About this house rental
**Summer 2024 is fully booked** A renters dream! Located close to the Village of Penn Yan and right in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath lake house makes for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Great for families to rent with plenty of relaxing activities close by. Located on the east lake side, you’re within walking distance to a local park, close proximity to the movie theater and bowling alley just in case a rainy day keeps you from the lake, or stay inside and enjoy the family board games. A large deck for dinners and entertaining includes two electric retractable awnings making it the perfect spot to watch the beautiful Keuka sunsets. Your own private dock to go fishing, two kayaks provided for exploring the lake and a fire pit for smores filled evenings.
Looking to get out for a bit? The Keuka Wine Trail is a must and Seneca Lake is just quick drive from the house. The Village of Penn Yan offers coffee shops, local shops, bistros, bars and breweries, etc. Lakeside Country Club is right nearby as well.
On site laundry is provided, plenty of closet space in the house along with ample parking (which is hard to come by on the lake!). Note, two full baths, one with a shower and a tub in another. The house is “all-seasons”, connected to city water with forced air heating and air conditioning.
On a personal note, this isn't our fulltime job. We are 2 working parents to 2 young kids with the hope when we retire we can be at the lake more permanently. We do utilize the house for personal use throughout the year. We attempt each year to make updates to the house to allow for a positive renter's experience. Some highlights for 2023 and 2024 include the following: extended the dock which includes an end "patio", replaced large outdoor dining table which increased capacity from 6 to 8 people, updated grill, purchase new bedding and towels, replaced indoor rug, replaced kitchen items and purchased new AC units for 2 bedrooms.
Sorry, no pets! No smoking in the house! Minimum age to rent: 30 years old. Dock and AC in all rooms is guaranteed to be in Memorial Day - Labor Day.
Please feel free to ask any questions!

This lovely home has everything for a relaxing week on the water. Great outdoor areas where we spent as much time as possible. Grandkids loved catching bass, sunfish, bluegill, turtles, and crayfish! One of the nicest, sturdiest docks I’ve seen. Also loved being able to safely walk into town each morning. Sweet memories for our family. Thank you Laurie!

Very nice place on the lake! Close to town and marina which makes it so easy to get a meal, supplies or a boat rental. The house is nice and had everything we needed. We used the paddleboat and kayaks. Visited Keuka Spring Vineyards and local waterfaills (Watkins Glen and Taughannock are must sees). Thanks Laurie for a nice lodging option!

This home is perfect! On the water, clean and beautiful! We can’t say enough about how great this was to accommodate 4 long time friends. We had plenty of room and relaxed on the beautiful large deck too. Laurie was easy to communicate with and has everything you need for an amazing vacation. I will definitely look to stay at Laurie’s place again when visiting the finger lakes again. Thank you Laurie!

Our family enjoyed our stay at this lake side property. Each morning we were able to enjoy coffee on the deck that overlooked the lake. Our stay was quiet and peaceful. The property came with access to 2 kayaks and a paddle boat. We had plenty of space indoor for our family to enjoy games and relax.

Roomy Home Away from Home
This property has everything you need in the kitchen (pots, pans, coffee maker, crock pot, blender, hand mixer, baking sheets, etc.). It made preparing meals a breeze!
The views and back porch are my favorite part about this rental! The water is calming and you can't beat having a fire right by it at night. There are a few wineries within 20 minutes and the town is so close if you don't feel like cooking.
We had a few minor things pop up during our stay and Laurie was extremely responsive to help us! I would recommend this property for any type of stay!

Beautiful lakeside home
Beautiful home, comfortably appointed. Could fit a large family or group of friends but was a great size for a quiet couples getaway. Beautiful deck to enjoy the view! Host communicated well and provided clear check in and check out information plus a book of menus and local info. We loved our stay.

The location was also good to get into town for anything that you may need. The communication was great with the owners and our family truly enjoyed our time at the QKA retreat.
