Nice but uncomfortable

Very nice location. However Kirk had the opportunity to tell me upon check in that the house had AC issues. Apparently the house doesn’t have adequate insulation to keep the interior cool on hot days. AC couldn’t keep the temps tolerable at all. Hot outside and inside. For the per night cost I expected much better conditions for my family. Renters beware

Place could be in a movie

This place was so charming and beautiful, instantly at peace from the moment we stepped on the dock. We loved everything about the home and location, already planning to book again next year. The owners thought of everything, there was nothing we needed-thwt even had supplies for us to make a fire outside, and a nice binder for everything we might need to know.

Charming and cozy lake house

This cozy cottage provided our family with the perfect spot for a fall Keuka Lake retreat. Our host was delightful and provided all we needed for a memorable stay. The broad porch and the fire pit, wood provided, were enticing features during the crisp fall days. We hope to visit again!

Nice Keuka Getaway

Property is beautiful, situated right on Keuka Lake. We enjoyed spending time on the back deck listening to the waves rolling in and spending time with our group of friends. Check in, check out process was seamless, and property owner kept us very informed in days leading up to our stay. Would definitely recommend this property

Eastview Cottage

This is a beautifully restored historic lakefront property with a great front porch and nicely landscaped yard, perfect for outdoor living . Although the week we visited was unseasonably cold and windy we enjoyed our time inside. The location was also very good-close to town yet felt private.

This home on Keuka Lake is well equipped, beautifully appointed, well maintained and perfectly located. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. We will be back at some point in the future.

Perfect Place for a Girls Getaway

We spent two nights at this beautiful home and look forward to returning. Our group of 8 ladies had lots of room …tons of places to sleep and to gather to chat and laugh. We spent a few hours visiting the nearby wineries, but we looked forward to returning home to hang out on the porch (taking in the spectacular view) or play games in the dining room. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us. It was absolutely perfect for celebrating a retirement!

About the host

Hosted by Kirk Vieselmeyer

Kirk and Barbara Vieselmeyer purchased Eastview Cottage in the summer of 2015. We purchased Eastview Cottage because we own the blue cottage, Lake Lawn Point, next to it and we always loved the architecture of Eastview. We purchased Lake Lawn Point in 2011 and completely renovated it as well as our guest cottage , Sin Cottage. It is called Sin Cottage because back in the late 1800s the women didn't approve of the men's smoking and drinking habits so Sin Cottage was built for them. Sin Cottage is our guest home but it usually is occupied by our family. We have 4 married sons and are thrilled to have 10 grandchildren and another one on the way ! We embrace family time at our lake home and we enjoy meeting new guests each year.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Eastview Cottage because we own the blue cottage next to it and we have always loved the architecture . It was part of the Lake Lawn Estate once and we wanted to keep it's history intact. We feel that location is the key to owning a lake home. We are five minutes from Penn Yan and when you have a family and many guests there is always something that we need in town. Or after a fun day at the lake we might just order some food from town. We also are close to many wineries and breweries as well. Having a hospital near by is a big advantage too. The water is pretty shallow and usually warm. We have very friendly lake neighbors that we enjoy socializing with.

What makes this property unique

Dan and Nancy Brooks are the owners of the nearby Colonial Hotel. They clean and provide the linens for Eastview Cottage. They are always available to help you with any concerns that you may have and they are located directly across the street.
