Description Description
Experience the perfect combination of luxury, space, and lakeside charm at Summer Memories, a remarkable vacation rental on the shores of Keuka Lake. This one-of-a-kind property brings together Summer Haven and Summer Hideaway into a multi-home Finger Lakes estate designed for gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, and celebrating life’s most meaningful moments. Featuring 80 feet of natural lakefront, thoughtfully appointed guest spaces, and expansive outdoor living areas, Summer Memories provides a charming and comfortable lakefront setting, perfect for creating lasting Finger Lakes memories.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by an atmosphere that blends comfort with elegance. The main house is warm and inviting, with vaulted ceilings, skylights that flood the rooms with sunlight, and sweeping views of Keuka Lake through large picture windows. The spacious gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for preparing everything from casual breakfasts to festive dinners, and multiple dining spaces indoors and out make mealtimes a chance for everyone to come together. After a day of boating, wine tasting, kayaking, or hiking, the living room with its cozy gas fireplace and plush seating becomes the perfect gathering place to relax and recount the day’s adventures.

What sets Summer Memories apart is its ability to host groups while still allowing for privacy. Just behind the main home, Summer Hideaway provides a charming retreat with two king bedrooms, each with a private bath, and a comfortable layout designed with southwestern-inspired décor. Guests who prefer something unique will love the Gazebo Suite, a cozy sanctuary with a queen bed and private bath where mornings are greeted by natural light and evenings feel tucked away in serenity. The Guest House expands the accommodations even further with two additional king bedrooms, each paired with its own private bath. Altogether, this Finger Lakes vacation rental offers seven bedrooms across multiple buildings, making it ideal for extended families, multi-generational trips, or friends traveling together who want both connection and space.

Step outside and the beauty of Keuka Lake takes center stage. With 80 feet of natural lakefront, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the water. Spend summer afternoons swimming or sunbathing, launch kayaks for a peaceful paddle, or cast a line right from the dock. The multi-level decks are designed for both relaxation and entertainment, whether you’re savoring a cup of coffee at sunrise, gathering for a lakeside barbecue, or toasting the end of the day with a glass of local Finger Lakes wine around the fire pit as the sun sets over the water. The spacious dock invites boating and water activities, while the wooded yard surrounding the property adds an element of privacy and quiet where you can listen to the sounds of nature and watch for wildlife. From lazy afternoons by the water to lively evenings under the stars, the outdoor spaces at Summer Memories make it easy to embrace the slower pace and beauty of lake life.

The location is just as appealing as the property itself. Nestled in Hammondsport, Summer Memories places you within minutes of the wineries along the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, local breweries, farm-to-table dining, and charming boutique shops. Take a short drive to explore the region’s scenic hiking trails, fish in Cayuga Lake or Seneca Lake, view waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park, go boating on Canandaigua Lake, or enjoy the Finger Lakes’ many cultural attractions, then return to your private retreat on the water. Whether your plans include adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, this home offers the perfect base for your Finger Lakes vacation.

Summer Memories offers more than just a pretty setting; it's all about making unforgettable memories. Whether you’re gathered around the fire roasting marshmallows, enjoying family dinners that stretch into long conversations, or simply sitting on the deck listening to the waves lap against the shore, this Keuka Lake vacation rental makes every moment feel special. Spacious, private, and beautifully designed, it’s the kind of place where you’ll want to return year after year. Your perfect Finger Lakes getaway begins at Summer Memories. Book your stay now and start planning the lakeside vacation of your dreams!

I recently stayed at this Airbnb on Keuka Lake with a group of 12 and our experience was outstanding
The house was perfectly equipped to accommodate all of us comfortably, with ample space and all the amenities we needed. The lakefront location was a highlight, offering stunning views and direct access to the water. We enjoyed swimming in the lake daily, which was both refreshing and fun. The location was ideal, allowing us to easily explore nearby attractions. We took short drives to Watkins Glen State Park and Ithaca, both of which offered fantastic activities and beautiful scenery. Overall, this property provided a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, making it a memorable getaway for our group. Highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking to enjoy Keuka Lake and its surroundings!

This was our families second trip to Summer Memories. It was as wonderful as we remembered from 4 years ago. We hope to visit again soon!

Our family gets together every year and Summer Memories was by far the best property that we have rented. We will definitely be keeping it at the top of our list for next year.

It was a beautiful, spacious and very well maintained and equipped house for our yearly tradition of renting on lovely Lake Keuka. We have been on this property the last 3 years.

My extended family was extremely impressed with the lake house. Believe me, if there was something wrong, they are not afraid to complain. You received a 100% satisfaction from all. We really enjoyed our stay and our only regret was that it was too short! The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. Found every single utensil, pot, dish, bowl we were looking for in any size you could ask for.

This is our vacation home...we have 5 grown children who are all married with several grand children...these two houses fit our needs perfectly and we feel right at home. The additional large pots and pans and serving items were especially appreciated. We rented this two years ago and then again this summer...we will definitely look to rent this same house next time we are up to the Finger Lakes (every other year). This is a perfect beach set up."
