~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 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. Upstairs, 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 two twin beds 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 space for up to four cars to park in the gravel lot 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, owner-maintained raised flower garden, umbrella shaded picnic table for lakeside meals, and your private dock with umbrella shaded lounger chairs for enjoying the sunshine. 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. Included in the rent, you will also have access to our THREE kayaks, our paddle board, 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 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 and tested a state of the art water filtration and UV sterilization system, so water from the tap is now safe to drink.
• 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.
Beautiful comfortable home. Bedrooms and kitchen were great! Living area a bit small but the deck and dock were perfect. Very well supplied and owners were great with communication . Highly recommend .
If you love stained wood (which we DO!), this cottage is perfect--beautiful wood grain walls and some ceilings with large windows overlooking sunsets on Keuka! Beds were comfy, and we each had our own bathroom and TV!! :o) The cottage was very clean with a well-stocked kitchen. We even spent some quality time on the pier snacking with the local female duck!! Really nice, quiet place centrally located to Hammondsport and the surrounding area. Would definitely stay here again.
We spent a delightful week with our grown children at Keuka cottage. The host stopped by to make sure we got in easily. The location was stunning and the home was beautiful and very unique. The amenities were perfect...kitchen well stocked, plenty of newer kayaks, comfortable beds and a lovely new bathroom on the lower level. The wood finishes in the interior are lovely. We hope to return again next year.
The property was very clean and fully equipped with everything to make our vacation a totally awesome experience inside and out. Also swimming and fishing was outstanding. Maybe that part should stay a secret!
Wonderful week at Keuka Cottage! The house was very clean, comfortable and accommodating with easy accessibility and beautiful views. The awesome fishing and long walks were a daily staple, and the house really has everything you need for an enjoyable and trouble-free stay! So grateful for the memories made with family. Thank you tor sharing your lovely house with us.
We had a wonderful stay. Keuka Cottage is absolutely gorgeous and had everything we needed for a restful and relaxing stay. They even had food for the family of ducks that visited…. We will be back!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is charming, nicely decorated and very well taken care of - just as pictured. We hope to be back.
We weathered the 2022 storm in this sturdy, warm dwelling right on the lake. All was as advertised when we arrived and we had excellent communication with Edwin and Allen before and during our stay. The craftsmanship and care that has gone into this house must be experienced firsthand.
Beautiful location on an amazing lake!! Everything we needed was on site.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Keuka Cottage. It is beautiful, with an interesting history related to the building of the cottage and personal touches, including beautiful pottery and tile made by a family member, that it felt more like we were staying at a family friend's place! We even got to feed ducks that ate right out of our hands. The master bed is really comfortable, and the updated bathroom on the first floor is quite lovely. Edwin and Allen were so very quick to respond to any of our inquiries. We feel fortunate that they shared their cottage with us and helped to create some lovely memories, and will definitely stay here again!
Perfect location for daily swims, fall foliage, and fun excursions to small towns and wineries. Cottage is beautiful and well appointed. We had a relaxing time on Keuka Lake.
This is a great location with deck literally on the water and close Hammondsport. The cottage is well stocked with everything you will every need. Has one large bedroom and two smaller well suited for a family.
Lovely lakefront location but located close to other activities. The house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed looking at the pictures of the restoration of the property.
The property is absolutely lovely and Allen and Edwin thought of everything to maximize our lake experience. Any questions we had were addressed promptly and so many amenities and conveniences were thought of to allow for an awesome lake week! There was plenty of space for our family to cook, lounge, play, and sleep. The privacy of the location was perfect for our dog and the interior was beautiful with gorgeous woodwork and some modern amenities. The access to the lake and the views were stunning. We didn’t want to leave and we would definitely come back again!
