Both cottages have well equipped comfortable living rooms. 16014 also has a hot tub! Both cottages have outdoor picnic tables - each seat 8 comfortably. 120' of Beachfront with fire pit and two docs. Cottages are located just three miles south of Branchport and a 15 minute drive from either Penn Yan or the quaint village of Hammondsport.(Voted America's Coolest Small Town) The best part is the close proximity to dozens of fantastic Finger Lakes wineries, shopping and great restaurants.

Gathering our entire family for our wedding anniversary meant finding a property that could meet the needs of 14 folks from ages 3-70. We certainly made the right choice with this place. There was plenty of comfortable space for us to spread out and enjoy. Being lakeside was essential for us as active lake lovers!! If we had it to do all over again (and we may!!), we would select the same property!! The host made us feel at home before we even arrived. Thanks for everything!!

We had a fantastic week with family at the cottages. The views from both decks were amazing! We even had a fantastic rainbow over the lake one evening. It was great to have both cottages to spread out in with our group of 9/10 people. Our teens and 20-somethings really enjoyed the hot tub(s). Linda was a great host, very responsive to any questions we had but not intrusive. We would definitely consider staying here again with a large group.

Lots of space for lots of people!

We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again. Linda was very responsive and - more importantly - very warm! Made us feel very welcome in her space. The different cottages allowed us a lot of options to both be together (the full group was 10) and get some downtime/alone time when needed. The lakefront is great - lots of space and furniture. The docks are a bit older which just makes fishing and jumping for the kids a bit tricky. But overall, a really great trip!

Keuka Lake - Two Lakefront Houses

Cooking in the house with the dishwasher was a wonderful experience. It was fully stocked with pans, bowls and utensils. There was plenty of outside seating on the decks and down by the water. Having 2 hot tubs was a luxury. We did most of the meal preparation in the house with the dishwasher. We had some hot days and the kitchen ran about 80 degrees because there is no central air conditioning in the main part of the house with the dishwasher. Both bedrooms in the house with the dishwasher had air conditioners so it was cool in the bedrooms to sleep. We had enough beds for everyone so we did not use the loft. Our group enjoyed using the canoe and the three kayaks. For our late July stay, Keuka Lake lived up to it's reputation of being the warmest of the Finger Lakes. While swimming, we noticed that the water was remarkably clear with no seaweed.

Had a wonderful time. Location was perfect. supply of kyaks etc was appreciated since we all loved being in the water. Loved the hot tubs and Sitting on the deck for morning coffee. The down side was not having central air on the main house and losing Wi-Fi throughout the Week. Linda tried her best to remedy the Wi-Fi problem. Fun Vacation

Thank you for your comments, Ellen. This issue has been fixed with a new router! This was, as it turned out a Spectrum issue, with several outages in our area. Also the fact that the tech that they sent out during your stay did not provide me with a new router that I had requested. You're right - no central air. in the main house. There is great central a/c in the guest house, however! Our unusually warm weather can be an issue for some that prefer to stay indoors, but we hope that the added fans and the fact that the bedrooms are air conditioned helped The lake is still a great place to cool down. We hope you return! Promise no internet issues!

Incredible Stay

We stayed here with our wedding party over Labor Day Weekend and loved every part of this house. It is the absolute perfect setup for a larger group with separate living areas and kitchen space so you don't feel on top of each other. We spent every night out on the beautiful porch, in the hot tub, or at the beach which is large enough for the whole family to hang around the campfire. Linda is an absolute gem and was attentive to anything the group needed throughout the stay, which wasn't much as the house is fully stocked with all the essentials and beyond. As someone who grew up on the lake with a family who has rented probably over 100 properties around the lake over generations - this place was TOP TIER and we will definitely be back!

Birthday Vacation

Great property to host extended family celebrating a milestone birthday for my dad. We enjoyed kayaking/paddle boarding/canoeing/fishing on the lake and evening campfires. It was also a nice base camp for exploring the area including vineyards, bike trail to Seneca lake, and the Corning glass museum. Plenty of space and things to entertain our multi generational group of 14.

