The Homes
Rusticana consists of two buildings, an original Cottage built in the 1950s, and the Main House added in 1979.
THE MAIN HOUSE: Cute and cozy with plenty of natural light, the main house boasts spectacular views of the lake from the two huge sliding glass doors in the main room. The doors lead onto a 30-foot-long deck that overlooks the shore just a few feet away. Two tables, with seating for 10, plus a gas grill make for a spectacular all-day hangout spot. You will never tire of watching the sun sink over the western hillside while enjoying a glass of local wine, or watching the kids frolic in the crystal clear water. On rainy days or cool evenings, enjoy cable TV, surf the Internet, or lose yourself in a great book. Plenty of card games, board games, and puzzles are available for old fashioned fun. At night, let the soothing sound of the water lapping on the shore lull you to sleep.

Fall trip

Nice homey feel. Well stocked with necessities and property owner was just a phone call away, but we didnt need to call. Everything was great. The only item not a 5* was cleanliness and thst was because in the smaller cottage the floors seemed a little dirty.

Wonderful place to stay with kids!

It was a perfect spot on the water with young kids. Our kiddos could wade in the lake with their water shoes and play in the stones on the shore. Very clean, cozy, quaint, and comfortable. Nothing fancy about it, but who needs fancy when you’re on Keuka Lake? Rusticana had everything we needed, and it was a wonderful week.

Perfect family spot!

This place was perfect. This has been one of our best family vacations! The location was great and the lake was beautiful. The boats and paddle boards were a lot of fun. It is such a bonus to be one the water and not have to deal with steps. The parking is convenient as well, I noticed that most places do not have ample parking. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The smaller house was cool too. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing vacation on the lake!

Our wonderful stay at Rusticana

We loved our stay at the Rusticana. It was a lovely place that was so clean and you could tell the owners have been updating every area. We loved how the lake was right there with space for the kids to play. Their highlight was fishing off the dock. My 7 year old said “ this is the best hotel we have stayed in”. We had 10 people and there was plenty of space. One family stayed in the smaller house. We had a lovely time. As I wake up a week later today I wished I was there this morning! The sunsets were great as well as the people we met on our walk. Fun fun!

Perfect Fall Getaway!

Rusticana was perfect for our friends and family fall trip! This was our second time visiting and it was just as beautiful as the first. Ann was amazing to work with, the houses were super clean, and the watercrafts got a lot of use. I would highly suggest visiting and we will likely be back again someday.

About the host

Hosted by Evangelista Family

The owners, pictured in Italy, 2015. Elizabeth, matriarch, has spent every year of her life on the property, and the seven siblings spend as much time there as possible, as well. We hope you will love your time "at the lake" as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for going on six generations. We've hosted one wedding and more family reunions than we can count at the lake.

What makes this property unique

One of the last of true, unspoiled shorelines around the lake. Ideal location for privacy yet proximity to the quaint village of Hammondsport. This is the ideal spot for families with little ones. Plus, we have the best neighbors on the lake!
