About this property

Keuka Villa - A Charming Lakeside Cottage on the Jewel of the Finger Lakes

Now renting for spring, summer and fall 2023! The villa is in a quiet cove on the shores of Keuka Lake with wide open lake views. Wake up and open your bedroom door and it appears that you are living in a treehouse atop the lake. Begin your day watching the sun rise over the bluff and sipping coffee from your rocking chair on the upstairs sunporch. You have all day to go for a bag ride, swim, read, fish, hike, bike, and explore. As the day winds to a close have dinner lakeside at a local restaurant or fire up the grill to have your own private lake view while you dine. End the day with a fire as the sky fills with stars.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sunporch with rocking chairs, t.v. room/sitting room, an open floor plan kitchen/family room, with a dining table that seats eight, and a comfortable seating area with sofa bed that converts into a queen-size bed provides plenty of room for a romantic trip, family vacations or a gathering of friends. Free WiFi, 87 cable channels, and cell phone booster so no dropped calls!

Keuka Villa is within walking distance to the Lakeside Restaurant, Harbor Lights Marina and Keuka Yacht Club. It is conveniently located within a few miles of owner favorites Dr. Konstantin Frank's Wine Cellars, Steuben Brewing, and Stone View Shop, with fabulous vintage and new items. Don't miss the award winning wineries and breweries, antique shops, farm and craft markets, outlet mall shopping, museums, theaters, hiking and biking trails, and the endless possibilities that the beautiful Finger Lakes have to offer. We welcome you to make Keuka Villa your next and most memorable vacation destination.

Keuka Villa sits on the edge of the lake and the cottage has stairs that take guests from the road to the 2nd level. There is a set of exterior stairs that then go directly to the dock/ cottage front and an interior set of stairs that go from the sunporch to the first floor sitting room. We welcome pets and children but want of all our guests to be comfortable and safe; so please be aware of the many levels and stairs.

Beautiful Location - Disappointing Experience

Keuka Villa boasts an excellent location right by the lake, making it convenient for those looking to explore nearby wineries and distilleries. The dock provided a serene spot to enjoy coffee while taking in the lake view, and we especially enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear waters. However, our overall experience was marred by a significant issue. Upon our arrival, we were disappointed to find that the Keuka Villa had not been cleaned. After contacting Jim, he managed to arrange for a cleaning crew to come the following day. It was disheartening to spend the initial hours of our vacation cleaning the house ourselves and then relocate our belongings the next day to accommodate the cleaning crew. We reached out to Jim, requesting a partial refund for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts, we received no response to our inquiries. When we eventually managed to speak with him a week after our stay, his response left much to be desired. Based on his previous interactions with other negative reviews, it appears he has a tendency to be confrontational and condescending. For instance, when we raised our concerns, Jim questioned why we didn't simply leave if we were dissatisfied upon arrival. It's worth noting that he enforces a 60-day cancellation policy, which would have left us out of both our planned vacation and a refund had we chosen to depart early. This type of response only added to our frustration and disappointment with the overall experience.

Keuka Villa happy but short stay

My family enjoyed 3 days at the cottage but had to leave early due to an unforeseen water tank hard to find valve issue. Jim offered a full refund and was true to his word. We had a few days as a family to make memories at the cute cottage.

Keuka Villa Stay

Wonderful time at beautiful Keuka Lake. The cottage was clean and met our expectations. The owner met with us to go over the pontoon boat. He was very gracious.

Lake living

Cute cottage for getting away to the lake. The lake was beautiful and lots of quaint restaurants and shops to visit. Fishing was great from the dock; rock bass, perch, small mouth bass, and sunnies. Between fishing and swimming my kids were occupied (and off electronics) for hours!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Andrews

Why they chose this property

After several years of floating past quaint cottages, lovely lake houses and even estates we went from dreaming of owning our own small piece of QKA to purchasing the second property we toured. Its perfect lake location, charming layout, and most importantly the feeling as you look out the window- that you are sitting on the water, made it irresistible. We are pleased to be able to share a little bit of our favorite spot and hope you come to love Keuka Lake as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! The location on West Lake Road is close to wineries, breweries and the charming town of Hammondsport. Owner favorite, the Lakeside Restaurant is within walking distance; 0.1 miles down the road. For boaters, there is plenty of room to dock and several great restaurants are conveniently close via water. Fishermen: you are in a central location to any end of the lake.
