    This house is in a great location. Is up to date and spacious enough for our family of 13. The house is right on the water and had plenty of activies including kayaking. Friendly family as well.

    We stayed for a weekend in September and we were blessed with perfect weather and perfect accommodations. This property is a little slice of paradise with everything that you need! The proximity to the water was amazing and there was plenty of parking (which we really didn't need for this visit but that isn't always the case with rental properties so that is a fantastic perk). I don't think I've ever encountered owners more accommodating than this family, it was a pleasure and a delight to work with them! Hoping to come back again in the future with friends and fmaily!

    This is the fifth or sixth year that we rented “The Grape Life”. It is a wonderful home where our kids and grandkids can enjoy time on the water. Rick and Peg are great hosts. The home has everything you need. Can’t wait for next year.

    This was our second time at this property and once again it didn’t disappoint! Breathtaking views of the lake, everything needed to provide all the comforts of home! Clean, comfortable accommodations, and just a perfect place to relax and make memories with family!

    Location is fantastic for a family get together. The house was clean and the amenities created a homelike atmosphere. Lots of activites available for adults and kids. Loved the easy access to the lake and all the fun it provided everyone. Wineries and a distillery within walking distance was a plus. We had a great time.

    This is a wonderful house! Gorgeous view of Lake Keuka, with beautiful sunsets over the hills on the other side. So well appointed: dock with chairs, beach with kayaks, a grill, a fire pit, a porch with more chairs, kitchen and dining room with lake views, pots, pans and multiple coffee makers, multiple bedrooms with multiple beds with multiple chargers,... 13 of us were able to stay there very comfortably! The Grape family made us feel so welcome there by meeting us at the house and showing us every detail, and answering our every question quickly beforehand. Plus, the house is in a cozy, quiet neighborhood of lakeside homes, in a beautiful part of New York State with so many natural wonders to explore, and far enough away from the big cities to be truly relaxing. Enjoy, just come and enjoy!

    We (a group of 10 older adults) stayed here during a kayaking trip. We loved the house, property, and area. Owners were very nice and helpful. The house had everything we needed, and much more. Dock, rear porch, outdoor seating, beach & fire pit were favorites. House was clean, well stocked, comfortable. Nice sitting area and large TV. This place is really amazing! Thank you for letting us stay here.

    We had another great week at “It’s a Grape Life”. Rick and Peg have a beautiful place and are such great hosts. Our group of 12 had fun swimming and boating on Keuka Lake. We can’t wait for next year.

    We so enjoyed our stay at this property that we were planning our next visit while still there! The amount of room in this clean, convenient, easily accessible home with welcoming décor is amazing. A perfect place for a large group/family. We enjoyed being able to eat and play games AT THE SAME TABLE, both indoors and outside, and also enjoyed the ample seating in the living room, and on the covered back porch just steps from the lake! Rain cancelled our firepit on the beach with s’mores that we deemed too messy for the gas fire pit on the porch. People kayaked or fished off the big, sturdy, beautiful deck every chance we had, and we had morning coffee and evening drinks out there sitting in the comfortable glider chairs. If it had been a bit warmer we would have been swimming and using the large floating mat! We saw bald eagles, hawks, many kinds of ducks and geese every day. The outside temps ranged from 50 - 80 deg. during our stay and we didn’t need to use the modern AC/heat units or even the gas fireplace, since simply opening or closing a few of the easy open windows controlled the indoor temperature perfectly. The location is perfect, halfway between Hammondsport and Penn Yan, less than 30 min. from Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. We visited several wineries, distilleries, state parks and hiking areas, and the Windmill Craft & Farmers market, the area and views breathtaking. The only things different from “It’s A Grape Life” and a resort hotel are a chef and a maid!
