About this property

If you are looking for a home away from home, FineView Cottage is it! Our 4200 sq. ft. home is fully furnished and made for your relaxation featuring 5 bedrooms (3 queen beds and 9 twin beds), 3 full and 3 half bathrooms, living room (with a queen pull out sofa bed), family room with a stone gas fireplace, dining room and a kitchen with many of the amenities you are accustomed to. Wake up to beautiful sunrises and enjoy 175 feet of level, walk-in lake frontage. There is plenty of room for family and friends to enjoy the outside on the large lawn, beach, and patio areas. Our two docks offer a place to park your boat, with plenty of room to still enjoy swimming and floating. The public boat launch in Penn Yan is only a few short miles away. If you want to relax at the house and still enjoy the lake, take a seat on one of the rocking chairs and enjoy the view from our spacious porch. Finish off your day with a camp fire and fall asleep in one of the large bedrooms to the gentle breaking of wave’s right outside of your window.

FineView is nestled in the Keuka Lake Wine Country and is close to wonderful shops, wineries, museums, and restaurants. The charming Windmill market, originally an Amish trading center, operates every Saturday morning in the summer months where you will find the freshest produce, cultivated and wild flowers, handmade furniture, delicious homemade pies and other delicacies.

Keuka Lake (known as the'Y' lake) is the cleanest Finger Lake... great for fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and water skiing. There are several marinas around the lake and motor boats may be rented by the day or week and tied up to the dock.

We hope you enjoy this special spot as much as our family does and return year after year.

Best,
The Dix Family

Wonderful family vacation!

My entire family of 13 stayed here over Labor Day weekend and we could not have been more happy with our experience. The house had plenty of room for us all, was clean, and well maintained. The setting right on the water was perfect for us to enjoy the beautiful weather. We had bonfires at night, swam all day, and played yard games the whole time. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Beautiful views and property

Beautiful home with very comfortable furnishings. The kitchen has almost every piece of equipment or serving dish you can imagine. We loved the home and surroundings…beach, docks, patio, porch, fish and grassy area that our grandkids LOVED playing in. Evenings by the fire were perfect too. We could not imagine another place more perfect for the 15 of us.

Amazing House!

We booked this house for a girls weekend/bachelorette party weekend for my sister and all of our aunts and friends. It was perfect! We hung in on Friday and had make your own pizza night and Saturday traveled around to the local Wineries and Breweries then had a BBQ. It was large enough to accommodate 15-18 of us and the number of bathrooms was amazing with how many girls there were getting ready at once. Would love to make this an annual event!!

Wonderful.

We've used this home twice for our church's women's leadership retreat. The owners are WONDERFUL, the house is GORGEOUS, and we have zero complaints! We're so grateful this home exists and that we get to rent it. We have a team meeting after we leave, which is when we begin planning our next retreat, and both times everyone has said, "Get that house again!" :)

Great Place To Share With Friends!

We have stayed in several other homes on Keuka Lake and this is by far our favorite. This home was perfect for our annual extra long weekend get-away with college friends. The house was spacious, comfortable, very clean, with several great indoor and outdoor places for the eight of us to gather and catch up. The porch was an awesome place to enjoy the weather and the great views of the lake and the fire pit area was perfect for our evenings. We were able to enjoy the nice added touches of the corn hole game and the golf ball game in the yard. And yes, we really enjoyed the fun and creativity that the chalkboard wall created! The easy in/out access to the lake was great for our daily kayak trips. And Julie was very responsive and helpful in all of our planning and questions before and during our stay. We highly recommend this house and hope to make this a regular vacation spot in the future!