Lakefront vacationing at it’s best!

We rented both houses for a family getaway! We loved the access the the lake which was beautifully clear! We kayaked we canoed. We rented paddle boards and shore line rentals delivered! Sitting in the hot tub with a view of the lake was so relaxing. The living area was perfect for cool mornings and very comfy. But we spent most of our time on all the decks or lakeside. The fire-pit was great in the evenings to continue the fun. We were able to watch the perseid meteor shower from the docks. The star gazing is amazing! Linda the owner was helpful and quickly available for any questions or concerns. We would so return and we recommend highly! In addition we did not ever need to leave but we enjoyed Hunt Country and Dr Frank Konstantin Wineries, the little mercantile in Branchport and the availability of bigger stores in penn Yan. (And 2 can dans in penn Yan for recycling was super quick and nice!). Thanks for a great week!

All around great house

We had an amazing time at Blacksmith Cove! We traveled with small kids (2 and 7) and a bunch of extended family. This was a perfect spot for kids and water... the wade in (stone... be sure to bring water shoes) beach was perfect for the little ones and stayed fairly shallow and protected for quite a while. The kids basically lived in the water and it was very low stress for us parents. We made good use of the boats, docks and hot tub! The decks and living room areas were super comfy and made the adults quite happy to sit and relax. The hosts were extremely responsive, helpful and flexible. This was an extremely challenging trip for us on a personal level (car troubles, illness, etc) and the house itself and the hosts' helpfulness saved the trip!

Great week at Keuka

This property was great for our week at Keuka. 2 families with adult children and their friends. The guest house was perfect for the adult kids to be in. We enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit and floating in the lake all week. The property owner was great to work with and responded immediately with any issues. It was great to have someone meet you at the house on your arrival and show you around. We are looking to book again.

Perfect Fingerlakes Getaway

We were very lucky to get a booking on short notice. From booking forward through the stay Linda and son Alec were responsive and a pleasure handling all questions. When we arrived it was like stepping into another place and time. Large property with LOTS of open areas, decks, beach, docks for relaxing (and btw social distancing) - larger than the pictures may look. The property has many trees giving it a treehouse feeling while allowing all full choice between shade and sun. Also the pictures of the main house do not do it justice - very spacious. The water was very warm this week - great for swimming and boating. If you are looking for a brand new, pristine place with new everything this may not be for you - but if you want a very classic lakeside property with warmth, character, space, water, relative seclusion, this is your place. It is a treasure and I wish I was back watching the sunrise and calm lake all day from many vantage points. We will return.

Rustic & fun

Blacksmith Cove's two houses were a great fit for our bunch of friends with kids. The water was pretty quiet - not too much boat traffic - and though it wasn't deep enough to really jump in off the dock, the shallow beach was perfect for the younger kids in our group. We loved the treehouse feel, too - very charming!

Blacksmith Cove-Great Family Vacation

This was our 25th Annual Keuka Lake Family Vacation and this was our first visit to Blacksmith Cove - it definitely did not disappoint! We were pleased to be on the West Branch as that is the area where the "elders" of us spent time when we were younger. We used all of the facilities of both cottages - the decks, the docks, the hot tub, the beach, the firepit, the hammock, the loft, the kitchens, the grills, the laundry, the canoe, the kayak - we especially enjoyed the deck on the main house because it was like a treehouse; even in the morning sun, there was enough shade that it was pleasant for morning coffee and conversation. We had a heatwave during our stay this year but the A/C in all of the bedrooms made pleasant sleeping for all. And the stairs are very gentle so that even us "elders" were in lovely, clear Keuka every day. Linda greeted us when we got there and gave us a tour extraordinaire - she is a fantastic owner and was very responsive to us any time we asked her a question.

Great location

Located on beautiful Keuka lake, clean clear water. Perfect for water sports, family gatherings and bonfires and s’mores at night. Two issues with plumbing and ants were taken care of immediately. Two drawbacks were you should only drink bottled water and low water pressure for showers. Overall great experience!
