About this property

Birchwood Cottage, 200ft of Lake Beach-Fully flat lot -Private Driveway

**** WE JUST PUT IN A NEW HUGE LAKE-SIDE COVERED PORCH WITH A CEILING FAN (added 2025). We love making our place better for our renters!!

WELCOME summer and Fall Bachelorette Parties for wine trail weekends or extended stay. ***If you are booking in July or August, it's a 7-day minimum, and a Saturday to Saturday checkout schedule. ***

WELCOME to Finger Lakes Wine Country and Keuka Lake! This exclusive private home is prepared for your family to relax and enjoy. We love improving it every year! The fully flat lot entitles guests to drive down a long private drive, parking off the road. The first floor provides a tremendous living room with a fireplace and TV, a fully renovated kitchen, and a dining room with a 10-foot farmhouse dining table and vaulted ceilings. The 3 sets of French doors allow a monumental view of Keuka Lake. No hillside staircases or obstacles detain you from 220 feet of private flat beach and large dock. Our new concrete "sea-wall" extends along the beach with wide custom concrete steps that allow you to walk right into the crystal clear water( added 2024). The main floor also provides 1 1/2 bathrooms and a new king-size bed in the main level guest room. The 2nd floor features a Primary bedroom with floor-to-ceiling window views of the lake. Also on the 2nd floor is a Children's room with a loft twin bed and full-sized bed, and a full bath with double sinks.
The lower-level "bonus room" provides window views of the lake and loft-style bunk beds, with a queen bed as well as a pack-n-play. We added new coffee bar (2025) with a wine fridge and keurig. The giant flat yard allows for families to play volleyball, football, cornhole, and more. Private Parking for 4 vehicles. You're definitely on the wine trail!! Over 20 private wineries and micro-breweries are less then 16 minutes away (check out our chalkboard in the kitchen for exact driving distance to wineries and breweries as a quick reference)! The home offers informational brochures for hundreds of vineyards, breweries, additional activities, and bars and restaurants. A tremendously expansive patio (and 2025 update- covered porch!!) with Adirondack chairs and outdoor dining is just steps from the crystal clear water of New York's best-kept secret. Our patio table and benches seats 10+. The house also offers a firepit with new additional Adirondack chairs as well as sunbathing loungers. Welcome to your Escape! July to September bookings must be a minimum of 7 days. Spring, Fall, & Winter bookings can vary. Check winery hours, as many wineries and breweries on the Finger Lakes wine trail are now open year round, with charter bus rentals available.

We had a fantastic family trip. The best kept secret is the beach area - we had a blast just hanging in the water, felt safe and away from any boat activity. Close to a playground to give the kiddos another activity, and great location to golf too! Trying to work it into our vacation rotation again.

We loved that the house had an open concept. We could all be together as a family whether you were in the kitchen, living room or dining room. The new patio where we spent most of our time has a large table that accommodated all of us for eating our meals and playing games. It also provided us with a shaded area during that very hot week. Our family had an amazing week at Birchwood cottage and will definitely come back. Thanks Drew!

Another great week on Keuka Lake with my wife, daughters and their significant others, and my three grandchildren. Responsive host. Easy parking. Grandkids love the water and at this property it’s very easy to monitor them so they can spend hours each day, getting in and out whenever they want. My family travels a lot, including internationally, and this is always their favorite vacation.

My entire family had an amazing stay at Birchwood Cottage. The new covered porch allowed us to be outside no matter the weather. When indoors the air conditioning worked well and we were comfortable at all times. Drew was easy to contact whenever we had questions or concerns. We’ve already booked the cottage for next year and hope to return.

This was our 4th year staying in this cottage, we love this property, and even more so since the patio has a cabana covering part of it. A very nice upgrade! The host has always been very quick to respond to any requests. We have family in the area and plan to return often.

Girls Trip

Amazing house with all the necessities and rooms we needed to celebrate a girls weekend and turning 60! We lived on the covered outdoor patio (a huge plus) when we weren't touring all the local wineries. Not enough days to do everything we wanted, but the location was perfect! The region is stunning and we are already planning a trip back! Thanks for offering your beautiful home!