Beautiful setting for large families

My family (now a group of 17 ranging in age from 80yrs old to 8yrs old) booked the house for a long weekend which we have dubbed "Winter Weekend" and really enjoyed ourselves despite the fact that the weather was below zero most days! The house was certainly large enough and we were thrilled that we could ALL sit at the table together for the dinners we cooked. While we were there the lake had frozen over enough for us to cross country ski around on and for those who were looking for a more challenging run we took a few rides over to Keuka Park and went up the trails (ungroomed) there. If you are going in the winter months just note that the drive way slopes down and while it held at least 8 or 9 of our cars the ones at the bottom did need some help getting up but this was to be expected given the weather conditions and we certainly managed.

An Unforgettable Weekend

I organized a weekend getaway for 15 of our friends, 4 of whom were turning 30. The "Fine View Cottage" turned out to be a perfect match for our event. We had couples, we had singles, we had guys, we had girls. All were amazed by the beauty of the lake just steps away from the deck, where we had our morning coffee. We spent our nights around the fire pit that we assembled on the beach, near the lake. We cooked out every night on the grill on the back deck. The girls visited wineries while the guys played "kan jam" and other yard games on the front lawn. There was plenty of space to accommodate our group. The only thing that would have made it better would be bigger beds for us old married couples :) I can't begin to say enough about the owner, Julie. She was incredibly accommodating and empathetic when a freak weather event nearly ruined our trip! Loved this place.

Lovely Home, Wonderful Memories

Our family of 11 which included a range of generations from grandparents to parents to teens to kiddos and toddlers, spent a memorable week at Fine View Cottage. The cottage was everything we expected it to be and then some. We had ample room to be together and have quiet moments when we needed to. The gardens were in bloom and very well maintained. The shoreline was perfect for the little ones to collect and toss rocks, fish from the dock, and play lawn games in the evening. We all enjoyed the ample seating right down at the shoreline, great fire pit, and the rockers on the wonderful porch. We brought two kayaks which were in almost constant use (The five year old became the kayak princess showing perfect form!!!!) and rented a pontoon boat for a day of cruising and tubing. Next year we plan to bring paddle boards for the tweens and teens. The owner, Julie Dix, was ever so responsive to our questions and we couldn't have asked for better and responsive communication. Thank you, Julie, for a most wonderful and memorable family vacation. We absolutely hope to return next summer.

Nicest Place we have stayed on Keuka

This house had it all. There were 11 adults and 5 kids that stayed and we all had plenty of room. WE have stayed on this lake for years but never with such a big group. We told everyone that the homes are all older and we are there for the lake and not the house. Not the case this time! Not only is the outside spacious and tons of fun with a grass area, beach, rocky area to fish and two docks, but the inside is fantastic. We set our friends' expectations too high with this house so we'll probably have to stay here again. The fire pit really helped us wrap up each day and I cannot thank the owners enough for a wonderful experience. If I had to say anything that was not a shining five star review, it would be that I brought all of our food up and saw that there were two refrigerators but one was the owner's fridge and we didn't have access. It would have made life easier with access to two fridges but this is just a comment for improvement but didn't impact the overall great week we had here. Thanks again!

This house was perfect for our big group! It had beautiful lake views, and everything we needed for the weekend.

We had an absolutely lovely stay on keuka lake at Julie’s home! It was the perfect spot for a reunion with friends, there was lots of common space for gathering, cooking and eating, and plenty of space for everyone to sleep.

Bachelorette weekend

This house was beautiful and perfect for our stay. It made the entire weekend enjoyable for everyone we invited. There were 5 girls from Baltimore, Maryland that loved the area and house as well!

About the host

Hosted by Kristie Dix

Ed and Julie grew up in the Elmira area and then moved to Massachusetts after completing their education. Now the proud parents of three great kids - we decided as a family that owning our own place on Keuka Lake was a dream come true.

Why they chose this property

Keuka Lake has always offered our family a variety of activities and we have formed many great memories in and around the lake. Purchasing our Cottage was a true dream come true for all of us!

What makes this property unique

The location on the Lake was what drew us to this particular home. The flat yard and the expansive porch is a place we can enjoy now and see ourselves enjoying for many, many years to come.
