About this cottage rental

Located on the highly desirable eastside of Keuka Lake, just a few minutes away from Hammondsport, “The Coolest Small Town in America” (USA Today) and award winning wineries, is Respite Cottage, a place where you can take a break from the busyness of life and give yourself the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation on Keuka Lake.

Before becoming affiliated with VRBO, the cottage owners rented to a wonderful couple who graciously shared the following about their four-week stay at Respite Cottage:

"Charming cottage on Keuka Lake, with all the amenities you would need. Very restful and peaceful. Enjoyed it so much last year we are returning this year [2019]. No steep steps. Has been totally renovated.
--Carole & Dick"

This recently updated, cozy Cape Cod-style home will make you feel warm and welcome while you’re on vacation. Inside, a beautifully designed kitchen greets you. Warm quartersawn oak cabinets, a classic farmhouse sink, and gorgeous granite countertops, blend an enduring look with a modern feel to welcome you into this classic lakefront cottage. The original pantry and the new cabinets are well stocked with all the necessary cook- and bakeware, making meal prep a joy!

From the comfort of the living room, take in the beauty of the lake through the large picture window or just sit and relax in front of the ledgestone fireplace. Whether you're waking up with your first cup of coffee in the morning or sipping on a glass of your favorite wine in the evening, this space affords you with a comfortable place to rest and unwind.

Around the perimeter of the air-conditioned living room are the three bedrooms, each outfitted and decorated with your comfort in mind. Each bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan with a variable-speed control to keep you cool on warm summer evenings.

The wrap-around porch and the three-season screened-in porch may likely become two of your favorite spots during your stay. On the front porch you can relax in one of the old-fashioned rocking chairs while you read a good book or watch your friends and family splashing in the cool blue waters of the lake. The three-season porch offers you shaded retreat as well as a great spot to enjoy family meals. Whichever porch you choose, the natural beauty of Keuka Lake is there for your viewing enjoyment.

The lake and the beach afford many options for your entertainment and enjoyment! Whether fishing for bass off the dock, making a big splash in the water, skimming along the shoreline in a kayak, or sunbathing on the shore, you'll have many options from which to choose to create your ideal Finger Lakes vacation! And when the sun goes down below the hills in the evening, you’ll find a convenient fire pit on the beach for those relaxing fires and marshmallow roasts.

During your stay at Respite Cottage, you may want to avail yourself of other local activities and attractions, whether it’s experiencing local lakefront dining at the nearby Switzerland Inn or taking a short drive into Hammondsport for some boutique shopping before dining at one of its excellent restaurants.

If you want to do some hiking and view some spectacular waterfalls as well (19, to be exact), Watkins Glen State Park is just a short 30-minute drive away.

If a tour of our local wineries suits your taste, consider a visit to Ravines Wine Cellars, McGregor Vineyard, Domaine Leseurre Winery, Weis Vineyards, or Crooked Lake Winery, which are all only a few minutes away from Respite.

If museums and history suit your style, take a tour of the Glenn H. Curtiss Aviation Museum in Hammondsport or the Corning Museum of Glass. The opportunities are nearly endless.

So whether you choose to relax, or explore, or both, we trust that when you depart, you'll be feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. And maybe even be planning a return trip to this quaint retreat nestled in the Finger Lakes!

This cozy cottage is just that. It's nice, warm, and welcome. The kitchen has been updating and was great for cooking family meals. The beds were nice, and the house was clean. The wrap around porch and back yard are the starts of this property. They are perfect for eating, playing games, and such easy access to the lake with all the accessories (kayaks, tubes, fishing rods, life jackets including toddled life jackets etc.) give plenty of activities to do just in the backyard. A final note - The AC unit was great and kept us cool on the few hot days we were there.

Very pleased with our stay on Keuka Lake. Location is ideal for all exploration of the neighboring area. Although we had cooler weather, we did not have any complaints, and in fact, enjoyed each and every day. Kayaked beautifully and relaxed with a book, if we were at the lake, and had fun exploring when we felt like it. A delightful cottage-just what we hoped for and so we will be back again.

We had a great week at Respite. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved relaxing on the porch taking in the view of the lake. Having kayaks available for our use was great. The bedrooms were tiny but the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were updated. The location was close to both Hammondsport and Penn Yan. Smooth check-in and check out. We hope to return!

Highly recommend - cottage was very clean & comfortable. Location and view were amazing (including sunsets). Good size lakefront and very nice dock. Wraparound porch with rockers was a favorite with our family. Cottage was well stocked and had AC. Convenient location with access to wineries & restaurants. We also really appreciated use of kayaks.

We loved our time at Respite. The porch is huge and has the best view of Keuka. We are used to staying in a very rustic Adirondack cabin so having a a microwave, washer/dryer and dishwasher was a big upgrade. My boys caught many fish including small/large mouth bass, pickerel and perch. Parking is tight, and neighbors are close, so lake manners are important to consider. We loved the kitchen and antiques.
