Star Cove offers a tranquil lakefront escape on Keuka Lake, perfect for couples or small groups seeking a mix of relaxation, comfort, and Finger Lakes adventure. With two bedrooms, one bathroom, and just steps from the water, this cozy retreat combines modern amenities with serene lakefront charm. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of Keuka Lake, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere that brings the beauty of the water indoors.

Inside, the open-concept kitchen and dining area provides everything you need to prepare meals with ease. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking at home, whether you’re enjoying a casual breakfast or a leisurely dinner. This stylish vacation rental features modern coastal decor with a relaxed lake house twist, featuring a soft neutral color palette and natural wood tones throughout. Large windows allow you to watch the sun glint off the lake as you cook or sip a glass of local Finger Lakes wine while dining with friends. The living area features comfortable seating and a wet bar, creating a cozy spot to unwind after a day of exploring nearby wineries, hiking trails, or boating adventures. The expansive lake views make every moment spent indoors feel connected to the water, allowing you to relax while taking in the serene surroundings.

The conveniently located full bathroom features a stand-up shower, providing comfort and privacy for all guests. Every detail of Star Cove has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting retreat, making it an ideal choice for a romantic getaway or a quiet lakeside vacation with friends.

Step outside and enjoy some of the property’s most appealing features. A wraparound deck provides a perfect spot for morning coffee while watching the sun rise over the water or for evening stargazing as the lake reflects the sky. Just five steps lead to the lake, giving you direct access for swimming, kayaking, or simply sitting on the shoreline and soaking in the peaceful surroundings. While docking for larger boats may vary with water levels, the property’s private lakefront is perfect for small boats, fishing, or paddling across the calm waters.
Star Cove’s location also offers easy access to the best of the Finger Lakes region. The home is just minutes from award-winning wineries such as McGregor Vineyards and Ravines Wine Cellar, making it a prime destination for wine enthusiasts. A short drive takes you to Hammondsport, voted one of the coolest small towns in America, where you can explore charming shops, local restaurants, and historic sites. Outdoor adventurers will appreciate nearby hiking trails, boating opportunities, and scenic drives, all within a few minutes of this peaceful lakeside retreat. Spend leisurely afternoons fishing in Cayuga Lake, enjoy a day trip to Ithaca to view historic colleges and sites, hike the gorge trail to a dozen waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park, or pack a picnic lunch and bask in the sun on the shores of Seneca Lake. The possibilities are endless!

With 55 feet of natural lakefront, a gradual slope, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, Star Cove balances comfort with connection to the water. Whether you’re starting your day with coffee on the deck, enjoying a cold beverage while watching the sunset, or taking a refreshing dip in Keuka Lake, this Finger Lakes vacation rental offers a quiet escape that keeps the region’s beauty front and center.

The property itself was a perfect balance of value and fairly well equipped with everything you'd expect. A lovely lake. A fair price. A charming house. A great location, and very nice neighbors.

We love Star Cove and respect it so. Even though I miss a washer and dryer. Be back next year! Hopefully with more improvements.

Nice property right over the water. Great views and location. We had a few very clear nights with more stars than I've ever seen. I even saw the milky way. The cargo elevator was a life saver. Management did a great job helping us with a small issue in a timely manner. There was an event on the lake where we got to see seaplanes take off and land. Loved the location very close to Hammondsport. Overall, a fantastic stay. Would recommend.

Paradise Getaway

Our only glitch was trying to unlock door upon our arrival. We tried about 30 times with passcode given. After contacting someone, it eventually worked. All was forgiven once we entered the door! The place was very well-equipped. Most of our time was spent enjoying the spectacular views from the deck. We only visited a couple wineries ( which were fabulous), however, we were always wanting to go back to the house and spend our time there. My husband and I went with our daughter and son-in-law. We all kept saying how relaxed we were and did not want to leave! We definitely want to stay more than 3 nights next time.

Perfect Location

This place was the perfect location. The deck hangs over the water and between the deck and the dock there is plenty of seating to soak in the beauty of Keuka Lake. We barbecued a few times and it is a perfect set up for enjoying a meal on the lake. We went over to Watkins Glen to the State Park to see the gorge(25-30 minutes away) and Ithaca (1 hour) to see some additional falls. It was great having the 2 kayaks which we put many miles in along the shore. The dummy elevator to bring your things down was working and is a godsend giving the amount of stairs. The only negative would be the shower/bathroom is small, but, who really cares when you are at such a great location. If it is not booked when we are looking to travel next year, we will be back!

Serene lake house

This rental was exactly as pictured and described. Beautiful and clean! The back deck was right on the lake making fishing easy and fun. Relaxation was no problem as it was extremely quiet. Near many vineyards and not far from Seneca at all. We would definitely go back in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!!

Christa P from Weatherly, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 9/12/2022

Thank you very much for taking the time to rate us 5/5 stars! We are thrilled to hear you you would definitely come back and also recommend the rental to anyone.

Our family had a wonderful time at Star Cove. The location couldn't have been better, directly on the water and close to wineries and Hammondsport. The house itself was very well done, clean and nicely decorated. We spent most of our time on the deck and in the Adirondack chairs on the dock. We enjoyed the kayaks that were available for our use. It was the perfect vacation. We'd definitely come back!

This was our first time to the beautiful NY Finger Lakes. We lucked out finding Star Cove on Keuka Lake - quiet residential area, wonderful large deck overlooking the lake. Although there are 40 stairs from parking to the house, there is a lift to take luggage/bags from the parking level to the front door. Easy location to get to area state parks, wineries, breweries and creameries on Keuka, Senaca & Cayugo lakes. Wonderful vacation memories.
