The Homes
Rusticana consists of two buildings, an original Cottage built in the 1950s, and the Main House added in 1979.
THE MAIN HOUSE: Cute and cozy with plenty of natural light, the main house boasts spectacular views of the lake from the two huge sliding glass doors in the main room. The doors lead onto a 30-foot-long deck that overlooks the shoreline just a few feet away. Two tables, with seating for 10, plus a gas grill make for a spectacular all-day hangout spot. You will never tire of watching the sun sink over the western hillside while enjoying a glass of local wine, or watching the kids frolic in the crystal clear water. On rainy days or cool evenings, stream your favorite programs, surf the Internet, or lose yourself in a great book. Plenty of card games, board games, and puzzles are available for old fashioned fun. At night, let the soothing sound of the water lapping on the shore lull you to sleep.

THE COTTAGE: Lovingly built by the original property owner, but has many recent updates. The wood frame and wood interior cottage boasts two quaint bedrooms (the “honeymoon suite” has a small deck facing the lake), a full bath, an enclosed porch, a seating area, and a kitchenette. Grab your coffee mug from the original Hoosier cabinet and get ready to embrace the joy of a day at the lake!

About the host

Hosted by Evangelista Family

Host profile image
The owners, pictured in Italy, 2015. Elizabeth, matriarch, has spent every year of her life on the property, and the seven siblings spend as much time there as possible, as well. We hope you will love your time "at the lake" as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for going on six generations. We've hosted one wedding and more family reunions than we can count at the lake.

What makes this property unique

One of the last of true, unspoiled shorelines around the lake. Ideal location for privacy yet proximity to the quaint village of Hammondsport. This is the ideal spot for families with little ones. Plus, we have the best neighbors on the lake!
