Nice getaway at the Kingfisher

Gorgeous view and very comfortable home. Loved sitting on the deck or in the living room and watching the lake. The kitchen was well stocked with a large variety of equipment and basics. Lots of towels. We enjoyed taking the kids to play grounds so didn't have a chance to enjoy the nearby adult activities.

Great Lake views

We had a great stay and enjoyed the front porch. Next time we go, I will get some firewood and marshmellos for the fire pit! Convenient to nice wineries and family also staying on Keuka.

Beautiful Property, Close to Everything!

The Kingfisher is located right in the middle of Keuka Lake, centrally located and close to everything we wanted to see (this was our first visit to Finger Lakes). The property is very private and has great lake views, even when the trees are full of leaves. We had a full house with 5 adults and 3 kids and had plenty of space! The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. As the pictures show, the kitchen is small (and no dishwasher), so we opted for easy meals which was perfect for vacation! There were lots of pots and skillets, plates, glasses, and silverware. If you're planning to bake or roast anything, you will want to bring a casserole dish or similar. The front porch with lake views is amazing. There are plenty of seats (more than shown in the pictures) and we spent much of our time there! We had a minor issue, which was handled quickly by Kate. She's a wonderful, very responsive host. We highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Kate Cronin

I grew up in Dundee and continue to visit the Finger Lakes region every summer. My family has deep roots in the area and I think the area has so much to offer. After living in Vermont, Washington DC, Providence, and Portugal, I now live in Chicago with my partner and our rescue dog Scout. We love to travel for skiing, wine-tasting, and visiting friends and family. Some of our hobbies include cycling / triathlon, birdwatching, live music, and indulging in good food and libations.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house in November 2017 as a rental property but also plan to enjoy it with our family and friends. The house was previously named Keuka View Cottage and was rented successfully for several years. We love the large porch for gathering with family and friends and the calming views of Keuka Lake. The east side of Keuka Lake is well-known for its beautiful sunsets and there is no better place to catch a "sundowner" than The Kingfisher. The house has a lot of charm and is perfect for a small family / group or 2-3 couples traveling with or without small children.

What makes this property unique

The porch is what made us fall in love with this home. The views of the lake are spectacular and can be enjoyed from the front and side porch as well as most interior rooms. The property is on 6 secluded acres which creates a truly secluded setting. The living area is also cozy and relaxing.

The location is centrally located for the taking in all the Finger Lakes region has to offer. You're close to the Keuka and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, public swimming areas, marinas to rent boats or kayaks, hiking trails, the quaint villages of Penn Yan, Hammondsport, Dundee and Watkins Glen, the Windmill Farm & Craft Market, Watkins Glen Speedway, Corning Glass, The Smith Opera House in Geneva, The Farm Sanctuary, and fantastic local eateries including The Olney Place Market & Deli, The Switzerland Inn, Pleasant Valley Inn, Union Block Bistro, The Seneca Lodge, Tabora Farm & Winery, FLX Weinery, and much more.

The Olney Place Market & Deli is less than 2 miles away and offers everything under the sun including warm sticky buns, coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the AM, freshly made sandwiches for lunch, craft beer to-go, snacks and other provisions, and a vibrant taproom with top-notch craft beers and ciders. Go have a bite and beer overlooking Keuka Lake and mix with other visitors and locals.

The area is a haven for bicyclists, runners and triathletes. You will find many scenic country roads and we're happy to make recommendations. For the hard-core cyclists or runners you will find some very, very steepest hills just 2-3 miles from the house. Or just take it easy and take a mellow ride....It's vacation after all. ;-)
