Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, lake views, fishing, and time on the water. We do want to note that, following your departure, we found several issues requiring additional attention, including damage to recently installed landscaping and freshly painted walls, as well as a missing Roku device. The Roku was ultimately returned by mail several days later after we contacted you. We chose not to charge you for the additional cleaning, repairs, or replacement of the affected items. We appreciate all feedback and ask that future guests please treat the property, landscaping, and surrounding lake environment with the same care and respect they would expect in their own home.

We had a wonderfully relaxing week at this beautiful spot on the south end of Keuka Lake! The hosts were wonderfully welcoming and we enjoyed the local wine that they left for us. We used the kayaks and were able to watch the July 4 fireworks from the dock, which was fantastic!

We recently stayed at this Keuka Lake cottage while traveling from California to visit family. There were positives, but also issues that future renters should know about.The biggest surprise was that no linens or towels were provided.* Since we flew across the country, we simply assumed basic bedding and bath towels would be included. Thankfully, after explaining this, the owner did provide sheets. A local friend also loaned us bath towels and beach towels so we could make our stay work.Prospective guests should also know there is no washer or dryer.*Access to the lake was also challenging. The only available route to the lake was through the lower-level bedrooms. The exterior stairs were closed, and a new set of stairs, still under construction, was not approved for use. Construction continued, often into the early evening. Also, the owners' adjacent boathouse was also under construction, creating more activity/noise than anticipated.Note that the cottage is currently listed for sale, which may explain why some of these issues were temporary.Overall, the owners were kind and tried to make up for some unexpected inconveniences. However, the listing should more clearly communicate the lack of linens, the absence of laundry facilities, the limited lake access and any active construction. Had we known all of this in advance, we likely would have chosen different accommodations.*This information was provided in Rooms & Beds Detail, however under "Spaces".

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found us to be kind and accommodating, and we’d like to clarify a few points for future guests. Our listing clearly states that linens and towels are not provided and that there are no laundry facilities at the cottage. This information was also reiterated by phone and text prior to arrival. When there was confusion, we purchased linens for all three beds and provided them at no additional cost as a courtesy. The existing entrance and lake access have not changed. We are currently constructing additional exterior stairs on the opposite side of the cottage. These do not affect the existing entrance or the interior of the home and were unavailable while under construction. The neighboring boathouse construction is a separate project and is not part of the cottage rental. We would also like to clarify that during the stay, a loud verbal dispute involving the guests themselves occurred at the property. A neighboring resident contacted us because of the volume and concern that a young child nearby was hearing the disturbance. We personally came to the property to address the situation and ensure there were no further concerns. We appreciate all feedback and strive to communicate the property’s amenities, limitations, and expectations clearly so every guest can enjoy a comfortable and peaceful stay.

Our recent stay at the cottage was perfect. From the moment we arrived Delia and Ed were welcoming and helpful in every way. The home was spotless, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The stunning lake views from the dock made sipping morning coffee and evening cocktail very relaxing. Loved the location and the Friday check in.

Beautiful Lakeside Stay

The hosts are wonderful people, helpful and friendly. The lakeside location is wonderful and great for jumping right in, lakeside lounging, and with a dock that was great for the boat we rented for part of our stay and fishing right off the dock. 5 minute drive to get into Hammondsport, and close to tons of wineries, breweries, distilleries, restaurants, golf, etc. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was adequately equipped, great BBQ grill outside, plenty of seating and a nice canopy area for shade. We had a great time staying here and didn't want to leave!

Spent 1 week enjoying the lake and visiting friends. We loved the cabana and outdoot space. Ed and Delia were wonderful hosts. They helped us unload/load our luggage and were always responsive by text. The house, deck and dock were immaculate.

Property was clean and very comfortable! Fabulous lake views from every window! Plenty of seating both inside and outside and great awning spot to dodge the sun for us fairer types. Delia and Ed were very helpful getting me moved in due as there are steps down from the road. Great little place to stay and very close to Hammondsport which was a favorite walking trip each morning there and back.

Cheryl it was lovely to meet you and your family thanks for the invite to Fort Myers …. I understand why you personally found the steps challenging especially if a person does not do steps on a daily but our steps are actually within code with handrails and are not steep my apologies you found them challenging, as planned we will see you in Florida and next here at the Lake.

Relaxing lakefront

Just got back from a four night stay at this lakefront home with another couple. We really couldn’t ask for a better stay. The home was clean and comfortable with plenty of room to spread out and not feel cramped. There was plenty of space on the deck as well which was right on the water. Also the location was great to visit all the wineries which were really amazing. The hosts were great they were there when we arrived and when we left. They were helpful and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for better.

Great place/Great hosts

The location of the house is perfect… short trip to downtown Hammondsport and all restaurants and local wineries. Our lodgings were squeaky clean, the house was adequately stocked and the new beds extremely comfortable to sleep in. Spent every morning sipping coffee on the deck while watching the morning fisherman in the mist on the lake. So serene and relaxing! Afternoons splashing in the lake with family, who even picked us up and dropped us off by boat, thanks to the new dock. Delia and Ed are perfect hosts; always available, yet allowed us our privacy as vacationers. This is definitely our new landing for now on when visiting lovely Hammondsport!

