Family Fun and Water's Edge in Keuka Lake

 Situated on the renowned East Bluff of Keuka Lake at 7545 East Bluff Drive (formerly 757), our cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bath lakeside cottage offers 1100 square feet of Keuka Lake charm with modern amenities.

Wake up to beautiful sunrises and enjoy 100 feet of walk-in beach lake frontage.  Swim, fish, take the paddle boat for a spin or simply relax in one of the comfortable Adirondack chairs on the large dock.  There is plenty of room for family and friends to play around on the large grassy, beach and patio areas.  If the sun gets to be too much, take a break under the partly covered patio.  You can also enjoy the newly added deck directly above the covered patio. 

Parents, rest safely knowing you can keep an eye on the children from the kitchen and family rooms.  The large windows in the family room offer a spectacular view of the lake and will make you feel like you are sitting on the water!  Finish off your day with a camp fire and fall asleep in one of the large bedrooms to the gentle breaking of waves right outside of your window.
