About this property

Enjoy spectacular sunsets on the Keuka Wine Trail! Charming & pet friendly!

The Chalet at Keuka is a lake lover's dream! You'll be charmed by our cozy vintage cottage, with interior woodwork created by local artisans. Right on the water, you can enjoy panoramic views and beautiful sunsets on the spacious deck.

The cottage sleeps 6 very comfortably, with one of the 3-season Florida rooms doubling as a third bedroom. We allow two small breed dogs (up to 10 lbs), or one large breed dog.

Nearby is the town of Penn Yan, with groceries, laundry, restaurants, and every amenity you'll need. And you're in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country, and a short drive from dozens of wineries and craft breweries, offering world class vintages and delicious food. You're also close to a marina, a beautiful lakeside public park, golf, and much more.

A short drive away are the charming towns of Hammondsport and Watkins Glen, NY, both of which won "Coolest Small Towns in America" designation in travel publications.

A couple of things to note: There are stairs leading to, and inside the cottage. Also, for guests over 6' 2", a few of the doorways are low.

We look forward to hosting you!

We loved the cottage and its location.We visited several wineries we love and several new ones as well. Plus we found some new places in Penn Yan we loved-Laurentide Brewing, The Nest Egg and the Wagner Restaurant for a great breakfast.We got to enjoy the cottage porch overlooking the lake the first night before the cold weather came in. Cottage was warm and cozy.Comfy beds and luxurious towels.Everything we needed was available.Thanks for a beautiful stay.

Beautiful Cottage Right on Keuka Lake

We truly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was charming, clean, comfortable and well appointed with everything you would need. It is right on the water with great views. We enjoyed the kayaks (perfect timing, as the docks were about to be pulled in for the winter, but the marina workers held off when we told them we were there for the weekend.) The town of Pen Yan is conveniently about a minute drive away, but the cottage is away enough from town to still feel private. I highly recommend this property.

The house was absolutely adorable and well stocked for us. And the location was perfect. Right on the lake but so close to town it was less than a 5 minute drive to grocery stores and restaurants. My only minor complaint would be the uneven dock boards. We all tripped on it at one point or another but it was easy to get used to. The host was very nice and responsive. Would definitely book again.

Cute cottage on the lake with all the amenities.

Had ALL the amenities you could want, including 2 kayaks, a paddle boat, a dock for our 18ft fishing boat. Beds were comfy and the neighborhood was very quiet in mid May. Used the grill a lot. Our dog was very happy and settled in quickly. Fished off the dock at dusk and got fish, catch & release.

Magical Chalet

This beautiful chalet on the lake delivers! My family joined me as I celebrated a milestone. We gathered everyday to enjoy meals on the deck overlooking the lake. Lovely sunsets! The birds sang to us every day at dawn and dusk. I appreciate the care and comfort that has been placed on the details of this home. A true home away from home.

Great property and area.

The chalet was clean and well supplied. Also very comfortable accommodations. The bedrooms large and had all the comforts of home. Heaters available although didn’t need as gas fireplace kept place cozy. We found trails to explore and enjoyed walking our 2 small dogs. Highly recommend. Weather was iffy which meant we couldn’t enjoy the lake and kayaks but was enough to see in the area to keep us happy. Watkins Glen only 25 minutes. Back deck overlooking the lake was so nice! Highly recommend.

A great time

My husband and I, who live in Wisconsin, met our two friends, who live in Germany, at the Chalet at Keuka. We had a wonderful time. The chalet was clean, tastefully decorated, and well equipped for everything. We really enjoyed the deck and the beautiful views of the lake. We had fun exploring the area, visiting the distillery, a winery and finding good places to eat. We had one day of rain, but it didn't matter, as we found plenty to do. What a beautiful and interesting area! Thanks for sharing your condo with us. We have great memories of our stay at the Chalet at Keuka.

Excellent rental overall, not great swimming

Happy to see property looked better in person even than on website. Also, all was very well cleaned (a relief after a couple of past experiences with renting (not necessarily with VRBO). There were a few more steep stairs in getting to cottage (last step seemed like a longish drop) than we thought. My only big disappointment was the shallowness of the lake area extending a long way out and the muckiness of the lake bottom and more weeds than I had hoped since I like to swim.

Charming cottage in superb location

Our family (and dogs) stayed for several days to celebrate Father’s Day and my dad’s birthday. We had a wonderful time and we were sad to say goodbye. The cottage is well stocked with many items you will need. A few days, we cooked at the house using both the grill and kitchen. On other days, we took advantage of the brief 3 minute drive to the little town of Penn Yan and sampled some of it’s amazing bars and restaurants. Our favorite was Laurentide Brewing! Good food, great beer and entertainment. We enjoyed playing in the lake with our dogs (the puppy is an official water dog now). Everyone took the opportunity to kayak and loved watching the sunsets each night. The one drawback was the lack of a ladder or steps at the dock. It made getting in and out of the water difficult, but it was not a dealbreaker. Overall, it was a wonderful stay! We all were in agreement that it was our favorite location so far. Thanks so much for sharing your cottage with us.

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Maslin

Host profile image

I grew up in Canandaigua, NY, in the heart of the the Finger Lakes region. I've loved this area since I was a boy... swimming, boating and photography. My wife and I have vacationed all around the Finger Lakes for years, and in late 2012 we were fortunate to become cottage owners. Spring, summer, or fall, the Finger Lakes region is among the most beautiful in the country.

Why they chose this property

The Chalet at Keuka is quaint and charming, comfortable and affordable. Unlike some Finger Lakes properties, The Chalet rests only a few steps from the road, and right on the water. We are very excited to be on Keuka Lake, and have remodeled the cottage for a great vacation experience. When comparing rates and amenities to other Finger Lakes properties, we think you'll find The Chalet very appealing!

What makes this property unique

We are close to the town of Penn Yan. Hammondsport and Watkins Glen, with beautiful parks and glens, are a short drive away, and were named two of the "Coolest Small Towns in America", You'll have easy access to many of the Finger Lakes' award-winning wineries, restaurants, golf, and so much more!
