If you’re looking for the perfect, private location on Keuka Lake with one of the best views, you have found it at O’Cottage! This one-of-a-kind rustic, seasonal cottage is nestled off the end of the private extension of East Bluff Drive on a level lakeside lot. There is no drive-by traffic and no visible neighbors to one side of this lot (but the home is accessed by a VERY steep driveway and 4WD is recommended).
A warm and inviting space greets you as you enter the home into the kitchen. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a glass cook top stove, and granite countertops (please note that there is no d/w). You can enjoy the beautiful gas fireplace as you prepare meals and gather with your family and friends. Just off the kitchen is a full bath with tub/shower combo. Two more separate living areas, both tastefully furnished, provide enough space for the entire family to relax. A beautiful set of pine barn doors add an eclectic touch, and can be closed for privacy if the adults wish to gather in one space to chat and enjoy a glass of Finger Lakes wine, as the children play or watch a movie in the third living room.
A staircase off of this room leads to a private bedroom on the 2nd floor. This bedroom features a Queen size bed, and a great view of the lake. The second staircase leading to the 2nd floor is located off the kitchen. The other three bedrooms are located on this side of the house. There are two queen bedrooms; one of the queen bedrooms features a small TV with a DVD player. We like to use the third floor for the kids; it has a queen bed and four singles; here, they have privacy and a cozy space to themselves. You can enjoy the view of the lake from all three bedrooms! A full bath with shower is conveniently located to these bedrooms on the second floor.
The lakefront at this property is unlike any other, and where you will want to spend most of your time! With two gradual entrances to the lake, you can wade in the shallow water and children can enjoy the perfect spot for splashing and swimming. A picnic table is located lakeside, where you can gather for meals or a game of cards. Bring your fishing poles. You can fish off the dock, or take the kayak (kayak only available May 15-September 30) out and enjoy the scenery. Relax in the Adirondack chairs and tell stories around a campfire. Watch for shooting stars under the clear night’s sky. Just minutes from local restaurants, wineries and shops, yet set in a location where you can privately enjoy your vacation, O’Cottage is the vacation destination you have been waiting for!
The cottage was renovated in 2005 and is lovingly maintained and updated each year. This is a smoke-free and pet-free home. If you'd like to see more photos or want to take a walking tour, please visit us on Facebook or Linkedin.
We rent full weeks on a Saturday-to-Saturday schedule during the summer months, which run from the last week of June through the Saturday prior to Labor Day. O'Cottage is a seasonal and rustic cottage (there is no central heat and there is no a/c and, like many lake cottages, there is neither a d/w nor washer/dryer) and is closed for the winter from October 31-April 15. The property is located in a wooded area on the edge of a lake, which may result in the presence of insects and wildlife on the premises and participates in a preventative pest control program.
While there is a lot of information here (sorry!), satisfied and informed guests are the goal! Please read this thoroughly and the attached rental agreement and ask any questions before booking, as this is a non-refundable reservation. Consider the purchase of travel insurance for your protection.
Our cottage is equipped with a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and hand soap. Guests bring their own sheets and towels. Security cameras of the grounds are in use. A signed rental agreement and proof of state-issued ID is required after booking.
(Kayak available May 15 - September 30. Use of kayak is at guests’ own risk.)
