About this property

Beautiful House, Stunning View, Dock, 120' Lakefront, Great Swimming Area

Our large B&B-like house sits on a knoll overlooking Keuka Lake with an extraordinary view, especially at sunset. We have 120 feet of lake front with a large beach with a dock, table, chairs, fire pit and an excellent swimming area.

The house is nearly 2,000 square feet. We added two bathrooms (2.5 total) as well as a laundry room. The well-equipped kitchen has been recently remodeled.

Our house sits above the lake. To get to our lakefront and beach area, you walk down the driveway, cross East Lake Rd. and then walk down a wide path to the lake. East Lake Rd. is an access road, 1.5 miles long. It's a beautiful walking or biking road, with little traffic.

The front of the house is a covered porch with Adirondack chairs and a teak dining table. There is also a covered flagstone patio off the driveway.

There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, including a 225-square-foot main bedroom. All three bedrooms have lake views as well as air conditioners. There are queen mattresses in two bedrooms. The third bedroom has a queen and two twin beds. We have two roll-away beds and a full-size, memory foam floor mattress. The den downstairs can be closed off and has a full-size sofa bed. There is a new half bath on the first floor.

We offer great offseason rates for our 4-season home. We are near numerous wineries, most of which stay open on weekends through the winter. In the spring you can often hear the sound of the creek flowing at the edge of our property. In the fall, the color around the lake is spectacular into early November. In the winter, our house has central heat and a gas-burning fireplace in the den. The view out our new picture windows is fabulous. We are less than an hour from Bristol Mountain Ski Area.

From our covered porch you can enjoy the ever-changing light off the lake. You can walk or bike the access road in front of our house, perhaps hiking up one of canyons into the hills above the lake, to some extraordinary waterfalls. You can walk or bike the trail that connects Keuka and Seneca Lakes. Or fish -- the area near our house is known as one of the best bass fishing areas in the Finger Lakes.

Wonderful vacation!
We had a wonderful vacation! Spent many hours fishing from the dock and swimming in the lake! Eben had a campfire at the lake and made smores and hot dogs over the fire. Made all our meals in the well equiped kitchen ( bring along a few microwave safe plates for the microwave), played games in the den in the evening, and slept well in the comfy beds! Our granddaughter enjoyed the swing set! Was sad to leave and already planning our return trip!

Ideal Stay on Keuka Lake
Very nice dog-friendly home with a large porch overlooking the lake. The owner even put up the dog gates on the porch for us. The well-equipped house had a cozy feel to it and we felt right at home. Great yard with lovely gardens. Nice touches throughout with notes from the owner about the history of the area. We are already planning our next stay here!

Week added to Eclipse Viewing
Eclipse viewing was a bust (clouds); but the stay at this house made up for it. Great porch for lake watching and on cold days the big glass windows still made great viewing of the lake. House was just as advertised, well furnished. Owner was responsive to questions. A charming place.

Gorgeous view
Excellent communication with Tim. Description of property/photos clearly describes the rental property. We did have stink bugs and a lot of lady bugs, which is odd to me in 20 degree February, but Tim did offer to send over the cleaning staff to help get rid of them. We did fine with the little bugs, but just mentioning…. In case this is an issue? Seems to be a normal occurrence for the area. As far as cleanliness, the place was spotless. Mattresses have memory foam- and usually I don’t like that, but I felt the beds were comfortable. Only one tv which can be tough depending on your group - I had a teen and an 8 year old… and a dad that all liked the tv for different reasons, so we needed to compromise lol. I’m sure that’s in the listing description and I probably skimmed over it too quick. Because we came in the winter, we did use the tv. The location itself is amazing. The views are amazing. We brought our puppy, which was great. I appreciate you opening your home up to us!

