Birchwood Cottage, 200ft of Lake Beach-Fully flat lot -Private Driveway
**** WE JUST PUT IN A NEW HUGE LAKE-SIDE COVERED PORCH WITH A CEILING FAN (added 2025). We love making our place better for our renters!!
WELCOME summer and Fall Bachelorette Parties for wine trail weekends or extended stay. ***If you are booking in July or August, it's a 7-day minimum, and a Saturday to Saturday checkout schedule. ***
WELCOME to Finger Lakes Wine Country and Keuka Lake! This exclusive private home is prepared for your family to relax and enjoy. We love improving it every year! The fully flat lot entitles guests to drive down a long private drive, parking off the road. The first floor provides a tremendous living room with a fireplace and TV, a fully renovated kitchen, and a dining room with a 10-foot farmhouse dining table and vaulted ceilings. The 3 sets of French doors allow a monumental view of Keuka Lake. No hillside staircases or obstacles detain you from 220 feet of private flat beach and large dock. Our new concrete "sea-wall" extends along the beach with wide custom concrete steps that allow you to walk right into the crystal clear water( added 2024). The main floor also provides 1 1/2 bathrooms and a new king-size bed in the main level guest room. The 2nd floor features a Primary bedroom with floor-to-ceiling window views of the lake. Also on the 2nd floor is a Children's room with a loft twin bed and full-sized bed, and a full bath with double sinks. The lower-level "bonus room" provides window views of the lake and loft-style bunk beds, with a queen bed as well as a pack-n-play. We added new coffee bar (2025) with a wine fridge and keurig. The giant flat yard allows for families to play volleyball, football, cornhole, and more. Private Parking for 4 vehicles. You're definitely on the wine trail!! Over 20 private wineries and micro-breweries are less then 16 minutes away (check out our chalkboard in the kitchen for exact driving distance to wineries and breweries as a quick reference)! The home offers informational brochures for hundreds of vineyards, breweries, additional activities, and bars and restaurants. A tremendously expansive patio (and 2025 update- covered porch!!) with Adirondack chairs and outdoor dining is just steps from the crystal clear water of New York's best-kept secret. Our patio table and benches seats 10+. The house also offers a firepit with new additional Adirondack chairs as well as sunbathing loungers. Welcome to your Escape! July to September bookings must be a minimum of 7 days. Spring, Fall, & Winter bookings can vary. Check winery hours, as many wineries and breweries on the Finger Lakes wine trail are now open year round, with charter bus rentals available.

Even with the cold weather outside, the house felt warm, calm, and genuinely welcoming. A really lovely place to settle into and slow down.We rang in the New Year there with our family, and the quiet, winter stillness made it feel especially meaningful. Everything was thoughtfully cared for, and it’s the kind of place that stays with you after you leave.Thank you again, and all the best in the year ahead.Warm regards.
This property was perfect for our group of 8. We enjoyed having our coffee by the lake in the morning and there was plenty of space for us to prepare our meals. Would highly recommend this property!
Amazing house with all the necessities and rooms we needed to celebrate a girls weekend and turning 60! We lived on the covered outdoor patio (a huge plus) when we weren't touring all the local wineries. Not enough days to do everything we wanted, but the location was perfect! The region is stunning and we are already planning a trip back! Thanks for offering your beautiful home!
Our family had a wonderful time at Birchwood Cottage and we would definitely stay again. Drew was very accommodating and responsive. The home and property were well kept and the lake views and access were amazing.
We had a multigenerational family vacation at this lovely and well-appointed lake house. We loved the ever changing views of the lake over the course of the day, the easy access to the water via the dock and beach and the comfortale house with lots of different spaces for gathering and sleeping. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back!
The cottage is location worked perfectly for our group, even though we stayed in late November, we enjoyed the morning lake views. The cottage itself is as described, tasty decoration. Kitchen was equipped sufficiently to meet our 10 people. Sheets and beds were comfortable, I only wish we had few more bathroom towels . Overall we had wonderful time.
We have stayed on Keuka Lake several years in multiple locations. This property is the best location we've had. The flat terrain,parking and lake access are wonderful. The cottage is lovely and and very comfortable. The owners were responsive and interested in us enjoying our stay. We are booked for 2024!
Lovely cottage. Great swimming and fishing. Rare lot size for a lake front home. Gorgeous farmhouse decorating. If I had one wish, it would be for screens in all the windows and doors to feel the lake breezes and hear the waves and the crickets at night. Air conditioning is sufficient to keep it cool, but it lacks the lake by ambiance.
We had a wonderful time at Birchwood cottage, the decor and the property are beautiful and the access to the lake couldn’t be nicer. From fishing off the dock to watching the sun rise from the patio we made good use of the outdoor spaces. Keuka lake is crystal clear and beautiful. There are a number of wineries within a few minutes drive of the cottage. It does take 20 mins or so to get to a grocery store but all in all it wasn’t that far to get to Penn Yan for these items. We would definitely return again!
