Looking for a true getaway? Ready to be on the Lake this summer? This little gem on Keuka’s east side is all about easy living and big lake fun! Sunshine pours through the wall of windows, keeping the inside bright and cheerful. The cottage is cute and welcoming, with cozy spaces that make it easy to relax after a day on the water. Step outside to the huge deck where morning coffee, afternoon lounging, and evening sunsets become part of your everyday routine. You’ll love the spacious lakeside patio and deck — a perfect spot to gather with friends or sneak away with a good book. The dock is included and ready to go! Plenty of parking or room for expansion across the street. Just bring your water toys and start enjoying. Simple, low-maintenance, and all about location, this property makes the perfect weekend retreat or seasonal home base. With incredible light, wide-open views, and plenty of outdoor living space, it’s everything you need to dive into Keuka Lake living.
