About the host

Hosted by Kate Cronin

Host profile image
I grew up in Dundee and continue to visit the Finger Lakes region every summer. My family has deep roots in the area and I think the area has so much to offer. After living in Vermont, Washington DC, Providence, and Portugal, I now live in Chicago with my partner and our rescue dog Scout. We love to travel for skiing, wine-tasting, and visiting friends and family. Some of our hobbies include cycling / triathlon, birdwatching, live music, and indulging in good food and libations.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house in November 2017 as a rental property but also plan to enjoy it with our family and friends. The house was previously named Keuka View Cottage and was rented successfully for several years. We love the large porch for gathering with family and friends and the calming views of Keuka Lake. The east side of Keuka Lake is well-known for its beautiful sunsets and there is no better place to catch a "sundowner" than The Kingfisher. The house has a lot of charm and is perfect for a small family / group or 2-3 couples traveling with or without small children.

What makes this property unique

The porch is what made us fall in love with this home. The views of the lake are spectacular and can be enjoyed from the front and side porch as well as most interior rooms. The property is on 6 secluded acres which creates a truly secluded setting. The living area is also cozy and relaxing.

The location is centrally located for the taking in all the Finger Lakes region has to offer. You're close to the Keuka and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, public swimming areas, marinas to rent boats or kayaks, hiking trails, the quaint villages of Penn Yan, Hammondsport, Dundee and Watkins Glen, the Windmill Farm & Craft Market, Watkins Glen Speedway, Corning Glass, The Smith Opera House in Geneva, The Farm Sanctuary, and fantastic local eateries including The Olney Place Market & Deli, The Switzerland Inn, Pleasant Valley Inn, Union Block Bistro, The Seneca Lodge, Tabora Farm & Winery, FLX Weinery, and much more.

The Olney Place Market & Deli is less than 2 miles away and offers everything under the sun including warm sticky buns, coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the AM, freshly made sandwiches for lunch, craft beer to-go, snacks and other provisions, and a vibrant taproom with top-notch craft beers and ciders. Go have a bite and beer overlooking Keuka Lake and mix with other visitors and locals.

The area is a haven for bicyclists, runners and triathletes. You will find many scenic country roads and we're happy to make recommendations. For the hard-core cyclists or runners you will find some very, very steepest hills just 2-3 miles from the house. Or just take it easy and take a mellow ride....It's vacation after all. ;-)
