Crystal Palace

Welcome to Crystal Palace, a stunning Finger Lakes vacation rental located on the scenic east side of Keuka Lake, where panoramic views of the lake’s iconic bluff meet the quiet charm of lakeside living. This spacious three-bedroom, two-bath vacation home offers the perfect combination of indoor comfort and outdoor beauty, making it an exceptional retreat for families and friends looking to create lasting memories in the heart of the Finger Lakes region!

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the peaceful energy that defines life on Keuka Lake. This lake home welcomes you with convenient parking for up to four vehicles, ensuring a smooth and stress-free arrival for your entire group. As you step inside, the home immediately feels inviting — bright, open, and thoughtfully designed to balance charm and function. Just off the main entryway to your right, a full-size laundry room provides added convenience for families or longer stays, allowing you to refresh towels and swimsuits after days spent by the water. Continuing down the hall, the first bedroom awaits with a plush queen-size bed, soft linens, and tranquil garden views that invite restful sleep and relaxed mornings.

The main living and dining area is where this charming vacation rental truly shines. Here, antique accents meet modern comfort in a warm, open space framed by large windows that capture breathtaking lake views of the bluff. The great room’s layout encourages conversation and togetherness — ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the Finger Lakes or simply enjoying each other’s company as you watch boats glide across Keuka’s calm waters. Adjacent to the living area, the fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s delight. Outfitted with all the essentials — from modern appliances to ample cookware — it provides everything you need to prepare meals with ease. The open counter layout allows for effortless flow between the kitchen and dining area, so the cook never misses out on the fun. Whether you’re whipping up breakfast before a day of adventure or crafting a gourmet dinner with local ingredients from the Windmill Farm and Craft Market, this space makes cooking both easy and enjoyable. The dining area, centered around a wooden farmhouse table, is the perfect gathering spot for shared meals, laughter, and lingering conversations. Every meal comes with a view, thanks to the panoramic windows that frame the lake’s sparkling waters. A full bathroom on the main level includes a shower/tub combo, commode, and sink, providing comfort and convenience for guests staying on this floor.

Upstairs, the charm and spaciousness continue. Two additional bedrooms await, each designed to offer relaxation and privacy after a day of exploring the Finger Lakes region. The roadside bedroom comfortably sleeps a family, featuring two queen beds and an additional single bed — perfect for groups traveling with children or friends who appreciate extra space. The master bedroom, however, steals the show. A luxurious California King Sleep Number bed ensures a perfect night’s rest, while the room’s private balcony offers some of the most spectacular lake views imaginable. Step outside in the evening to watch the sunset paint the sky in shades of gold and pink — a moment that captures the timeless beauty of Keuka Lake. Between the two upstairs bedrooms, a second full bathroom adds convenience, allowing multiple guests to get ready simultaneously. Modern fixtures, soft lighting, and thoughtful details create a space that’s both functional and serene.

One of the standout features of this Finger Lakes vacation rental is the expansive deck that extends off the main living room. This outdoor space serves as a seamless extension of the home, inviting you to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Enjoy your morning coffee as the lake awakens, share lunch under the sun, or host evening dinners beneath the stars while taking in the sweeping lake views. The gentle sounds of waves lapping against the shore create a soothing soundtrack to every moment spent here.

A short walk down 18 steps leads you to the property’s impressive private lakefront, where 50 feet of natural shoreline and breakwall provide direct access to the water. The 26-by-45-foot dock is perfect for boating, swimming, fishing, launching a kayak, or simply lounging close to the water’s edge. With its easy access and level terrain, this area is perfect for guests of all ages — whether you’re taking a refreshing dip, casting a fishing line, relaxing around the lakeside fire pit, or watching kids play by the shore.

Beyond the property, Crystal Palace places you near some of the Finger Lakes’ best attractions. Just a short drive south lies the charming village of Hammondsport, named “America’s Coolest Small Town”. Stroll through its picturesque streets, explore local art galleries, and visit the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, which celebrates the rich history of aviation and innovation in the region. On Saturdays, browse the world-famous Windmill Farm and Craft Market, where you’ll find handmade goods, farm-fresh produce, and unique gifts to take home. For dining, the popular Switzerland Inn is just a mile down the road and offers a delicious menu paired with outstanding lake views. From casual fare to sunset cocktails, it’s a quintessential Keuka Lake experience not to be missed. This vacation home is also conveniently located in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine country. Enjoy easy access to both the Keuka Lake Wine Trail and nearby Seneca Lake Wine Trail, each featuring award-winning wineries and tasting rooms. Outdoor activities abound, from hiking to waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park or Taughannock Falls State Park, fishing in Cayuga Lake or Canandaigua Lake, biking through scenic national forests, or taking a day trip to historic sites in Ithaca or Rochester.

Back at the property, guests will appreciate the thoughtful design and practical details that make Crystal Palace so easy to enjoy. Parking is available for four vehicles on both sides of the street, and the gradual slope to the water paired with just three stairs ensures comfortable access for everyone.
