Let me start by saying we’ve been coming to Keuka for 19 summers now and have rented soooo many houses all on the lake. Although this wasn’t the best or worst, it was definitely the best views! Amazing sunrises! Many typical stairs down to the house, but once you’re there, you’re there. There is one dedicated parking spot and then 2 others on the street aside it. The neighbors to the right, facing the lake, we’re very nice. But you can tell, the owners don’t come to the house very often or ever. They are attentive when you contact them, but it definitely feels like it’s on auto pilot. Which I totally get, cause I also have a rental of my own. There were a few small things broken, which I should have told them when I arrived, but thought that was just the way it was (ie blinds, door handle, one blade in window fan) But when I mentioned to the owner afterward, seemingly she had no knowledge. The one thing that bugged me, lol, was all the dead bugs in and on the outside of the windows. Especially on the lakefront deck. There were just a lot of flying bugs out there after dark, which is not there fault. But could be cleaned between rentals more thoroughly.
We did have a great time, as always, and we brought our own floats(as we usually do). Because most of theirs had holes. But lake house rentals are all about location. So being right on the lake is fantastic. They are so close to town, it was nice to just be able to run over to Tops or Indian Pines or Seneca Farms. There’s only one bathroom, so if you do have 8 people, it’s a little bit of a pain but you’ll survive. Also I’m not sure why there’s no a/c in that one small BR. I am fine at the lake w/o one, but I found it annoying, since the rest of the house seemed equipped. The living area was great with a large kitchen/dining/living room though.
Overall, I say if you chose lake over luxury, this place is great!
