Jepsen Heritage Cottage in Keuka Lake

The Jepsen Heritage Cottage, is located off State Rt. 54A at 42
Crescent Beach Dr, at the northern
end of the West branch of Keuka Lake about 1.5 miles from Branckport
and 10 miles from Penn Yan. It
is in a quiet family community with both seasonal cottages and year-
round homes.
Guests of the cottage will enjoy an unobstructed, picturesque view of
the western branch of Keuka
Lake. This includes a view of Bluff Point and the eastern branch
which is nearly 10 miles away.
The cottage is situated on a level location from the 3 car parking
area on the north, to the
cottage, and then gently slopes to the water's edge. There are two
small steps to the north
entrance and 3 steps to the lakeside porch entrance.
The 55 - foot frontage is a fine-pebble beach which provides easy
access to shallow water. This
area is perfect for families who desire wading or swimming, or just
relaxing with a good book. The
water depth increases very gradually, from approximately 20" at the
end of the dock to 4' deep at
130 feet from shore. The buoys mark the drop off to the deeper
waters of the lake and are a
favorite spot for fishermen from around the world. Inside the buoys
is a no-wake zone, giving safe
swimming and recreation for families.
