2 Side/Side Lakeside Cottages-5 Beds/3 Baths-Sleeps 12-14

Weather was great, property and views were excellent. Host was very responsive to needs.

Check-in was simple as our host was there to greet us. Linda answered all our questions promptly and was always on hand. The kitchen had what we needed and we cooked most nights.

We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again. Linda was very responsive and - more importantly - very warm! Made us feel very welcome in her space. The different cottages allowed us a lot of options to both be together (the full group was 10) and get some downtime/alone time when needed. The lakefront is great - lots of space and furniture. The docks are a bit older which just makes fishing and jumping for the kids a bit tricky. But overall, a really great trip!

Cooking in the house with the dishwasher was a wonderful experience. It was fully stocked with pans, bowls and utensils. There was plenty of outside seating on the decks and down by the water. Having 2 hot tubs was a luxury. We did most of the meal preparation in the house with the dishwasher. We had some hot days and the kitchen ran about 80 degrees because there is no central air conditioning in the main part of the house with the dishwasher. Both bedrooms in the house with the dishwasher had air conditioners so it was cool in the bedrooms to sleep. We had enough beds for everyone so we did not use the loft. Our group enjoyed using the canoe and the three kayaks. For our late July stay, Keuka Lake lived up to it's reputation of being the warmest of the Finger Lakes. While swimming, we noticed that the water was remarkably clear with no seaweed.

Had a wonderful time. Location was perfect. supply of kyaks etc was appreciated since we all loved being in the water. Loved the hot tubs and Sitting on the deck for morning coffee. The down side was not having central air on the main house and losing Wi-Fi throughout the Week. Linda tried her best to remedy the Wi-Fi problem. Fun Vacation

We stayed here with our wedding party over Labor Day Weekend and loved every part of this house. It is the absolute perfect setup for a larger group with separate living areas and kitchen space so you don't feel on top of each other. We spent every night out on the beautiful porch, in the hot tub, or at the beach which is large enough for the whole family to hang around the campfire. Linda is an absolute gem and was attentive to anything the group needed throughout the stay, which wasn't much as the house is fully stocked with all the essentials and beyond. As someone who grew up on the lake with a family who has rented probably over 100 properties around the lake over generations - this place was TOP TIER and we will definitely be back!

Great property to host extended family celebrating a milestone birthday for my dad. We enjoyed kayaking/paddle boarding/canoeing/fishing on the lake and evening campfires. It was also a nice base camp for exploring the area including vineyards, bike trail to Seneca lake, and the Corning glass museum. Plenty of space and things to entertain our multi generational group of 14.

We rented both houses for a family getaway! We loved the access the the lake which was beautifully clear! We kayaked we canoed. We rented paddle boards and shore line rentals delivered! Sitting in the hot tub with a view of the lake was so relaxing. The living area was perfect for cool mornings and very comfy. But we spent most of our time on all the decks or lakeside. The fire-pit was great in the evenings to continue the fun. We were able to watch the perseid meteor shower from the docks. The star gazing is amazing! Linda the owner was helpful and quickly available for any questions or concerns. We would so return and we recommend highly! In addition we did not ever need to leave but we enjoyed Hunt Country and Dr Frank Konstantin Wineries, the little mercantile in Branchport and the availability of bigger stores in penn Yan. (And 2 can dans in penn Yan for recycling was super quick and nice!). Thanks for a great week!

Great place to stay on Keuka Lake.

We had an amazing time at Blacksmith Cove! We traveled with small kids (2 and 7) and a bunch of extended family. This was a perfect spot for kids and water... the wade in (stone... be sure to bring water shoes) beach was perfect for the little ones and stayed fairly shallow and protected for quite a while. The kids basically lived in the water and it was very low stress for us parents. We made good use of the boats, docks and hot tub! The decks and living room areas were super comfy and made the adults quite happy to sit and relax. The hosts were extremely responsive, helpful and flexible. This was an extremely challenging trip for us on a personal level (car troubles, illness, etc) and the house itself and the hosts' helpfulness saved the trip!
