About this property

You'll be charmed by our 1870s-built cottage, with interior woodwork created by local artisans. We are in our 9th season of hosting guests from around the US and Europe. Right on the water, you can enjoy panoramic views and beautiful sunsets on the spacious deck, or in one of two Florida rooms. We offer public water and sanitation, a big plus over cottages with filtered lake water and septic systems.

Nearby is the town of Penn Yan, with groceries, laundry, restaurants, and every amenity you'll need. And you're in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country, and a short drive from dozens of wineries and craft breweries, offering world class vintages and excellent food. You're also close to a marina, a beautiful lakeside public park, golf, and much more.

You're also close to the charming towns of Hammondsport and Watkins Glen, NY, both of which won "Coolest Small Towns in America" designation in travel publications.

The cottage sleeps 6 very comfortably, with one of the 3-season Florida rooms doubling as a third bedroom. We also welcome your pets. You're going to love it here!

Beautiful Cottage Right on Keuka Lake

We truly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was charming, clean, comfortable and well appointed with everything you would need. It is right on the water with great views. We enjoyed the kayaks (perfect timing, as the docks were about to be pulled in for the winter, but the marina workers held off when we told them we were there for the weekend.) The town of Pen Yan is conveniently about a minute drive away, but the cottage is away enough from town to still feel private. I highly recommend this property.

Excellent rental overall, not great swimming

Happy to see property looked better in person even than on website. Also, all was very well cleaned (a relief after a couple of past experiences with renting (not necessarily with VRBO). There were a few more steep stairs in getting to cottage (last step seemed like a longish drop) than we thought. My only big disappointment was the shallowness of the lake area extending a long way out and the muckiness of the lake bottom and more weeds than I had hoped since I like to swim.

Good location on Keuka Lake. Away from the busiest part, but close to grocery store and gas stations.

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Maslin

I grew up in Canandaigua, NY, in the heart of the the Finger Lakes region. I've loved this area since I was a boy... swimming, boating and photography. My wife and I have vacationed all around the Finger Lakes for years, and in late 2012 we were fortunate to become cottage owners. Spring, summer, or fall, the Finger Lakes region is among the most beautiful in the country.

Why they chose this property

The Chalet at Keuka is quaint and charming, comfortable and affordable. Unlike some Finger Lakes properties, The Chalet rests only a few steps from the road, and right on the water. We are very excited to be on Keuka Lake, and have remodeled the cottage for a great vacation experience. When comparing rates and amenities to other Finger Lakes properties, we think you'll find The Chalet very appealing!

What makes this property unique

Close proximity to the towns of Penn Yan, Hammondsport and Watkins Glen, with beautiful parks and glens, easy access to many of the Finger Lakes' award-winning wineries, fine dining, golf, and so much more!
