Sails & Sunsets is a beautiful Finger Lakes vacation rental located on the east side of Keuka Lake, directly across from the Bluff. This vacation home offers one of the widest stretches of water on the lake, providing panoramic views of the bluff and all three branches of Keuka Lake. With such a prime lakefront location, guests enjoy a perfect blend of relaxing scenery and endless opportunities for area activities.
The gently deepening water along the shoreline makes this property ideal for families with young swimmers, and the small beach offers a safe and fun spot for children to play. The lawn is a “barefoot lawn,” free of chemicals, inviting guests to kick off their shoes and feel the cool green grass beneath their feet. This quiet cove attracts local wildlife, including bald eagles that frequent the area, creating a serene natural setting for your vacation.
For those who enjoy outdoor exercise, the quiet country road behind the cottage leads uphill for two miles to the stunning Silsbee Road Overlook, a breathtaking vantage point offering some of the best views of Keuka Lake. During the fall, this walk is especially enchanting as you pass by vineyards heavy with ripe grapes. The peaceful lake road is also ideal for leisurely strolls, and nearby Penn Yan features the Keuka Outlet Trail, a beautiful spot for biking, hiking, or cross-country skiing in winter.
Sails & Sunsets provides a perfect balance of activity and relaxation. Inside, the home offers wireless internet and two TVs equipped with ROKU streaming devices, so you can enjoy your favorite shows and movies even during quiet evenings or rainy days. The home is thoughtfully decorated with a cozy holiday spirit, featuring a decorated tree from Thanksgiving through New Year’s, making it a welcoming spot for festive gatherings.
The walk-out basement opens to a spacious lower deck measuring 25 by 50 feet. This large indoor space serves as a playroom with a ping pong table, an extra futon, and a table and chairs for board games, offering plenty of entertainment for guests of all ages. Outdoors, two decks provide options for sun or shade, both located just steps from the lake’s edge.
Every room in Sails & Sunsets is elegantly furnished, with many handcrafted pieces by local Mennonite artisans. The bedrooms prioritize comfort, featuring top-quality Beauty Rest mattresses. One bedroom showcases a hand-hewn lodge pole pine bedroom suite from the Northwest, adding rustic charm. A semi-private loft includes a queen-size Beauty Rest futon and scenic lake views, as well as an antique table and chairs for quiet moments of relaxation.
The Keuka Yacht Club sits directly across the lake, and guests can enjoy watching sailboat races on summer weekends. The area offers plenty of nearby attractions, including the charming villages of Hammondsport and Penn Yan, Watkins Glen State Park, the Windmill Farm and Craft Market, Mennonite-operated produce stands, and museums like the Glenn Curtiss Museum of Aviation and the Corning Museum of Glass. Golf enthusiasts can find courses within a short drive, while Watkins Glen International Race Track and State Park are just 30 minutes away.
Parking is available for up to four vehicles, and the property allows two dogs, making it an excellent choice for families and pet lovers seeking a lakefront vacation home in the Finger Lakes region. The 50 feet of natural lake frontage includes a 3-by-50-foot dock, though boats longer than 19.5 feet are not permitted. The level lot offers easy access to the lake via 12 steps, and water comes from a filtered and treated lake source.
