By Lindsey from Concord, Ohio , Stay: 09/21/2023 - 09/24/2023Great girls weekend
Property was just as stated. Roomy and had everything we needed. Beautiful beach and view. Access to kayaks, which was fantastic! Property manager was easily accessible, very friendly, and helpful with anything we needed! Would absolutely recommend. House is also very central to several small towns and wineries which was a big plus.
By Jennifer from State College, Pennsylvania, Stay: 06/08/2023 - 06/11/2023Wakiva Esperenza exceeded our expectations. The cottage and boathouse had great amenities. We came to the area to relax and try breweries and can’t wait to return.
By Teri from Marietta, Ohio, Stay: 06/26/2022 - 07/02/2022Great views
Wonderful views from the deck. Enjoyed coffee each morning from the deck. Well stocked kitchen and hot tub was nice after a day of exploring. The neighboring Aussie was a bonus! Would recommend!
By Kelly from Hallam, Pennsylvania, Stay: 05/27/2023 - 05/29/2023Perfect getaway

By Eugene M from Chester, New Jersey, Stay: 08/16/2020 - 08/23/2020Cozy, private lakeside cabin with large beach area and plenty of recreational amenities. Perfect for two couples or a small family.

By Tricia & Matthew S from Cleona, Pennsylvania, Stay: 06/28/2020 - 07/05/2020This property sits in a beautiful, serene setting and is very relaxing and enjoyable. The lake front area is exceptionally well developed and allows for the entire family to enjoy lake front activities and relaxing around the fire pit. There are so many water toys and other amenities available to use that there is never a dull moment. The owners, who live next door, are very friendly and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay.
By James B from Fairport, New York, Stay: 07/19/2020 - 08/02/2020A great property, great location and wonderful owners/neighbors.
By Martha R,October 2019 Stay
We had a great vacation, the house was what we expected, the neighbors were friendly and helpful, the beach area has a firepit that we enjoyed and the lake itself was so peaceful, Great areas to walk. A lot of nice wineries and places of interest close by. We highly recommend this place.
By Patricia S,September 2019 Stay
Beautiful view, bedrooms and common areas comfortable. It had everything we needed. Due to the weather we did not use the hot tub, but will next time. The owners were great hosts.
By Paula C from Canton, OH, Stay: 10/19/2018 - 10/21/2018Views of lake were perfect!
Great location; amazing view of Keuka Lake.
By Megan B from Cherry Hill, Stay: 08/25/2018 - 09/02/2018Cozy vacation home
My family (consisting of me, my husband, two active boys and two dogs) thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house was so clean and comfortable. The lake access was so convenient. The hot tub felt great after a long day of hiking and playing. It was our first time visiting the area and the owners, Lynda and Rolf were a great wealth of knowledge on what to see and where to go! We spent time fishing off the dock, kayaking, hiking and playing basketball at the house. Spent time exploring Penn Yan, Watkins Glen and Naples, all a short drive away. Keuka Lake State Park is in walking distance from Wakiva Esperanza and was the cleanest state park with awesome trails and a great playground. I would definitely recommend!
By Luke R from Staten Island, NY, Stay: 05/08/2018 - 05/09/2018May 2018 Review
Very good overall experience. The reservation agents were very helpful. Beautiful property and very relaxing!
By Samantha T from Muncy, Stay: 10/07/2017 - 10/09/2017October 2017 Stay
Had a wonderful stay at Wakiva Esperanza. It was my first trip to Keuka. Will not be my last. House was just as described in the listing. Hot tub was great. We even went for a night time swim in October! Rolf and Lynda were very nice and showed us how to use the tram to get down to the lake. We brought our boat and were able to launch at the state park. Also able to park the truck and trailer there for the weekend. Very convenient. The driveway is very steep but both of our cars were able to get out. Everyone had a great weekend. Thanks again!
By Kathi from new Hartford ny,Absolutely Beautiful! The pictures do not do this home justice! We had a great girls weekend and Lynda & Rolf are wonderful hosts. They have an awesome dog Ajax who loves doggie treats. We will be back.