Nice Stay With Our 2 Dogs
We lucked out with amazing 70+ degree weather in October! Of course, the East side location is unbeatable - the perfect view! The front porch faces the lake and has plenty of seating with a good sized dining table. And the owner is DOG FRIENDLY. We have stayed at this cottage a few times over the years. Each time we've thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Tim, the owner, is very responsive to questions and provides thorough information about the property and the area. We had a relaxing, restful stay with our 2 pups.

Amazing Views, Great Amenities, Awesome Stay!
We had an amazing long weekend at this property. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. The view from the front porch was stunning and the water front beach was amazing as well. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest but everything else about our stay was wonderful. Very close to wineries, breweries and distilleries. We had a fantastic stay.

A perfect family lake getaway
Our family (age 5-92) stayed 2 nights while attending a family wedding at a local vineyard. The area is beautiful. The house is fantastic. It is well kept and maintained. Almost everything you could ever need was there in addition to all of the essentials. The house was spotless. The kitchen had everything necessary for preparation of all of our meals. We would highly recommend this house. Also- Tim is a great communicator and extremely accommodating.

Best beach ever
This house is great. The beach area and fire pit are like having a private campsite right on the lake. Fishing was superb and we brought in 6 different species (catch and release) mostly right off the dock or general beach area. Thanks for a great place

Great Family gathering
This well maintained property was the perfect summer gathering spot for our family. The large porch with outdoor dining accommodated 8 adults and 1 school aged child well. Three bathrooms was also an added plus. Given the size of our group, the well stocked kitchen and new appliances were particularly appreciated. There was plenty of lawn space for outdoor play and the beach area was semi-private. All in all, a wonderful stay. We hope to return.

Beautiful lake view/s from rooms and front porch. Great location close to just about anything you may want. Stocked with items that you would have in your own house. Easy access to beach ( no stairs) which was perfect for our grandson and senior Labrador. House shows its age and no central A/C BUT did not stop us from having a grand old time.

Everything everywhere!
I stayed here with my sister for a short week before Memorial Day weekend, and we had to start writing down the things we liked so I wouldn't forget when it came time to write the review. What a wonderful house, right off the bat! Wide pine floors, huge kitchen, more veranda than you'll know what to do with with adirondak chairs lining up. Now comes the free association: Fresh lilacs in vases on kitchen table and deck table, super soft, homey sheets, robin's nests right next to the veranda, beautiful, fresh bathrooms, all the pillows and blankets you want and PLENTY of towels and facecloths. Special touches everywhere, lots of quiet reading spaces, and dimmers keep the mood just right. Speaking of mood, a fire at lake level during sunset cannot be missed. My silly favorite----power strips everywhere. Very electronic friendly. Wifi is reliable. Definitely going back.

Keuka Lake House
We have stayed on Seneca Lake and loved the environment there. Keuka Lake is a bit smaller but the town is friendly and the views were beautiful. This house was in the perfect area to visit the wineries and come back to relax around the fire pit at night. They are dog friendly and had plenty of space for my city dogs to roam. Overall an enjoyable experience for us all!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Saasta

Host profile image
One thing we've learned from decades of renting and now owning vacation rental houses is that perhaps the most important factor is whether the owner uses the house regularly. We do. We love the house and the area. We spend a lot of time at the house during the offseason, working on it and enjoying it. It's also a great place to write, which is part of my job.
When owners use a house for more than a week in the summer, they make sure the kitchen is well equipped. They make sure everything works and is comfortable. You don't want your sister-in-law complaining about the beds!
They also add to the house over time, as we have done even after the initial renovation. We love the land and we've spent tons of time getting it as beautiful as it is. There's more to do but it's been gratifying to see it come back to life over time.

Why they chose this property

We were introduced to Keuka Lake 20 years ago by friends in Rochester. We kept coming back. We bought this house with our friends because it had spectacular potential. Restoring this house -- built as early as the 1840s -- has been a ton of work, but worth it.

What makes this property unique

The sunset view. The secluded pebble beach. The house. The covered porch. Biking/walking along East Lake Rd. The area. The view.
