Description Description

Welcome to Happy Hour, a beautifully remodeled Finger Lakes vacation rental nestled on the east branch of Keuka Lake, directly across from the tip of the iconic bluff. Perfectly positioned for panoramic lake views, this inviting lakefront vacation home blends classic comfort with modern design, offering an unforgettable escape for families, couples, and groups of friends seeking the ideal getaway in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

From the moment you arrive, the tone is set for relaxation and fun. Convenient parking for three vehicles is located across the driveway beside the garage, allowing easy access to the property. A short, level walk leads you to the covered rear porch and main entry, where the home’s charm unfolds through open, light-filled spaces and timeless décor that celebrates lake life.

Step inside to find a spacious interior thoughtfully designed to balance style and comfort. The fully updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring deep countertops, ample cabinet storage, and quality appliances that make meal preparation effortless. Whether you’re cooking a family breakfast or preparing a dinner featuring local ingredients from the Windmill Farm and Craft Market, this kitchen provides everything you need. The central island with bar seating invites family and friends to gather for conversation while meals are being prepared, transforming cooking into a shared experience. The open layout flows naturally into the adjacent dining room, where large windows frame stunning views of Keuka Lake. A spacious dining table comfortably seats eight guests, making it ideal for family-style meals and game nights. For more casual moments, additional counter seating for three overlooks the water—perfect for sipping morning coffee, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or raising a glass of Finger Lakes wine as the sun sets over the lake. The great room is the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure. Hand-crafted knotty pine ceilings and warm wood tones create an inviting atmosphere, while the comfortable seating encourages hours of laughter, conversation, and relaxation. Whether you’re reading by the window, watching TV, or simply admiring the expansive lake views, this space captures the warmth and ease of true lakeside living.

On the main level, Happy Hour offers three well-appointed bedrooms, each designed to provide a restful retreat after a day on the water. The bunk room, a favorite among families and kids, features space to sleep up to five guests with built-in bunks and a cheerful, relaxed design. Large windows fill the room with natural light and reveal serene lake views that make waking up here a joy. Adjacent to this room, a newly remodeled full bathroom showcases elegant tile work and a step-in shower for convenience and comfort.
The second bedroom, located at the back of the home, overlooks the peaceful garden area and includes a plush queen bed. Soft, neutral tones and cozy bedding make it the perfect retreat for afternoon naps or quiet reading. The master bedroom, positioned near the entry foyer, features a luxurious king bed and plenty of natural light, providing the ideal balance of comfort and privacy. With thoughtful touches and a serene aesthetic throughout, every sleeping space in Happy Hour feels like a sanctuary.

Step outside onto the lakeside deck, where relaxation and connection come together. The shaded, furnished deck offers one of the best vantage points on the property, overlooking the water and the iconic Bluff Point beyond. This is the perfect setting for outdoor dining, enjoying your morning coffee, or simply sitting back and taking in the peaceful rhythm of the waves.

Just steps away, the level lakefront extends an open invitation to enjoy the best of Finger Lakes living. Whether you’re fishing from the dock, sunbathing by the shore, or cooling off in the crystal-clear waters, every moment spent here feels timeless. The private dock provides easy access to the water for swimming, boating, and paddling. Kayaks and paddleboards can be launched effortlessly, allowing you to explore Keuka’s scenic shoreline and discover quiet coves at your own pace. As the sun sets, the lake transforms into a masterpiece of color — golden light shimmering across the water and the sky fading into hues of pink and lavender. Evenings on the deck or dock are ideal for unwinding with a drink in hand, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the serenity of nature.

Happy Hour’s prime location makes it easy to experience the best of the Finger Lakes region. Just a short drive away, the charming village of Hammondsport offers boutique shopping, local dining, and lakeside charm. Wine lovers will appreciate the close proximity to Crooked Lake Winery, Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, and Ravines Wine Cellars, all celebrated stops along the Keuka Lake Wine Trail. Each tasting experience offers not just excellent wine but breathtaking lake views that showcase the beauty of the region.

For those interested in culture and history, the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport celebrates one of aviation’s earliest pioneers, while the Corning Museum of Glass, about an hour’s drive away, offers fascinating exhibits and live glassblowing demonstrations. Outdoor enthusiasts will love exploring nearby hiking trails, scenic overlooks, and waterfalls that make the Finger Lakes a year-round destination for adventure and beauty.

Happy Hour accommodates up to eight guests and includes all the amenities needed for a relaxing, memorable stay. The combination of level lakefront access, stunning views, and proximity to Finger Lakes attractions makes it an ideal choice for everything from multi-generational family vacations to couples’ retreats or friend getaways.

Enjoyed the view of the bluff and the sailboat racing on Sunday. Walking out on to the deck at night and looking directly up at the Big Dipper.

We have rented numerous lake houses over the years, this was our # 2 overall. The lot was level easy entry for those with minimal physical disabilities. Great house for families with children. We would rent this house again.

October 2019 Stay

The Happy Hour cottage was very comfortable and homey, with lots of sitting areas. Kitchen is well furnished and we appreciated the starter supplies the Finger Lakes property management group leaves in the house. The deck is great and the view of the Lake is wonderful and relaxing. We visited in early October and there were very few people around us or on the Lake at that time of year.

September 2017 Stay

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. The area is family oriented and the neighbors very friendly. We were very comfortable. The appliances appeared new and were very clean inside and out. Well appointed kitchen except toaster worked infrequently - probably a short in the wiring. We found the cottage very clean and furniture quite comfortable. Great location for the wineries! Enjoyed this "little piece of Heaven" on the lake!

Had a great time. It is always a sad day when you have to leave the lake. I do believe that the cable package should be updated. I was watching a movie and the station went out saying it was no.longer part of the package. Only receiving the basic channels should have more than 6 basic stations for the price. Sue Liddy
