The interior of this Finger Lakes vacation rental is designed for comfort and relaxation. The living room’s sleeper sofa allows for additional guests or a cozy spot to curl up with a good book. The sunroom futon provides another flexible sleeping option and is also a quiet retreat for reading or enjoying the views. The full bathroom on the first floor features a walk-in shower, making it easy to freshen up after a day spent swimming, boating, or exploring the surrounding area.

Keuka Lake itself offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and natural beauty.

Well equipped but 35 stairs from parking
These tiny cabin works well for two thin people, who can squeeze between the bed and the walls and the miniature shower. The view of the water is great ! Special sunsets, and compensate for inconvenience. Note : 35 STAIRS to the road, where you park. The deck is lovely and the kitchen is super equipped and excellent grill on the deck.

Wonderful. Swimming to the dock is exhilarating. The kitchen is well stocked although the microwave is loud. The sunroom overlooking Lake Keuka is pleasant. There is a shortage of space for clothes and other items. The bedroom fits only the bed. You can't

We had a wonderful few days. The house was clean. The shower was way to small though, large man could not fit into this shower. The sunsets are just beautiful. For 2 people this house is good.

Such a charming little jewel box of a cottage!!  All the amenities you need are provided and then some!! The cottage is very clean which we greatly appreciate!!  Thank you to the awesome housekeepers!!  Being right on the water is magical and the deck offers a very private space to enjoy the surroundings.  So many great little touches - both inside and out - just add so much.  We had stayed here many years ago and loved it. Turned out to be even more enchanting than we remembered.  Thank you so much for offering such a great place!!  This, of course, is not to mention all that the area has to offer - Lucky Catch is the perfect getaway spot!

Just perfect
I'll admit that I wasn't sure what to expect with a one bedroom/one bath cottage for my husband and me, but it was wonderful. The location is great. The stairs not so bad, the view..spectacular. Keuka has always been my favorite lake, and this location was great being close enough to Penn Yan to pick up something from the market if needed in a pinch. The bedroom was a little tight, but once you were in bed you could spend hours just looking at the lake and stars. The kitchen was well appointed. No dishwasher, but that wasn't a big deal for the two of us. The living room was comfortable and the full sized washer and dryer a nice surprise. The shower was tight...like 2ftx2ft tight...but we managed. The best part is the deck. We loved coffees and wine on it while watching the boats speed by. The firepit was awesome to enjoy while watch the shooting stars of Perseid. While we did not bring our cat due to a miscommunication, the owner told us that she would be welcome next time, a huge bonus. Finally, there was such a sense of peace and contentment there that we will definitely be back next year. It was a wonderful getaway.

The booking and on-line check-in process was very easy. The property was well maintained and very clean. We requested an 11 am checkout and were able to enjoy one more hour of the lake before our departure.
