About this property

Beautiful House and Yard, Stunning View, 120' Lakefront, Covered Front Porch

Our large B&B-like house sits on a knoll overlooking Keuka Lake with an extraordinary view, especially at sunset. We have 120 feet of lake front with a large beach with a dock, table, chairs, fire pit and an excellent swimming area.

The house is nearly 2,000 square feet. We added two bathrooms (2.5 total) as well as a laundry room. The well-equipped kitchen has been recently remodeled.

Our house sits above the lake. To get to our lakefront and beach area, you walk down the driveway, cross East Lake Rd. and then walk down a wide path to the lake. East Lake Rd. is an access road, 1.5 miles long. It's a beautiful walking or biking road, with little traffic.

The front of the house is a covered porch with Adirondack chairs and a teak dining table. There is also a covered flagstone patio off the driveway.

There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, including a 225-square-foot main bedroom with new drywall. All three bedrooms have lake views as well as air conditioners. There are queen mattresses in two bedrooms. The third bedroom has a queen and two twin beds. We have two roll-away beds and a full-size, memory foam floor mattress. The den downstairs can be closed off and has a full-size sofa bed. There is a new half bath and separate laundry room on the first floor.

We offer great offseason rates for our 4-season home. We are near numerous wineries, most of which stay open on weekends through the winter. In the spring you can often hear the sound of the creek flowing at the edge of our property. In the fall, the color around the lake is spectacular into early November. In the winter, our house has central heat and a gas-burning fireplace in the den. The view out our new picture windows is fabulous. We are less than an hour from Bristol Mountain Ski Area.

From our covered porch you can enjoy the ever-changing light off the lake. You can walk or bike the access road in front of our house, perhaps hiking up one of canyons into the hills above the lake, to some extraordinary waterfalls. You can walk or bike the trail that connects Keuka and Seneca Lakes. Or fish -- the area near our house is known as one of the best bass fishing areas in the Finger Lakes.

The front porch overlooking the lake was so relaxing. Thank you for having dog gates we could put up so we could all enjoy the porch!The dogs loved swimming every day at the lake. The kitchen was super well stocked with spices, however it could use a couple new pans that don’t stick.

Nice Stay With Our 2 Dogs

We lucked out with amazing 70+ degree weather in October! Of course, the East side location is unbeatable - the perfect view! The front porch faces the lake and has plenty of seating with a good sized dining table. And the owner is DOG FRIENDLY. We have stayed at this cottage a few times over the years. Each time we've thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Tim, the owner, is very responsive to questions and provides thorough information about the property and the area. We had a relaxing, restful stay with our 2 pups.

Great Family gathering

This well maintained property was the perfect summer gathering spot for our family. The large porch with outdoor dining accommodated 8 adults and 1 school aged child well. Three bathrooms was also an added plus. Given the size of our group, the well stocked kitchen and new appliances were particularly appreciated. There was plenty of lawn space for outdoor play and the beach area was semi-private. All in all, a wonderful stay. We hope to return.

premier lake view

Beautiful lake view/s from rooms and front porch. Great location close to just about anything you may want. Stocked with items that you would have in your own house. Easy access to beach ( no stairs) which was perfect for our grandson and senior Labrador. House shows its age and no central A/C BUT did not stop us from having a grand old time.

Comfortable place in good location but needs a lot of updating

There were 5 of us and we had a good time. The kitchen had more than enough equipment for our culinary needs. The beds were OK but a bit soft and old. The neighborhood has lots of new/improved high end houses but not this one. Generally clean but with a few too many cobwebs.

The house was pleasant though dated. Updates to towels and pillows would be helpful and since it is up for sale I suspect the next owners might do the enhancements. We enjoyed the porch especially at this time of the year.

Happiness for me and my 2 dogs!

This house was exactly what I wanted for a vacation with my 2 dogs! The front porch, with optional available gates, had a lovely view of Keuka Lake. The water access was just a small stroll down the driveway and hill, and my dogs couldn’t have been happier to be able to swim all day! The neighborhood was quiet and located close to lots of walking trails and wineries. My parents joined for part of the stay and were able to launch their boat at the state lake then dock it at the house. Keep in mind, the house is a little older, and shows signs of lots of use, but it’s charming and has everything you’d need in a vacation rental. I would absolutely stay again!!!

Wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful vacation! Spent many hours fishing from the dock and swimming in the lake! Eben had a campfire at the lake and made smores and hot dogs over the fire. Made all our meals in the well equiped kitchen ( bring along a few microwave safe plates for the microwave), played games in the den in the evening, and slept well in the comfy beds! Our granddaughter enjoyed the swing set! Was sad to leave and already planning our return trip!

Ideal Stay on Keuka Lake

Very nice dog-friendly home with a large porch overlooking the lake. The owner even put up the dog gates on the porch for us. The well-equipped house had a cozy feel to it and we felt right at home. Great yard with lovely gardens. Nice touches throughout with notes from the owner about the history of the area. We are already planning our next stay here!

Week added to Eclipse Viewing

Eclipse viewing was a bust (clouds); but the stay at this house made up for it. Great porch for lake watching and on cold days the big glass windows still made great viewing of the lake. House was just as advertised, well furnished. Owner was responsive to questions. A charming place.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Saasta

Host profile image
One thing we've learned from decades of renting and now owning vacation rental houses is that perhaps the most important factor is whether the owner uses the house regularly. We do. We love the house and the area. We spend a lot of time at the house during the offseason, working on it and enjoying it. It's also a great place to write, which is part of my job.
When owners use a house for more than a week in the summer, they make sure the kitchen is well equipped. They make sure everything works and is comfortable. You don't want your sister-in-law complaining about the beds!
They also add to the house over time, as we have done even after the initial renovation. We love the land and we've spent tons of time getting it as beautiful as it is. There's more to do but it's been gratifying to see it come back to life over time.

Why they chose this property

We were introduced to Keuka Lake 20 years ago by friends in Rochester. We kept coming back. We bought this house with our friends because it had spectacular potential. Restoring this house -- built as early as the 1840s -- has been a ton of work, but worth it.

What makes this property unique

The sunset view. The secluded pebble beach. The house. The covered porch. Biking/walking along East Lake Rd. The area. The view.
