This cottage was everything that was shown and more! Everything was perfect! We all enjoyed ourselves and the view was spectacular! Would highly recommend!

We so enjoyed our stay at this property that we were planning our next visit while still there! The amount of room in this clean, convenient, easily accessible home with welcoming décor is amazing. A perfect place for a large group/family. We enjoyed being able to eat and play games AT THE SAME TABLE, both indoors and outside, and also enjoyed the ample seating in the living room, and on the covered back porch just steps from the lake! Rain cancelled our firepit on the beach with s’mores that we deemed too messy for the gas fire pit on the porch. People kayaked or fished off the big, sturdy, beautiful deck every chance we had, and we had morning coffee and evening drinks out there sitting in the comfortable glider chairs. If it had been a bit warmer we would have been swimming and using the large floating mat! We saw bald eagles, hawks, many kinds of ducks and geese every day. The outside temps ranged from 50 - 80 deg. during our stay and we didn’t need to use the modern AC/heat units or even the gas fireplace, since simply opening or closing a few of the easy open windows controlled the indoor temperature perfectly. The location is perfect, halfway between Hammondsport and Penn Yan, less than 30 min. from Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. We visited several wineries, distilleries, state parks and hiking areas, and the Windmill Craft & Farmers market, the area and views breathtaking. The only things different from “It’s A Grape Life” and a resort hotel are a chef and a maid!

We had a group of 11 friends. We had the most amazing time! The hosts were very gracious and provided an amazing experience. They were there at check in to walk us through the property. Even prior they were very informative of everything they provided and things we might need to bring. Great hosts and beautiful property!

The weather was blustery and rainy during our stay this year at It's a Grape Life, but the Grape's and their wonderful house made it pleasant. We fished off the dock (successfully!), and we kayaked on the calm mornings, and we made good use of the gas fire pit on the covered porch and the dining table for card games. We witnessed an eagle catch a fish! And we had extra time to watch the eagle because a hawk was nearby, and the two birds had a short standoff in a neighbor's tree. The hawk gave up, and after a few minutes, the eagle took off. Another great day at Keuka!

It’s a Grape Life was a wonderful place to stay. My friends and I cooked dinner there, hung out on the dock, went swimming, sat on the back porch, and just enjoy the house in general. It is a wonderful place to stay! The owners, Rick and Peg, are absolutely wonderful.

This property was perfect for our group of 9. To start, there was plenty of parking for all of the vehicles with space to spare. The owners greated us upon arrival and explained how things worked which was very helpful. The property and house were beautiful. The gas fire pit was put to good use as the weather was cool and wet. We had plenty of space insde and out. The level property and proximity to the lake was also a bonus it allowed 1 of our guests with limited mobilty to enjoy a campfire and the lake. I personally enjoyed kayaking almost every morning so peaceful. Our entire group had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this property (just not the weekend I want to go)😊 Thank you Rick and Peg for sharing you house with us.i

A group of nine ladies from three different states that attended grade school together. All of us are newly retired except for two women. This was our first time all together. The house was perfect in so many ways. We were able to walk to an amazing distillery with delicious cocktails and a gorgeous view. The dock was wonderful and the abundance of chairs was great! The owners were exceptional in every possible way‼️ We highly recommend Cruisin Keuka - Jim the owner picked us up at our dock and we did a 2 hour sunset cruise❤️
The pontoon boat was big and the seats were plush! Everyone raved about the cruise!!!
There was so many things to do at the house that we didn’t get to do. Definitely would rent again!!!
Highly recommend this rental!!!

My wife and 8 of her closest friends stayed at the property for a weekend birthday celebration. First off - communication with the property owners was easy and thorough. Everything was arranged ahead of arrival.
The owners met the girls at their arrival to show the property and even had a special gift for my wife’s birthday. The property was just as lovely as described, within walking distance of some of the places the girls wanted to go and although the weather didn’t totally cooperate everyone still had a great time. I would definitely recommended renting this property and the owners were incredible.

Another great week at It’s A Grape Life. We enjoyed spending a week on Keuka Lake with our kids and grandkids. This home is beautiful and has all amenities you need to have a great time. This is the fifth year we have rented this home and have had a great time each year.

