Our two weeks at Respite were everything we were hoping it would be - peaceful, easy access to the lake, beautiful sunsets. The house was charming. The hosts were quick to respond and very accommodating.

A classic Keuka cottage....

We had a wonderful time at the lake, and absolutely loved staying at your fabulous cottage. It reminded me of the one we had when I was a kid. If you ever need a reference to vouch for how nice your place is just let us know.

Excellent location, beautiful view & comfortable cottage

Highly recommend - cottage was very clean & comfortable. Location and view were amazing (including sunsets). Good size lakefront and very nice dock. Wraparound porch with rockers was a favorite with our family. Cottage was well stocked and had AC. Convenient location with access to wineries & restaurants. We also really appreciated use of kayaks.

Million dollar view!

This property was Keuka perfection. Everything was updated but still vintage. It brought back so many memories of staying on Keuka 50 years ago. I would highly recommend selecting this property if you want to relax and enjoy all that the finger lakes have to offer!

Delightful

Very pleased with our stay on Keuka Lake. Location is ideal for all exploration of the neighboring area. Although we had cooler weather, we did not have any complaints, and in fact, enjoyed each and every day. Kayaked beautifully and relaxed with a book, if we were at the lake, and had fun exploring when we felt like it. A delightful cottage-just what we hoped for and so we will be back again.

Great time at Respite

We had a great week at Respite. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved relaxing on the porch taking in the view of the lake. Having kayaks available for our use was great. The bedrooms were tiny but the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were updated. The location was close to both Hammondsport and Penn Yan. Smooth check-in and check out. We hope to return!

Beautiful view!

We loved our time at Respite. The porch is huge and has the best view of Keuka. We are used to staying in a very rustic Adirondack cabin so having a a microwave, washer/dryer and dishwasher was a big upgrade. My boys caught many fish including small/large mouth bass, pickerel and perch. Parking is tight, and neighbors are close, so lake manners are important to consider. We loved the kitchen and antiques.

Respite lives up to its name!

This cozy cottage is just that. It's nice, warm, and welcome. The kitchen has been updating and was great for cooking family meals. The beds were nice, and the house was clean. The wrap around porch and back yard are the starts of this property. They are perfect for eating, playing games, and such easy access to the lake with all the accessories (kayaks, tubes, fishing rods, life jackets including toddled life jackets etc.) give plenty of activities to do just in the backyard. A final note - The AC unit was great and kept us cool on the few hot days we were there.

Beautiful view of Lake Keuka

The view is fabulous from this cottage on the lake. Nice dock with Adirondack chairs to lounge in. Two kayaks and a canoe right on the beach with nice life vests stored in a well organized basement. We had a wonderful time here. Close to Keuka Village where The Switz restaurant/bar is located. This is also a nice rode to run/walk. Kitchen is well stocked and plenty of chairs on the deck overlooking the lake. Bedrooms are on the smaller side, fine for one person, tight for two. Parking area is big enough for two cars, just a challenge to get them parked.

What a perfectly appointed and located cottage!

We had such a wonderful time at this cottage, everything we needed was readily available and Gary responded to any questions immediately! Our family with our 2 year old granddaughter had an amazing time and she loved kayaking every morning singing “Row, row, row your boat”. We hope to be able to enjoy next year!

Perfect Getaway

First off the hosts were wonderful to work with. We faced some unexpected circumstances and thought we may have to cancel our entire trip - hosts were SO kind and flexible with us and were able to adjust our time. This took a huge load of stress off us & was such a blessing. The cottage is just gorgeous- beautiful woodwork & period details, lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated. The kitchen was well stocked and just the right size. We've stayed many places and this porch may be the best one we've seen- screened in side with picnic table, front side with multiple comfy rocking chairs and another picnic table, all well covered so even on a rainy day we were able to enjoy being outside. The beach area was just perfect for our 7 year old- docks made perfect barriers so she knew where she could touch. We're also a rockhound-type family so we enjoyed the beach for that as well. Kayaks were great as was the beachside firepit. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone. It offered our family much needed relaxation and time away together. Thank you!!!

