From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by mature trees, thoughtfully landscaped grounds, and a sense of calm that only lake life can bring. The large, flat yard offers plenty of space for lawn games, picnics, and evenings spent roasting marshmallows under the stars. Eight-foot fencing and lush greenery create a private setting, so you can truly unwind and make the most of your stay. With parking for up to five vehicles, there’s plenty of room for guests traveling with trailers or boats.
Step inside this Finger Lakes vacation rental, and you’ll find a warm, welcoming interior that feels both spacious and homey. The living room is the heart of the lake home, featuring cathedral ceilings, knotty pine accents, and four skylights that fill the space with natural light. A stunning fieldstone fireplace adds cozy character to the room, making it a perfect gathering place for cool evenings or quiet mornings. Just beyond, the sunroom extends the living space with six sliding glass doors that open to views of the lake. This cheerful space is ideal for sipping your morning coffee or curling up with a good book as the sunlight reflects off the water.
The fully equipped kitchen sits at the center of the home, making meal preparation and entertaining easy. Modern appliances, plenty of counter space, and an open layout keep everyone connected while cooking and dining. Most rooms offer a view of the lake, ensuring that wherever you are, you’re never far from the water’s edge.
The main level of this lake home features three bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated with comfort in mind. The primary bedroom includes a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, and an oversized ensuite bathroom complete with a six-foot whirlpool tub. Step directly from your bedroom onto a private deck that leads to a refreshing outdoor nature shower and a soothing blue hot tub—a perfect retreat after a day of Keuka Lake adventures. The two additional bedrooms on this level each feature a queen bed, and one has its own private patio for quiet relaxation. Two full bathrooms on this floor ensure convenience for families or groups traveling together.
Upstairs, the spacious open loft overlooks the living room below and provides an additional sleeping area with three queen beds. This flexible space is perfect for kids, teens, or anyone who wants a cozy place to unwind. The loft also opens to a covered balcony offering another peaceful spot to enjoy the views of Keuka Lake and the surrounding nature.
Outdoors, Heron Way offers endless ways to enjoy your lakefront Finger Lakes vacation. The expansive waterfront features a private dock, and while the shallow, soft-bottom shoreline isn’t ideal for swimming, excellent swimming can be found just 300 feet offshore at the well-known “sand bar.” Guests will love taking advantage of the included rowboat, canoe, and paddle boat for exploring the calm waters around Sugar Creek. This area is also one of the best fishing spots on Keuka Lake, with cattails and lily pads creating the perfect habitat for bass and sunfish.
Whether you’re watching herons glide across the water at sunrise, soaking in the hot tub under a canopy of stars, or sharing stories around the firepit, every detail at Heron Way has been designed to help you slow down and savor the beauty of the Finger Lakes.
When you’re ready to explore, Keuka Lake State Park is just a short drive away and offers hiking trails, picnic areas, and a convenient boat launch. The charming village of Penn Yan is nearby, with local shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms to discover. Spend a day exploring the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, fishing in Cayuga Lake, or enjoy a scenic drive to neighboring Seneca Lake or Canandaigua Lake for more wineries, breweries, and Finger Lakes attractions.
Pet-friendly and perfect for large families or multi-generational gatherings, Heron Way combines the comfort of home with the best of lakeside living. With its spacious layout, private lakefront setting, and easy access to outdoor adventure, this vacation home invites you to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories by the water!
Note: The docks water depth can vary from 1.5 to 3 feet. The bottom is soft and boats with shallow drafts and trim dock easily. Cattails line the shore and lily pads make this one of Keuka's best fishing spots. Excellent swimming is available 300' off shore, the "sand bar". A rowboat, a canoe and purple paddle boat are provided for easy access. Swimming off the dock is poor.
