About this property
Fall in love with Keuka at Keuka Kara
Enjoy Keuka Lake on a 149 foot natural shale private beach, large dock for fishing or lakeside entertaining, sleeps up to 18 and has plenty of parking. Keuka Kara has been on the banks of Keuka Lake for 157 years. She is like no other cottage.
This bright, fully renovated home sits directly on the beach, and features plenty of 7 bedrooms, 6 baths, and a gorgeous view of Keuka Lake.
The main entryway leads into a 3,700 square foot open floor plan. On the main floor are the fully furnished kitchen, the bright and spacious living room, and 2 master bedrooms each connected to a full bathroom. Both bedrooms have balconies to capture the serenity of Keuka Lake.
Upstairs, additional sleeping space is available in 4 bedrooms: one with 2 double beds, one with 2 sets of bunk beds ( perfect for youngsters), and 2 master suites (one king and one queen). The two master suite bedrooms have access to the massive deck with gorgeous views of the lake.
We provide linens and towels.
On the road level there is a great room with a modern fully stocked kitchen, dining area overlooking the lake and sitting area by large screen TV.
Outside, 4 decks await, offering a beautiful view of Keuka Lake, as well as two large grills and a variety of Adirondack, and dining seating.
The property sits directly on a 149 foot stretch of private beach, complete with 2 fire pits, ( one wood and one propane) and a permanent dock with additional bench seating.
Keuka Kara has cable TV, WiFi, and is conveniently located a short drive from everything Keuka Lake has to offer.

About the host
Hosted by Sue Pinkey
Chuck grew up in the Finger Lakes area. Finally, after raising four children and semi-retiring from the farm equipment business, we bought Keuka Kara.
Why they chose this property
We wanted a lakeside cottage on beautiful West Lake Road with a large natural beach and plenty of parking. It had to be bright, well built, and large enough to sleep us, our children and their families. It had to be on Keuka, the most beautiful Finger Lake!
What makes this property unique
Near wineries, breweries, the Waterfront Restaurant, Keuka Lake State Park, Lakeside Restaurant, and the Bluff.
