Step inside the entrance to this beautiful lakefront home and into a welcoming hallway. On the right, you’ll find a spacious full bathroom featuring a jetted tub and a shower with built-in seating—ideal for unwinding after a day on the lake. The primary bedroom, located just off the hallway, includes a queen-size bed, ceiling fan, and direct access to the bathroom for added privacy and ease.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the open-concept full kitchen features a large island with bar seating, quality appliances, and plenty of counter space to make meal prep a joy. Whether you're preparing a hearty breakfast or gourmet dinner, this space keeps the cook at the heart of the action. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, where two sets of sliding glass doors lead out to a spacious wraparound deck.
Start your morning with a steaming cup of coffee while taking in lake views and birdsong, or gather on the roomy deck for evening cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon. Inside, a cozy built-in wall unit frames the decorative fireplace—perfect for curling up with a glass of local Finger Lakes wine on cooler evenings.
Upstairs, a second full bathroom with a tub sits at the top of the open staircase. Two additional bedrooms with queen beds await—one facing the wooded hillside along Esperanza Drive, and the other offering beautiful views of Keuka Lake and a cooling ceiling fan for restful summer nights.
Outside, the fun continues at the water's edge. With a rocky bottom and gentle slope, the private lakefront is ideal for swimming, wading, paddling around Keuka Lake in the provided kayaks, canoe, or rowboat, or simply lounging in the sun. Prefer some shade? The covered gravel patio offers a cool retreat for a midday break.
Active guests will love the quiet road leading to nearby Keuka Lake State Park, with its scenic walking and hiking trails. The historic Esperanza Mansion, offering fine dining and sweeping lake views, is just a short walk up the hill—less than half a mile away. And when you’re ready to explore more of the Finger Lakes region, state parks, local restaurants and charming shops are all just a quick drive from your doorstep. This charming vacation rental is also conveniently located along the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, featuring wineries such as Fox Run Vineyards and Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery. If craft beer and artisanal spirits are more to your taste, you’ll enjoy the Finger Lakes Beer Trail, featuring over 75 breweries and distilleries in the region. For the nature enthusiast, there’s no shortage of outdoor activities. From hiking the waterfall trail at Taughannock Falls State Park and fishing in Cayuga Lake or Canandaigua Lake, to swimming or boating in Keuka Lake and Seneca Lake, the whole family will enjoy making memories together.
Whether you’re seeking a week of outdoor adventures, wine country experiences, or simply quiet moments by the water, Chateau Esperanza offers the perfect setting for your next Finger Lakes getaway.
