Charming and cozy lake house

This cozy cottage provided our family with the perfect spot for a fall Keuka Lake retreat. Our host was delightful and provided all we needed for a memorable stay. The broad porch and the fire pit, wood provided, were enticing features during the crisp fall days. We hope to visit again!

Perfect Lakeside Cottage

The cottage was the perfect spot for us to celebrate a birthday weekend. The property is quaint and charming without feeling cramped, and the views from the porch and dock were amazing. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Kirk was accommodating and communicative and since he lives next door, was available when we needed assistance. Can’t recommend this place enough!

A gem of a lake house!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! The house was clean, decorated cute for fall, and everything went smoothly with the trip. Great location, close to the town, and not too far from Seneca Lake/Watkins Glen. The front porch was so relaxing and fun, great place to sit and drink coffee and watch the sunrise. You can tell the owners take great care of their property.

Perfect Get Away!

The owner did a wonderful job updating this gem as he was able to maintain its original character and beauty. The property (landscape) is stunning as it adjoins the owners property creating one of if not the most beautiful properties on the lake in my opinion. Also, the owner was kind, helpful and accommodating, I just can’t say enough to express how perfect this trip was!

Place could be in a movie

This place was so charming and beautiful, instantly at peace from the moment we stepped on the dock. We loved everything about the home and location, already planning to book again next year. The owners thought of everything, there was nothing we needed-thwt even had supplies for us to make a fire outside, and a nice binder for everything we might need to know.

THE. BEST.

Location was amazing, a short lovely drive to wherever we wanted to go. Three minutes from a grocery store! Loved watching the baby ducks playing in front of the cottage as well as a sweet little muskrat that liked to swim by on his back often and I even think he waved his paw at me once as to say 'welcome to the lake!' We saw two eagles that flew 100 feet from the dock - that was epic. If we come back to upstate NY, this is where we will stay.

Perfect Place for a Girls Getaway

We spent two nights at this beautiful home and look forward to returning. Our group of 8 ladies had lots of room …tons of places to sleep and to gather to chat and laugh. We spent a few hours visiting the nearby wineries, but we looked forward to returning home to hang out on the porch (taking in the spectacular view) or play games in the dining room. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us. It was absolutely perfect for celebrating a retirement!

Girls Weekend!

There were 10 of us that came in from Friday-Sunday for a girls weekend away. The house was adorable and exactly what we needed. We want to come back in the summer to take advantage of the Lake! The views were incredible. The kitchen comes with just about everything you need and the fact there are two full baths came in handy! Kirk was great to work with. He was incredibly responsive to any questions I had leading up to the trip and was available right away when we checked in and had one more question. I highly recommend this house and Kirk!

Nice but uncomfortable

Very nice location. However Kirk had the opportunity to tell me upon check in that the house had AC issues. Apparently the house doesn’t have adequate insulation to keep the interior cool on hot days. AC couldn’t keep the temps tolerable at all. Hot outside and inside. For the per night cost I expected much better conditions for my family. Renters beware

I never said anything about AC issues other than to make sure to see if knew how to use mini splits. Must be he wasn’t sure how to operate them. First time ever had any concerns about AC. The AC has been fine and never any complaints.

About the host

Hosted by Kirk Vieselmeyer

Host profile image

Kirk and Barbara Vieselmeyer purchased Eastview Cottage in the summer of 2015. We purchased Eastview Cottage because we own the blue cottage, Lake Lawn Point, next to it and we always loved the architecture of Eastview. We purchased Lake Lawn Point in 2011 and completely renovated it as well as our guest cottage , Sin Cottage. It is called Sin Cottage because back in the late 1800s the women didn't approve of the men's smoking and drinking habits so Sin Cottage was built for them. Sin Cottage is our guest home but it usually is occupied by our family. We have 4 married sons and are thrilled to have 10 grandchildren and another one on the way ! We embrace family time at our lake home and we enjoy meeting new guests each year.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Eastview Cottage because we own the blue cottage next to it and we have always loved the architecture . It was part of the Lake Lawn Estate once and we wanted to keep it's history intact. We feel that location is the key to owning a lake home. We are five minutes from Penn Yan and when you have a family and many guests there is always something that we need in town. Or after a fun day at the lake we might just order some food from town. We also are close to many wineries and breweries as well. Having a hospital near by is a big advantage too. The water is pretty shallow and usually warm. We have very friendly lake neighbors that we enjoy socializing with.

What makes this property unique

Dan and Nancy Brooks are the owners of the nearby Colonial Hotel. They clean and provide the linens for Eastview Cottage. They are always available to help you with any concerns that you may have and they are located directly across the street.
