Welcome to Steinnhus, a breathtaking Finger Lakes vacation rental nestled along the desirable East Bluff of Keuka Lake. This extraordinary estate offers a truly unique vacation home experience, featuring three charming stone buildings surrounded by nature’s tranquility and 200 feet of private lakefront. With sweeping lake views, timeless architecture, and modern comforts, Steinnhus is an unforgettable retreat designed for family gatherings, romantic escapes, and peaceful getaways alike.
The name Steinnhus means “Stone House” in old Norse—a fitting title for a property that celebrates craftsmanship, history, and connection to the natural world. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the serene setting, where stone pathways wind through mature trees, colorful gardens, and inviting outdoor spaces that overlook the glistening waters of Keuka Lake.
Step through the doors of the main house and into a spacious, light-filled interior that perfectly balances rustic warmth with modern elegance. The entry foyer opens to an expansive great room featuring architectural details and fine finishes throughout. At its heart stands a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, creating a warm gathering space for guests to enjoy conversation or relax after a day by the water.
The great room flows seamlessly into a gourmet “Cook’s Kitchen,” thoughtfully equipped for the culinary enthusiast. Stainless-steel appliances, abundant counter space, and fully stocked cookware make it easy to prepare anything from casual breakfasts to elegant dinners. An extended farmhouse-style dining table comfortably seats the entire group—ideal for sharing meals, laughter, and stories against a backdrop of dazzling lake views. Large picture windows fill the space with sunlight by day and offer glowing sunset vistas each evening. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a glass of Finger Lakes wine by the fire, every moment here feels effortlessly serene.
The main house features two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The primary suite offers a king-size bed and tranquil lake views, while the second bedroom includes a comfortable queen bed overlooking the gardens. A spa-inspired bathroom with a walk-in stone shower adds a touch of luxury, reflecting the natural textures that make Steinnhus so distinctive.
Just steps away from the main house, the estate’s two guest cottages provide intimate spaces designed for rest and relaxation. The guest studio offers a cozy retreat for two, featuring a queen bed, chaise lounge, and private pergola with a stone patio—perfect for quiet afternoons in the shade or peaceful mornings surrounded by birdsong. This charming space is ideal for couples seeking privacy or guests who prefer their own serene corner of the property.
The second guest house suite expands on this comfort with a king bedroom, inviting living area, custom-built bar, and a luxurious bathroom complete with a walk-in stone shower. This stand-alone space feels like its own small villa, ideal for extended family or friends traveling together who appreciate extra privacy without being far from the main gathering areas.
The outdoor spaces at Steinnhus are just as captivating as its interiors. From the balcony off the main house, enjoy sweeping lake views that stretch across Keuka’s famous “Y” shape—a panorama that shifts beautifully with the seasons. Below, the guest suite’s shaded patio offers another perfect vantage point for reading, relaxing, or enjoying an afternoon beverage. The studio’s pergola, nestled among stone walls and flowering plants, provides yet another peaceful retreat.
A gently sloping staircase leads down to the private lakefront, where a large permanent dock awaits. Spend your days fishing, swimming, or sunbathing on the dock while taking in the soothing rhythm of the waves. With 200 feet of pristine natural shoreline, you’ll have ample space to enjoy the water in complete privacy. Evenings invite leisurely dinners by the lake, where the setting sun paints the sky in hues of pink and gold.
