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.
