Once known as The Hart-Scott, the Keuka Cove House has been lovingly restored and refreshed, offering timeless architectural character, wrap-around porches, hardwood floors, and cozy gathering spaces — all designed for creating lasting Finger Lakes memories.

About the host
Your host
Hi, I’m Josh! I’m proud to welcome guests to the Keuka Cove House. I grew up in a small town in Andover, NY, but some of my best memories were made right here on Keuka Lake. My grandparents and uncle had a place on the West Bluff, and summers here quickly became the highlight of my childhood.
Keuka Lake has always held a special place in my heart, and I’ve often said that one day I’d love to own a home here. When the opportunity came to purchase what was once the historic Hart-Scott, I knew it was my chance to carry forward its legacy while creating something fresh for future guests.
Hosting at the Keuka Cove House is my way of sharing the peace, joy, and beauty of the lake that’s given me so much. Whether you’re visiting to unwind by the water, reconnect with loved ones, or make new memories, I’m happy to open this little piece of paradise to you.

Why they chose this property
Keuka Lake is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in the Finger Lakes — surrounded by vineyards, small-town charm, and some of the best sunsets in upstate New York. It’s a place that blends relaxation with adventure, where you can spend the morning on the water and the evening exploring local wineries or lakeside restaurants.
I chose this area because it feels like home — it’s where lifelong memories are made, where neighbors become friends, and where every season brings something special. My goal with the Keuka Cove House is to give guests the same sense of joy, peace, and belonging that Keuka Lake has always given me.