It's All in the View

This vacation was delightful from first to last. Delia and Ed were kind, helpful, and always available if needed. The house was comfortable and very clean. But, it was the view of the lake that drew me to this place and it never disappointed. Keuka Lake is lovely even during a thunderstorm. The single downside is the staircase from the street to the house,, which is steep and long. But it was worth every step to stay in such a perfect setting.

Keuka Lake

We had the best time on our vacation wine tasting trip to the finger lakes. I have been a couple of times now and think Keuka is my favorite. The house was perfect for us, every morning a beautiful sunrise and in the evening sitting out by the water was a perfect end to the day. Our hosts were incredible! I wound up picking up a nail in rental car and got a flat tire, instead of wasting a half a day dealing with issue they totally came to the rescue and helped get it fixed. They are the best. I hope we can make it back again. ❤️

Beautiful property, right on the lake, all the comforts of home.

We chose this property as a last minute Memorial Day weekend getaway. The host promptly responded to our request for booking with a personal call and gave us all the details. We arrived a bit late in the evening, but host was there to meet us, help us with luggage (there is a nice elevator to get things up and down from the property) and show us around. Property is very nicely appointed, clean, and warm, felt like coming home. Property is literally "on the water" meaning you walk out the back door onto a patio, and then a dock over the water. Very convenient for swimming (a bit cold in May) right off the dock and using the kayak's that are provided. Would highly recommend this for one or even two families as there is plenty of space (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) with lots of water activity on-site and plenty to do offsite (vineyards, museums, shopping).

Nice Property But Boaters Take Note

Pros 1. Keuka is very scenic and peaceful. For boaters there is minimal boat traffic and at least on this end of the lake the water is really calm most of the time. It was phenomenal for waterskiing and wakeboarding, etc. 2. The property is conveniently located like a mile away from Hammondsport which is a very nice quaint town. Nice shops, restaurants and a decent grocery store. 3. It is right on the water, really cool. 4. Plenty of space for 8 people. 5. Very clean and for the most part comfortable. 6. The deck is great for hanging out, fishing or swimming; as long as you don't have a boat. 7. The property owners are very nice. They used to allow dogs but no longer do (VRBO made that confusing for me) Because of that, they generously agreed to allow my sister's dog for an additional $75 cleaning fee. We were extemely appreciative. Cons (mainly for boaters) 1. Most of the beds are uncomfortable. I would describe them as hard/stiff. The purchase of some decent mattress toppers would go a long way to provide comfort for most sleepers. 2. Based on several photos posted on VRBO (which have been removed due to my complaint) and written correspondence I had with Delia, we were lead to believe the dock could accomodate our 23' boat. When I asked the depth of the water where "we would dock our boat" I was told 20'. Much to our surprise when I pulled up with our expensive boat, I was told the dock (which is located at the edge of the rental property, next to their private home) was off limits. It's their private brand new dock. They no longer allow renters to dock, fish nor swim off it. Our dock was the deck. We had to dock our boat, horizontal to the lake. Since our boat pretty much stretched the length of the deck, we could not fish nor swim off of it. This situation was not desireable for what we were looking for in a lake property. Overall, I would say this is a decent place to stay. We will definitely come back to Keuka Lake. The daily rental fee is very reasonable for a lake property given what we have paid over many years. As you can see there are very nice reviews of this place. However, if you have a boat this place may not meet your needs. All depends on what you are expecting to do off the deck.

We will take a survey of our previous guest and enhance our mattress conditions for our up coming session if needed.... We have used this new docking system all summer with no complains however, we are in contact with a local dock builder for the possibility of building a 8 by 40 pier for our guest to dock. After numerous text messages (over 30) and phone calls with this guess she booked her stay without informing VRBO/us about a pet. This guest came to the realization that we the owners live next door to the rental and this is when she informed us of the pet. We worked with her allowed the pet of a $75 pet fee. This guest was difficult to please to say the least however, we will not continue to take up your time with the negative aspects, except to say they cost us money during their stay. We have been in this business for 18 plus years We welcome pros and cons to improve your stay. We strive to make Keuka Lake a positive family experience and will continue to do so...please refer to our 5 Star Review for the last 18 years for your guidance.

Great indoor / outdoor space on Keuka Lake

We simply cannot say enough about our time at Fun in the Sun. We were met when we arrived and helped with our luggage, enjoyed just the right mix of privacy and accommodation from Ed & Delia, loved the dock for swimming and docking a rental boat, grilled and ate outside with family, and had comfortable inside space when we needed to get out of the sun. Plenty of room for our two teenage sons and we loved taking advantage of the kayaks. Bonus points for the elevator lift to help with the luggage and the sweet treats during the week from our awesome hosts.

Fantastic Week on Keuka Lake!!

What a wonderful week we all had! The property was spotless (which is always important but even more so during Covid!) and had everything we needed! Delia & Ed were the most gracious, kind and generous owners who thought of everything and were there to help make our week relaxing and memorable!! The location enabled us to walk to the quaint town of Hammondsport each morning (and evening) if we were craving homemade ice cream, coffee or lunch/dinner. Walking in the opposite direction we discovered a wonderful vegetable stand where it was based on the honor system - how truly awesome is that!! We were close to wineries/breweries and museums. We enjoyed the use of the 5 kayaks that were available to us and had a spot on the dock to tie up our 4 person floatie! Mother nature gifted us with weather that was spectacular and Keuka Lake is crystal clear - and so beautiful!! We had friends visits on several days and we were all grateful for this home and time on the lake!! Thank you so very, very much!!
