About this property

Keuka Lakefront Vacation Cottage

This property is owner-managed: direct contact with the property owner - please email owner with any questions about the property, amenities, minimum stays, etc. We are willing to work with renters in most situations.

Our minimum rental periods are as follows:
May and October: 2 night minimum
June and September: weekly rentals preferred, but some flexibility
July and August: full week rentals only; Sat-Sat

Whether you are looking for a relaxing view from either of the expansive decks while you read a good book or if you prefer a bit more action out on the water, this cozy cottage situated along the east-side Keuka lakefront just 5 miles south of Penn Yan will suit your vacation needs.

If you like to enjoy a little exercise during your stay, the cottage is located on a quiet road which is perfect for a scenic bike ride, walk or jog.

The main floor of the cottage consists of an open dining/living room area with television, gas fireplace, sofa bed, full size futon, bar area with a beautiful view of the lake and a dining table that seats up to 6. Also on the main floor is a small, but fully equipped kitchen, 1 small bedroom with a double bed, and a bathroom with shower. The lower level has a queen bed and nice sized attached bathroom with shower. Both levels have access to one of the outside decks.

The upper deck, off the main floor, has gorgeous views of the lake and beautiful sunsets. Plenty of lawn chairs, a picnic table, and a gas grill make this a great location to hang out at dinner time. This deck also gets great afternoon sun for those looking to bask in the rays.

The lower deck is covered, has sun shades, and also has plenty of seating with several lounge chairs. Great for when you need to get out of the sun or rain or just looking for a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee.

The 65' of lake frontage is perfect for swimming, fishing off the dock, or heading out on the water in your boat. Dock your boat just steps away from the house. The seawall steps lead directly into the shallow water making it perfect for the kids (and adults!) to go swimming right in front of the house. A fire pit is also located along the seawall to roast marshmallows and enjoy the nighttime lights around the lake. Also provided are a paddle boat, 3 kayaks, life vests, and water toys.

This property is also on city water and sewer. No need to deal with septic, well, or lake water issues.

Whether your vacation interests are activities on the lake or simply enjoying the lake-views and local charm, the amenities and location of this cottage will definitely accommodate your needs.

Review of lake property

The location is perfect, however, for the price, I do not think that I would return. The cleaning people obviously did not do a thorough cleaning. Although the bathrooms were clean, the futon, windows, doors, tablecloth, and floors upstairs were not clean. I looked for extra bedding for a friend who was spending the night. I was first told by the owner that she thought there was 3 of us. She assumed a couple of us would be sharing a bed. She told me to go to the Dollar Store! She then told me after we left that there was extra bedding in the upstairs closet. I had looked there and only saw 2 pillows. We also had trouble with the grill’s temperature gauge. Had to remove the salmon and do it in the oven. The owner told me that when she tried to turn it on once we had left, it was fine. My husband grills at home at least 3-4 nights a week. He knows grills. There is also no washer or dryer. I knew this going in, but it really isn’t ideal. This property has great potential.

Great Long Weekend!

The house is on two levels, with room for 5 people. Great decks. We cooked out on the grill two nights, which was all prepped for our use. Used the kayaks. Close to The Windmill, which was fun. Warning: the hot water is extremely hot, as noted. Maybe turn down the hot water heater temp. Otherwise, a really nice October stay.

Beautiful Week

This was our second stay at this lovely cottage. Angela is a wonderful person to work with. Communication was top notch! The location of the cottage is lake front and we are able to dock our boat. The cottage itself is decorated so cute. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. I highly recommend this cottage!

Lake cottage

A great spot on the lake, good dock, and comfortable for the family. Enjoyed both decks. Grands liked the lake, fishing and especially the family next door. Suggested that towels be included with the linens. As any lake property with wooden decks, constant maintenance is needed on railings and stairs. Not a properly for small children.

Great decks and views!

Great to sit on the deck and watch the sun set. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the views. The outdoor lights were much appreciated and added to the ambience. Very peaceful. Stairs may be a little difficult to maneuver. And they were not joking, the shower water was HOT!

Lakehouse

We really loved the lake house. The location was perfect. My son and his friend caught fish from the dock, from the paddle boat and the kayaks. Really liked that there were kayaks and paddle boat available for our use. We used them every day. Liked having two bathrooms since there were 6 of us. Overall was a great time. My son wants to rent same house next year!

Peaceful lakefront cottage

We really enjoyed being right on the water. The lake was about 80 degrees when we stayed and we were in the water every day. We rented a boat and docked it right at the cottage. We Kayaked every day and had fires on the breakwall over looking the lake. What a great vacation for our family.

We loved our little cottage. Angela was very accommodating and made sure we had all the information that we needed to make our week magical! Her home was beautifully decorated and super clean.

Old school, quaint. Super clean, great docking and swimming area. My first time in this lake was 1953, this place reminded me of all the cottages of my youth. Fits six well. View is great! On the preferred east side of lake. All in all, nostalgic for me, super fun for grandsons! Thanks Angela!

Perfect location

We have stayed on Kueka at various VRBO's for the past several years. This location is perfect for a run into Penn Yan or a quiet walk along East Lake road. The house was clean and well appointed. It so nice when Kayaks and basic water toys come with the rental unit

Highly recommended!

My family was looking for a place to relax, have fun and enjoy beautiful views. This met all our expectations. We loved going out to the lake with the paddle boat and making smores in the fire pit. Clean house n comfortable beds. We recommend this home if you're looking for a lakefront home with great views.

Great location,lovely decks and sunsets.

Angela’s cottage is in a great lakeside location. The sunset views were spectacular. The cottage was equipped with all that you need however I really missed having a washer and dryer. The layout of the cottage is adequate. The upstairs bedroom is extremely small and there is very little in the way of space for storing clothes, suitcases,etc. Although there are lots of windows and natural light during the day the lamps and overhead lights are limited so it did seem dark when the sun went down . Angela was excellent about communicating with us and was very accommodating in letting us get into the cottage a little early so that we would have time to get ready for a function that evening.

Great decks, Beautiful View

This cabin was great for our family of 5 adults. It was very clean and well-maintained. The large bedroom with its own bathroom in the lower level was perfect for our adult children. We all enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboat, swimming, and visiting area wineries, breweries, and distilleries. The kitchen had all the appliances and dishes we needed. Relaxing on the decks was heavenly! There are a lot of stairs to get from road level to the camp to lake level, but that is to be expected in the Finger Lakes.

Why they chose this property

We spent plenty of time renting places in the Finger Lakes and finally decided to buy a place of our own. We chose Keuka Lake, and the East side specifically, because of its beauty and relaxing atmosphere.
