We had such a wonderful stay at this home. The kitchen is beautiful with recent updates. The place was very clean and well-maintained. The owner was so helpful with local tips on the area! We loved the accessibility to the vineyards and local restaurants. This is the perfect place to stay-"Soup to Nuts"!!!!!

A group of runners from Virginia were headed to New York to run the Wineglass Marathon in Corning (early October). Instead of the typical stay in a hotel the group discussed staying in a lakehouse near the race which started in Bath, N.Y. We found Beth's house to fit our needs perfectly (15 minutes from the start line). The house easily accommodated five couples and two singles. As is normal with most gatherings the kitchen and den are where you congregate. The modern kitchen and large downstairs den easily handled all of us. The upstairs den was used as well. The large flat screen TV's provided hours of college and professional football viewing for the guys. The views of the lake were fantastic. The weather didn't allow us to spend time down by the lake but there was plenty of equipment (canoe's, docks, shed with a refrigerator and microwave) available had we been able to spend time by the water. If you are looking for a serene, beautiful and comfortable place that will accommodate a large group look no further. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! Our group is already making plans to return during the summer to take advantage of the lake and other outdoor activities (hiking, biking, wineries and breweries). Thank you Beth for sharing your house with us!

We had an amazing week at Beth's house. Everything was as described in the listing. We loved every minute of our week, from cooking in the very well equpped kitchen (that included 3 coffee pots, two refrigerators, and a freezer), to enjoying sunsets on the two decks, or down by the lake while we made s'mores in the fire pit. The house is big and spacious. We had 12 people and never felt crowded. There are two living areas, which gave our teenagers a place to call their own. Lots of seating in the kitchen. Lots of chairs for outdoor seating-both on the decks and down by the lake. The lake is gorgeous. We rented a boat for the week and spent many hours tubing, skiing and sightseeing. The house has a boat hoist which made securing the boat so easy. I cannot say enough about how much we loved this house and Keuka Lake. Beth is awesome to work with, and answered all our questions in a timely manner. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat...I just hope it's available!

I really didn't want to review the house because it may make it more difficult to rent in the future but my consious got the best of me. We had a great time. Loved the shed by the water. Beth just added a boat hoist that was perfect for our boat and replaced 2 of the docks. The layout was perfect for us. Three families with several teenage kids. The 2 Girls had the twin bedroom and the boys made the upstairs living room with attached bunk room into their man cave. The adult couples each had a room and we still had the "round bed" room to spare. We have vacationed at beach houses for over 15 years and have never stayed at a better equipped house. Tons of chairs, life jackets, grills, awesome raft/swim platform, nice kayaks, canoe, row boat. We do a lot of cooking and everyone was happy with the kitchen, pots/pans, dishes, and gadgets. THREE COFFEE MAKERS, 2 large toasters, 2 full size refridgerators, and dorm fridges scattered around the house. I have never met Beth but I am sure by the way the house is setup she would fit perfectly with our crowd. Between the house, lake, and the weather we had it was probably the best vacation.

The description is accurate -- This is a fabulous house for a family reunion! If your family is like mine -- we love each other, but personal space is nice, this is the house for you. We had 13 folks staying in the house for a week and we never felt like we were piled on top of each other. Beth, the owner, is responsive and very accommodating. The house is well stocked with all the necessary amenities and there are lots of options for experience there -- climate controlled comfy chair in the up or downstairs living room, deck chair on the up or downstairs deck, comfy chair at the lake side... take your pick for your perfect reading, relaxing, communing space. Seriously consider this house for a big get together and a fantastic location to allow you to enjoy Keuka Lake.

Our family has rented properties in the Finger Lakes region almost every October for the last ten years. It is a mid point for scattered family to come together for Canadian Thanksgiving. Everyone agreed that this has been the best place so far. The kitchen was well equipped, even to cook a full turkey dinner, and the open concept was nice for the cooks to not feel cut off from the rest. We had 8 adults, 4 teens, and one child - ranging in age from 77 to 7 - and the house accomodated us beautifully. Having four full bathrooms was a great luxury. The upstairs family room was a perfect place for the younger ones to hang out together. The outside decks catch the afternoon sun, so it was perfectly warm to sit outside in a t-shirt even in October. The fall colours are spectacular and there is lots to do in the area.

This was a perfect location for our get- together. Five couples and we all had enough of our own space, plus a great kitchen where we could all sit together and a spacious living room with a nice view of Keuka Lake. The property was clean and the beach area was a nice place to just sit and relax. Near enough to town to get supplies, but once you got them, you didn't really need to leave the property. Highly recommend.

Four couples enjoyed a fall getaway at the Keuka Lake house. The kitchen was large and FULLYequipped. Multi-level porches made a great opportunity to enjoy views of the lake. The kayaks and canoe were available for a relaxing paddle up the lake to see the lakefront of some of the outstanding homes along East Lake Road. The two livingrooms provided separate spaces for different activities. It made a good vantage point for the Curtiss Museum and local wineries- reasonable to Corning Glass too. There is a nice golf club 10 minutes up the road.

We had a family reunion here and it was a wonderful experience! The owners were very easy to deal with and answered any and all questions we had prior to renting and our arrival. The house itself was large enough to accommodate 9 adults and 2 children comfortably. There was a large kitchen/family room that easily accommodated all of us. There was another large family room on the second floor. The beach area was a good size and the little children had a wonderful time playing in the shallow water on floats while the older folks swam out to the raft. We all enjoyed the kayaks and row boat. That was a definite plus. There was docking space for the motor boat my son rented for the day. I would highly recommend the Reunion House.

We had our family reunion at this lovely home and it was the best experience! The owners were very easy to deal with and answered any questions we had prior to renting and our arrival. The house itself was definitely large enough to accommodate 11 adults and one child. The kitchen was stocked with anything that one may need for fixing meals and space for eating. Having the large decks was great. We all enjoyed our time down at the water. There was more than enough outdoor furniture for seating in all areas. Many of us kayaked and enjoyed having access to those for our enjoyment. That was a definite plus. The house furnishings were exceptionably nice and the beds were comfortable. Listing photos are accurate and the property was very clean and well maintained. There are many nearby activities to keep everyone busy: Wineries, the Wind Mill, bicycling, museums, fishing, golf, walks. We enjoyed them all, when not just relaxing around the house. There are steps to get down to the water, but easier steps than a lot of homes along the lake.
