About this property

Private, Rustic, Quiet, Quirky! Welcome to O'Cottage! 150 feet of lake frontage


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 property 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.

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. 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. The third floor has a queen bed and four singles; this is the perfect place to set the kids up, which is what we do. You can enjoy the view of the lake from all three bedrooms! A full bath with shower is conveniently located to these bedrooms.
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 warm, 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. This home is located in a prime fishing location, so make sure you bring your fishing poles. Fish off the dock, or take the kayak 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 home 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. Please note that O'Cottage is a seasonal cottage and is closed for the winter from October 31-April 15. Use of kayak is st guests’ own risk.

This is a rustic, seasonal cottage with no central heat or a/c. 4WD is recommended, as the driveway is quite steep. There is no washer/dryer and no d/w. Please read the property description and the rental agreement in their entireties and ask any questions before booking, as this is non-refundable reservation. For your protection, please consider travel insurance. Thank you!

Wonderful home
The place was exactly as advertised. Location was perfect for boating and jet skiing without having to pack up a vehicle. The lack of a dishwasher makes paper plates a must, but they doubled nicely as fire starters for a lakeside fire at night. No AC was not an issue at all due to the location.

Family vacation
Our friends have been renting this home for years and recommended it to us. We had a great time and can understand why they keep coming back. The cottage was comfortably and nicely decorated and the lake frontage is fabulous. The owners added a pedal boat that we had a great deal of fun using and we rented some SUP boards that were fun, too. There was a lot of family bonding around the campfire at night and this was a great vacation to connect with the kids.

Keuka Views Galore
Thank you , Anastasia for making our stay at this beautiful home a very relaxing one. This was our third annual girls weekend in Keuka and this was the best home yet! We enjoyed playing games and drinking wine by the firepit. Almost every window had a breath taking view of Keuka Lake. We kept congregating at the long, granite kitchen island. The home had everything we needed. We cannot wait to plan another trip to your lovely home.

We Love This Place
A perfect location for a week to recharge from the s.tresses of daily living. We have tried many places on the lake and this, by far, was our favorite. Ample space for the two families to set up in. We loved eating dinner at the picnic table by the water. We made great use of the firepit, too! The house was very clean and well-kept and we enjoyed the tree branch curtain rod especially.

Private!
We had a fantastic time at the "O'Cottage." We have seen this house from the water during the times we boated past and were lucky enough to spend a beautiful week there. We had near-complete privacy and hardly saw a car all week. During the week, the kids had the water to themselves. They swam, they tubed, they hiked. We felt totally at east letting them loose to walk in the woods for a hike because of the private location. It was the kind of vacation that we came home tired from because of all the physical activity we took part in. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with our family!

Fabulous Fun
When we read in the description that O'Cottage is steps from the water, we didn't know what to expect. But, now we do! And they are not kidding! This location is great! Kids could be swimming and we could run in the house for a drink and still supervise them. The boat-watching was fun and the location was very quiet, especially at night. We hope to come back next year. The owner was great to deal with and answered our questions in a lightning-fast manner. Thank you for sharing this gem with us!

Fabulous Stay
Unbeatable location and adorable cottage. When you read that the house is steps from the water in the description, believe it! This was such a benefit to our family. Kids could swim and we could supervise them, even if we had to run in the house for a drink. Great boat watching from this spot. Very quiet at night. Best vacation we have taken in a long time!

"Lake" no Other
After going to Keuka Lake for many years and staying in cottages with long hikes to the water and noisy neighbors next-door, O'Cottage is my favorite. The reason I like it so much is the privacy and the location (my boys and I all like to fish and we can fish off the dock and from the rowboat). The cottage has two beaches that are easy to swim in from. The fishing is excellent from the swim platform. It was fun hiking in the woods to collect firewood and smore sticks for our nightly bonfire. The campfire is right near the water and it is so pretty at night. The lake is about a mile wide at this point and we had a family challenge to swim across it. The lake is very quite on the weekdays and it was like having the entre lake to ourselves. The interior of the cottage was charming, with a mix of highend and rustic. With three separate living rooms that could be shut with doors for privacy, it was easy to find a place to do what we wanted. The counter to having the house at lake level is that the driveway is very steep, which was difficult for my mom to walk up, so we drove her up the driveway instead whenever we left the property. The owner was quick to respond to my questions and very easy to work with. We rented a pontoon boat and took a day trip to Hammondsport, which is a really cute LITTLE town. It was fun to see the Amish people in town driving their horse and buggy. I regret not stopping in Watking Glen to see the waterfall there - I heard it was amazing.
