My husband and I used the South Cottage during our wedding weekend. It was the perfect accommodation for what we needed. Kim and Walter were great hosts and made our trip even more special. We wish we could have stayed longer!
We were celebrating a family wedding. Great location! Comfortable vacation cottageâŠ.just a few steps to the lake. Kayaks and canoe right by the water. Relax and enjoy!!
This cottage is clean, comfy and gorgeous! Two bathrooms, 6 beds, 3 air con units, 8 ceiling fans. A giant covered porch with a lake view with see through sun shades if desired. A screen room, 2 full size fridges, bedding and towels provided. Kitchen stocked with anything you could need. The hosts are very friendly, respond to messages quickly. Kayaks, stand up paddle boards, canoe, floaties, life vests, plenty of paddles, fire pit, gas grill, plenty of outdoor seating options. Boat dock, stairs right into the lake, waist deep. 6-8 minutes to local restaurants. We had a blast, highly recommend.
We arrived Friday evening, and lo and behold Walt was waiting for us at the property! He is super nice and took time to show us all of the ins and outs of the cottage!
Our stay was amazing! The location is certainly second to none - right on the lake. We had ample space for the four of us and commented that we could have easily had another couple along. Beds are comfy and the cottage has everything you need for the stay.
Aside from being right on the lake, you're close to restaurants and shopping in Penn Yan and all of the Keuka Lake wineries!
We will not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you so much for the hospitality and a wonderful weekend!!
Fantastic stay using both cottages for a week! The area in front of the cottages was great for us to gather each night. The location is near town, wineries and many of the local markets.

Cute cottage
The cottage was very cute and exactly what we were looking for although not having any bedroom doors came as a surprise. The house was very well furnished with everything we needed, including all the water toys we could have wanted. These folks clearly go above and beyond as hosts and we canât say enough good things about the charming home and usable property. The only downside came on the second day of the rental when we had some aunts, uncles, and cousins come over for a swim (our large family was in town for a reunion but everyone had their own cottages). The neighbors alerted the hosts, but instead of the hosts asking us about the situation, we got an angry phone call demanding that our family leave immediately. We tried to explain that it was just our family visiting us for a few hours in the afternoon and clearly nobody would be staying over. Ultimately we complied and they left, but it put a damper on the trip for us. We treated the home with the utmost care and respect, and would have loved to rent again next year but the incident left us feeling pretty uncomfortable.
It is hard to find a property with only a couple of steps inside and/or outside for less mobile, elderly people. This property was perfect for our age range of 15-87. Lovely waterfont, well equipped, great owners and good parking (hard to find the latter on Keuka). We all enjoyed our family time, and the more mobile members swam, kayaked, canoed and paddle boarded - all amenties that were included. Thanks to Tracy, Kim and Walter!
Kim and Walter were INCREDIBLE hosts! We were greeted with wine and a tour of the most adorable home. The finishing touches around the house were so up our alley and enjoyed throughout the entirety of our stay. The pictures don't do it justice. Being able to wake up each morning in a quiet spot on the front porch, overlooking the lake was amazing AND having the option to go paddle boarding or kayaking right after breakfast with my friends was icing on the cake. Also located near so many great wineries! Highly recommend staying here! Just a heads up not to bring too many cars though as parking is limited if you want to avoid blocking your view! Thanks Kim and Walter!
My daughter and I had our first visit to the Finger Lakes to celebrate her 30th birthday and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Cottages on Kueka! We stayed in the south cottage and took full advantage of the amenities: bicycles (rode the Kueka Outlet Trail), kayaks, paddle board, grill, etc. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The location is perfect: close to wineries on both Kueka and Seneca Lakes, not far from Watkins Glenn to hike the Gorge Trail, and some great restaurants too (we chose FLX Table in Geneva and the Water Street Wine Bar in Penn Yann to name a couple). Check-in and check-out were simple and Kim was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend.
We literally dropped our bags inside the house and spent the 1st 2 hours taking in the lake view with a glass of wine by the lake. Convenient location in a rustic, but maintained and unique property with nice amenities. Weâll be back ... đ
Unlike other larger finger lakes the advantage of this location was that it's a narrower lake, meaning sitting outside the patio you can see not only the lake but as we went in fall.. the fall foliage across the water too. Yes it's an older property but to me that's the charm of places like this. Only caution is that the top rooms don't have the sound privacy as the bedroom walls to the ceiling is not connected. Meaning you will have less sound privacy upstairs. I was fine, just a caution for maybe families renting this one place together.
Had a great week at the lake. Plenty of dock space for our boat and Jetski. Enjoyed the paddle boards, canoe, kayak and tubes. Kitchen had everything I needed. Second fridge very helpful! Of note, not a lot of privacy upstairs as this has a very rustic feel of a farmhouse. However, ear plugs are provided!
Entire experience with the family was great. Owners are a dream to rent from, property has every convenience & is decorated like a true cottage escape. Beyond clean, perfect waterfront access, stunning views, clean water, close to town for anything needed. Sleeping accommodations were comfortable, clean & fits a large family or small group. Rental with a cottage next-door for another family to enjoy with, what more could you ask for! Book it!
We had the best time! Beautiful setting and lots of outdoor activities. The cottage is adorable and so clean!! Kim and Walter are great hosts! Thank you so much đ
Our stay at the cottages was amazing! The hosts are so accommodating and friendly, and were available for anything we needed help with. The house is absolutely adorable and the location on the lake made it that much better. We went for a weekend getaway and it was everything we needed and more!
Kim and Walter are amazing. The property was stunning and my family has already reserved the space to come back again next year. It is perfectly appointed. It's a little private magical getaway and the only reason we left during our 10 day stay was for groceries. The kids said it was better than Disney and we have never had a better vacation - and you know when teenagers say that it's heartfelt. Highly recommend.
I rented out the South Cottage for a group of girls, and we had a great experience! The owners were very friendly and helpful, they even had a fire started in the fire pit when we came from wine tasting all day. Would definitely recommend to any to stay at this cute cottage!
This cottage was everything and more! The owners have a real knack for decorating and including everything that was needed. I would love to come back during the warmer months to use the canoe or kayak. We made good use of the covered porch and the fire pit. The scenery was beautiful too!
We were glad the owners also supplied space heaters and the fireplace helped keep it warm. This cottage is not insulated and not meant for cold weather, but it was perfect for the fall!
They only thing that may surprise you is the ceilings on the second floor is open to all rooms. Also there are no curtains for doors to the bedrooms. This may be a problem if you have little ones, but we had fun with it since we were all adults.
Overall, this is a great, fun place to stay!
I really enjoyed my stay at The Cottages on Keuka. The owners were very friendly and the property was everything you would want. Firepit, 2 docks, RIGHT on the water with level beach. Thanks again for making our stay enjoyable!
We have rented here for 14 years and married here in 2015. It is located in the middle of a strip of about 15-20 properties that are all year-round owner occupied so we are in a quiet residential area NO OTHER Lake Rentals anywhere close for your privacy. We ask that you respect the neighbors privacy as well. Thank you!
Down a private drive with 120 feet of lakefront. Beautiful sunsets, swimming & relaxation. Also, as stated above, a private area with respect to any nearby neighbors. Panoramic views of the water! 120 degree ultra-wide view of the lake!!
