About this cottage rental

Experience this beautifully handcrafted lakefront cottage, mere steps from water’s edge on the southeast shore of Keuka Lake. Just 5 miles north of downtown Hammondsport and minutes away from some of Keuka's best wineries, the cottage is ideally located for exploring top local attractions while enjoying a special haven of relaxation. It's everything you want in a lake house and more — kayaks and paddle board, onsite parking, wifi and cable, gas grill, fire pit, good fishing, and SPECTACULAR sunsets!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This owner-built lake house is a treasure in itself with fine woodworking showcased throughout every room of the home, each of them with unobstructed lake views.

✧ THE BUILDING: Three bedrooms — each with beautiful views of the lake — accommodate up to six people comfortably. The main level has a full bath with walk-in shower and washer/dryer, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, a cozy sitting room with TV, and a bedroom with a queen bed and spacious closet. In colder months, the cozy wood burning stove can be used with owner's approval. Step outside to enjoy the lake view from the wrap-around deck, complete with an Adirondack Glider loveseat and gas grill. Beginning in summer of 2025, the deck will be extended to include an outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas grill and a full dining set— all overlooking the lake! The big primary bedroom has a king bed, TV, double door closet, and twin daybed. There is a dedicated home office space adjacent to another full bath, as well as a third bedroom upstairs with two twin beds and ample closet space (note: the two twin beds will be replaced by a new queen bed starting in 2025). Also upstairs is a walk out balcony for your sunset-viewing enjoyment. With central air conditioning, our cottage is comfortable year round.

✧ THE PROPERTY: There is room for up to four cars to park in the gravel spaces across from the house, just steps from the 2nd-level main entrance, so unloading luggage and groceries is a breeze. Stairs from the main-level deck take you down to the lakeshore where you will find a fire pit with Adirondack chair seating and owner-maintained raised flower garden. Feel free to bring your own boat or rent one from one of the various nearby boat rental shops, and you can leave it safely tied to our dock when you're not pleasure cruising Keuka lake. You will also have access to our THREE kayaks, paddle board, pedal boat, row boat, and life jackets stored in the ground-level basement.

Keuka Cottage can be enjoyed in all four seasons.

☀ Stay with us in warmer months for swimming, sunbathing, water sports and boating. Visit in the fall for stunning fall foliage and harvest events at the local wineries.

❄ In winter and early spring, the cottage is your warm and cozy cabin retreat with views of snow covered hills across the icy lake. There's cross-country ski trails nearby, and you're just a ~50 minute drive from Bristol Mountain ski resort. Most of the wineries, breweries, and distilleries stay open year round.

During the popular summer months we have a 7-night minimum stay, check in and out only on Saturdays. Select an available Saturday in the calendar menu and you will see the following week is available. The rest of the year we have a four night minimum stay, and you can check in any day of the week.

Other things to note:

• At present, there is not a dishwasher in the kitchen, so guests must hand wash their dishes.

• Guests that plan on swimming in the lake should bring their own water shoes as the lake bed has many zebra mussels that can cut your feet.

• In 2021 we installed and tested a state of the art water filtration and UV sterilization system, so water from the tap is now safe to drink.

• Four beds in three bedrooms sleep up to six people comfortably. There is also a small twin daybed in the primary bedroom, and a sofa in the TV room.

• The north side of our boat dock has two mooring pilings so renters can securely dock their owned or rented motor boats with a 4-point tie off system.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Keuka Cottage. Everyone was impressed with the space, the fine workmanship, and the amenities. The outdoor eating and grilling deck was superb. Fishing, swimming, kayaking, feeding the ducks and just enjoying the views and environment made for a great experience

Our family group of six had an absolutely wonderful week at this beautiful cottage in a perfect location on Keuka Lake! The cottage is right on the shoreline, making for quick and easy access to the lake and water activities. We loved the outdoor grilling/dining area and the fire pit for enjoying the beautiful sunsets. And the hosts were very responsive to all of questions - it was a great vacation!

The Craftsman Cottage is excellent . It’s true the wooden craftsmanship is very lovely. The decor is calming, charming and furniture fits well. The windows are large and views are beautiful. The kitchen is small but well equipped . The 3 bedrooms are plenty big and comfortable. The 2 bathrooms are fine and one has a tub. The living room is great for a small group or family to gather. The outside space is super, with plenty of places to sit and view the Lake.There are steps down to the cottage and more down to the beach. The dock is great and a fun place to fish or swim off of. It looks like soon there will be an outside kitchen and large deck to enjoy. Check in and out were easy. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Just returned from the most beautiful stay at this special home. Aside from the location, being perfect, the dock, beautiful and beach access a breeze. The interior Woodwork in this home was like nothing I've ever seen. The Home had everything you could possibly need was absolutely beautiful inside and you can tell how special it is to the owners as well. We felt super lucky to be able to spend time. Our family dog is still asleep from all the swimming he did.

If you love stained wood (which we DO!), this cottage is perfect--beautiful wood grain walls and some ceilings with large windows overlooking sunsets on Keuka! Beds were comfy, and we each had our own bathroom and TV!! :o) The cottage was very clean with a well-stocked kitchen. We even spent some quality time on the pier snacking with the local female duck!! Really nice, quiet place centrally located to Hammondsport and the surrounding area. Would definitely stay here again.

We spent a delightful week with our grown children at Keuka cottage. The host stopped by to make sure we got in easily. The location was stunning and the home was beautiful and very unique. The amenities were perfect...kitchen well stocked, plenty of newer kayaks, comfortable beds and a lovely new bathroom on the lower level. The wood finishes in the interior are lovely. We hope to return again next year.
