There are 3 levels in this newly renovated Keuka Lake property accommodating up to 14 people in warm weather.
The main entrance is right off the upper parking area (3-4 vehicles) which is just 15 feet from the main road. This provides easy access for unloading - 2 short steps up into the upper level apartment. There is an interior staircase down to the lower apartment as well as an outdoor stairway from deck to lower parking area accommodating up to three vehicles - providing easy access to lower apartment.
The top level in the main house is air conditioned and has three private bedrooms with a queen bed in the master bedroom and (2 new cozy mattresses) on full beds in the other two newly renovated bedrooms featuring very large 4.5 foot wide side by side windows (with inset top down/bottom up honeycomb style shades-not blackout) for fantastic views right from the beds! We have a new extra large cozy couch and chairs in the great room.
Watch the sun rise across the lake from the large screened in porch which leads out to deck with with a large Weber gas grill and umbrella table that seats up to six. The main living/dining room is very large and can easily accommodate your entire group. Full bathrooms – new updated in August, 2022 tub & shower, sink on upper level, sink and new updated shower in lower level and half bathroom (no tub or shower) on the beach.
The kitchen on the top floor is fully stocked with a wide variety of cooking and serving dishes, wine glasses, crock pot, microwave, toaster, drip & Keurig coffee makers with filters supplied, a paper towel roll for starters and new, very quiet dishwasher that can do 14 place settings, One of the double sink faucets is filtered through a very high-quality filter. Main water supply is Penn Yan city water – very clean, chlorinated, etc. The kitchen on the lower floor is also fully stocked and has coffee maker. Baby gates are in place to swing closed and hook where needed.
The lower level is naturally cool and also air conditioned and has one private bedroom with a full bed. Two twin beds in the living room area also serve as couches (the kids often claim this area). Both upper and lower apartments have wifi, working fireplaces (winter only) with limited amount of firewood supplied, bathrooms with showers and new tub/shower upstairs complete kitchens, screened in porches, dining areas, and shared laundry facilities.
Around the house, many mural size and smaller photos from late 1800’s to the early 1900s lend a wonderful feeling of Keuka Lake history. Gorgeous shots of the lake also decorate the rooms.
In warm weather, the 3rd apartment, 45 steps down to the beach, is the “beachhouse” which is right down on the lawn of the very large beach, and has a private bedroom with a queen size bed and a queen size sofa bed in the outer area - also a bathroom, hot and cold running water, hotplate, microwave, coffee maker, glasses, some dishes, a new full size refrigerator in the small kitchen area and a screened in porch. The beach house is heated by two small space heaters – good for temperatures as cool as the low to mid 40s.
The beach is very large with 80 feet of shoreline and a lawn - plenty large enough for bocce or badminton (easy-erect net provided), playing catch, etc. A good sized stone campfire circle (enough firewood supplied for 3/4 campfires) is nestled near the shore and a portable Weber gas grill, picnic table, dock, comfy beach furniture, noodles for floating and a 2 person canoe with life vests & beach towels are all provided. Our dock is recently new and very sturdy. It extends out from shore 40 feet to accommodate boats - has bumpers, cleats that fold down for safety on both sides and 4 solar dock lights (photo of lawn shows previous shorter, more narrow dock). You can walk 100 yards down the lake road to East Bluff Harbor Marina and rent a boat for the day or longer. We suggest that you book your boat rentals far in advance. The Marina can also launch boats and keep your trailer for you. If you rent a boat from the marina they let you dock it at our place while you have it.
The property is on the eastern branch of Keuka Lake. Normally especially quiet on weekdays and most weekends, the beach is its own little peninsula lined with a creek on the south side, providing much privacy.
The entire place is available weekly in the peak summer season. It is available off peak season for weekends or specific date arrangements year-round. Go to Rates and Availability at the top to see seasonal dates and calendar showing which dates are already booked.
Ideal for weekend getaways, family reunions, retreats, graduations (2.4 miles from Keuka College). Families with children are most welcome. No pets, guests beyond 14 person limit, or wild parties are allowed. Renters must average in their 30s or older (not including children) to qualify.
Weekly guests are greeted for weekly rentals and shown around by owner or close friend. The owner always available by phone or text to answer questions. See our reviews!
This place is a piece of heaven.

    View was great. House was very clean.The cottage by the beach left a lot to be desired - shouldn't be listed as additional living space.Light in dining area needs attention. It kept fading in and out.

