Follow us on Instagram @rusticana_keuka!

The Homes
Rusticana consists of two buildings, an original Cottage built in the 1950s, and the Main House added in 1979.
THE MAIN HOUSE: Cute and cozy with plenty of natural light, the main house boasts spectacular views of the lake from the two huge sliding glass doors in the main room. The doors lead onto a 30-foot-long deck that overlooks the shoreline just a few feet away. Two tables, with seating for 10, plus a gas grill make for a spectacular all-day hangout spot. You will never tire of watching the sun sink over the western hillside while enjoying a glass of local wine, or watching the kids frolic in the crystal clear water. On rainy days or cool evenings, enjoy cable TV, surf the Internet, or lose yourself in a great book. Plenty of card games, board games, and puzzles are available for old fashioned fun. At night, let the soothing sound of the water lapping on the shore lull you to sleep.

2 Bedrooms
1.5 Baths

THE COTTAGE: Lovingly built by the original property owner, but has many recent updates. The wood frame and wood interior cottage boasts two quaint bedrooms (the “honeymoon suite” has a small deck facing the lake), a full bath, an enclosed porch, and a seating area. Grab your coffee mug from the original Hoosier cabinet and get ready to embrace the joy of a day at the lake!

Great spot on the lake, great lake frontage, close to Hammondsport

Stayed for a long weekend, overall great experience and phenomenal hosts. Property is a nice little cottage (that you don’t see a lot of anymore on Keuka). Everything was as described and very clean and ready for our stay. Overall great property, recommend to any couples, families, friend groups looking to just enjoy Keuka.

Long weekend getaway

We had a great time at Rusticana. Perfect location to visit the wineries, breweries and to do a little fishing. Something for everyone in our party. The house was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Nancy was very helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

We had such a wonderful time with our stay at the cabins. Communication with the family was very quick in responding. The best part was that we were able to bring our 2 dogs. Everything you needed for the stay was there! We will definitely be back! Thank you again! The Boncore Family.

Perfect Fall Getaway!

Rusticana was perfect for our friends and family fall trip! This was our second time visiting and it was just as beautiful as the first. Ann was amazing to work with, the houses were super clean, and the watercrafts got a lot of use. I would highly suggest visiting and we will likely be back again someday.

Perfect Location on Keuka Lake

Can ask for a better local on Keuka Lake. The two immaculately clean houses on the property are literally within feet of the shore, which in includes a great dock, firepit, and plenty of non motorized boats and floats. Parking is great and the larger home is completely renovated with all modern amenities. Owners/hosts are very communicative and there for any questions. Would definitely recommend for family gathering or friend getaways.

A restful stay in a cozy, well-kept cottage. The owner was helpful and available with a couple of questions I had. The weather was great. The one surprise: Hammondsport restaurants are only open on weekends until Memorial day.

Wonderful place to stay with kids!

It was a perfect spot on the water with young kids. Our kiddos could wade in the lake with their water shoes and play in the stones on the shore. Very clean, cozy, quaint, and comfortable. Nothing fancy about it, but who needs fancy when you’re on Keuka Lake? Rusticana had everything we needed, and it was a wonderful week.

Wonderful value for two cozy cottages

Our family (4 couples, 3 children) had a wonderful stay at Rusticana. Access was easy and both cottages were cozy and comfortable. We especially loved the pedal boat, beachfront, meals on the deck and fire pit. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of towels for everyone. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful Setting

Great view, right on the water, very relaxing, and worked well for a multiple family gathering. And Keuka lake is not as big nor busy as some of the other Finger Lakes – didn't feel overrun by motor boats or their noise. Only 5 miles from Hammondsport, so getting supplies isn't too difficult.

Fall trip

Nice homey feel. Well stocked with necessities and property owner was just a phone call away, but we didnt need to call. Everything was great. The only item not a 5* was cleanliness and thst was because in the smaller cottage the floors seemed a little dirty.

Good Location on Lake Keuka.

Nice house on the lake for a family vacation. Has a separate 2 bedroom cozy cottage that worked out great for family members to have an area for children. It is about 5 miles from Hammondsport, close to Watkins Glen and Corning Museum. My family had a wonderful time. I especially liked the lake view and going kayaking on the lake. Everything was clean and bath towels were provided.

Wonderful week at Keuka Lake

We had a great time. The kids ages 6, 7 and 9 loved kayaking and playing games. Having two separate buildings was nice for different sleep schedules. We brought our own food and the kitchen had all we needed to prepare meals. Being right next to the beach was awesome.

About the host

Hosted by Evangelista Family

Host profile image
The owners, pictured in Italy, 2015. Elizabeth, matriarch, has spent every year of her life on the property, and the seven siblings spend as much time there as possible, as well. We hope you will love your time "at the lake" as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for going on six generations. We've hosted one wedding and more family reunions than we can count at the lake.

What makes this property unique

One of the last of true, unspoiled shorelines around the lake. Ideal location for privacy yet proximity to the quaint village of Hammondsport. This is the ideal spot for families with little ones. Plus, we have the best neighbors on the lake!
