About this property

Large 9 BR Family Retreat in this quiet Cove (11 Bedrooms with extra cottage)

We have newly renovated our property on beautiful Keuka Lake! This unique property features renovated 6 Bedroom house and new 3 Bedroom house overlooking Keuka Lake. Our unique property can be enjoyed with a large family/families or individually depending on your vacation needs and desires.

House #1: Old Glory overlooks the lake and includes waterfront access. This large house has recently been renovated but still includes its old comfortable charm.
This house has an enclosed porch area on side of house with ample yard/grass area for the kids to play and run around. House was renovated in 2017 with a new open porch overlooking the lake with 2 table top counters on the deck railing. This home has 6 bedrooms, 1 located on the main floor and 5 bedrooms up stairs overlooking the lake. There are 2 full baths, kitchen, large living space & mudroom with washer and dryer. Renovations include all new flooring throughout. There is ample parking for all. Share your family vacation at your own family retreat on sprawling 1.8 acre property. 2 large docks with raft offer plenty of water fun. 2 kayaks, paddle board and canoe offer fun filled days. Very close to many vineyards, distilleries and micro Breweries. Enjoy a day in the sun, a beautiful sunsets and a nice warm camp fire at night making smores and roasting marsh mellows.

House #2: Lake view was just completed in spring of 2020 and is ready to rent with all new furniture and amenities. Washer and dryer are included.
The new house will sleep 6 and include 2 bath rooms. New wrap around deck and stairs to the lake will explain why we named it Lake view.

Our optional 2 Bedroom waterfront Cottage (cost extra to rent) called 'Sunset' is located literally within feet of the water. This cottage is newly renovated, featuring all glass enclosed porch overlooking the water. The porch opens up to open living space, dining & kitchen with all new appliances, cabinetry and beautiful quartz counter tops! Living space has a Flat Screen TV with pull out queen sofa. There are 2 bedrooms and a sleeper/sofa to accommodate up to 6 people comfortably. The bathroom includes a stand up shower.

Great family reunion house
Beautiful lake, nice lake houses, docks, sunsets, neighborhood...a wonderful spot. We had all three houses and they were all perfect. It's not fancy...but it is homey and serene. Brian lives on the property and is always available, flexible, and helpful.

Large family getaway
Beautiful, scenic lakefront location, multiple houses/ cottages were great for our extended family (12 adults of all ages, 2 teens, 2 infants). Great for swimming off the dock or wading in from shore, plenty of watercraft (kayaks, paddleboards, etc.). Plenty of outdoor seating/chairs, picnic tables, deck chairs, etc. Only minor critique, the small cottage bedrooms were quite cramped and got quite warm on hot afternoons, but fortunately the nights cooled off enough that it was fine for sleeping. Despite that, we'd be happy to come back any time, had a great vacation!

Fantastic Weekend Getaway & Gracious Host
We had the please of staying at Brian’s property who worked hard to get this property beautiful for us! We really appreciate Brian’s time, planning, & hard work. We recommend this property for any groups of families & friends who want to feel like they are on vacation & be able to enjoy lakefront access between two homes. With the new renovations, we felt like we could really enjoy the beautiful amenities & utilize the property for barbecuing, fire pits for an evening of relaxation & making s’mores, & the beauty of the lakefront access for guests to enjoy themselves. You won’t regret booking this property as it really met all our needs to having a great experience for all guests!

Bachelorette weekend
Both houses were absolutely perfect! We were very please with our stay, and we had access to paddle boats, kayaks, and the dock. It was so wonderful. I wish we had at least another stay to enjoy the house and property! We spent a day checking out wineries/breweries as well. So much fun! We were in a great location to check out plenty of great places. I would love to come back! I miss it already!

Beautiful Property with Stunning Lake View
We had family group of 20 stay at the 2 properties and absolutely loved our stay. Brian was available to help and communicative but allowed us to enjoy our stay without intrusion. We had no issues whatsoever with the property or appliances. The properties were well maintained and looked to be recently updated. There were plenty of utensils for cooking and eating on the property. The Lake views from the lower property were absolutely stunning. Very relaxing and calming. The upper property had nice views as well. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay if we are in the area again. Thank you Brian.

We were so impressed with this listing. It worked so perfectly for our group of 22. It allowed us all to stay together, lakefront on Keuka. The 3 separate houses also allowed for enough bathrooms for us all to get ready.

Great family vacation spot
Could not have been more perfect. Road was quiet and house was on a small cove. We used all three houses on the property and all had plentiful kitchen wares, linens and towels. The kayaks and paddle boards got a lot of use as did the fire pit by the lake. Brian the owner greeted us and was close by for questions and the one issue that came up which was addressed right away. We hope to be back again.

Family reunion getaway
We booked the two homes for a little family reunion. Our host was responsive before and after booking. Both homes were clean and comfortable and updated house by the lake had amazing views and beautiful updates. One of the best parts was the very large parking area that accommodated more cars than I can count. We would certainly stay again and really enjoyed out time!

AMAZING trip!
I rented Brian’s property for my 30th birthday celebration. There were 17 people staying in three of the properties: Lakeview, Old Glory, and 2 bedroom apartment. All of the properties accommodated our needs and it was nice to be spread out over the three spaces so it didn’t feel like we were all on top of each other. The goal of our trip was to hit as many wineries as possible, so the house’s location was ideal as it was close to wineries on Keuka, as well as only 15 minutes from the west side of Seneca. Brian was quick to get back to me on anything we needed, the properties were clean and beautiful, and you can’t beat waking up to that view. We loved our stay and I’ve even sent this listing to other friends and families who will be taking trips to the Finger Lakes in the coming year. We had such a great time!

Beautiful views of the lake
We stayed with a group of 14 - four families total. The two houses were plenty of space. The lakefront house has less bedrooms but the updated kitchen. The deck is amazing and views are gorgeous. We enjoyed the wineries and restaurants in Penn Yan. Brian was very easy to communicate with and a great host. Would recommend this rental and hoping to go back to Keuka Lake this summer.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Willemsen

Host profile image
I am from the finger lakes area and have always enjoyed buying and fixing up homes. It gives me great satisfaction to look at a property and envision it's potential and then see the project to fruition.

Why they chose this property

I built a post & beam cabin on 5 Acre lot 32 years ago and have been renting a cottage on Keuka Lake every year. I've always wanted to have a cottage on Keuka and could not pass up this unique Property where others could enjoy a week on the lake and enjoy the same family memories I have enjoyed.

What makes this property unique

This property has so much to offer! A vacationing family will enjoy a day on the lake boating, swimming, sunning or just relaxing. Centrally located to dozens of Wineries, 6 Micro Breweries, Museums & Restaurant's. Located between Penn Yan & Hammondsport on the desirable East side of Keuka Lake offers fantastic sunsets.