Cousins Trip!

My female cousins, sisters and I go on annual trip every year. We had a wonderful time. Great Location, clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We really enjoyed the back patio. We ante several meals out there when it wasn’t too windy! We also really loved being right on the lake!! We fished off the dock and had a really great time catching 53 fish on our trip! We threw them all back, but it was still great fun! We visited several wineries, and pottery shops! We will definitely be back!! Thank You!

Fabulous lakeside getaway

We had a multigenerational family vacation at this lovely and well-appointed lake house. We loved the ever changing views of the lake over the course of the day, the easy access to the water via the dock and beach and the comfortale house with lots of different spaces for gathering and sleeping. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back!

Perfect location by lake

The cottage is location worked perfectly for our group, even though we stayed in late November, we enjoyed the morning lake views. The cottage itself is as described, tasty decoration. Kitchen was equipped sufficiently to meet our 10 people. Sheets and beds were comfortable, I only wish we had few more bathroom towels . Overall we had wonderful time.

Beautiful, Relaxing, Fun Stay on Keuka Lake

Birchwood Cottage is a gorgeous retreat. It is beautifully decorated, cozy, stocked with amenities, and has views that make you never want to leave. It has plenty of space to host a family getaway- yard space for games, a covered patio to take a break from the heat, spacious rooms and kitchen, and a beautiful lakefront view.We rented kayaks, paddleboards, and a lily pad, and had a fun-filled 4 days at Keuka Lake!There were a few minor snafus including lights not working upstairs, an empty propane tank and dirty grill, and an inoperable Firestick remote for the tv.The most notable, however, were the safety concerns about the dock and steps leading into the water. -The dock has multiple boards that are uneven, unscrewed or loose. It is a severe tripping hazard. A member of our party took a nasty tumble on the dock. Additionally, the last two steps leading into the water were so slippery that we had to find a means to clean it ourselves to avoid other spills. Hopefully Drew will address those issues for future guests.It really is an amazing place to stay and is highly recommended!

Wonderful get away

We had a wonderful time at Birchwood cottage, the decor and the property are beautiful and the access to the lake couldn’t be nicer. From fishing off the dock to watching the sun rise from the patio we made good use of the outdoor spaces. Keuka lake is crystal clear and beautiful. There are a number of wineries within a few minutes drive of the cottage. It does take 20 mins or so to get to a grocery store but all in all it wasn’t that far to get to Penn Yan for these items. We would definitely return again!

Birchwood Cottage Review

Great house on Keuka Lake. Rented the cottage for a friends weekend, which this house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of outdoor space with great lake frontage. Dock was a great feature. Boat launch was right down the street as well. Caught a few bass off the dock. House is in good shape. Floors are a little slanted in the kitchen/dining area, but wasn't a concern at all. Overall, I would rent and recommend this cottage.

Excellent “sisters” vacation!

We loved this cabin! It was clean, cozy, there was plenty of room for all 6 of us and our 2 dogs. Among the kitchen utensils that were available for us, there were even dog dishes (we did bring our own but we thought it was awesome)!!! Communication was appropriate and accurately described in description. Getting in was easy, buying wood was easily located, the town with restaurants and local shops was only a 1-2 mile drive! I’m totally going to book again in the future, and I highly recommend this lovely cabin to others!

Amazing despite the smoke

Beautiful cottage and the location is perfect. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable. We have been staying at kueka for many years but this is the first time staying on the west side and we decided the west is the best! The seaweed is minimal and it’s not muddy. The location is within 15 min of nice restaurants and shopping. Our 2 year old grandson had so much fun. Our vacation was amazing despite the smoke from the fires in Canada. We definitely recommend this property !!

Love our stay here.Love the bed downstairs.Wish there was a fireplace as it says.Think a canopy could be provided so visitors could have access to some shade.Explain better about garbage to the street because both times it’s been slap full when we arrived.I have a bad back unable to take theirs and mine all the way down to the road.Half bath not very usable due to seat all over the place.plastic nuts stripped.But we love it just some quirks
