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.

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.