    Great location and beautiful lake views. Over all disappointed with cleanliness as everyone’s feet were black after walking around on floors. Main level was nice everything else is very old and outdated. Extension cords everywhere with multiple cords plugged in causing lights to short out. Only 1 tv in this whole property. I manage 350 rental units and this would definitely not pass code where I am we hold much higher standards where we rent properties!

    The place was great. We utilize the multiple living areas and my wife and I really enjoyed staying at the Little cottage downstairs by the water. The little and big kids all had a great time enjoyed swimming and fishing and just playing on the expansive landing.

    We just returned from our vacation and had a nice time. The house easily accommodated our family 6 adults and 2 children ages 1 & 2. Baby gates provided were greatly appreciated. We enjoyed the view of the lake and again owner provided us with wood for a bonfire to get started which was appreciated. Beach house was cute and an additional sleeping/living space. The 45 steps down to the beach were challenging but we managed. Nice time had by all!

    Ages 2 to 64, we all had a lovely time! Book was very communicative and helpful. The waterfront is spacious and flat with a great beach, fire pit and dock and we spent so much time enjoying that! Although none of us had any issues with it, would not recommend for anyone who would have trouble managing the 40 plus stairs from the house to the waterfront. However, the local marina was more than happy to accommodate us if we needed to pick up an elderly family member by boat. Also recommend this marina for trailering. For a reasonable fee, we dropped our boat off and they safely trailered it for our trip home. The living spaces are large and inviting and the bedrooms were comfortable. We had everything we needed, the neighborhood was peaceful and so pleasant for walking. The cottage by the water is adorable. Loved the morning sunrise and evening moonrise. Convenient to Penn Yan and surrounds. Precious family memories made on the Bluff, thank you to Book and Rose!

    Our multi generational family enjoyed our stay! The different sleeping areas and the multiple kitchens were great! The lake front was perfect. The stairs to the beach were much longer than I understood when I booked the lake house but they were very sturdy and my husband was able to go down to the lake.

    The location is excellent...right next to the marina, a huge waterfront suitable for our party of 14 to play, lounge, fish, boat, etc...house was comfortable, AC, loved the screened in porches! And well stocked! Having the beach house at water level was a huge plus. BR, bathroom, and refrigerator so we didn't have to go up the 45 stairs very often during the day! Quiet road, and laundry made it a great week. Neighbor was pleasant and friendly, greeted by owner friend when we arrived. House is being updated still, but plenty comfortable! Having all sheets, towels, etc. provided was so helpful! Only issues: 2 of the 4 burners didn't work on stovetop and if elderly, stairs to waterfront would be difficult

    It was our fourth year at this destination, and we have already booked next year’s vacation. The owner, John, is friendly and accommodating. The bungalow by the water is ideal, with toilet facilities, a kitchenette for storing cold drinks, and an extra bedroom for overnight guests. This year the owners added window Air conditioning units to the three bedrooms on the main level and a new, large, comfortable sofa in the living room, which was wonderful for our large crowd.

    This property is great, with beautiful views from various decks and screened in porches. Two big yards for kids to run around and a great dock and fire pit! The house includes anything you would need...including spare batteries, extension cords and any kitchen appliance you could ask for. Located in a beautiful neighborhood with very friendly folks, close to Penn Yann for any groceries and dinners out, plus wineries, breweries and distilleries!!!

    The place was perfect for all ages from 3 to 84. The only obstacle we had to overcome was the steps to the beach for my father in law (84 with mobility issues), however there is a marina just a few doors down that happily allowed us to drive him down to the water and put him on the boat and take him over to the beach at the house. The fishing was awesome! Great communication with the host and the owner. Everyone one enjoyed our stay and we would most definitely rent it again!

    The house was perfectly located just outside of town. Right on the lake with a nice yard and dock. The boat house was very nice to have extra drinks and a bathroom close as we hung out at the lake. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful girls trip!

    This is the third year we’ve stayed here and have already booked for next year. Michael met us Saturday and immediately took care of an issue that made our stay pleasant. Although dated, it is a comfortable space.The best aspect of the property is the fact that it sleeps nine comfortably, with space for two extra in the bungalow. The bungalow provides a fridge and toilet facilities beach side. The swimming area is large enough for all, including flotation devices.
