We had a multigenerational family vacation at this lovely and well-appointed lake house. We loved the ever changing views of the lake over the course of the day, the easy access to the water via the dock and beach and the comfortale house with lots of different spaces for gathering and sleeping. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back!

Love our stay here.Love the bed downstairs.Wish there was a fireplace as it says.Think a canopy could be provided so visitors could have access to some shade.Explain better about garbage to the street because both times it’s been slap full when we arrived.I have a bad back unable to take theirs and mine all the way down to the road.Half bath not very usable due to seat all over the place.plastic nuts stripped.But we love it just some quirks

This was our second year in the same rental unit. We had expected to make it three years straight by reserving the same week for next summer. We were terribly disappointed to learn the entire summer of 2025 was already booked. Perhaps because our experience with Florida rentals is that renters in any given time period are almost always given priority for the same period in the following year, we were mildly stunned by our discovery. I do not believe rental reservations should be allowed more than a year in advance. If there is a situation where the owner of the rental unit expects to use the property for a special event of their own the following year, the renters in any given year should be told in advance the property will not be available at the same time the following year. In fact, the renters can even be told the property will be available in two years, although that need not be done. We have, however, seen both such actions taken in Florida.

Excellent on all counts.

We loved the views of Keuka lake. We often had 12 hours of sun and we were able to swim and and use our own kayak many days. The house had ample parking and a large beachfront. Fortunately, my son in law brought us a canopy to allow us some shade on cloudless days. The house was comfortable… we were a large group of mixed ages and prepared food in the kitchen most evenings. Unfortunately there was a power outage (not the owners fault) and we weren’t able to open the majority of the windows which had no screens. But even so, we’ve already booked for next year.

If you know anything about the Finger Lakes you know how rare a large flat lot with a lot of privacy is and this property has both of those things. The house itself is very clean and decorated really cute. The bedroom on the main floor does not have a ceiling which isn’t an issue if you put the early risers in that room but could be a problem for someone who wants to sleep in as its right off the kitchen and there really is no way to be quiet to not wake up whoever is in that bedroom. My only very minor complaint is that there are no chairs around the fire pit so I would recommend bringing your own. Otherwise this house has everything you need and the owner is very responsive. We locked ourselves out one day and they immediately helped us get back in. Would love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Keuka rental.

We had a wonderful family vacation here. The house had adequate space for us: 6 adults and 3 children age 5 and under. The yards around the house were level (unlike some FLX properties) and provided stressless play area for our 3 grandchildren to run around. We love this house and all its features. Only a few minor things to be aware of: the bottom floor bedroom with 2 bunks was a good size for our daughter and her husband and 2 children age 3 and under … however, there were NO blinds or blackout curtains on the windows … meaning that 2 young kids awakened at the crack of dawn with the sunlight (one window facing east) and were ready to go! After the 2nd morning, our son-in-law improvised and found enough cardboard to craft a makeshift covering for inside the window. Not a huge issue, but just something to be aware of for those with young children. In fact, we didn’t find that any of the bedrooms had thick window treatments. My wife prefers absolute darkness for a good night’s sleep. We still had a great week! Also, one of the full bathrooms entry is into the eating area. Not a big deal for us, just a little awkward. For any families who prefer an en suite with 100% bathroom privacy, this isn’t possible. Again, not a big deal for our family, but just something to be aware of. The owner was easily accessible during the week when we needed to communicate. We hope to return to this VRBO in the coming years. It was great for us! Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time at Birchwood cottage, the decor and the property are beautiful and the access to the lake couldn’t be nicer. From fishing off the dock to watching the sun rise from the patio we made good use of the outdoor spaces. Keuka lake is crystal clear and beautiful. There are a number of wineries within a few minutes drive of the cottage. It does take 20 mins or so to get to a grocery store but all in all it wasn’t that far to get to Penn Yan for these items. We would definitely return again!
