We absolutely loved our stay. The house was amazing and the water access was perfect. We have a boat and jet ski and was able to have both at the dock. Matt was a great host and very quick to respond to questions. We will be back for sure.

Great family vacation!

Westerly was perfect for our family vacation! We had family from Rochester NY and Glen Allen VA join us during our stay and there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy, inside and out! They had plenty of watersport's items for everyone and the kids had good luck fishing off the docks. Good location! Not far from Penn Yan and The Olney Place is right up the road. We would stay here again! Thanks for letting us stay in your wonderful home!

Lake idyll

As the title of this review suggests, Westerly is a special place to enjoy all the wonders of QKA and environs. Clean, comfortable, well located, with all the modern conveniences one would hope to have. This was our second stay and we were looking so forward to our week and it did not disappoint. Westerly has it all--and then some.

Already re-booked!

Westerly is a lake-lovers dream. It’s a beautiful home on an amazing property. Our group loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen is great for cooking and the provided lake activities (sailboat, windsurfer, paddle board, paddle boat and more) were an added bonus. Matt was so gracious, helpful and easy to work with. We can’t wait to return!

Amazing fall retreat

The listing does not do this place justice. The scenery is a dream. The house is perfect. There are kayaks, stand up paddle, and other water “toys” available. And call of the comforts of home you’d want. Matt is extremely responsive. Cute places nearby.

Amazing house, location and host!

We stayed at the Westerly with friends and everyone - all adults and kids - had an amazing time! The house was equipped with everything we needed and then some. The location is perfect to easily venture into town, go to local wineries and breweries, go biking and hiking, and if a boat comes with you, jump in and access the lake. The house has beautiful views and is situated in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. Matt was a great host with excellent communication and was very accommodating sharing local information and ensuring we had the best experience while at his home. Highly recommend.

Amazing Family Vacation!

Our family of 3 generations had a wonderful experience at the Westerly. The master bedroom suite was perfect for the grandparents who were able to stay on the main floor. The upstairs accommodations provided enough space for parents and children. The home was stunning and immaculate and the views from the front porch were absolutely amazing!! We enjoyed eating at nearby restaurants, visiting wineries and shopping in town. During the day the family enjoyed the water toys on the lake and the campfire in the evenings. We would definitely recommend the Westerly and would stay here again when visiting Keuka Lake! Thank you Matt for opening your home to us and for being a great host!!

No Better Spot on Keuka Lake

Beyond a 5-Star Experience. Matt's place is brand new and incredible in every sense of the word - location, amenities, cleanliness, you name it. Matt was very prompt and proactive in his communication and the entire process was simple, including all of the smart aspects of the home - like forgetting to turn off the lights when you're already in bed - just ask Alexa. She'll even pour you a glass of water. The expansive deck was perfect for an evening cocktail with friends and watching the sunset over the notorious Finger Lakes hills. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and hope to be back again next year!

Perfect house for a family getaway

Amazing location for a getaway. The house is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Matt’s house was well stocked, spacious, and had plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and 2 small kids. We loved evening dinners on the porch, and you can’t beat the views from Westerly! Beautiful property with access to small beach, paddle board, kayaks, etc. Matt was a great host and very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Hope to go back in the future!

Great vacation house on the lake

We throughly enjoyed our stay. Even with a little rain we had a great time and enjoyed all the amenities. We would only suggest shades or awnings to block the sun from 3-till sunset. It would make the place complete and save on a/c cost’s other than that worth the price!
