About this cottage rental
The newly renovated Jepsen Heritage Cottage, is located off State Rt. 54A at (formerly 42) 420 Crescent Beach Dr, at the northern end of the West branch of Keuka Lake about 1.5 miles from Branckport and 10 miles from Penn Yan. It is in a quiet family community with both seasonal cottages and year-round homes.
Guests of the cottage will enjoy an unobstructed, picturesque view of the western branch of Keuka Lake from a 2012 rebuilt enclosed porch. This includes a view of Bluff Point and the eastern branch which is nearly 10 miles away. 2017 brought a rebuild of the entrance porch and bathroom areas.
The cottage is situated on a level location from the 4 car parking area on the north, to the cottage, and then gently slopes to the water's edge. There are two small steps to the north entrance and a 2 step entrance to a newly constructed outside deck, on the the west.
The 55 - foot frontage is a fine-pebble beach which provides easy
access to shallow water. This area is perfect for families who desire wading or swimming, or just relaxing with a good book.
The water depth increases very gradually, from approximately 24" at the end of the dock to 4' deep at 130 feet from shore. The buoys mark the drop off to the deeper waters of the lake and are a favorite spot for fishermen from around the world.
Our 80' dock includes a 160' deck with peaceful glider and Adirondack chairs, for a relaxing view of the entire west branch of Keuka Lake.
Inside the buoys is a no-wake zone, giving safe swimming and recreation for families.
Previous guest's comments after staying at the Jepsen Heritage.
'The cottage is so cozy and well equipped!'
'It was just wonderful to wake up in the morning to the lovely view of the lake!'
'Thank you for a wonderful place to vacation. Best view of the lake! This cottage has character, and many comforts. We love it!'
'This is our 6th stay in your cottage...in lovely Keuka Lake, Branchport. The fishing is excellent and we are already making plans to come back!'
'Getting up this morning and hearing the waves hit the shore is the best music ever composed!'
'Being from the city (New York), we absolutely needed this perfect rest, replete with tree frogs and ducks!'
'We have never been to the Finger Lakes before...so glad we came. We
decided that Crescent Beach was the most beautiful place to stay!'
'What a beautiful cottage, we had a wonderful vacation here, and the
shallow water was perfect for our 4 and 2 year olds! We would like to
come back!'
'We had a great time! Highlights of the week included daily walks to the State Park, a hike to the top of Watkins Glen, and lunch on the terrace of Bully Hill! Thanks for a wonderful week!'
And from a younger visitor.... 'At first I was a little mad that we were spending my birthday here. The second I got here though, I changed my mind. I loved it here. The swimming part, the Mercantile, everything was awesome! I really want to return!'
'The new kitchen, porch, and deck are wonderful!'

My sister and I had a wonderful stay at this cottage. We loved the glider at the end of the dock. Spent each afternoon there enjoying the view of the lake. You can walk really far into the lake before getting to the deep part. We had to spend one day inside because of the rain but we sat on the sun porch and were still able to enjoy the view of the lake. There were laminated notes around that we found very helpful, such as how to operate the futons, the tv, etc. and where things were located. Chris and Joan were very nice hosts and got right back to you if you had questions. The neighbors were very friendly and we were grateful to them for their help to us. We will definitely try to go back here for vacation

This summer home is located close to the lake shore and it is level. It is a very warm, comfortable and inviting atmosphere. It was peaceful and just what we needed.
We would definitely stay there again!

If you're looking to just travel the area, this is an ok place to stay. Very dusty in hard to reach areas that did not agree with my allergies, but this is understandable. Many notes left telling you what you can and cannot do. If you're looking to relax and spend most of your time at the house, my suggestion would be to look elsewhere.
Immediately after entering the rental we had the unfortunate meeting with the couple next door, in which we learned very quickly the gentleman would constantly harass us until the end of our trip. Due to the yards being connected and small, there is little room to accompany a group of 5 at the fire pit. Setting up an extra camping chair and a hammock on each side, we were quickly told about the leg of the camping chair being on his property. We respectfully moved the camping chair and apologized as the property line is not very clear and a lot of outside furniture spread througout making it more confusing. During our trip it was very hot and sunny so we attempted to set up shade over the chairs and again were quickly told about the leg of the canopy. Then told he had a camera and we would be watched. We left the home and traveled to stay away. Something we did not want to do, but felt forced. When arriving back, our canopy has been taken down. The confrontations would continue day to day, nitpicking everything. Needless to say, we stayed away from the property as much as possible. We left quickly and early our last day

•jump in a lake
•enjoy some local vineyards

Everything was as I hoped. The house feels old fashioned, but with a new kitchen and bathroom and great accessibility for my sister-in-law, who was recovering from hip surgery. Surprise bonuses were the super nice neighbors and the wildlife refuge adjacent to the neighborhood, that you could explore by boat or on foot.

