With a name that says it all, Our Happy Retreat invites you to experience a Finger Lakes vacation filled with comfort, connection, and joy. Located on the desirable east side of Keuka Lake and just minutes from downtown Penn Yan, this spacious lakefront vacation home is designed for families and friends seeking both relaxation and adventure. With six bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, a hot tub, and 93 feet of private lakefront, it offers the ideal combination of comfort and classic Finger Lakes charm for your next getaway.

As soon as you arrive, the warmth and character of this beautifully maintained colonial-style home make you feel instantly welcome. The large driveway provides easy parking for multiple vehicles, and mature trees surround the property, creating a private and peaceful setting. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a bright, open foyer that sets the tone for what’s to come—comfortable living, thoughtful design, and stunning lake views throughout.

The kitchen at Our Happy Retreat is the true heart of the home, perfectly designed for both everyday meals and special gatherings. Fully equipped with cooking and baking essentials, it features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and an oversized island with seating for four. The island quickly becomes the favorite spot for morning coffee, afternoon snacks, or evening conversation while dinner is being prepared. Whether you’re whipping up pancakes before a day on the water or hosting a chef-inspired dinner with local ingredients from the Windmill Farm and Craft Market, this kitchen makes every meal feel like a shared event.

Just beyond the kitchen, the dining area offers a large wooden table with seating for eight, perfectly positioned for family-style meals and celebrations. Windows along the wall let in soft natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages long conversations and laughter. For an extra-special experience, consider arranging for a local chef or sommelier to craft a private tasting menu or wine-pairing dinner—a unique way to savor the best of the Finger Lakes right from the comfort of your own vacation home.

The adjacent living room is a cozy, elegant space where everyone naturally gathers. Neutral tones, plush sofas, and a gas fireplace create the perfect setting for relaxing with a good book or watching a movie together. Large picture windows showcase the glimmering waters of Keuka Lake, while sliding glass doors lead directly to the wraparound deck. From sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails, the deck offers an ever-changing view of the water and is sure to become a favorite hangout spot during your stay.

The main level also includes a comfortable queen bedroom with private access to the lakeside deck, allowing guests to wake to the gentle sound of the lake just outside. A quiet den with a sleeper sofa doubles as a private sleeping space or reading nook—ideal for guests seeking a bit of solitude.

Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms, each designed with comfort in mind. The master suite faces north, offering expansive lake views and its own ensuite bathroom with a tiled shower and jetted tub. The room also includes a twin sleeper sofa, making it perfect for families traveling with young children. Two additional bedrooms with king beds and another with a queen ensure that everyone has a cozy space to unwind at the end of the day.

The lower level adds even more versatility and fun. Here, a sixth bedroom with twin beds provides additional sleeping space, while the game room invites friendly competition with foosball and air hockey. It’s a fantastic space for kids, teens, or anyone who enjoys a little extra playtime after dinner.

Just across East Lake Road, your private lakefront awaits. With 93 feet of natural shoreline, a seasonal dock, and space for lounging and swimming, this stretch of Keuka Lake is ideal for both adventure and relaxation. Spend your mornings fishing off the dock, your afternoons floating in the water, and your evenings watching the sun reflect off the surface as the day winds down.

Back at the house, the backyard is designed for relaxation and togetherness. A bubbling hot tub and fire pit create the perfect combination for unwinding under the stars. Toast marshmallows, share a bottle of local wine, and let the peaceful sounds of the lake set the rhythm for your evening. Whether you’re swapping stories or simply soaking in the moment, these are the memories that make Our Happy Retreat truly live up to its name.

When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find some of the Finger Lakes’ best attractions close at hand. Just minutes away, Penn Yan offers boutique shopping, farm-to-table dining, and family-friendly spots like Amity Coffee for your morning pick-me-up. Wine enthusiasts can visit nearby favorites including Rooster Hill Vineyards, Keuka Spring Vineyards, and Barrington Cellars—all located within a short scenic drive. Many local wineries host live music and seasonal events, pairing their award-winning wines with panoramic lake views and a welcoming community atmosphere.

If you venture 20 minutes south, you’ll reach the charming village of Hammondsport, often called “America’s Coolest Small Town.” Here, you can browse local shops, enjoy lakeside dining, or visit the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum to learn about the area’s rich aviation history. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to love as well, from hiking trails and waterfalls to boating and paddleboarding on the water.
