About this property

“QKA Retreat” on Keuka Lake

**There is no availability for summer 2026** A renters dream! Located close to the Village of Penn Yan and right in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath lake house makes for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Great for families to rent with plenty of relaxing activities close by. Located on the east lake side, you’re within walking distance to a local park, close proximity to the movie theater and bowling alley just in case a rainy day keeps you from the lake, or stay inside and enjoy the family board games. A large deck for dinners and entertaining includes two electric retractable awnings making it the perfect spot to watch the beautiful Keuka sunsets. Your own private dock to go fishing, two kayaks provided for exploring the lake and a fire pit for smores filled evenings.

Looking to get out for a bit? The Keuka Wine Trail is a must and Seneca Lake is just quick drive from the house. The Village of Penn Yan offers coffee shops, local shops, bistros, bars and breweries, etc. Lakeside Country Club is right nearby as well.

On site laundry is provided, plenty of closet space in the house along with ample parking (which is hard to come by on the lake!). Note, two full baths, one with a shower and a tub in another. The house is “all-seasons”, connected to city water with forced air heating and air conditioning.

On a personal note, this isn't our fulltime job. We are 2 working parents to 2 young kids with the hope when we retire we can be at the lake more permanently. We do utilize the house for personal use throughout the year. We attempt each year to make updates to the house to allow for a positive renter's experience. Some highlights for 2023 and 2024 include the following: extended the dock which includes an end "patio", replaced large outdoor dining table which increased capacity from 6 to 8 people, updated grill, purchase new bedding and towels, replaced indoor rug, replaced kitchen items and purchased new AC units for 2 bedrooms.

Sorry, no pets! No smoking in the house! Minimum age to rent: 30 years old. Dock and AC in all rooms is guaranteed to be in Memorial Day - Labor Day.

Our girlfriend trip was so enjoyable at QKA Retreat !The house was very clean and comfortable with plenty of space to just to just hang out on the deck or inside. Our host Laurie was very responsive to any question we had. The location was perfect for wine tasting and shopping. We would recommend staying there !

Wonderful place to stay by the lake!

My family and I stayed here at our first lake house rental, and I was very pleased with our stay. Laurie was quick to respond to questions, the rental was clean and had provided everything we needed. Comfortable beds as well. Would recommend staying at Laurie’s place!

Short Fall getaway

This property was perfect for 4 adults. Lakefront with beautiful views of Keuka (QKA) Lake. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful about the area, especially suggesting wineries. The Host, Laurie, was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely go back again.

Clean and comfortable cottage. We enjoyed the water views, especially at sunset. Bedrooms were very comfortable. The cottage was very close to town, wineries, and shopping. Of course we frequented Seneca Farms for ice cream and only a few minutes drive. We were cautious about the stairs as we are seniors, but we managed and the owner gave us the heads up on the stairs before we got there. Definitely would recommend for a lakefront stay.

Love this property - great stay!

This is a great property. Clean, comfortable beds, large deck overlooking beautiful lake, walking distance to Penn Yan and hiking trails. Bedrooms are on the main level with living area, kitchen and deck below which is nice for those who wish to sleep in a bit. Kitchen is small but has everything you need. There is a scrap book with great information about the area and lots of games and puzzles. Responsive owner. Would definitely stay again.

Best place on Keuka Lake

We love this house for our stay in the finger lakes. Laurie has everything you need for a great vacation. This was our second time here and it is just beautiful. The view is spectacular! The deck is a great place to hang out and enjoy wine and cheese while playing games with our friends. This house is spotless and We will absolutely be back.
