Keuka Lake Charmer! Gorgeous Views, Huge Front Porch & Summer Fun

Looking for the charm of a classic lake cottage with a bright, airy, modern feel? Welcome to one of Keuka Lake’s most beloved retreats.

Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, this charming bungalow was redesigned to maximize space while preserving its original character. The result is a warm and inviting lake home filled with a mix of vintage-inspired furnishings, nautical touches, and timeless cottage charm.

The Porch You’ll Never Want to Leave

The highlight of this home is the expansive front porch—an outdoor living room with breathtaking panoramic views of Keuka Lake, rolling vineyards, and surrounding hillsides. Spend your mornings with a cup of coffee, afternoons reading a book, and evenings sharing a bottle of Finger Lakes wine while watching sailboats, kayakers, cyclists, and joggers pass by.

Whether you’re here for relaxation or adventure, the setting is truly unforgettable.

Outdoor Fun for Everyone

The property features a spacious yard perfect for families, including:

* Large lawn for games and activities
* Zip line for kids
* Kayaks
* Lakefront access
* Incredible views from nearly every angle

Guests visiting for the Keuka Lake Triathlon or Crossing Keuka events couldn’t ask for a better location.

Starbucks is within walking distance, and the quiet, tree-lined road is ideal for walking, running, and biking.
