About this property

Keuka Lake Charmer! Perfect location for your vacation! Spring, Summer, Fall

This fixer upper will have you wanting to come back time and time again. Completely remodeled from inside and out! Looking for charm of yesteryear with a clean, light and airy feel a lake house should have? Then this is it!

This house was gutted from top to bottom, inside and out. It was redesigned and reconfigured to maximize the space without sacrificing its original charm!

Furnishings are clean, new or vintage chic. Great nautical decor throughout.

This is a lake house that would be one you would want to return year after year. This charmer has a HUGE front porch that you will never want to leave. It is a living room outdoors.

There is a unique large yard to play in, a zip line for the kids, kayaks and more. Read a book while relaxing on the porch, share a bottle of wine, or take in the gorgeous panoramic views of Keuka Lake, the rolling hills and vineyards. The way the porch sits gives you a panoramic view of the lake to watch the sail boats, kayakers, joggers, and bikers pass you by. You don't even have to be at the water to feel like you are there.

If you are participating in the Keuka Triathlon or Crossin Keuka races you couldn’t ask for a better location. All happens here.

Starbucks is a short walk away. This location allows you to take a walk, run, or bike ride safely. Take in the fireworks on the front porch along with many other traditions that happen on this end of the lake.

This home is featured on Escape Brooklyn blog as the place to stay in the FingerLakes. It has also been posted on Pinterest and other social media outlets.

The property has a very open floor plan. The first floor has a charming kitchen with a farmhouse sink, kitchen aid range, a small refrigerator, marble countertops, a single serve Keurig cup coffee maker, dining area, living room w/couch, chairs, tv above stone fireplace, large custom bathroom with walk in shower- bathroom has sliding barn door which can NOT accommodate a lock, and first floor bedroom with futon/couch/bed and tv. Enjoy your meals out on the spacious front porch. The porch is outdoor living room.

This is a special little gem! Come and enjoy Keuka in one of the only true cottage bungalows left on the lake which is nestled on a quiet residential tree lined street. Enjoy long walks and bike rides on this less traveled road.

First Floor bedroom includes a futon couch that is very comfortable (full size), tv and DVD player, ceiling fan and closet (board games and puzzles located here). Board and baton walls with shiplap and beams finish off this stylish space.

Second bedroom has a queen bed, a ceiling fan, walk in closet and laundry area. This bedroom also has a gorgeous original stonework and shiplapped walls with vaulted ceilings and beams.

Third bedroom has 3 twin beds with a twin bunk bed in loft above stairs, dresser, ceiling fan, walk in closet and shiplapped vaulted ceiling with beams.

Upstairs consists of two bedrooms, second floor laundry, and a powder room. Original cottage had an open loft upstairs. It continues to have the open loft feel which we love. It now has two bedrooms but the bedrooms have NO doors. Openings to doors can accommodate curtains for privacy if so desired which are located in the master bedroom closet. Both bedrooms have large walk in closets that serve also as changing areas with drapes for privacy. First floor bedroom/tv room also has glass pocket door separating from living room. This room serves as a casual tv room as well as extra sleeping quarters. However, the door is not privacy glass. Views from every bedroom window of the beautiful lake!

This property is located near Penn Yan for easy trips to the grocery store, wineries, golf, antique shops and local events. It is situated near Keuka College. Enjoy long walks and relaxation on this lakefront property. You will fall in love with the area, the views, the lake and this very special place. It is a magical place to make special family memories.

Important Info- Please read:

*The gas grill runs on propane. Please check propane tank upon arrival to avoid any disappointment at meal time as well as before your departure for the next guest. We try to replace tank regularly but there could be an instance it may need replacement. If so, you will need to bring to Byrne Dairy in Penn Yan approximately 10 mins away to swap out the tank. Swapping out the tank runs around $23. We ask each guest to be courteous to the next and swap out the tank if it was used, empty or close to empty. Ultimately, this will be each guests responsibility.

** Spring/Fall guests please note the dock is a temporary dock and gets installed/removed by a service which is at the mercy of Mother Nature. The dock service determines when this will be installed and removed due to weather. The dock is brought out and left on shore making the beach front unusable.

***Our dock can not accommodate 2 boats due to the L -shape. If our boat is docked there another boat can not be docked. Our boat lift (not pictured) may not accommodate your boat. In the event our boat is NOT docked there, permission is needed to bring or dock your boat. Please inquire within prior to booking.

*****Good things to bring are beach towels, water shoes and Keurig cups.

Instructions for check in will be sent to you on the day of your arrival, usually around 3-3:30pm. We do ask each guest to sign our rental agreement with booking.

Perfect !!
We loved this property! Very clean, well stocked and steps to the lake. The boys took advantage of the kayaks, and we had a fire every night. We will be back! Thank you Danielle!

Perfect Cottage
This cottage was everything and more than what we wanted. Perfectly appointed and was situated to give a feeling of seclusion. Super easy access to the lake, with kayaks provided if you choose. Yard and lakeside fire pits for s’mores or a cooler evening. Lacked nothing! We will be back.

Second stay BLISS!
Our past stay is the second time in two years we have stayed at Anchor Away. We absolutely love the home and its location. The street is not busy, no power lines to look through for a lake view, AC is perfect, front porch is devine, friendly neighbors, kayaks are awesome, the list goes on. The house is close to Penn Yan and of course, SENECA FARMS!!!

Long Weekend @ the Lake
We had a lovely stay at the Anchor Away property! It is the perfect charming little cottage with updated decor and amenities. We spent most of the weekend on the front porch overlooking the lake or out on the kayaks (there are 3 on property). Our daughter’s favorite part was the zipline that runs next to the house! The location is a quick drive into Penn Yan and we were able to check out the Keuka Arts Festival happening last weekend. We did have one question when we first arrived, and the owners were very responsive and helpful. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Memorial Day Weekend getaway
Our group of 5 friends stayed here for MDW and really enjoyed our stay! The property was clean and nicely decorated and was a great location to access all the wineries and breweries nearby. We spent time enjoying the lake access, using the Adirondack chairs in the backyard, as well as lounging on the covered patio in the mornings. Close by to Tops in case you need to pick up any groceries. Would come back again!

We are a family of six who fell in love with this lake immediately and began our search for a lake house. After looking at only a couple, the moment we drove down this absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, tree lined street with breathtaking views we knew it was the one! This home needed lots of love, reconfiguring, and an owner with a passion to bring it back to life. We knew it was ours as soon as we opened the door. We love to remodel and fix up charming homes. This was a labor of love. Our pride and joy!

Why they chose this property

After looking for the perfect second home we stumbled across this listing. Immediately got in the car drove to Keuka. When we found this road which is a hidden little treasure, the mature tree lined street with serene setting we just fell in love instantly. The property is fabulous, the bungalow sits up high overlooking the lake and it is a place you find once in a lifetime. With a porch like this and magical views...You never want to leave.

What makes this property unique

Take long walks on the safe less traveled street, situated near Penn Yan for easy shopping and dining. Located near the College and Keuka Commons which now has Starbucks which is walking distance. Great safe place for kids to play and also for adults that want to enjoy the lake and the Vineyards! With the College near by you have access to a life guarded swimming area, basketball hoops, soccer and lax fields. Special concerts all summer long along great fireworks on occasions! Kayak races, triathlons and more go by the house at certain times of year. So much fun to partake in and watch from this amazing porch. Wonderful neighborhood watch and fantastic neighbors. Campus security also drives down the street many different times so it is a wonderful place for a family. We call it Keuka Country Club since there is so much to do but yet peaceful and serene. Best kept secret location on the lake!!
