About Kirk Vieselmeyer
Kirk and Barbara Vieselmeyer purchased Eastview Cottage in the summer of 2015. We purchased Eastview Cottage because we own the blue cottage,Lake Lawn Point, next to it and we always loved the architecture of Eastview. We purchased Lake Lawn Point in 2011 and completely renovated it as well as our guest cottage , Sin Cottage. It is called Sin Cottage because back in the late 1800s the women didn't approve of the men's smoking and drinking habits so Sin Cottage was built for them. Sin Cottage is our guest home but it usually is occupied by our family. We have 4 married sons and are thrilled to have 8 grandchildren with another one on the way. We embrace family time at our lake home and we enjoy meeting new guests each year.

Why Kirk Vieselmeyer chose Penn Yan
We purchased Eastview Cottage because we own the blue cottage next to it and we have always loved the architecture . It was part of the Lake Lawn Estate once and we wanted to keep it's history in tact. We feel that location is the key to owning a lake home. We are five minutes from Penn Yan and when you have a family and many guests there is always something that we need in town. Or after a fun day at the lake we might just order some food from town. We also are close to many wineries and breweries as well. Having a hospital near by is a big advantage too. The water is pretty shallow and usually warm. We have very friendly lake neighbors that we enjoy socializing with.
What makes this house unique
Dan and Nancy Brooks are the owners of the nearby Colonial Hotel. They clean and provide the linens for Eastview Cottage. They are always available to help you with any concerns that you may have and they are located directly across the street.

Fantastic Fishing on a Pristine Lake
The water in Keuka lake is crystal clear, the fish are very healthy, and the scenery is amazing. My buddy and I along with our families stayed at this lake house for 7 days. The two of us fished from sunrise to sunset everyday. We caught tons of large and small mouth bass as well as northern pike using stick baits, soft plastics, top water, and spinner baits. The same lures also caught jack perch, rock bass and sunfish.
All of these fish can be caught from the doc. We had a 19' bass boat that we brought to the camp. There is a public launch about a mile from the camp. It's very convenient. The doc accommodated the boat just fine. There's a marina next to the boat launch (ideal location).
We caught large mouths up to 5lbs and 2.5 lbs small mouths. If you like to eat fish, this is the lake to do it. I would recommend targeting perch one day and making a meal out of them. I cooked a variety of fish and the perch were everyone's favorite.
An overall great experience!
Wonderful house right on the lake. Amazing views, everything we needed and more. Exceptional!
We had a wonderful time at this property. There was four of us (2 couples), and the House was just right. Very clean, well stocked, above average +. The views of the lake, sunrise and sunsets from the porch, and dock were outstanding. Paddle fans on the porch and each room. The AC was nice as we hit a hot spell in September. The owners are very nice, very helpful, went the extra mile for us. We brought our own kayaks, and we could launch right in front of the house. Keuka has very clear water, very nice. We kayaked 2 days at Keuka, and 1 day at Seneca, for a total of about 15 miles. It was nice that Watkins Glen was only 35 minutes away, which gave us variety. We ate at restaurants in Penn Yan (very close) and also in Watkins Glen. Many good choices.
This house and property is amazing.
We were able to catch fish, the two fisherman each caught a 17” smallmouth bass, as well as other fish.
Again, amazingly nice, clean, well kept well stocked house.
We would like to return at some point. Thank you for allowing us to stay here. We loved it.
Where memories are made...
I can't say enough about this slice of paradise. The owners are incredibly hospitable and strive to make your time here perfect! If you are looking for a memory of a lifetime stay here...
Excellent Property
The property was outstanding and had everything we needed! It was very clean and the parking right behind the cottage was great NO STEPS!!!
Best Place to Stay!!
We recently stayed with family at Eastview Cottage and we can honestly say it was our best experience yet! We have rented many times on Keuka Lake but we enjoyed this property the most. It was nice not to have a killer set of stairs to go up and down and the landscaping on this property just added to our enjoyment. It is a great mix of old outside (the beautiful porch) and new inside with many updated ammenities. Kirk and Barb have done an amazing job at making this a comfortable place to stay. We would also like to thank Dan and Nancy at the Colonial Motel for their hospitality during our stay. We look forward to coming back again soon!
Great cottage for family and friends gatherings
Our family really enjoyed the cottage. We loved the location, the layout, the beautiful porch and the great access to Keuka lake. The cottage was clean and well maintained. It was also well stocked with amenities in the kitchen and bath. The 2 upstairs bedrooms do get a bit warm, but there are lots of windows, fans and air conditioning, if needed.
(Note: Linens and towels are not included in the rental fee but can be supplied for an extra charge.)
Map
The exterior features include natural beach and retaining wall in front of the home, a large dock to moor your boat, large covered porch for entertaining, gas grill for all your outdoor cooking, fire pit with Adirondack chairs for evening campfires, roasting s'mores or just relaxing.
Water depth is gradual so you can wade in, place a chair in the water or enjoy excellent swimming right from our beach and dock. Young children can enjoy playing on the beach or safely swimming in our shallow waters.
Enjoy a beverage tour by limousine; take a bike ride around the beautiful Amish countryside; go shopping at the Windmill Farm & Craft Market; visit Garrett's Chapel; hike or bicycle the local Keuka Outlet rail trail; hike or hunt in Letchworth Park (USA Today Readers' Choice #1 Best State Park in NY); relax on our spacious covered porch with a cup of coffee to watch the sunrise in the morning or with a glass of wine to watch the last rays of sun in the evening; toast marshmallows in the stone fire pit while you relax and unwind in the Adirondack chairs. Whatever you decide to do--once you visit, you'll return again and again to our beautiful Eastview Cottage!
