Sails and Sunsets | Keuka Lake

Location

Description

Sails & Sunsets is located on the east side of Keuka Lake just across the lake from the Bluff.   This is the widest stretch of water on Keuka with panoramic views of the Bluff and all three branches! Located across the lake from the Keuka Yacht Club you can watch the billowing sails during sailboat races. This location offers many activities sure to please everyone. The neighborhood is recognized as a friendly, peaceful, family setting.

Given the favored openness of this lake house you can see beautiful lake views from the living room, the dining area, and also the very well equipped kitchen which offers an expansive lake view. You are surrounded by spectacular lake views whether you are reading or watching TV in the living room, gathering food in the open kitchen, or dining at the cherry table. And the spacious top floor loft is perfect for relaxing or reading.     One can enjoy the incredible beauty of dramatic sunrises AND sunsets from all of these open areas and also from the large upper front deck which is a favorite spot during the daytime and also at night for viewing the stars, moon, and the peacefulness of the lake.

The water gets deep gradually and the pebble beach offers a great place for the children to play and become comfortable swimming and boating. This setting is much loved by children and appreciated by families. Both children and adults love to carefully inspect the beach and collect small treasures waves wash in.

Sails and Sunsets provides high speed Internet and four TVs with ROKU streaming. The walk-out ground level game room offers a large screen TV, a ping pong table and a foosball table. This is perfect for rainy days. There is lots of space for children to play in this open area plus comfortable seating for watching TV.   The tables and chairs in the game room are perfect for enjoying board games and puzzles.   Dog owners and people fishing at odd hours love the fact they can easily exit this game room and gather their gear from the large ground level deck that is just outside the door.    A picnic table on this deck provides space for dining or placement of gear. You can choose the upper sunny deck or the shade offered by this ground level deck, both overlooking the lake.

Two of the bedrooms have been furnished with local Mennonite custom made handcrafted beds and dressers and the master bedroom features a hand hewn lodge pole pine custom bedroom suite made in Sandpoint Idaho.   The bedrooms are large and beautifully furnished with comfort as highest priority.

Sails and Sunsets is located on a very quiet dead end lane. Those of you who enjoy walking will especially take pleasure in taking walks along this level lane which borders the lake.   Parking is on level ground with space for four vehicles. Award winning Weis Winery and the beautiful French winery, Domaine Lesurre, are an easy, very brief walk from Sails and Sunsets.    The Glenn Curtiss Museum is nearby in Hammondsport and the popular Windmill Farm and Craft Market is not far.   Casual lakeside dining is available at the historic Switzerland Inn one mile away.

Two kayaks and necessary life preservers for adults and children are available for use.

We have visited this particular rental in the past and remember they had 2 lounge chairs on the deck. These have been missing the last few times and it would be great to have other seating options on the deck- particularly ones that you could elevate your feet.

Sails and Sunsets is an absolutely beautiful home on the water. The view of the Bluff is out of this world! The house and the amenities made our vacation one to cherish and remember. My family and I are already planning to make a reservation there again next summer. We are also considering renting the cottage for a long weekend this Fall. Sails snd Sunsets is a little piece of Heaven on Earth!

This was our 3rd time renting this vacation home and it was wonderful, as always.

Very roomy, comfy, with great lighting and awesome views. There are plenty of things to do in the area, and it's also a beautiful rental to just stay and relax. The owners are wonderful as well. Very well equipped with all that you need to cook and enjoy your stay. A tv would be a nice addition to one of the downstairs bedrooms.

The house meets all of our vacation needs!

We love Sails and Sunsets and have been staying there for years.

Great place all around.

Beautiful, spacious, well maintained home in a great location, walking distance to two of the best wineries on Keuka and close to Hammondsport.

Great place. It was clean and well stocked. It provided kayaks and life vests which were great. We met the owners and they were so kind. It was walking distance to two wineries. We had a wonderful time.

This was our 17th year at this house. We obviously love it!

Our 27 year experience with Premier Properties never disappoints. The properties are accurately advertised and the add- on fees are justified to have clean well maintained properties and quick responses when needed. The reservation process is efficient.

We had a marvelous time at Sails and Sunsets. The cottage was a perfect size for us and the amenities we're also perfect. We enjoyed the neighbors and having the owners nearby was a plus.

Margaret B from Penfield - Stay Date: 7/22/2017

We had a wonderful time. The house is so comfortable and equipped with everything you need. We loved sitting and looking at the beautiful lake with the marvelous sunsets. I highly recommend staying at Sails and Sunsets!
Jeannine from New York City NY - Stay Date: 7/9/2020

At this property, you can have your cake and eat it too! The location on the lake is perfect for reducing any trip you may need to journey, from a boat ride to your favorite fishing spot to a drive to one of the lakes many wineries, and everything in between. The home is perfect in many other ways as well. It is maintained and always in great shape. The walk out basement comes in handy whether loading the tubing equipment or needing to keep your four legged friend happy. Finally, the views here are the best on the lake. The view of the Bluff is one of the best on the entire lake. I can say that I have made Sails and Sunsets an annual part of every summer with my family. I know you won't be disappointed.

Everyone I dealt with was professional and friendly! This property exceeded our expectations! Beautiful, clean and wonderful view!!! I hope we can come again!
Lori from Douglasville PA - Stay Date: 5/13/2016

This was by far the best house we have ever rented as far as the quality of the home, the cleanliness, upkeep, and overall convenience and setting. There was adequate furniture for the whole family to relax on that was comfortable, clean, and solid. The beds and mattresses were comfy and quiet with no disturbing squeaks or lumps. The kitchen appliances were modern, clean, and worked flawlessly. There was adequate cookware and utensils that were all good quality. The gentle slope to the lake made it very easily accessible, and the gravel beach made it easy for us to use our kayaks every evening. The lake level entrance through the concrete floored basement turned out to be a great convenience, allowing fishing off the dock every dawn and dusk without disturbing the entire house! The parking was level, big enough to load and unload kayaks and gear, and convenient. It was nice to be on the small private lane off the main road, amongst the locals. It made it feel like living in a quiet neighborhood on the lakeshore, unlike a typical commercial rental property. Great fishing in Lake Keuka was a big plus. When we come back, we will definitely arrange to rent this house again! Overall A++ rating!

Just loved the property. Any of your staff that I had contact with from the booking process to the time of departure were professional and helpful and courteous. I would highly recommend Finger Lakes Premier Properties. You do a great job.
