Together

The house was wonderful- spacious and very comfortable with gorgeous views. It had everything that we needed and was conveniently located to a variety of restaurants, town, and things to do.Was not pleased that everything was handled through vacasa(?) which took away from the personal touch aspect.Response to request was generic and checking out, I didn’t even realize that I was supposed to let them know (email read when I got home) til I was home - 6 hours later - so they’re cleaning team could get in…Home was fantastic. Other stuff was confusing

This home has everything you need or want

Fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, except facial tissues. Did not except the beds to be electric and the radiant heat bathroom floors! View was excellent. Nice firepit with a cover with his super thoughtful. We could have used a tote or box to put our wood in since it rained most of the weekend. 2 chairs need to be replaced on the patio as they leaned back crooked. We would definitely be back if we stay on Keuka Lake. Perfect home and abundant amenities.

Great Location for family vacation

Overall the house was in a great location. It was close by to wineries and village amenities in Penn Yan. Parking was adequate for 4 vehicles and 5 people staying there. The house layout was not as great as we hoped. The front door slammed closed if you didn’t remember to hold it. This was not ideal for any of the three bedrooms located within 10 feet of that door. The kitchen location also had the same effect for those sleeping in those rooms. The noise did not stop us from making the best of the week though. The water views and sunsets were great and the hot tub was a nice amenity. Renters should note that additional bathroom supplies should be brought with them. Toilet paper rolls were at a minimum for 5 people for one week’s rental and laundry detergent and dryer sheets were not provided. Shower on the main level wasn’t the greatest either. The rain shower head was nice but it sat too close to the wall and made it very difficult for anyone trying to shower. Another note… this house, despite being primarily one level is not ADA compliant and did have some issues with certain areas of the house (bed height, bath vanity, tub height). for anyone who is traveling with a disability, please consider bringing a step stool or other equipment that might be helpful for them. Supplies were not found in the closets that would have assisted in these situations WiFi was also not great for anyone who was planning on working during their stay. Several times there were connection issues on the main level of the house For the price and location this was worth renting and we enjoyed it very much. It just needs some improvements and clarity for future rentals to be aware of before arrival

Beautiful home with many amenities

House offers a spacious kitchen, large dining room table and two common areas. The upstairs sitting area has a great view of the lake. The downstairs area is a great hangout with a TV, full wet bar and huge bar. Extra fridge downstairs and a wine fridge. Lots to do outside. Two kayaks included. A working hottub. A great view of the lake on the upper patio. An outlook area to sit and hang out. A great firepit setup (except a mud pit area). The dock is big (a little rickety at the front). Only part that was a little odd was the upstairs loft access with a door that cuts off the kitchen when open. Highly recommend this house for 10 people or less. This house says it sleeps 16 but that would not work well.

Beautiful Vacasa on Keuka

A beautiful home that felt like home. All the amenities we could ask for including a hot tub. Beautiful sunsets. Whether inside at the dining room table or out on the patio dining room table the view was spectacular. The washer and dryer was a big plus for us since there were five of us there for a week. Their Help Assistance Center was wonderful. Will definitely rent again and tell family and friends to check out Vacasa.

Keuka lake house

Overall great time! We will be back for sure! Loved swimming and fishing off the dock(needed a few minor repairs), basement was a hit for the kids. Back deck was a favorite hang out, especially at night and early morning lake views. Fishing was good beautiful views of lake. Nice fire pit down at the lake shore.

Great house

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house had everything you needed plus more. The lake access was one of the best we've come across in the fingers lakes and the kayak was fun to use as well. The downstairs bar/game room was fun for the kids and kept them entertained. We also enjoyed the proximity to Penn Yan. We will definitely be coming back here! The wifi isn't great which is spectacular for vacation and keeping people off their phones but difficult if anyone is trying to work remotely during a vacation.

a beautiful, spacious lake stay

This house was very spacious and comfortable. The furnishings were stylish and comfy, beautiful view of the lake and landscaped property, very close to Penn Yan for shopping, plenty of parking, great swimming in the lake, eating on the deck and toasting marshmallows by the firepit. Highly recommend!

Love the home but had some issues

This is the second time my family stayed here. We loved the home and the area the first time. It was great for keeping our boats for fishing and convenient location to the great local wineries. The house is very comfortable and has everything we look for in a stay. Unfortunately, this time we had some issues. The hot tub was not in sanitary condition, the landscaping had a large amount of weeds, there were large amount of flying insects inside the house when we arrived, and some of the outdoor furniture could be in better condition. Overall our stay was enjoyable I just felt we did not get the value we got last year for the condition of the home.

Do Not Recommend

We faced multiple problems with the property at check-in. We attempted to contact Vacasa (the property manager) and was sent to a switch board stating they would let the local property manager, who never called us back as promised for our problem. We were also told a maintaince man would be sent to the property by the switchboard but, the maintenance man called us back hours after check-in and stated he would not be coming to the property and instead would request that we get a refund for the amenity charge. We were happy with this but then the day we checked out we called again in attempt to get ahold of the property manager in reguards to our refund for the amenity charge. We were STILL unable to get ahold of the property manager but the switch board stated that they put a note on our file stating they would not give a refund for the amenity because a maintenance man was sent to the property (who never actually came). I asked the switch board if there was a number we could get ahold of the property manager, since we hadnt heard from the property manager at all in the the three days we attempted to get ahold of them, and they stated no. We ended up not having the amenities we wanted for our stay, and wasting alot of time and headache being on hold attempting to get ahold of the property manager thay we never ended up hearing back from, along with our problem not being resolved. In short, the property was not what it was promised to be and much more headache than it was worth

Amazing Time!

We've been coming to the Finger Lakes for 13 years. Last year, the house we normally rent was sold and we needed to find a new one. This home did not disappoint! The location was perfect, the view was incredible. We spent a great deal of time in the game room after touring wineries all day. It was perfect. The heated tile floors were a nice surprise as were the adjustable mattresses. The house was clean on arrival and stocked with all the things we needed for a weekend with friends. Instructions were easy to follow and timely. We were very pleased and would absolutely recommend a return visit!
