~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This owner-built lake house is a treasure in itself with fine woodworking showcased throughout every room of the home, each of them with unobstructed lake views.

✧ THE BUILDING: Three bedrooms accommodate up to six people comfortably. The main level has a full bath with walk-in shower and washer/dryer, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, a cozy sitting room with TV, and a bedroom with a queen bed and spacious closet. In colder months, the cozy wood burning stove can be used with owner's approval. Step outside to enjoy the lake view from the wrap-around deck, complete with an Adirondack Glider loveseat and gas grill. Upstairs, the big primary bedroom has a king bed, TV, double door closet, and twin daybed. There is a dedicated home office space adjacent to another full bath, as well as a third bedroom upstairs with two twin beds and ample closet space. Also upstairs is a walk out balcony for your sunset-viewing enjoyment. With central air conditioning, our cottage is comfortable year round.

✧ THE PROPERTY: There is space for up to four cars to park in the gravel lot across from the house, just steps from the 2nd-level main entrance, so unloading luggage and groceries is a breeze. Stairs from the main-level deck take you down to the lakeshore where you will find a fire pit, owner-maintained raised flower garden, umbrella shaded picnic table for lakeside meals, and your private dock with umbrella shaded lounger chairs for enjoying the sunshine. Feel free to bring your own boat or rent one from one of the various nearby boat rental shops, and you can leave it safely tied to our dock when you're not pleasure cruising Keuka lake. Included in the rent, you will also have access to our THREE kayaks, our paddle board, and life jackets stored in the ground-level basement.

Keuka Cottage can be enjoyed in all four seasons.

☀️ Stay with us in warmer months for swimming, sunbathing, water sports and boating. Visit in the fall for stunning fall foliage and harvest events at the local wineries.

❄️ In winter and early spring, the cottage is your warm and cozy cabin retreat with views of snow covered hills across the icy lake. There's cross-country ski trails nearby, and you're just a ~50 minute drive from Bristol Mountain ski resort. Most of the wineries, breweries, and distilleries stay open year round.

During the popular summer months we have a 7-night minimum stay, check in and out only on Saturdays. Select an available Saturday in the calendar menu and you will see the following week is available. The rest of the year we have a four night minimum stay, and you can check in any day of the week.

Other things to note:

• At present, there is not a dishwasher in the kitchen, so guests must hand wash their dishes.

• Guests that plan on swimming in the lake should bring their own water shoes as the lake bed has many zebra mussels that can cut your feet.

• In 2021 we installed and tested a state of the art water filtration and UV sterilization system, so water from the tap is now safe to drink.

• Four beds in three bedrooms sleep up to six people comfortably. There is also a small twin daybed in the primary bedroom, and a sofa in the TV room.

• The north side of our boat dock has two mooring pilings so renters can securely dock their owned or rented motor boats with a 4-point tie off system.
