at both. We would definitely consider booking again, and would recommend to anyone visiting the Lake Keuka area. Thank you Leslie, for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful, relaxing rental

We had a lovely stay at Leslie and Victor’s vacation home. They were exceptional and generous hosts. They provided us with a high chair and some toys for our 1-year-old son. The house was well equipped but perfectly minimal for a vacation home - especially if you are staying there with a young child. The view was amazing. We enjoyed dinner outside on the deck each night. We would highly recommend renting their property and hope to visit again ourselves in the future. Thank you for our wonderful stay!

Perfect house for couples traveling together

Whispering Pines is a newer home that was very clean and comfortable. Everything was very clean and was stocked with everything we could want or need. Leslie one of the Owners was easy/great to work with, responding quickly to the few questions we had. Driveway is steep as explained in the listing. We were very impressed that not only were the sheets and towels clean the quilts were freshly laundered too. Excellent location and would recommend Whispering Pines to anyone looking to a great vacation rental.

Amazing view of Lake.

My husband and I were looking forward to getting away after my husband had radiation to the brain. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to my husband becoming ill. The emergency response people were truly amazing. Wish it turned out differently. 😞. Your home is beautiful and we are grateful we got to stay a couple of nights.
