Together

The house was wonderful- spacious and very comfortable with gorgeous views. It had everything that we needed and was conveniently located to a variety of restaurants, town, and things to do.Was not pleased that everything was handled through vacasa(?) which took away from the personal touch aspect.Response to request was generic and checking out, I didn’t even realize that I was supposed to let them know (email read when I got home) til I was home - 6 hours later - so they’re cleaning team could get in…Home was fantastic. Other stuff was confusing

a beautiful, spacious lake stay

This house was very spacious and comfortable. The furnishings were stylish and comfy, beautiful view of the lake and landscaped property, very close to Penn Yan for shopping, plenty of parking, great swimming in the lake, eating on the deck and toasting marshmallows by the firepit. Highly recommend!

House was perfect for our long weekend of wine tastings, relaxing in the hot tub and dinner cooked by a private chef. The view of keuka lake was gorgeous despite the rainy weather.

Beautiful Vacasa on Keuka

A beautiful home that felt like home. All the amenities we could ask for including a hot tub. Beautiful sunsets. Whether inside at the dining room table or out on the patio dining room table the view was spectacular. The washer and dryer was a big plus for us since there were five of us there for a week. Their Help Assistance Center was wonderful. Will definitely rent again and tell family and friends to check out Vacasa.

Keuka lake house

Overall great time! We will be back for sure! Loved swimming and fishing off the dock(needed a few minor repairs), basement was a hit for the kids. Back deck was a favorite hang out, especially at night and early morning lake views. Fishing was good beautiful views of lake. Nice fire pit down at the lake shore.

Great house

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house had everything you needed plus more. The lake access was one of the best we've come across in the fingers lakes and the kayak was fun to use as well. The downstairs bar/game room was fun for the kids and kept them entertained. We also enjoyed the proximity to Penn Yan. We will definitely be coming back here! The wifi isn't great which is spectacular for vacation and keeping people off their phones but difficult if anyone is trying to work remotely during a vacation.

Our family loved staying at this property. The views were gorgeous. Lots of things to do close by to keep everyone happy. House was just as pictured, but better in person. We would love to stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Everything and more!

We had a wonderful stay with three generations. One floor living for grandma and room for everyone to spread out. The lake view is amazing and the fire pit was great sitting on the shoreline. The house had so many amenities. No detail left untouched! We will be visiting again!

Beautiful home with many amenities

House offers a spacious kitchen, large dining room table and two common areas. The upstairs sitting area has a great view of the lake. The downstairs area is a great hangout with a TV, full wet bar and huge bar. Extra fridge downstairs and a wine fridge. Lots to do outside. Two kayaks included. A working hottub. A great view of the lake on the upper patio. An outlook area to sit and hang out. A great firepit setup (except a mud pit area). The dock is big (a little rickety at the front). Only part that was a little odd was the upstairs loft access with a door that cuts off the kitchen when open. Highly recommend this house for 10 people or less. This house says it sleeps 16 but that would not work well.

We Loved This House!

We loved staying here! The house was larger than it looked in the photos and it was very well stocked and supplied. Some highlights were the heated tile floors and adjustable beds. The house is located very close to Penn Yan and an easy drive to nearby wineries. The views of the lake from the upstairs living room, dining room and kitchen are excellent. It was an easy walk down the flagstone path to the lake. Having a second kitchen in the downstairs Rec Room was so convenient when watching TV there. Overall, we had an excellent stay and hope to return in warmer weather!

Amazing Time!

We've been coming to the Finger Lakes for 13 years. Last year, the house we normally rent was sold and we needed to find a new one. This home did not disappoint! The location was perfect, the view was incredible. We spent a great deal of time in the game room after touring wineries all day. It was perfect. The heated tile floors were a nice surprise as were the adjustable mattresses. The house was clean on arrival and stocked with all the things we needed for a weekend with friends. Instructions were easy to follow and timely. We were very pleased and would absolutely recommend a return visit!

Autumn stay on Keuka Lake

The property is roomy and offers many amenities. The location is perfect. Right on the lake and close to town. Not noisy from road travel. The issues that we experienced were: spotty internet connectivity. If you need to connect for work while on vacation this may be challenging. Also, the tv's did not connect for viewing. We worked around these issues, but they were issues. In the future if these are addressed, the property would be 5 stars in every category.
