Sweet Sunrise

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Experience the sunrise like never before at this sweet getaway! Ideally situated on the shores of Keuka Lake, you'll be right within driving distance of the lake's titular state park, where you'll get gorgeous, glimmering views and a verdant swathe of grass where you'll be able to eat some homemade food on a picnic blanket.

Head back to your private home and enjoy the finer things in life out on the patio area with a couple of cold beers. Step back into the small but humble living area with a comfortable dark burgundy couch and a smart TV. If you and your guests get hungry, cook a delicious meal using the appliances in the quaint kitchen. Take the food outside and dine alfresco against the backdrop of the calming waves, then light up the firepit and gather around the flame in the evening. End the night by streaming your favorite movie and snacking on some popcorn. You'll be glad you booked this vacation stay!

Peaceful
We booked with the intent of simple relaxation and this place delivered. Natural foliage provided privacy so it didnt feel as if other places were on top of us. Small, cozy, simple, it was just what we were looking for

Classic 1950’s cabin charm
Loved the location and private access to the lake. Sunrises on the porch with coffee were unforgettable. 1950s charm with modern amenities, can’t beat it. Loved the original front door and rotary phone, a step back in time. Steps not a problem, just a little extra exercise. Clean and comfy. Only notes would be to replace the couch (seems well loved) and address the subfloor in the bathroom by the shower, but not deal breakers. Will stay again!

Trip to Finger Lakes
The property was as described, it is a great lake front cozy house perfect for a couples or solo trip. The one downside is the 70+ steps to get from your car to the house. Otherwise, it had everything I could’ve needed. The bathroom was a little outdated with a shower that could use some love. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away for a trip. It isn’t too far from lots of different places to spend the day.

A few too many inconveniences
Plenty of towels supplied. But too many steps to deal with, & front door was flimsy & drafty. No window treatments provided.

Little slice of paradise
This quaint little home was perfect for our three person family and felt really toddler friendly despite the stairs. We found a baby gate that made the porch a great hang out spot in between swims. Having a relatively private beach and immediate access to the lake was great and we enjoyed having the ability to use the kayak that was there. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice small cabin just a few feet off the lake
Perfect for a couple or a small family, grill worked fine, fire pit is sufficient. My wife and I loved it for a weekend getaway. If you like fires i recommend bringing your own wood, you wont want to bring a lot since there is 70 steps. Fans are provided but be aware there is no AC, we got a bit warm trying to sleep. Not a lot nearby but Penn Yan is within 10 minutes and it offers everything you would need. Overall it was very nice.

Beautiful, cute cottage right on the water. Negatives are no firewood and a million stairs.

A Perfect Stay
Stepping off the generous porch into the lake by a grand willow tree was magical. We enjoyed the dock and the kayak in particular. Everything in the cabin was clean and convenient and thoughtfully appointed. We didn’t miss having air conditioning, even in the height of summer. We hope to stay here again next year!

Cute cottage
Cozy cottage, perfect for a couple or maybe with two of young kids. Right next to the water with beautiful views of Keyuka lake. Enjoyed kayaking, grilling, and nightly fires in the fire pit. Also loved the swing and hammock. Appreciated the nicely appointed bathroom and bedroom. No AC, but the lake breeze and provided fans kept it comfortable. Wifi worked well. Would stay here again.

Great little cabin
Lots of stairs, but super close to the lake, very comfortable, all the necessities to have a great stay. The grill was ready to go and there was more than enough wood for the fire pit, also had extra blankets, towels and sheets. A+