Beautiful view of Keuka Lake

Overall, our stay was great. Gary had been very responsive prior to and during our trip whenever I reached out to him with questions. The view is about as good as you can get! The covered porch was the perfect spot for all family members ranging in age 3 to 66 to relax. The swimming area is nice and shallow, and even not too deep once you get past the dock, which made it very nice for my young kids to enjoy the water. Respite is centrally located and you can get to many restaurants and shops within 20 or so minutes. The only complaint I have, which there isn't much that can probably be done about, is the parking is very tight. We had two mini vans and it took some maneuvering skills, but we made it work thoughtout the week. The on-site laundry was great, and the stocked kitchen was very convenient! Would love to go back some day.

Another peaceful week on Keuka Lake

This was our second stay at Respite Cottage and we found it to be just as lovely, clean and quaint, with the same cozy cottage feel as our first stay. We looked forward to returning ever since we booked our reservation with Gary and Becky. The day we arrived was HOT and it was a huge to come into a cooled cottage. An air conditioning wall unit had been added since our last stay, which made our first few days and nights so much more comfortable. Our mornings started by sitting on the covered porch in a rocking chair with a cup of coffee, newspaper and taking in the beautiful lake view and activity on the water. We caught up with family and friends with plenty of room to share meals together on the porch picnic tables. There are plenty of spaces to catch up on reading and relaxing either on the porch, down by the water or out on the dock sitting in the Adirondack chairs. On cooler evenings we built bonfires down by the lake to sit around and enjoy a nightcap. Gary and Becky are great to communicate with, have made improvements to the cottage, updated furniture inside and out since our last visit and make it possible for renters to enjoy their entire experience and vacation while at Respite Cottage. Thank you again!

Perfection

This is our second year at Respite and it was as nice as I remembered. We had a relaxing, beautiful stay in this quintessential lake home. Cozy, compact, and complete, the space is small but very well arranged and very convenient for all our activities. Our family circumstances will be different next year, so I didn't book it for next year as I did on the way home last year but I hope we will return!

Location location location! This has to be one of the best views on keuka lake. We spent most of our vacation on the porch in a rocking chair or on the dock while our kids swam. The best!

Best views on the lake

This little cottage on Keuka has the best views of the bluff, sunsets are wonderful, especially sitting on the end of the dock! The home was as listed; kitchen had everything you would ever need during your stay. The screen porch was the perfect spot to check in with the office and complete some conference calls and the rocking chair porch perfect for all that reading we like to do when we are away and staying on the water. Spent most of our time on the porch, the dock and on the water - kayaks were great, light and easy to maneuver. Hosts were attentive and easily accessible if needed. Very conveniently located to any thing and everything you would want to do. We love Keuka and so enjoyed our stay at the cottage!

Charming Lakeside Cottage

It's just as shown in the pictures - a charming lakeside cottage. We particularly loved the huge porch, to sit with a glass of local wine or cup of coffee and enjoy the view of the lake and the wooden bluff. A couple of things to note: as shown in the pictures, you are very close to your neighbors. Fortunately everyone was very friendly! Also there is no A/C if you are looking for that. Would rent again!

Lovely week

This place was exactly as shown and perfect for us. The spaces are compact and cozy but everything is thoughtfully arranged and if you spend most of the time outdoors, as we did, it was just fine. Very thoughtful touches everywhere and extremely well supplied, especially the kitchen. Even the knives were sharp (a consistent issue in rentals in my experience). The porches above the water, looking down the lake were just heavenly. We can't wait to go back!

Truly a Respite

Outside of staying with friends at their homes, this is bar none my favorite Keuka home so far. The location is perfect. We spent hours in the rocking chairs in the porch. It has everything you need in a compact spotless space. When we weren’t in the rockers we were on the dock or in a kayak. It was perfect for our family of four.

Stay at Respite on Keuka

The Respite Cottage was a wonderful place to spend time as a family on Keuka Lake. The location, views, and swimming were all terrific. We really enjoyed our stay and sharing the Finger Lakes with our boys.
