Great place for families
The amount of rooms was perfect for our group of adults and kids. The basement play area was a hit, and so was the access tot he lake. House was very clean, and had lots of parking as well as rooms for everyone.

Beautiful home, great location!
House was very clean and more spacious than it appears. The finished basement was a highlight for the kids! The house has so much storage between the two kitchens and laundry room. Made the storage of food/drink for group of 12 so easy. Location is close to Penn Yan and the outdoors has a variety of great seating areas. The only downside was the steepness of the sloped yard to the lake, a challenge for our 81 year old father. Much steeper than it appears in the photos. Overall, a fabulous spot.

a beautiful, spacious lake stay
This house was very spacious and comfortable. The furnishings were stylish and comfy, beautiful view of the lake and landscaped property, very close to Penn Yan for shopping, plenty of parking, great swimming in the lake, eating on the deck and toasting marshmallows by the firepit. Highly recommend!
Super nice property that was completely setup with everything required to have a great time.
All doors could use lubricating, had to sweep down cobwebs around hot tub, both minor issues for an excellent location.

We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay with us. We apologize for the having cobwebs around the hot tub and we have forwarded this to our housekeeping team to address it. We hope to host you next time.
Our family loved staying at this property. The views were gorgeous. Lots of things to do close by to keep everyone happy. House was just as pictured, but better in person. We would love to stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Great location, just far enough out of town to avoid all the hustle, but close enough for great food. View is fantastic. Excellent parking area, especially for touring motorcycles. Cottage very tidy, comfortable and relaxing...

Gorgeous and Clean
What a great home for a getaway to Keuka! Beautiful inside, modern and spacious! Had all the essentials and was immaculate! Would definitely come back!
Our 2nd time here means we loved the place!…came a little to soon in the season cause the dock wasn’t in yet and weather just a little cool - hot tub wasn’t operational but the house itself was beautiful!

Services not as promised
The home itself is beautiful and this was the second time we rented it.
However, the most important amenity and the main reason for us booking this home was the dock, and that was not available as listed in the property description.
Brad M.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jul, 2025
Hi Brad, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry your stay fell short of expectations, particularly with the dock being out of the water and the hot tub unavailable. The owner is in the process of installing a new dock for the season and securing parts for the hot tub’s repair, which unfortunately caused delays. We truly understand your disappointment and have issued a refund to help make up for the inconvenience. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back once these updates are complete for a much-improved experience.