My family and I stayed for a week at their beautiful lake house for a family reunion. This house was perfect for entertaining! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were a couple of kinks during our stay but Rick and Peg responded immediately and were very proactive at getting the situation resolved. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend this lake house to anyone with a large group. The house is great, the outside entertaining areas and dock are amazing and I think it’s one of the best views on the lake. I would definitely book again in the future.

Stay here, you won’t regret it. It’s absolutely perfect. We had an amazing time at this lovely lake house. The house is well appointed with everything you could possibly need. We loved the awesome red rocking swivel chairs at the end of the deck overlooking the lake. We enjoyed family, food, fun, fishing, and beautiful sunsets. Thank you Rick and Peg!

Rick & Peg are gracious hosts who have a cute home that was perfect for a birthday weekend with 14 adults. House would have been bit tight with the other 2 folks who cancelled last minute.
We ate, drank, played in the lake, and the house, its amenities, & the host’s hospitality made it all happen.
We didn’t explore the surrounding area too much, but the place is centrally located to everything you need. Watkins Glen park was exceptional.

Perfect doesn’t even begin to describe our stay. The Grapes were attentive, accommodating and every little detail made a huge impact. Their lake home is warm and inviting, beautiful decor, grounds and lakefront and all the amenities are there. The description fit to a tee, it’s paradise. We were siblings of 5 plus spouses celebrating multiple birthdays and we had a blast. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!!! Thank you Rick & Peg for being such wonderful hosts.

We stayed here for my friends bachelorette party and everything was perfect! The house came with everything we needed and accommodated our large group with ease! The location is convenient and close to many restaurants and wineries. The hosts were super friendly and greeted us when we arrived.

What a wonderful location!!! There were 13 ladies staying for an extended weekend to celebrate my sister being CANCER FREE!! The weather was perfect and the location couldn't have been better. We were in walking distance to winery's and a distillery. The house felt like a home and not a rental!
It was nicely stocked with items one might forget to pack. We enjoyed coffee and wine in the best Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake! The fire's on the covered porch or down by the lake were just what the doctor ordered! We can't wait to come back! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with all of us!
Mary and gang:)

From a great central location with amazing wineries to the view on the lake, my friends and I had a wonderful time staying at It’s a Grape Life! Rick and Peg are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and they truly make sure your stay feels like home. The beds are super comfortable and the amenities they provide are everything you could wish for on a lake getaway. Thank you for a unforgettable stay.

We had another terrific 10 days at It's a Grape Life. The weather cooperated a little more this year than last, and we were able to have more kayaking and dock-sitting. We also had a wonderful fire in the fire pit and enjoyed S'mores one evening. Such a great time at a fantastic location. Thank you Peg and Rick for sharing your home!!

My friends and I love this property and the owners. They always visit us when we arrive, and make us feel welcome. The back porch and dock with attached Adirondack Chairs are some of our favorites about the home and property.

I rented the cottage for a bachelorette weekend and it was a perfect location. Walking distance from two wineries and one distillery. The view of the lake being right on it was such a treat. We enjoyed our morning coffee outside and drinks and dinner later in the evening with a great sunset view! Rick and Peg are also great hosts and were so helpful with recommendations for restaurants in the area and any questions we had! Highly recommend!!

Thank you Rick and Peg for a great week away! The house was spacious and comfortable in a fabulous location. The owners have thought of everything - from tons of power/USB cords, stocked kitchen, plenty of outdoor seating/lounges, kayaks and water tubes, and much more!
The home is conveniently location between Hammondsport and Pen Yan with a couple local vineyards within walking distance!

Family Reunion at It's a Grape Life
Born and raised in Corning, NY and spent all my summers on Keuka Lake. Was looking for a cottage on Keuka for family reunion. It's a Grape Life did not disappoint. We had a wonderful time. We especially enjoyed the dock....it was very roomy with comfy chairs. The location could not be beat.

Love this place!
I have been renting homes in FLX for the past 10yrs & this place was the best by far. There isn`t anything the hosts haven't thought of - anything/everything you need is there. Great location to wineries, hiking, etc. The sunsets are beautiful, you can take out paddle boats, kayaks or just sit on dock, porch, etc & enjoy this place.
We will definitely be back again!

Great 80th Birthday weekend!
