About this property

Jepsen Heritage- Feel Safe and Rest, Right On the Lake!

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.
Inside the buoys s a no-wake zone, giving safe swimming and recreation for families.

'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!'

Keuka College 40th Class Reunion
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!

Ok stay for traveling the area
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

Homey and Accessible Lake Retreat
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.

Beautiful, relaxing, and very pleasant to stay ‘on the lake’
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!

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Joan Johnson

Host profile image
Chris and Joan Johnson, owners. Both educators for 50 years in Brockport , NY. Joan's parents purchased the family cottage in 1964, where family gathered every summer throughout her childhood. Once it was time to pass the cottage on she and her husband took over responsibility and ownership. In the last few years they have personally enjoyed renovating during school vacations to enhance, yet keep the charm of this lovely vacation home.

Why they chose this property

We were dedicated to keeping this property in the family after our father and mother purchased it in 1964. Many wonderful memories have been made there and many more are to come. Numbers of the same families remain neighbors and great friends from the past decades. It is our oasis, the place we long to be at as much as feasibly possible. For times we cannot be there ourselves, we love to offer it to other families to start to make similar memories of their own.
