Just five miles from the quaint town of Hammondsport, this is one of the best spots on Keuka Lake. This charming gem has created generations of memories and is ready for yours! Follow us on Instagram @rusticana_keuka!

The Homes
Rusticana consists of two buildings, an original Cottage built in the 1950s, and the Main House added in 1979.
THE MAIN HOUSE: Cute and cozy with plenty of natural light, the main house boasts spectacular views of the lake from the two huge sliding glass doors in the main room. The doors lead onto a 30-foot-long deck that overlooks the shoreline just a few feet away. Two tables, with seating for 10, plus a gas grill make for a spectacular all-day hangout spot. You will never tire of watching the sun sink over the western hillside while enjoying a glass of local wine, or watching the kids frolic in the crystal clear water. On rainy days or cool evenings, stream your favorite programs, surf the Internet, or lose yourself in a great book. Plenty of card games, board games, and puzzles are available for old fashioned fun. At night, let the soothing sound of the water lapping on the shore lull you to sleep.

THE COTTAGE: Lovingly built by the original property owner, but has many recent updates. The wood frame and wood interior cottage boasts two quaint bedrooms (the “honeymoon suite” has a small deck facing the lake), a full bath, an enclosed porch, a seating area, and a kitchenette. Grab your coffee mug from the original Hoosier cabinet and get ready to embrace the joy of a day at the lake!

Family/Friends Vacation

Amazing property and location. Tons of watercraft to enjoy with the family. You can hang out on the dock during the day and enjoy a fire at night overlooking the lake. The host was responsive and awesome to deal with. Having two house was great to split up the early risers and the people who like to sleep in. I would highly recommend and rent again.

Everything we hoped for

Mom (84yr) and daughters & niece spent 4 relaxing, fun filled days reading, playing cards, rock painting, boating and at times... laughing out of control.The porch is perfect for morning coffee, waving at passers-by, crafting and evening cocktail hour. Although the Rusticana is cozy, it never seemed cramped - there was plenty of room for the friends who stopped in for a day.It was nice to be able to walk out the door for a stroll and get different views of the lake and other cottages.Hoping for another stay next year.

Great spot on the lake, great lake frontage, close to Hammondsport

Stayed for a long weekend, overall great experience and phenomenal hosts. Property is a nice little cottage (that you don’t see a lot of anymore on Keuka). Everything was as described and very clean and ready for our stay. Overall great property, recommend to any couples, families, friend groups looking to just enjoy Keuka.

Rusticana was perfect for our friends and family fall trip! This was our second time visiting and it was just as beautiful as the first. Ann was amazing to work with, the houses were super clean, and the watercrafts got a lot of use. I would highly suggest visiting and we will likely be back again someday.

Wonderful place to stay with kids!

It was a perfect spot on the water with young kids. Our kiddos could wade in the lake with their water shoes and play in the stones on the shore. Very clean, cozy, quaint, and comfortable. Nothing fancy about it, but who needs fancy when you’re on Keuka Lake? Rusticana had everything we needed, and it was a wonderful week.

Nice homey feel. Well stocked with necessities and property owner was just a phone call away, but we didnt need to call. Everything was great. The only item not a 5* was cleanliness and thst was because in the smaller cottage the floors seemed a little dirty.

Rusticana was wonderful!

As our Framily (the Rin-We's) has grown it was nice to have the Cottage for our young adult kids to stay in. The house was stocked with everything we needed and very comfy and clean. It was a bonus not to have to got out and get wood for the fire as the wood was provided for you! We enjoyed our 13 year of vacationing in the Finger Lakes on our Columbus Day long weekend!

Perfect Location on Keuka Lake

Can ask for a better local on Keuka Lake. The two immaculately clean houses on the property are literally within feet of the shore, which in includes a great dock, firepit, and plenty of non motorized boats and floats. Parking is great and the larger home is completely renovated with all modern amenities. Owners/hosts are very communicative and there for any questions. Would definitely recommend for family gathering or friend getaways.

Perfect family spot!

This place was perfect. This has been one of our best family vacations! The location was great and the lake was beautiful. The boats and paddle boards were a lot of fun. It is such a bonus to be one the water and not have to deal with steps. The parking is convenient as well, I noticed that most places do not have ample parking. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The smaller house was cool too. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing vacation on the lake!

Our wonderful stay at Rusticana

We loved our stay at the Rusticana. It was a lovely place that was so clean and you could tell the owners have been updating every area. We loved how the lake was right there with space for the kids to play. Their highlight was fishing off the dock. My 7 year old said “ this is the best hotel we have stayed in”. We had 10 people and there was plenty of space. One family stayed in the smaller house. We had a lovely time. As I wake up a week later today I wished I was there this morning! The sunsets were great as well as the people we met on our walk. Fun fun!

Wonderful Property!

This place came with everything! Kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of cleaning and bathroom supplies, games for children, outdoor water toys for young and old, and plenty of firewood for camp fires. The camps were clean and bright. The multiple air conditioners came in handy on hot days! The multiple camps were also great when people wanted to get away for some quiet time. The smaller camp did get a little warm on the hot days when the portable unit struggled to keep up, but it did cool off at night when the sun went down. We had great weather so we spent most of our time outside. We drove around the entire lake one day visiting a couple wineries and breweries. Took a drive to Watkins Glen State Park another day, and rode bikes too. The water was warm enough to swim and take all the different boats that were provided out a bunch of times. We fed a nice family of ducks that came by each day. The camp is right in the water, so you don't have to cross the street and go down a bunch of stairs to get there. This is great for people with younger children! Overall, a great place and we look forward to returning in the future!

Beautiful Setting

Great view, right on the water, very relaxing, and worked well for a multiple family gathering. And Keuka lake is not as big nor busy as some of the other Finger Lakes – didn't feel overrun by motor boats or their noise. Only 5 miles from Hammondsport, so getting supplies isn't too difficult.

Good Location on Lake Keuka.

Nice house on the lake for a family vacation. Has a separate 2 bedroom cozy cottage that worked out great for family members to have an area for children. It is about 5 miles from Hammondsport, close to Watkins Glen and Corning Museum. My family had a wonderful time. I especially liked the lake view and going kayaking on the lake. Everything was clean and bath towels were provided.

About the host

Hosted by Evangelista Family

The owners, pictured in Italy, 2015. Elizabeth, matriarch, has spent every year of her life on the property, and the seven siblings spend as much time there as possible, as well. We hope you will love your time "at the lake" as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for going on six generations. We've hosted one wedding and more family reunions than we can count at the lake.

What makes this property unique

One of the last of true, unspoiled shorelines around the lake. Ideal location for privacy yet proximity to the quaint village of Hammondsport. This is the ideal spot for families with little ones. Plus, we have the best neighbors on the lake!
