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.

    This was a really wonderful stay. I've been coming to Keuka for twenty years, my wife for 60 years - and this was by far our favorite place we've rented.

    Beautiful home, lakefront property, gardens & outdoor space. New outdoor kitchen was convenient & bonus area. Gem of a spot! Edwin was easy to communicate with and always responsive. Will be back next summer!

    We loved our stay at the Keuka Cottage. The dock had enough space to dock our 2 fishing boats plus plenty of space for us to sit on the dock and enjoy the lake. The kitchen was well maintained with everything we needed for meals. Our last night was spent sitting at the table on the deck enjoying the sunset

    Having never been to Finger Lakes, I wanted to find a place for my parents, SO and my small dog and I to enjoy for a few days. It was amazing! Communication before the trip was great, there is a binder that contains everything you need to know upon arrival. The location is perfect, easy to get to. Secluded, as there are no active neighbors right now on either side. It is an amazing property, the architecture is beautiful. It has old/timber lodge vibes but scandinavian decor and style. It is beautifully decorated, love the personal photos and touches as well. The furniture, bedrooms, items in the house and outside the house are so useful for guests. It has a brand new washer/dryer which is super nice. The kitchen has everything you need. The outdoor area is truly so unique. with a outdoor kitchen which has me jealous and inspired for my own home in the future! It has a very high quality fridge and grill, with trash too! Lovely outdoor seating for the family to enjoy dinner. We loved the dock, and used the kayaks once as well. I have no negative things to say about the place. It is so lovely and I'm so grateful that the owners chose to share it with others. It is about an 8min drive to the closest town (Hammondsport) which has a limited grocery store and its about 15-20min to Bath which has a major grocery store. It is 5 min away from multiple wineries. I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend to others to stay here as well!

    Edwin and Allen are the absolute best hosts! Their property is stunning and has so much to offer! The location couldn’t be better! They supplied lake amenities and house amenities. Their town is incredibly kind and the fishing off their dock is unmatched. My family wanted to move in! We enjoyed their family pictures and played nightly games of Uno and Yahtzee! Their outside grill and “fish cleaning station” as we called it, was the best! So very much to do and so beautiful! We look forward to our next adventure from this wonderful family!

    We enjoyed a wonderful week at Keuka Cottage. Everyone was impressed with the space, the fine workmanship, and the amenities. The outdoor eating and grilling deck was superb. Fishing, swimming, kayaking, feeding the ducks and just enjoying the views and environment made for a great experience

    Our family group of six had an absolutely wonderful week at this beautiful cottage in a perfect location on Keuka Lake! The cottage is right on the shoreline, making for quick and easy access to the lake and water activities. We loved the outdoor grilling/dining area and the fire pit for enjoying the beautiful sunsets. And the hosts were very responsive to all of questions - it was a great vacation!

    The Craftsman Cottage is excellent . It’s true the wooden craftsmanship is very lovely. The decor is calming, charming and furniture fits well. The windows are large and views are beautiful. The kitchen is small but well equipped . The 3 bedrooms are plenty big and comfortable. The 2 bathrooms are fine and one has a tub. The living room is great for a small group or family to gather. The outside space is super, with plenty of places to sit and view the Lake.There are steps down to the cottage and more down to the beach. The dock is great and a fun place to fish or swim off of. It looks like soon there will be an outside kitchen and large deck to enjoy. Check in and out were easy. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

    Just returned from the most beautiful stay at this special home. Aside from the location, being perfect, the dock, beautiful and beach access a breeze. The interior Woodwork in this home was like nothing I've ever seen. The Home had everything you could possibly need was absolutely beautiful inside and you can tell how special it is to the owners as well. We felt super lucky to be able to spend time. Our family dog is still asleep from all the swimming he did.
