About this property

Private, Level, Beachfront Cottage; No Stairs To Beach!

Situated on the East side of beautiful Keuka Lake, our large, level, private beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, boating and relaxing! Our cottage is 5 miles from shops and restaurants in Penn Yan and a 15 minute drive from Hammondsport, which was recently named 'America's Coolest Small Town'!

We are within walking distance of Rooster Hill Winery and a short drive from at least 15-20 of the best wineries in the Finger Lakes!

Our cottage is located on a quiet point on East Lake Road, which is perfect for walking, running, biking and strolling!

Cottage completely painted and re-carpeted in Fall 2024-Early Winter 2025! Back patio floor resurfaced Fall 2024!

Our three kids have spent their summers on this lovely, quiet and serene point. It is truly the perfect spot for a family vacation or adult getaway.

the house was perfect. A few key things I look for in a VBRO, is a clean home, comfortable beds and sufficient wine glasses. This house had it all! A few notable mentions were being right on the lake to enjoy the beautiful view and the peacefulness of the neighborhood. We were a group of eight and I admit when we rented the house we were nervous it might be too small for us, but it wasn't. There was plenty of room!Thank you for sharing your home!Brenda Wiegand

Girls weekend

Our stay was great! Property owners are right next door and it was so nice to be greeted as soon as we got there. Photos don’t do this place justice! So spacious and clean. For reference, dock was big enough to dock our pontoon boat and the water was deep enough.

Perfect for Family

What more is there to say when it’s a 5-star property?! Perfect location with yard to play with grandchildren ages 2-8. Add to that an amazing, well-appointed kitchen that needs nothing except your food, super clean inside, and owners who are friendly & provide excellent communications. Thank you to Gary & Sue for giving our family a wonderful getaway from this crazy world!

Absolutely Perfect in Every Way

Five friends - mature women - spent a perfect long weekend with plenty of room to be together or apart. The cottage (more like a house) is pristine, beds are comfortable, and the location is convienent from all directions. Being right on the lake was more than an added bonus even in the Fall. Will be booking again - a unanimous decision.

This place was glorious!

My family and I visited for a weekend during peak fall in October. It was beautiful. Leaves were astonishing, wine was great, beds were comfy. Waking up on the water with coffee was everyone’s ideal. We met the owners and they were fantastic! Very nice and accommodating! We plan to visit again!

Wow!

We had an amazing time at this location. Gary and Sue were so welcoming and kind. The property was so clean and comfortable. We had direct access to the lake and a beautiful open grassy area. There is a fire pit and multiple areas to sit and enjoy the lake. This property is only 9 minutes from the downtown area and even closer to wineries on the back road. This is the perfect location for guests attending weddings at the Crispin Hill wedding venue. We give this location 5 stars and plan to return yearly for our women's weekend celebration. Thank you Gary and Sue

Weekend Getaway

The house was very clean and comfortable, and Gary and Sue were responsive to any issues and needs that arose. The weather was cooler than we expected so we weren't able to sit outside and enjoy the lake, but spending time with our family after a long pandemic winter was just what we needed!

Keuka Lake - A beautiful fall getaway!

Sue and Gary were delightful hosts and their lovely cottage on the lake was just perfect. A quiet and private location, with a beach area and dock, coupled with the pretty landscaping and every amenity one could need made this one of our most memorable trips ever. We just loved Keuka and it's smaller size and charm. The house was spotless, clean and organized. We can't wait to return!
