About this property

Helvetia House: Historical Lake Home on Keuka Lake Wine Trail!

Welcome to Keuka Lake! Helvetia House is a home rich in history and full of charm. Located in Keuka Village, the home offers breathtaking lake views and is just steps away from the Switzerland Inn and the Keg and Barrel, two local favorites.

This vintage home has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths making it great for entertaining family and friends. You will notice a well-appointed kitchen, spacious dining room, and great room opening to a charming covered porch with amazing lake views.

During your stay at Helvetia House, you will find reminders of when this home was a hotel in the early 1900s. The bedrooms feature original room numbers and open transoms to allow for natural light and airflow. The historical touches continue with a seasonal sleeping porch overlooking the water.

Helvetia House is also home to the original Keuka Yacht Club Bar that is situated in the lower level. Outside, the views of the bluff are nothing short of incredible. A level grassy yard and natural beach provide plenty of room for fun. After you experience a famous Keuka Lake sunset, enjoy the fire pit and roast s'mores. The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, with the lake drive providing a perfect spot for walking, running or biking.

If you want to explore all that Keuka has to offer, Helvetia House is conveniently located to hiking, golfing, wineries, and museums. The nearby village of Hammondsport, recently voted “America's Coolest Small Town”, provides even more dining and shopping options. This is truly a one of a kind property!

Lakefront Dream

Helvetia house was a welcome respite. The house itself was well appointed and laid out, with plenty of space inside and out for lounging, meals, and games. The paddle board and kayaks were a nice touch, and the dock was excellent. The neighbors are very nice and we had a few chats over the fence. You are literally right next to the boat launch, which is convenient if you have a boat. It’s an easy walk to a cool taproom, a winery, and a great bar/restaurant. Otherwise you’re 10-15 mins from Penn Yan or Hammondsport, both of which were easy to get to. And you’re a short trip from Olney Place, which is a lifesaver for supplies and breakfast sandwiches. The only downside was that the house was dirty on arrival. Dirt on the floors and dog hairs embedded in all the carpets and the couch. We spent an hour vacuuming upon arrival to get it to a level of cleanliness we had expected.
