The well-equipped kitchen and dining area make meal prep and family gatherings effortless, while the lower-level Keuka Yacht Club Bar adds a fun, historic touch for entertaining or quiet evenings in.
Outside, a level grassy yard and natural lakefront beach provide the perfect setting for swimming, sunbathing, or playing yard games. Unwind around the fire pit at sunset, enjoy walks along the quiet lake drive, or take in the local wildlife, including seasonal birds soaring overhead.
Helvetia House is ideally located near the Switzerland Inn, The Keg and Barrel, and the charming village of Hammondsport. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby hiking, boating, and golf, while wine lovers can explore the award-winning Keuka Lake Wine Trail just minutes away.

Helvetia house was a welcome respite. The house itself was well appointed and laid out, with plenty of space inside and out for lounging, meals, and games. The paddle board and kayaks were a nice touch, and the dock was excellent. The neighbors are very nice and we had a few chats over the fence. You are literally right next to the boat launch, which is convenient if you have a boat.
It’s an easy walk to a cool taproom, a winery, and a great bar/restaurant. Otherwise you’re 10-15 mins from Penn Yan or Hammondsport, both of which were easy to get to. And you’re a short trip from Olney Place, which is a lifesaver for supplies and breakfast sandwiches.
The only downside was that the house was dirty on arrival. Dirt on the floors and dog hairs embedded in all the carpets and the couch. We spent an hour vacuuming upon arrival to get it to a level of cleanliness we had expected.
