Gimme Shelter

Welcome to Gimme Shelter, your perfect Finger Lakes getaway! Located just minutes from the heart of Hammondsport, New York, voted one of the “Coolest Small Towns in America,” and a short drive to Penn Yan, this spacious four-bedroom Keuka Lake vacation rental with space for up to 10 guests combines modern comfort, incredible views, and unbeatable convenience. Whether you’re planning a family trip, a couples’ retreat, or a group gathering, this beautiful lakefront home provides everything you need for a memorable stay in the Finger Lakes region.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by sweeping lake views framed by oversized windows in the great room. Natural light pours across the open floor plan, highlighting the sleek vinyl-wood flooring that runs throughout. The inviting layout makes it easy for groups to spend time together without ever feeling crowded.

The full kitchen, with its soft gray cabinetry and ample counter space, is well-equipped for both casual breakfasts and full family dinners. Gather fresh local produce from the Windmill Farm and Craft Market or one of the roadside farm stands, then prepare a feast that showcases the best of the Finger Lakes region. Sharing meals is effortless here. The dining area flows seamlessly from the kitchen and living room, creating a cozy yet open space for conversation. There’s plenty of room for everyone to sit down together, and after dinner, you can curl up on the sofa with a glass of Finger Lakes wine and watch the sun sink low over the water.

With four bedrooms thoughtfully arranged across two levels, Gimme Shelter comfortably accommodates families and groups. Each bedroom is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, offering a peaceful retreat at the end of each exciting day. Two queen bedrooms and a shared bathroom with a tub/shower combo make the entry floor perfect for guests who prefer fewer stairs. A queen sleeper sofa in the living room provides additional sleeping space for larger groups. On the second floor, a spacious king bedroom and an additional queen bedroom share a second full bath. Each room offers privacy and cozy touches, making them ideal for couples or families traveling together. This layout ensures that everyone has a space to unwind, whether you’re traveling with kids, grandparents, or friends.

One of the highlights of Gimme Shelter is its outdoor living spaces. Two spacious decks overlook Keuka Lake, offering the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, casual barbecues, or late-night stargazing. As evening falls, you’ll have a front-row seat to some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the Finger Lakes. The sky over Keuka Lake often lights up in brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple — a nightly reminder that you’ve chosen the perfect place to relax.

Across a quiet road and down a short flight of stairs, you’ll find 50 feet of natural lakefront and a permanent dock. The platform dock is ideal for fishing, sunbathing, kayaking in the 2 provided kayaks, or simply sitting with your feet in the water while you watch boats drift by. Swimmers will love the easy lake access, and kids will delight in splashing in the clear, cool waters of Keuka Lake. When dusk settles over the lake, roast s’mores around the lakeside fire pit and take in the cool night breezes off the water.

While Gimme Shelter is a destination in itself, its location makes it easy to explore the very best of the Finger Lakes. Downtown Hammondsport is just minutes away, where you’ll find quaint shops, art galleries, and a charming village square. Stop for a meal at Timber Stone Grill, or enjoy casual dining at Burgers and Beers. Penn Yan, just a short drive north, offers its own collection of restaurants, including Union Block Bistro, and the famous Seneca Farms Ice Cream. Keuka Lake Wine Trail is home to some of the Finger Lakes’ most beloved wineries. Sample local vintages at Domaine LeSeurre Winery, Weis Vineyards, or Ravines Wine Cellars, all within easy reach. Craft beer lovers can visit Keuka Brewing Company, Finger Lakes Beer Company, or Keg & Barrel Brewing for tastings and growler fills. In addition to boating and swimming, the Finger Lakes region offers hiking, biking, fishing, and scenic drives. From the rolling hills around Keuka Lake, Cayuga Lake, and Seneca Lake, to the stunning waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park and Taughannock Falls State Park, outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to explore. No matter what your interests, Gimme Shelter puts you in the center of it all.

Whether you’re planning to sip your way through Finger Lakes Wine Country, spend your days swimming and boating, or simply relax with your family and soak up lake views from the deck, Gimme Shelter has everything you need for an unforgettable Keuka Lake getaway. Book your stay today and discover why this Hammondsport lakefront retreat is one of the most welcoming Finger Lakes vacation rentals around!
