Great experience!

We (a group of 10 older adults) stayed here during a kayaking trip. We loved the house, property, and area. Owners were very nice and helpful. The house had everything we needed, and much more. Dock, rear porch, outdoor seating, beach & fire pit were favorites. House was clean, well stocked, comfortable. Nice sitting area and large TV. This place is really amazing! Thank you for letting us stay here.

It’s a Grape Life was a wonderful place to stay. My friends and I cooked dinner there, hung out on the dock, went swimming, sat on the back porch, and just enjoy the house in general. It is a wonderful place to stay! The owners, Rick and Peg, are absolutely wonderful.

Family lakeside getaway

This is a wonderful house! Gorgeous view of Lake Keuka, with beautiful sunsets over the hills on the other side. So well appointed: dock with chairs, beach with kayaks, a grill, a fire pit, a porch with more chairs, kitchen and dining room with lake views, pots, pans and multiple coffee makers, multiple bedrooms with multiple beds with multiple chargers,... 13 of us were able to stay there very comfortably! The Grape family made us feel so welcome there by meeting us at the house and showing us every detail, and answering our every question quickly beforehand. Plus, the house is in a cozy, quiet neighborhood of lakeside homes, in a beautiful part of New York State with so many natural wonders to explore, and far enough away from the big cities to be truly relaxing. Enjoy, just come and enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Rick & Peg Grape

Host profile image
We LOVE Keuka more than any lake we have ever been to because of the crystal clear weed free water, the beautiful views, the multiple restaurants on the lake and 7 miles from the quaint village of Hammondsport. After renting at Keuka for over 20 years we finally took the plunge and purchased our slice of Keuka Paradise.

Why they chose this property

9551 Crystal Beach Rd Hammondsport 14840
Our cottage is on the coveted East side in the cozy private community called Crystal beach. After renting various cottages for over 20 years which each had between 15 & 60 steps from parking to the lake. We are now located on a level lot with no steps from the parking lot to the beach unless you go through the house and have 2 steps on one side and 5 on the other.

What makes this property unique

With 5 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms and the ability to sleep 14 people it has plenty of room for one large family or even 2 or 3 smaller family's. We have rented 1 bathroom cottages and need I say 2 bathrooms are a MUST have. We have also rented places with only 2 parking spots and now we have more than ample parking. Also some cottages had room for us to sleep but not enough room for us to sit in a living area together. Our family room / dining room area can seat 14. We are a year round cottage with both a gas fireplace and individual room electric heat along with air conditioning in all 5 bedrooms.
