Enjoy a first class vacation experience at the recently remodeled Tug Boat Inn. With a stunning view of the lake from the great room on the main floor and only 10 minutes from historic downtown Penn Yan, this beautiful lake home offers a convenient location, central air-conditioning, and upscale, dog friendly accommodations.
The three levels of this cozy cottage provide room to gather together or enjoy a quiet moment on your own. The main entry is on the second floor with only six steps from the parking area for easy loading and unloading. An open landing greets you, providing access to two of the three bedrooms and a full bath, as well as serving as a smart TV entertainment area with a futon for extra sleeping space. One bedroom features a queen bed and a lake view while the other provides a full bed and view to the roadside garden. The third bedroom is located in the newly remodeled lake level suite.
Down one level to the lake, a covered patio serves as an entrance to the new lake level bedroom suite. The suite includes a bedroom with a queen size bed, a bathroom with shower, and a kitchenette with a mini fridge and coffeemaker. The bedroom is steps away from the lake, offering the occupants moonlit vistas and the natural sounds of the lake. From lounging on the patio, guests can step directly onto the grassy lawn which contains lawn chairs for sunning, a fire pit for campfire gatherings, a gas grill, and a set of wide gradual lake steps, making for easy entry into the lake to swim, kayak or play on a variety of water floats. The dock (perfect for star-gazing at night) offers a boat hoist for guests bringing their own boat.
Tug Boat Inn is close to notable Keuka Lake wineries such as Rooster Hill Vineyards, Keuka Springs Vineyard, McGregor Vineyard, and Ravines Wine Cellars. Also nearby is the Switzerland Inn Restaurant, the charming town of Hammondsport, and the Windmill Farm and Craft Market.

By Kaitlin from Webster, New York, Stay: 08/19/2023 - 08/26/2023This property was clean with nice finishes, the beds were very comfortable, and they maximized the space well with sleeper sofas. The location provides access to lots of options and overall we found this to be a great property. However, it was smaller than expected and the lower level was only accessible from outside. The stone steps into the water were so slippery they were very dangerous. All in all, we would not recommend this property for young families. The porch on the main floor is incredible! We spent so much time there.

We had a wonderful time at Tug Boat Inn and Keuka Lake. The property was perfect size and setup for us and our two small dogs. Thanks for the bikes too - that was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again. We didn't want to leave.
By Carolyn from Warren, Pennsylvania , Stay: 06/02/2023 - 06/09/2023The property is well decorated and maintained. The bag of goodies from flpp is a nice touch. The parking is a little tight but there is room on the other side of the road to park. Excellent venue!
By Steven R from Cedar Knolls, NJ, Stay: 07/09/2022 - 07/23/2022
We had an amazing stay at the Tug Boat Inn. We pretty much spent the entire vacation on the porch (when we weren't out on the water). We do have a few minor things. 1. While the Kitchen was well stocked and worked very nicely the Kitchen Knives were extremely dull. Making it difficult to prepare meals. 2. We did have a minor issue with the dock. I rented a 21' pontoon, not realizing that the boat lift and the angle the dock was placed made it difficult for a boating novice to dock the boat. I did manage it with no damage to the boat or dock, but It might be worth a note somewhere. Otherwise the house was Wonderful and we didn't want to leave even after 2 weeks.
By Kamila D, Stay: 10/15/2022 - 10/22/2022
We really enjoyed our stay at Tug Boat. It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. When our sister and brother in law joined us later in the week, they also enjoyed the stay, including their lake level bedroom. Thank you!
By Kenneth B from Hughesville, Pennsylvania, Stay: 06/05/2020 - 06/12/2020Excellent property! Great location. Would definitely stay there again.
By Chad G from Pipersville, Pennsylvania, Stay: 07/11/2020 - 07/18/2020Although a bit smaller then we had expected in person, the property was nicely updated with a strong efficient air conditioning unit, more hot water than you could ever use and a nice big dock with crystal clear water for swimming and enjoying. The excellent sunset views off the beautiful covered porches was an added bonus.
By Elizabeth T from Penfield, New York, Stay: 07/18/2020 - 07/25/2020It was a beautiful home. I only don't give it an excellent because there are a lot of stairs and you have to go outside to get to one of the bedrooms. But, all in all, it is a great vacation home.
By Kenneth B from Hughesville, PA, Stay: 06/05/2020 - 06/12/2020Excellent property! Great location. Would definitely stay there again.
By Patricia S from Fairport, NY,June 2019 Stay
Excellent location, well equipped home. The large porch over looking the lake is fantastic.
By Curt S from Mechanicsburg, PA,June 2019 Stay
this property was lovely. We enjoyed being right on the lake with access to the water, kayaking, sunsets, and the town of Hammondsport. The home was well maintained and comfortable and made our stay feel like home.
By Tom R from Corning, NY, Stay: 07/07/2018 - 07/11/2018Can't wait to return!
This was our second year of summer vacation at the Tug Boat and we look forward to returning again next year.

We loved the lake cottage, it is very comfortable. Enjoyed the dock very much, the view of the sunsets were incredible!!
