Description Description
Experience lakeside living at its best with Fun in the Sun—a beautifully maintained Keuka Lake 3-bedroom retreat with space for up to 8 guests that combines comfort, convenience, and classic Finger Lakes charm. Perfectly situated within walking distance of Penn Yan’s local shops and restaurants, Red Jacket Park and Playground, and Morgan’s Marine, this welcoming vacation home is ideal for families or groups of friends looking to make the most of their time on the water!

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel at ease in this cheerful and thoughtfully designed lakefront getaway. The main entry opens to an inviting open-concept living area that’s perfectly suited for gathering together and making memories. The spacious living room offers cozy seating for evenings spent watching movies, playing games, or relaxing in front of the decorative fireplace after a day on the lake. Natural light fills the space, highlighting this beautiful home’s warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Just beyond, the full kitchen sits at the heart of the home—bright and functional, with warm wood tones, ample prep space, and all the essentials you need for home-cooked meals. The open layout makes it easy to stay connected with the rest of your group while you cook, and the adjacent dining area provides seating for eight, perfect for family-style dinners or casual breakfasts before heading out to explore. Large lake-facing windows offer scenic lake views while you dine, and sliding doors lead out to the deck for an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Two comfortable bedrooms are located on the main level of this Finger Lakes vacation rental, each furnished with a queen-size bed and plenty of natural light. A shared full bathroom with a walk-in shower is conveniently located nearby. Downstairs, the lower level offers a relaxed, flexible space perfect for families or groups traveling together. The family room and den feature an expansive view of Keuka Lake through wide windows, creating a peaceful spot to unwind or enjoy a quiet morning with coffee in hand. Two twin beds provide additional sleeping space here, making this area perfect for kids or teens. The lower level also includes a private queen bedroom overlooking the lake, a half bathroom, and laundry facilities for added convenience during longer stays.

Step outside onto the lakeside deck, where you can savor your morning coffee, grill out, or enjoy an alfresco meal with a glass of local Finger Lakes wine with the sound of the waves just below. A small level yard leads to the stairs that descend to the private lakefront, where you’ll find a grassy sitting area with a fire pit, a seasonal dock, and a natural-entry beach—ideal for kids who love to splash and play in the shallow water. Whether you’re swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing in the sunshine, this peaceful waterfront setting offers the perfect backdrop for your vacation.

With 75 feet of natural lake and breakwall frontage, you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy the water. The gradual slope to the shoreline makes access easy, and the seasonal dock is perfect for sunbathing or launching a kayak. The location couldn’t be better—this vacation home sits right at the edge of Penn Yan, placing you minutes from the Keuka Lake Wine Trail and less than ten minutes from the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Wineries, breweries, and restaurants are all nearby, along with local favorites like The Olney Place, Seneca Farms Ice Cream, and Amity Coffee Co. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the proximity to the Keuka Lake Outlet Trail, where you can walk or bike between Keuka Lake and Seneca Lake. Spend sunny days hiking through Finger Lakes National Forest or Watkins Glen State Park, fishing for trout or salmon in Cayuga Lake or Canandaigua Lake, and horseback riding near Seneca Lake, or take a day trip to tour historic colleges in Ithaca or Rochester, just an hour’s drive away.

After a day of exploring the charming small towns of the Finger Lakes region, return home to your private lakefront retreat for an evening of laughter, relaxation, and unforgettable sunset views over the water. Fun in the Sun offers everything you need for a stress-free, memory-filled getaway—ample parking, modern amenities, and a prime location close to all that Penn Yan and Keuka Lake have to offer. Whether you’re planning your first visit to the Finger Lakes or returning for another summer on the water, this charming vacation home promises an easygoing, comfortable experience where relaxation comes naturally.

Home was perfect for a group of 4 friends. Large enough for everyone to have their own space while not being too large. The proximity to Penn Yan made it very convenient for accessing stores and restaurants.

We were very happy with the property and location. Kids had a blast on the water and we all utilized the paddle boards, etc. Close proximity to Penn Yan for supplies or food/restaurants. Family of four highly recommend.
