Perfect location by lake

The cottage is location worked perfectly for our group, even though we stayed in late November, we enjoyed the morning lake views. The cottage itself is as described, tasty decoration. Kitchen was equipped sufficiently to meet our 10 people. Sheets and beds were comfortable, I only wish we had few more bathroom towels . Overall we had wonderful time.

Fabulous lakeside getaway

We had a multigenerational family vacation at this lovely and well-appointed lake house. We loved the ever changing views of the lake over the course of the day, the easy access to the water via the dock and beach and the comfortale house with lots of different spaces for gathering and sleeping. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back!

Wonderful get away

We had a wonderful time at Birchwood cottage, the decor and the property are beautiful and the access to the lake couldn’t be nicer. From fishing off the dock to watching the sun rise from the patio we made good use of the outdoor spaces. Keuka lake is crystal clear and beautiful. There are a number of wineries within a few minutes drive of the cottage. It does take 20 mins or so to get to a grocery store but all in all it wasn’t that far to get to Penn Yan for these items. We would definitely return again!

Birchwood Cottage

We have stayed on Keuka Lake several years in multiple locations. This property is the best location we've had. The flat terrain,parking and lake access are wonderful. The cottage is lovely and and very comfortable. The owners were responsive and interested in us enjoying our stay. We are booked for 2024!

Birchwood Cottage Review

Great house on Keuka Lake. Rented the cottage for a friends weekend, which this house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of outdoor space with great lake frontage. Dock was a great feature. Boat launch was right down the street as well. Caught a few bass off the dock. House is in good shape. Floors are a little slanted in the kitchen/dining area, but wasn't a concern at all. Overall, I would rent and recommend this cottage.

Family fun

Love our stay here.Love the bed downstairs.Wish there was a fireplace as it says.Think a canopy could be provided so visitors could have access to some shade.Explain better about garbage to the street because both times it’s been slap full when we arrived.I have a bad back unable to take theirs and mine all the way down to the road.Half bath not very usable due to seat all over the place.plastic nuts stripped.But we love it just some quirks

Beautiful Retreat

We loved the views of Keuka lake. We often had 12 hours of sun and we were able to swim and and use our own kayak many days. The house had ample parking and a large beachfront. Fortunately, my son in law brought us a canopy to allow us some shade on cloudless days. The house was comfortable… we were a large group of mixed ages and prepared food in the kitchen most evenings. Unfortunately there was a power outage (not the owners fault) and we weren’t able to open the majority of the windows which had no screens. But even so, we’ve already booked for next year.

Birchwood cottage

Lovely cottage. Great swimming and fishing. Rare lot size for a lake front home. Gorgeous farmhouse decorating. If I had one wish, it would be for screens in all the windows and doors to feel the lake breezes and hear the waves and the crickets at night. Air conditioning is sufficient to keep it cool, but it lacks the lake by ambiance.

Perfect for families!

This house has everything! The large kitchen/living space and large dining table made spending time together inside easy & comfortable. There were board games to play, books to read, and clean cozy furniture to curl up on in the evenings. BUT who could spend much time inside with an outdoor area like that?! The stone beach & shallow water was perfect for our group ages 8-60 but we would definitely recommend swim shoes (some slippery stones). We spent most of our time at Keuka in the water swimming, skipping stones, or out front playing in the large/flat front yard which offers a lot of privacy thanks to the surrounding trees. This property is the perfect mix of togetherness and privacy with different floors, bedrooms spread out just right, and multiple restrooms. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent “sisters” vacation!

We loved this cabin! It was clean, cozy, there was plenty of room for all 6 of us and our 2 dogs. Among the kitchen utensils that were available for us, there were even dog dishes (we did bring our own but we thought it was awesome)!!! Communication was appropriate and accurately described in description. Getting in was easy, buying wood was easily located, the town with restaurants and local shops was only a 1-2 mile drive! I’m totally going to book again in the future, and I highly recommend this lovely cabin to others!

Amazing despite the smoke

Beautiful cottage and the location is perfect. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable. We have been staying at kueka for many years but this is the first time staying on the west side and we decided the west is the best! The seaweed is minimal and it’s not muddy. The location is within 15 min of nice restaurants and shopping. Our 2 year old grandson had so much fun. Our vacation was amazing despite the smoke from the fires in Canada. We definitely recommend this property !!

Perfect weekend getaway!

Our experience at Birchwood Cottage and Lakeside was absolute perfection! The property manager was very informative and responsive. The Cottage and the grounds were impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We even changed our plans one day to just stay on location! We enjoyed the quiet and beautiful sunrise and sunset lakeside. If I could give this whole experience an overall rating from 1 to 5, it would receive a solid 100! Thank you for opening this property for all of us to enjoy!

Beautiful house

If you know anything about the Finger Lakes you know how rare a large flat lot with a lot of privacy is and this property has both of those things. The house itself is very clean and decorated really cute. The bedroom on the main floor does not have a ceiling which isn’t an issue if you put the early risers in that room but could be a problem for someone who wants to sleep in as its right off the kitchen and there really is no way to be quiet to not wake up whoever is in that bedroom. My only very minor complaint is that there are no chairs around the fire pit so I would recommend bringing your own. Otherwise this house has everything you need and the owner is very responsive. We locked ourselves out one day and they immediately helped us get back in. Would love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Keuka rental.

Great view of the lake

We had to arrive late in the night, around 11pm. Somewhat difficult to find the property because you can't see the house from the road and Google Maps isn't perfectly accurate. The driveway to the house was covered in leaves and didn't look like a real road. I wish there was more signage from the road to the property. Regardless, the stay was great. The house it self was very clean and cozy. The view to the lake was fantastic, especially in the morning and sunset. Great for a staycation. The drive to the town is tedious, ~15 min to get to the coffee shop. But there is a great vineyard just 6 min away. The amenities in the house are great and a perfect VRBO for 2-4 couples.

Pictures Don’t Do Justice

Birchwood Cottage was the perfect spot for our small family gathering! It’s a feat to get all adult children together once a year and the property was beyond our expectations! The cottage is roomy, well appointed and functionally superior to most lake spots I’ve rented over 10+ years. The property inside and out does not disappoint and the pictures do not tell the whole story…it was secluded and quiet…yet close to everything. We typically stay on the East side due to the location of friends cottages but truly enjoyed this spot! Comes stocked with the beyond the basics…which is so appreciated when you are cooking for a crowd. Drew was very responsive and checked in to make sure we were comfortable. Great spot for too many reasons to list!

One Major Disappointment

This was our second year in the same rental unit. We had expected to make it three years straight by reserving the same week for next summer. We were terribly disappointed to learn the entire summer of 2025 was already booked. Perhaps because our experience with Florida rentals is that renters in any given time period are almost always given priority for the same period in the following year, we were mildly stunned by our discovery. I do not believe rental reservations should be allowed more than a year in advance. If there is a situation where the owner of the rental unit expects to use the property for a special event of their own the following year, the renters in any given year should be told in advance the property will not be available at the same time the following year. In fact, the renters can even be told the property will be available in two years, although that need not be done. We have, however, seen both such actions taken in Florida.
