The cabin is charming and well stocked. It was clean and the beds and linens were comfortable. What came as a surprise was the steepness of the driveway. We had 2 older women in our group and one woman in a walking boot from breaking her foot. The top of the driveway is at least a 45 degree angle. It's very very steep and very hard to walk on and drive down. You have to back down the driveway and then make a 90 degree bend in the middle of it. Please be advised of this before booking especially if you have older or disabled members in your party.
The location was right across the street from the lake and the lake views from the porch were stunning! The only drawbacks were the musty smell of the wood cabin, which is natural as it is so close to a big body of water & the Teflon pots and pans in the kitchen. Otherwise, it was cozy and comfortable for all of us 6 friends to stay in
We had a wonderful long weekend away at this cabin! The driveway is notably steep, but the views are worth it. If we were to stay again, we would pack our trunks differently to prevent chasing water bottles down the driveway upon arrival.
Clean, cozy and functional! The kids enjoyed playing the Wii downstairs while we enjoyed sipping coffee upstairs. Thank you, Joey!
Lovely spacious house. Kitchen has everything you need. We loved sitting on the deck for breakfast. We stayed for 4 nights. The area is beautiful. We walked the gorges of Watkins Glenn and Lucifer Falls;visited wineries ;made use of the lovely waterfront lovely waterfrony
Cabin is just a described, and suited our family well for the short visit to Penn Yan. Very peaceful and the waterfront portion of the property was stunning, only wish we had more time to enjoy it. Joey was a wonderful host. Driveway is steep as noted in other reviews.
We were only here for two nights while wine shopping so didn’t have too much time to enjoy the house and lake. We had a good time though. The steep driveway can be a tough hike up and down. The lake is beautiful and an easy walk down. Would have loved to take out the canoe or paddle board. Great deck with plenty of room and multiple grills.
It was a great time, very clean and outstanding house with a short walk to the beach, that has attractions. The host is super friendly and isn’t hard to reach! Would definitely recommend! Thank you Joey!
The indoor and outdoor spaces were comfortable and inviting. The waterfront was spacious with easy access to the water. To get to the water you must walk down the driveway, cross the road and then go down a shared driveway to the dock. With children aged 6 and 10 I was a little nervous about the road, but traffic is light and the drivers were cautious and considerate and the children followed good road-crossing protocol. A suggestion about the tricky driveway up to the cabin: If you have backup cameras, backing up the driveway is easier than backing down. Once we figured out the best way to negotiate it, the driveway was no problem. For the lower drive to the lake, backing down and driving up worked best. We had a great time!
The cottage is lovely and roomy, situated in the trees with multiple porches from which to admire the lake. Waterfront area is good, with plenty of swim and boating equipment (though a second kayak would be nice). The famous driveway is steep, especially for old knees, but definitely unavoidable, given the perfect setting of overlooking the lake yet with access to it.
We had fantastic time, loved everything about the place (rustic but felt like home) and location, the drive to the house from the street is a bit steep but hey - you either get a bit of a workout walking or get the thrill of driving your car up and down:)
Great House! Lots of fun had!! Even the rainy day didnt keep the boys out of the water and lots of fun playing games provided at the house to pass the time. The drive way is steep but we concoured it several times with no casualties. Thank for a great Adult weekend get away. (If you have bad knees or trouble with hills this is not the house for you)
Clean, and with 7 adults the 2 full bathrooms were perfect. Multiple decks to sit on and eat, birdwatch, or just veg. The cabin is well stocked. Bring your Rokus/Firesticks, the bedrooms that have TVs, they are not "Smart", but the one in the living room is. We rarely watched them.
There are neighbors on each side at the waterfront, but up at the cabin, nothing but nature!
We arrived in the middle of an almost 100F heatwave, so the AC was appreciated the first.few days, as was the proximity to the crystal clear lake...bring water shoes, the bottom is a bit rocky!
Putting kayaks in was simple, and there.is a marina just up the road that will put a bigger boat in for you, for a fee, or there are.public boat launches at Keuka Lake State Park, and in Penn Yan.
The driveway IS steep, as mentioned in other reviews, so not for anyone with any limitations to a climb, but even the 70+ year old members in our group were able to navigate it several times a day without issue.
Penn Yan has all the necessities (even an Aldi!), and there are a multitude of wineries, Cideries, Breweries and even Meaderies in the area, for those who like that!
If you are in the area and want a beautiful hike, we highly recommend Watkins Glen State Park Gorge trail. Amazing!
Lovely property and very clean, which is important to me. They had a TON of towels too. Loved having the kayak and canoe. The host was very responsive and communication was clear and precise. We had no issues whatsoever. The deck was just perfect to sit out on at night to overlook the lake.
I see other reviews mention a steep driveway. I just want to reiterate that they are NOT kidding. That driveway is a beast and if you have mobility issues it’s going to be tough. It’s steep and winds a few times. We just parked at the bottom and walked up and it was fine…it was a great glute workout for sure. Keep this in mind if you’re planning to bring a lot of stuff that’s heavy.
Also - bring bug spray. It’s a wooded lot, very natural setting. The house at the bottom of the Y in the lake so most attractions (wineries and restaurants) were about 20m away. Might be a little further out than you want, depending on what you are planning to do while there.
Worked great for us and was very peaceful and quiet!
The lake is beautiful, the cabin is clean and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped too. I strongly suggest you park in the spots before the driveway - it's very steep and tricky!
