Great place. Had 3 90+ year olds who needed lamps to navigate in the middle of the night. All else was wonderful!

The Gilbert House was one of the best vacation rentals our family has stayed at. It met all our needs as far as amount of bedrooms and bathrooms for a group of 9. The kitchen was well stocked with essential cooking equipment and plenty of cabinet storage. Being able to use 2 family rooms was much appreciated by our family. Outside the large dock and gradual beach area allowed our family to enjoy their water activities. Overall our stay at the Gilbert House allowed our family to enjoy our week at Keuka Lake.

Top notch Property
We have rented the Gilbert Lake house twice now and would return in the future. The home is spacious and has everything needed for a for an extended stay. The outside seating and recreation area is the best we have found on Keuka Lake. Parking and access is easy and home is close to Hammondsport. The Gilbert Lake house dock and swimming area is simply fantastic! A great place for my family members to meet and have a great time. My thanks to the Gilbert family for making their home available to rent.

The Gilbert House was a wonderful place for our family gathering, which included our children and their families.  The large dock was great for hanging out by the lake and there were plenty of outdoor chairs!    The bedrooms were very nice.  We enjoyed the large family room with TV and Pool Table.  The kitchen had lots of place settings, cooking utensils and appliances (toaster, crockpot, blender, etc.).  The pots and pans were high quality, the best I’ve seen in a rental!!  This made cooking a pleasure!    We enjoyed swimming in the lake.  The dock have us easy access and my grandchildren enjoyed the beach area!    We were very happy to find and stay at The Gilbert House!!!!

Finger Lakes Getaway

The Gilbert house was the perfect location to celebrate a good friend's upcoming wedding with several friends. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The property had a beautiful view of the lake and provided ample opportunities for fishing, swimming, and relaxing.
