About this property

Vacation Rental Property on Keuka Lake

In warm weather we can accommodate up to 14 people. Very cold weather - 10 people. 3 night minimum stay.
Summer rentals - June, July & August - are strictly WEEKLY from Saturday to Saturday.
If you are interested in staying at our property, please send a brief description of your group to John Marshall, the owner. We do not accommodate groups of people in their 20s, thank you.
There are 3 levels in this newly renovated Keuka Lake property accommodating up to 14 people in warm weather.
The main entrance is right off the upper parking area (3-4 vehicles) which is just 15 feet from the main road. This provides easy access for unloading - 2 short steps up into the upper level apartment. There is an interior staircase down to the lower apartment as well as an outdoor stairway from deck to lower parking area accommodating up to three vehicles - providing easy access to lower apartment.
The top level in the main house is air conditioned and has three private bedrooms with a queen bed in the master bedroom and (2 new cozy mattresses) on full beds in the other two newly renovated bedrooms featuring very large 4.5 foot wide side by side windows (with inset top down/bottom up honeycomb style shades-not blackout) for fantastic views right from the beds! We have a new extra large cozy couch and chairs in the great room.
Watch the sun rise across the lake from the large screened in porch which leads out to deck with with a large Weber gas grill and umbrella table that seats up to six. The main living/dining room is very large and can easily accommodate your entire group. Full bathrooms – new updated in August, 2022 tub & shower, sink on upper level, sink and new updated shower in lower level and half bathroom (no tub or shower) on the beach.
The kitchen on the top floor is fully stocked with a wide variety of cooking and serving dishes, wine glasses, crock pot, microwave, toaster, drip & Keurig coffee makers with filters supplied, a paper towel roll for starters and new, very quiet dishwasher that can do 14 place settings, One of the double sink faucets is filtered through a very high-quality filter. Main water supply is Penn Yan city water – very clean, chlorinated, etc. The kitchen on the lower floor is also fully stocked and has coffee maker. Baby gates are in place to swing closed and hook where needed.
The lower level is naturally cool and also air conditioned and has one private bedroom with a full bed. Two twin beds in the living room area also serve as couches (the kids often claim this area). Both upper and lower apartments have wifi, working fireplaces (winter only) with limited amount of firewood supplied, bathrooms with showers and new tub/shower upstairs complete kitchens, screened in porches, dining areas, and shared laundry facilities.
Around the house, many mural size and smaller photos from late 1800’s to the early 1900s lend a wonderful feeling of Keuka Lake history. Gorgeous shots of the lake also decorate the rooms.
In warm weather, the 3rd apartment, 45 steps down to the beach, is the “beachhouse” which is right down on the lawn of the very large beach, and has a private bedroom with a queen size bed and a queen size sofa bed in the outer area - also a bathroom, hot and cold running water, hotplate, microwave, coffee maker, glasses, some dishes, a new full size refrigerator in the small kitchen area and a screened in porch. The beach house is heated by two small space heaters – good for temperatures as cool as the low to mid 40s.
The beach is very large with 80 feet of shoreline and a lawn - plenty large enough for bocce or badminton (easy-erect net provided), playing catch, etc. A good sized stone campfire circle (enough firewood supplied for 3/4 campfires) is nestled near the shore and a portable Weber gas grill, picnic table, dock, comfy beach furniture, noodles for floating and a 2 person canoe with life vests & beach towels are all provided. Our dock is recently new and very sturdy. It extends out from shore 40 feet to accommodate boats - has bumpers, cleats that fold down for safety on both sides and 4 solar dock lights (photo of lawn shows previous shorter, more narrow dock). You can walk 100 yards down the lake road to East Bluff Harbor Marina and rent a boat for the day or longer. We suggest that you book your boat rentals far in advance. The Marina can also launch boats and keep your trailer for you. If you rent a boat from the marina they let you dock it at our place while you have it.
The property is on the eastern branch of Keuka Lake. Normally especially quiet on weekdays and most weekends, the beach is its own little peninsula lined with a creek on the south side, providing much privacy.
The entire place is available weekly in the peak summer season. It is available off peak season for weekends or specific date arrangements year-round. Go to "Rates and Availability" at the top to see seasonal dates and calendar showing which dates are already booked.
Ideal for weekend getaways, family reunions, retreats, graduations (2.4 miles from Keuka College). Families with children are most welcome. No pets, guests beyond 14 person limit, or wild parties are allowed. Renters must average in their 30s or older (not including children) to qualify.
Weekly guests are greeted for weekly rentals and shown around by owner or close friend. The owner always available by phone or text to answer questions. See our reviews!
This place is a piece of heaven.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by John 'Book' Marshall

Host profile image
I grew up in the area in Keuka Park, near Keuka College 2 1/2 miles from the property. The lake property has been in my family since 1967. I have run my own business as a graphic designer and musician for 35 years. My wife Rose (retired) worked at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester New York as a mental health therapist. We live in Rochester, which is about an hour and 15 minute drive to the lake house.

Why they chose this property

In 2017 the place had been in the family for 50 years. My wife and I purchased it from my parents about 20 years ago. This is our 8th year listing with VRBO. We continue to make the place even better every year. This year - the two bedrooms facing the lake have been completely renovated and have spectacular views from the beds, a new dock, new tile, bath and shower in upstairs bathroom, new mattresses and more improvements to beach house, upper parking area and gardens around the grounds. New shower in lower level apartment. Gorgeous garden facing the lake. The place gets better every year!

What makes this property unique

Fabulous lake view, very large beach - 80 feet of shoreline and huge lawn right on the shore - with lots of privacy, large fire circle, new 40’ x 5' dock equipped for 2 boats. Two great fireplaces for cozy cold weather. We love to walk 2 minutes down to the marina: East Bluff Harbor eastbluffharbor.com -and rent a pontoon or other boat for the day and cruise. Gorgeous garden facing the lake. There several restaurants where we can dock the boat for lunch or dinner, or park at the public docks and walk around the picture perfect little village of Hammondsport at the southern tip of Keuka. At the north end of that eastern branch of Y-shaped Keuka, Penn Yan is also a highly rated picturesque little town with charming shops, lots of great local restaurants and of course there are dozens of world-class wineries in the area - some are right up the road. The “Keuka Outlet Trail and Preservation Area” that runs through Penn Yan 7 miles down to Seneca Lake is fabulous for biking, hiking, snowmobile riding, fishing, cross-country skiing.

John "Book" Marshall, myself, the owner is very responsive to all guests and prospective guests and takes a personal interest in each group. I am always happy to answer specific questions about the place and the area throughout the year, and either myself or our friend Michael are there to welcome each group and show them around If they can arrive close to the designated time. Very thorough property instructions are always there. I also send very good driving directions with photos.