Great house on Keuka Lake. Rented the cottage for a friends weekend, which this house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of outdoor space with great lake frontage. Dock was a great feature. Boat launch was right down the street as well. Caught a few bass off the dock. House is in good shape. Floors are a little slanted in the kitchen/dining area, but wasn't a concern at all. Overall, I would rent and recommend this cottage.
We loved the views of Keuka lake. We often had 12 hours of sun and we
were able to swim and and use our own kayak many days. The house had ample parking and a large beachfront. Fortunately, my son in law brought us a canopy to allow us some shade on cloudless days.
The house was comfortable… we were a large group of mixed ages and prepared food in the kitchen most evenings.
Unfortunately there was a power outage (not the owners fault) and we weren’t able to open the majority of the windows which had no screens.
But even so, we’ve already booked for next year.
This house has everything!
The large kitchen/living space and large dining table made spending time together inside easy & comfortable. There were board games to play, books to read, and clean cozy furniture to curl up on in the evenings.
BUT who could spend much time inside with an outdoor area like that?! The stone beach & shallow water was perfect for our group ages 8-60 but we would definitely recommend swim shoes (some slippery stones). We spent most of our time at Keuka in the water swimming, skipping stones, or out front playing in the large/flat front yard which offers a lot of privacy thanks to the surrounding trees.
This property is the perfect mix of togetherness and privacy with different floors, bedrooms spread out just right, and multiple restrooms.
Would definitely stay here again!
We had to arrive late in the night, around 11pm. Somewhat difficult to find the property because you can't see the house from the road and Google Maps isn't perfectly accurate. The driveway to the house was covered in leaves and didn't look like a real road. I wish there was more signage from the road to the property. Regardless, the stay was great. The house it self was very clean and cozy. The view to the lake was fantastic, especially in the morning and sunset. Great for a staycation. The drive to the town is tedious, ~15 min to get to the coffee shop. But there is a great vineyard just 6 min away. The amenities in the house are great and a perfect VRBO for 2-4 couples.
If you know anything about the Finger Lakes you know how rare a large flat lot with a lot of privacy is and this property has both of those things. The house itself is very clean and decorated really cute. The bedroom on the main floor does not have a ceiling which isn’t an issue if you put the early risers in that room but could be a problem for someone who wants to sleep in as its right off the kitchen and there really is no way to be quiet to not wake up whoever is in that bedroom. My only very minor complaint is that there are no chairs around the fire pit so I would recommend bringing your own. Otherwise this house has everything you need and the owner is very responsive. We locked ourselves out one day and they immediately helped us get back in. Would love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Keuka rental.
Overall we had a great week at the Birchwood. Very nicely decorated, nice location, nice dock to dock our boat. Great sitting areas outside. Some negatives, the biggest probably being the uneven floor from the living room area to the kitchen/dining. I think everyone in our party tripped a few times, one resulting in a heavy fall. We found no oven mitts (I purchased a couple at the dollar store), no microwave in the kitchen and that was really missed. Instructions said one dishwasher pod for each day of stay but we only had 5. Only had one dish towel that would dry dishes. Outdoor grill was a mess, big grease fire waiting to happen. Had to spend quite a bit of cleaning time. Personally I missed no way to hear the lake early mornings as there were no screens to open windows/doors (but understand the ac issue here).
We had a wonderful family vacation here. The house had adequate space for us: 6 adults and 3 children age 5 and under. The yards around the house were level (unlike some FLX properties) and provided stressless play area for our 3 grandchildren to run around. We love this house and all its features. Only a few minor things to be aware of: the bottom floor bedroom with 2 bunks was a good size for our daughter and her husband and 2 children age 3 and under … however, there were NO blinds or blackout curtains on the windows … meaning that 2 young kids awakened at the crack of dawn with the sunlight (one window facing east) and were ready to go! After the 2nd morning, our son-in-law improvised and found enough cardboard to craft a makeshift covering for inside the window. Not a huge issue, but just something to be aware of for those with young children. In fact, we didn’t find that any of the bedrooms had thick window treatments. My wife prefers absolute darkness for a good night’s sleep. We still had a great week! Also, one of the full bathrooms entry is into the eating area. Not a big deal for us, just a little awkward. For any families who prefer an en suite with 100% bathroom privacy, this isn’t possible. Again, not a big deal for our family, but just something to be aware of. The owner was easily accessible during the week when we needed to communicate. We hope to return to this VRBO in the coming years. It was great for us! Thank you!!
We had a wonderful girls weekend at Birchwood Cottage. The views and access to the water was amazing! Great location and host! The covered back patio is perfect to enjoy Keuka Lake! Cottage was roomy, comfortable and clean. The huge couch and open concept was perfect to sit around and enjoy our weekend!
We had a fantastic family trip. The best kept secret is the beach area - we had a blast just hanging in the water, felt safe and away from any boat activity. Close to a playground to give the kiddos another activity, and great location to golf too! Trying to work it into our vacation rotation again.
