Thank you for providing us a 5 star review. We are so grateful for your comments and we're very happy to know your trip was memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip.
Beautiful, well-maintained, peaceful house near Keuka Lake. My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house had everything we needed – spacious living and dining rooms, entertainment room, a deck with a grill and a backyard where we played badminton and cornhole. It was a perfect base for day trips to the local points of interest, like the vineyards and Watkins Glen State Park, as well as to the start of Wineglass Marathon.Highly recommended for a larger family or a group of friends visiting the Finger Lakes.

Kathy & Peter did a wonderful job.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was nicely done. You could tell they wanted to make your stay enjoyable. The location worked well. We enjoyed watching deer from the back deck and we had some beautiful sunsets in the front. The fireplace in the living room was really nice as we had some chilly nights. It was quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for my sister's bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect place to relax and celebrate. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond. The property was very clean and decorated so beautifully. The pool was perfect after a day at the wineries. I will definitely be booking this property again!

The house was beautifully updated inside and big enough for our family of 5 adults and one teenager. The window a/c units kept us cool even when it was 95 degrees outside. Large yard with a very clean pool and lots of privacy. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed for our four night stay. Thanks Peter and Kathy!

The house was wonderful. We had zero issues with the house whatsoever. The hosts were very responsive and were easy to reach if we needed anything. Their check-in and check-out instructions were clear and easy to understand. The house was clean inside and out including the pool. Close enough to downtown Hammondsport so that you could stop down to get supplies. Overall we loved the house and we are looking forward to staying here again next year.

We were really impressed with the home and how clean and fresh things were. The kitchen was very well stocked. We felt very safe for our little ones. The gate to the downstairs was very welcomed. Along with all the games and toys for the kids to enjoy. Even though it was chilly, we braved the cold water and had fun in the pool. Beautiful area and we were all enthralled with the many deer which visited the yard. Dark skies allowed us to see so many stars and an aurora display. Thank you for a lovely time!

We are so very happy that you had a memorable trip and took advantage of so many of the available benefits that come with the house and area. Thank you for providing us an outstanding rating - greatly appreciated. Who knew that you would experience a very uncommon temp into the 45/50s in August. Still, it was terrific that everyone had a great time.
The house is lovely, super clean and had all the comforts of home. Hosts, Kathy and Peter provided information, special extras for our Eclipse visit and were prompt in replying. We had a fabulous stay. Beautiful home with a lovely view. Thanks!

Great stay! The house is equipped with everything! Extra spices and oils for cooking; shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the showers; outdoor toys; and more! Beautiful master bedroom and bath. House is located in a great location, so much to do all around. We enjoyed lounging by the pool and using the outdoor grill to cook. Beautiful sunsets at the front of the house! Bonus: deer on the property every evening! We had a great stay here and will definitely stay again! Thank You Peter and Kathy

About the host
Hosted by Peter C
We're from the New York area and enjoy exploring everything the Empire State has to offer. Whether in NYC or the Finger Lakes, Adirondacks, the Catskills, or on Long Island, we feel like we're at home. Our family cherishes spending time together and we look for opportunities to vacation as a group as often as we can.
Why they chose this property
The Hammondsport area has a special meaning to us. Coming to this area as a child to camp at nearby Watkins Glen, visit Corning Museum, take winery tours and sip grape juice, all helped form wonderful memories that we wanted to share with our children years later. When our family began searching for a home, we looked for a 4 seasons location that was centrally located to the best of what the FLX area has to offer. We've not been disappointed.
What makes this property unique
Casa del Lago truly offers the best balance of location, functionality, privacy, and recreation. You can choose from so many options. Do you want quiet, peaceful tranquility? - grab a lounge chair on the back deck. Do you want to have a family night? - head to the Family Room and play arcade games or watch your favorite movies. Do you want to enjoy an ice cream cone by the lake, rent a kayak, do some shopping or enjoy a meal at a top restaurant? - drive 4 mins into Hammondsport. Do you want to go on a lake cruise or take a challenging hike through history? - head into Watkins Glen. If sampling some of the best wines in the region are on your agenda - just pick from one of over 90 Finger Lakes wineries.
