Birch Cottage is a beautiful lakefront home on Keuka Lake, perfect for families or groups seeking a peaceful and scenic getaway. This four-bedroom, three-bathroom retreat offers 70 feet of natural lake frontage, multiple decks, and a dog-friendly environment, making it ideal for creating lasting memories with loved ones.

Outdoors, three decks offer ample space for relaxing, dining, or enjoying the stunning lake views. Spend your days swimming, fishing, or sunbathing on the dock, or gather around the fire pit in the evenings. A seasonal dock and boat lift are available, and the property features a dogwatch fence for pets to safely enjoy the yard.

Located just minutes from Penn Yan, Birch Cottage offers easy access to local restaurants, shops, and attractions, as well as nearby boat launches for exploring Keuka Lake. Whether you're relaxing by the water, enjoying outdoor activities, or exploring the Finger Lakes Wine Trail, Birch Cottage provides the perfect setting for a memorable lakeside vacation.

July 2018 Stay

The house was very nice and in a great location, one of the few places without people right on top of you on the sides. Not having central air isn’t a major issue but no window units in the bedroom definitely makes sleeping a little annoying as there was no breeze and the floor fans just are moving humid air. And if you have kids you know if they aren’t comfortable no one is sleeping. All of the beds were firm so if that isn’t your preference you are out of luck.