It was an excellent place to stay on the lake, you couldn’t get any closer unless you were in the lake!
Beautiful views, beautiful rainbows! Very relaxing, refreshing.
The hosts/owners were very easy to communicate with, very informative, helpful and pleasant.
Very nice neighborhood and friendly neighbors , an easy walk about. An excellent location for kayaks, paddle boards, and boats and other watercraft.
We would highly recommend Jepsen Cottage, directly on Lake Keuka!

Beautiful Cottage in the Branchport area of Keuka Lake. Very centrally located with quick access to Penn Yan and Wineries on both East and West Side of Keuka Lake. The Sunsets are Magnificent and all the neighbors are friendly. Have to give a shout-out to the Olney Place for the quality of lunch fare, and had a chance meeting with the Icon Hermann J. Wiemer in a wine shop in Penn Yan. Loved my stay in this beautiful cottage and highly recommend Keuka Lake for it’s laidback Vibe 💕🍷

Beautiful weekend getaway on the lake
This cottage was the perfect weekend getaway for me and my family. Right on the lake, we walked out of our room right to the dock to swim and fish. The owners were great with communications and ensured a smooth stay. Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Clean, Relaxing & Gorgeous View of Keuka Lake
Chris & Joan's place is enchanting. It was exactly what I needed to relax and feel rejuvenated. I've traveled the world, and this was one of my favorite places to stay. On the first night, we watched shooting stars from the dock. On the second night, we had a bonfire next to the water. Everyone slept well and was comfortable. This spot is a gem! I highly recommend this beautiful place. Thanks, Chris & Joan!

Beautiful view
Great cottage on the water with a beautiful view down the west branch of Keuka. Comfortable beds and futon. Easy water access for your bass boat or jet skis at the Branchport park "next door" and walk your kayaks in right at the cottage. Beautiful, spacious, updated bathroom.

Fishing Trip
We had an incredible time staying on Lake Keuka and at this small cottage. The amenities were simple but all that we needed. Our stay there was a blessing and will be remembered for many years to come!! Highly recommended if you’re looking for some peace and quiet on beautiful lake.

Beautiful comfortable home that had air-conditioning which was much needed my first couple of days.
The property was relaxing and I love sleeping in front of the water on the porch. Neighbors were super nice but the cottages are very very close together so if you want privacy this would not be the place. The location is fabulous however and it was much worth it for me

Perfect lake getaway
If you are looking for a charming, quiet location directly on the lake to enjoy with your family- this is it! The cottage has so much charm, and you can tell how loved it is by the owners and all who stay there. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and there are so many fun things to do in the area. We couldn't be happier!

Amazing Mini Vaycay
This property is PERFECT for some drinks and swimming with friends. The water is so close to the house and there’s plenty of sleeping space! The only thing we weren’t prepared for is that no linens really means no towels. There were no hand towels in the bathroom or kitchen which we could have used. But we had a great time and nice home-y feel. The neighbors are all very nice as well!

Whose Cleaning Responsibility ???
Despite the copious amounts of cleaning instructions for each guest, throughout the cottage we found that the previous guests did not take this responsibility seriously... grease drips in the kitchen sink, no vacuuming nor swiffering where indicated, and troubling , woman's underwear and other items were on a bedroom floor..... this was not welcoming and cast a pall on our stay.

Relaxing week on Lake Keuka
Beautiful lake view from this cottage. We happened to be there during a full moon and the reflection on the water at night was equally beautiful. Very quiet neighborhood and good communication with owners. A great spot to base at while exploring all the Finger Lakes has to offer.

Our stay on the lake
This is our second time staying at this cottage and like the first time, it was a very pleasant stay. Listening to the waves splashing onto the shore at night made for a great nights sleep and to wake up and look directly out to the beautiful Keuka Lake was awesome, especially when there was a cool morning mist! The newly remodeled bathroom is spacious and the shower has plenty of room. As with our first visit, we hated it when it was time to leave!

Very nice stay - what a view!!!
We had a lovely mini family vacation here on Keuka Lake. This is a VERY cozy cottage with all you would need to enjoy the lake. The swimming was great for the kids, sleeping was great as the beds and futons are cozy, and everything you go to the lake for was perfect - beautiful dock, beautiful windows to hear the waves and feel the lake breeze, and beautiful views... thank you !!

Right on the water!
This is the perfect place if you are looking to enjoy waterfront on the lake.
We had a great time during our short stay. We swam, floated around, fished, had a campfire, did some hiking nearby.
It was a great relaxing getaway.
The cottage was clean and comfortable. Had what we needed. We loved the bed in the front room. We listened to the sounds of the lake while lying in bed.
The neighbors on both sides were really friendly and offered tips on things to do.

Great View, Owners and Neighbors!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Jepsen Heritage Cottage!
