Keuka Cottage ✧ Handcrafted Beauty on Lake's Shore — sunsets, fire pit, kayaks!

Experience this beautifully handcrafted lakefront cottage, mere steps from water’s edge on the southeast shore of Keuka Lake. Just 5 miles north of downtown Hammondsport and minutes away from some of Keuka's best wineries, the cottage is ideally located for exploring top local attractions while enjoying a special haven of relaxation. It's everything you want in a lake house and more — kayaks and paddle board, onsite parking, wifi and cable, gas grill, fire pit, good fishing, and SPECTACULAR sunsets!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This owner-built lake house is a treasure in itself with fine woodworking showcased throughout every room of the home, each of them with unobstructed lake views.

✧ THE BUILDING: Three bedrooms — each with beautiful views of the lake — accommodate up to six people comfortably. The main level has a full bath with walk-in shower and washer/dryer, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, a cozy sitting room with TV, and a bedroom with a queen bed and spacious closet. In colder months, the cozy wood burning stove can be used with owner's approval. Step outside to enjoy the lake view from the wrap-around deck, complete with an Adirondack Glider loveseat and gas grill. Beginning in summer of 2025, the deck will be extended to include an outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas grill and a full dining set— all overlooking the lake! The big primary bedroom has a king bed, TV, double door closet, and twin daybed. There is a dedicated home office space adjacent to another full bath, as well as a third bedroom upstairs with queen bed and ample closet space. Also upstairs is a walk out balcony for your sunset-viewing enjoyment. With central air conditioning, our cottage is comfortable year round.

✧ THE PROPERTY: There is room for up to four cars to park in the gravel spaces across from the house, just steps from the 2nd-level main entrance, so unloading luggage and groceries is a breeze. Stairs from the main-level deck take you down to the lakeshore where you will find a fire pit with Adirondack chair seating and owner-maintained raised flower garden. Feel free to bring your own boat or rent one from one of the various nearby boat rental shops, and you can leave it safely tied to our dock when you're not pleasure cruising Keuka Lake. You will also have access to our THREE kayaks, paddle board, row boat, and life jackets stored in the ground-level basement.

Keuka Cottage can be enjoyed in all four seasons.

☀ Stay with us in warmer months for swimming, sunbathing, water sports and boating. Visit in the fall for stunning fall foliage and harvest events at the local wineries.

❄ In winter and early spring, the cottage is your warm and cozy cabin retreat with views of snow covered hills across the icy lake. There's cross-country ski trails nearby, and you're just a ~50 minute drive from Bristol Mountain ski resort. Most of the wineries, breweries, and distilleries stay open year round.

During the popular summer months of July and August we have a 7-night minimum stay, check in and out only on Saturdays. Select an available Saturday in the calendar menu and you will see the following week is available. The rest of the year we have a four night minimum stay, and you can check in any day of the week.

Other things to note:

• At present, there is not a dishwasher in the kitchen, so guests must hand wash their dishes.

• Guests that plan on swimming in the lake should bring their own water shoes as the lake bed has many zebra mussels that can cut your feet.

• In 2021 we installed a state of the art, whole house water filtration and UV sterilization system, and we regularly have our tap water (which is pumped in from the lake) tested for potability— it remains pathogen free, so we drink it.

• Four beds in three bedrooms sleep up to six people comfortably. There is also a small twin daybed in the primary bedroom, and a sofa in the TV room.

• The north side of our boat dock has two mooring pilings so renters can securely dock their owned or rented motor boats with a 4-point tie off system.
