About this property
Beautiful sunrises with Crystal clear waters
Beautiful lakefront with plenty of outdoor living space and a well laid out traditional lake cottage is what Lightfoote Lagoon is all about! Lakeside comfort and charm greets you inside the cottage. Enter the dining area and immediately feel at ease. Open dining room/living room and kitchen is brightened by the natural light through the windows that span the entire front of the cottage. The living room features a gas stove for heat and ambiance, comfortable furniture, a flat screen TV and views of the lake. Off the living room are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed. The other a twin bed. And off one of the downstairs bedrooms is the stackable washer/dryer combination. Off the far end of the dining room you will enter another bedroom with a queen bed and all the amenities. Up one step off that bedroom is the front sunroom. A flight of stairs in that bedroom leads up another queen bed with a bathroom. The stairs to that room are steep and narrow be advised. Views of the lake can be seen from every window. At the lake, your time is spent outdoors, so enjoy the pavilion for picnics and BBQ's; place the deck chairs around the fire pit and watch the stars come out at night; lounge in the sun on the natural beach; take the paddleboat out for a leisurely ride; fish off the dock;We also have two kayaks for you to use. enjoy your morning coffee on the deck; or go swimming in the lake! Located on the east bluff of Keuka Lake Lightfoote Lagoon offers peace and serenity, but is just minutes from Penn Yan and the Keuka Lake Wine Trail. Note: Smoking is not allowed . The cottage is not handicap accessible. No pets are allowed.Cottage is not guaranteed allergen-free. Also I need to mention there are stairs from the driveway to the cottage. About 30 half way down there is a landing. They are not steep.

We were able to relax with our family. The house has a nice cabin feel and the beach front is large. We enjoyed the covered pavilion for a cookout with friends who stopped by.
Tina stayed in touch. We had some bad weather and she checked in on us to be sure all was well.
We would love to come back!
Charming, well appointed lakeside cottage. Stayed with another couple. Worked very well for us and Tina was extremely helpful. Totally recommend! Thank you!
Our family has been renting this cottage for the last 4 years. It has everything we need. Whatever the weather we can enjoy the beautiful views of the hills and water.Looking forward to next year. Thank You Tina
Older lake property well maintained and stocked with everything we needed for three couples. Dock to fish and kayak from, galley kitchen and great outside entertainment area with fire pit, tv and lots of comfortable seating. Heaters for chilly nights.
We have stayed at Tina,s cottage for the last 7 years. It has been perfect for us our kids and grandkids.Plenty of room both outside and in. Even when the weather is less than perfect we enjoy the outside pavilion to watch the water play cards or watch television.We will be back again next year and everyone is already looking forward to it 😀
If you are looking for a comfortable, quirky, laid back cottage then this is the one for you!
Lightfoote Lagoon is clean and well stocked. If you forgot something odds are you will be able to find it in this cottage. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need (I suggest bringing paper plates, who wants to load the dishwasher on vacation?) and linens are provided. There are flatscreen tvs in both living rooms, almost all the bedrooms, and the pavilion so remember to bring your streaming services passwords.
As for lake fun this cottage has it all - super clear water with no seaweed, a large beach, 2 kayaks, a paddle boat, a fabulous large dock with seating, and oh, the pavilion. It is exactly as described and where you will spend the majority of your time. Hands down it was our favorite spot. The fire pit was lovely, just remember to bring your own firewood.
With four comfy bedrooms and three pull-out couches, everyone has their space. Three bathrooms are a plus and the washer/dryer really comes in handy.
Tina was a fantastic host, quickly answering any questions we had.
We enjoyed our stay so much we already booked a week for next summer!
The sunrise over the lake with the fall colors just staring to pop was exactly what we were looking for. Crisp mornings on the dock with a cup of coffee. The outdoor space couldn’t be better. The house has some quirky upstate New York charm that makes it feel more cozy than upscale. We did enjoy some giggles. Tina was quick to respond to any query we had, both before and during our stay.

The best thing about our stay was the beautiful lake. We were not happy with the requirement to wash and dry all of linens before check out. Had I known I would have brought my own. Also very rustic with visitors from ants and mice. The floors are very uneven and made it somewhat uncomfortable since I have vertigo issues.
This property provided another year for family memories! Can't thank the host enough for permitting my family to stay at her wonderful home for a week. If you want a lakefront, cozy, at home environment, then this is the place to rent.
When you stay here you are not just a guest you are family. The calm waters on a private beach with beautiful views of the lake is nothing less than perfect for your stay here. The dock is a magical spot to drink your morning cup of coffee or catch a fish! My new little family loved every minute of this place. Tina is a gem who went above and beyond to make our stay just what we needed. She responded immediately when we had a quick question. This place is a great getaway spot for the whole family. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Tina :)
Outside of all the stairs( which we knew of in advance) the property was great. Outside space was absolutely perfect ( we spent all day and night using that space.
We had a great time. The layout of the house is alittle odd but def. Workable. The gas stove gave us some problems but the owner was very helpful. The outside pavilion is set up beautiful. Anybody going will definitely find a place to relax.
The house and property allowed me to have my entire family to be with me for our family vacation. The outside pavilion was so comfortable to play with my grandkids and allow us to spend quality time with everyone. The views from the house which is right next to the lake was spectacular. Coffee on the dock each morning was priceless. We are looking forward to see about future stays at this house!
The pictures in the listing and descriptions are accurate. The house is older but very clean and everything was well maintained. Appliances and beds were all in great shape: The showers had good water pressure just obviously smaller based on the age of the house. The outside area is the main star of this property. We used the grill for most of our meals and it was in great shape and worked well. Plus we noticed two extra propane tanks on hand. The lake was clear and clean with very little traffic on it. The kayaks were in great condition and were a great experience. Owner was responsive and helpful with any questions. Would stay at this home again.
We had such a relaxing time by the fire pit and the outdoor covered patio with a very nice TV. Tina was an excellent host and responded quickly if we had a question. Wonderful lake views. Definitely would do it again.
Hi, we're the Lightfoote's! We own a dairy farm in Stanley, N.Y. about 20 minutes from our cottage. We have three children A boy and two girls. We have owned our lake house since 1997 it is where our children have grown up and still is our favorite vacation spot. We hope our renters enjoy this beautiful spot as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We love this property due to the quiet lake with minimal boat traffic. It is in a convenient location near Penn Yan, N.Y. It is a quick drive into town as well as local wineries and breweries. Our property has a large dock, 200 feet of lake frontage and a covered pavilion for great outdoor living in all weather conditions! We grew up in the finger lakes and having a peaceful spot of our own is a dream come true.
What makes this property unique
Large lake frontage, no seaweed, clear waters, large seating area on the dock as well as porch and covered pavilion.
