This was our second time here and it didnât disappoint! This property continues to be immaculately maintained in a perfect location for lazy days on the lake. The perfect spot to sit on the patio sipping a finger lakes wine after kayaking around the lake. Canât wait to go back!
Everything you need is there. A very nice little cottage.
We have mixed feelings about our stay. We love the location. We love how nicely the owners have outfitted the property to make it easy for the renters. The air conditioning is sufficient for the upstairs but there is nothing much to keep the bedrooms cool, other than small fans. The upstairs has eight large windows that face the lake and no blinds on them. In the morning the sun is almost unbearable. There is a rowboat and two kayaks which is a very nice feature. We love the look of the living room kitchen area. The furniture is comfortable and stylish. The appliances are very nice. The bathroom is tight, but very nice. We would like to commend the owners on making it a very nice property to rent but the morning sun issue needs addressing and a couple of ceiling fans for the bedrooms would make a big difference.
This place was amazing! From the moment we walked in it seemed as if we were living on a houseboat; the water view is breathtaking. The house is so clean and truly feels like home with everything you need at your fingertips. I felt like I was sleeping in a good friendâs guest room the whole time.
We very much enjoyed the location and everything the property brought to us to do for Lake activities.
However, on the inside, the Smart TV was a huge disappointment. It appears that the Smart TV in conjunction with the internet was impossible to use. At one point just trying to turn the smart tv off was an over two-hour thing. It just kept blacking out, freezing, and LOADING. Never ever happened.
I did Contact the owner and he told me No Cable was available. I knew that, but the remote to the TV just wasn't working. He gave me directions to factory reset the TV. None of those directions matched up with the TV and the remote. He stated I need to watch the TV from the app on my phone. I am 70 years old, I do not do that.
I found that to be very wanting, and not good enough for me or any other Renter.
The internet on my laptop worked fine but the Smart TV it wasn't. We moved on, but I figure others should be aware.

This little cottage was recently renovated and very cute. The decor was lovely. Our hosts were great to work with. I loved that everything was new and spotless! Highly recommend!!
Condo has a gorgeous view. Felt like being on a cruise ship your so close to the lake. Condo was well stocked. We cooked most of our meals there and everything we needed was there. Fun using the kayaks. I fished right iff the dock. I guess my only complaint is the steps are steep to get into the front door. We had no trouble, but I think older folks might be leary. All in all we had a great stay.
Property was as good or better than described. Owners were fantastic and made the whole process easy and painless. A true winning experience on all counts!
Loved this place. Easy to book, easy to communicate with owner, beautiful sunrise views, clean and tidy place, and the water is crystal clear by dock. Very accommodating and lovely neighborhood. Highly recommend.
My wife and I stayed for a weak. The house is exactly as we pictured, very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the area and the views of the lake were fantastic.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. Would definitely consider going back.
We had a great week! The house was beautiful and immaculate! It was decorated perfectly. The location was close to everything you could want like places to eat, shopping, wineries, breweries and more. The sunrises were spectacular! The lake water was crystal clear. We kayaked, used the fire pit, sat on the patio and watched the boats go by. What a wonderful time we had! Thank you Dan and Patty for your hospitality and a great experience on Keuka (Qka) Lake! Weâll be back!
We had such an amazing week. We were so sad it had to come to an end. Dan and Patty are the perfect hosts. Their home is fully updated, has stunning views of the lake, and an ideal location. It was just a few minutes into town to get our groceries and a short drive to farm breweries, wineries, ice cream, and hiking. This vacation was a great way to recharge and connect as a family before getting back into the routines of work and school. We would love to come back for another visit in the future!
Perfect location for a getaway with friends. Alternated between eating out and cooking in because the house is so well equipped. Watched the sun rise overctge lake every morning. Can't wait to return.
There isnât much to say that hasnât already been said. This was a perfect place for our family of 3. Our 15 year old loved it , loved the kayaking, loved sitting on the dock, loved the fire pit, loved everything. We will be recommending this place to everyone.
Overall we had a wonderful experience. The cottage was beautifully decorated. The outside patio was a great place to relax and watch the boats on the lake. We did not use the fire pit but if would have been a peaceful place to spend an evening. Patty, our host, was welcoming and quick to reply to our texts. And she went above and beyond to set up the TV so we could watch the Olympics. The bathroom was very nice. One of the 2 bedrooms lacked a closet, which meant we had to put hanging clothes in a closet on the other floor. This was an inconvenience, but a minor sacrifice given all the other pluses of staying there. Parking was adequate, but a squeeze for 2 cars.
Overall this was a great place with a great host. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a rental on Keuka Lake.
We had a fabulous stay! The property was spotless and just as advertised. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay (including great weather)! We absolutely love the location and can't wait to return!
We were so happy with this cottage. Looking out the windows from the top floor, the water view was so amazing that we felt like we were on a cruise! The owners have done an excellent job refurbing the place. Everything you need is there. In fact, we found ourselves choosing to stay at the cottage just because we enjoyed the space so much.
Usually, when I walk into a vacation rental, I spent a couple of hours cleaning. No need here. It was pristine. We all felt perfectly at home.
Lake Keuka was our speed -- family oriented, and everything you need in Penn Yan, just 8 minutes away. There are a large amount of wineries to visit, and we enjoyed the recreation (Keuka outlet trail, watkins glen gorge trail, etc).
Our dream to own a waterfront cottage on beautiful Keuka Lake, finally came true in 2014! We have already had many great times with our family! We hope you and your family will enjoy it as much as we do!
