About this property
Fall in love with Keuka at Keuka Kara
Enjoy Keuka Lake on a 149 foot natural shale private beach, large dock for fishing or lakeside entertaining, sleeps up to 18 and has plenty of parking. Keuka Kara has been on the banks of Keuka Lake for 157 years. She is like no other cottage.
This bright, fully renovated home sits directly on the beach, and features plenty of 7 bedrooms, 6 baths, and a gorgeous view of Keuka Lake.
The main entryway leads into a 3,700 square foot open floor plan. On the main floor are the fully furnished kitchen, the bright and spacious living room, and 2 master bedrooms each connected to a full bathroom. Both bedrooms have balconies to capture the serenity of Keuka Lake.
Upstairs, additional sleeping space is available in 4 bedrooms: one with 2 double beds, one with 2 sets of bunk beds ( perfect for youngsters), and 2 master suites (one king and one queen). The two master suite bedrooms have access to the massive deck with gorgeous views of the lake.
We provide linens and towels.
On the road level there is a great room with a modern fully stocked kitchen, dining area overlooking the lake and sitting area by large screen TV.
Outside, 4 decks await, offering a beautiful view of Keuka Lake, as well as two large grills and a variety of Adirondack, and dining seating.
The property sits directly on a 149 foot stretch of private beach, complete with 2 fire pits, ( one wood and one propane) and a permanent dock with additional bench seating.
Keuka Kara has cable TV, WiFi, and is conveniently located a short drive from everything Keuka Lake has to offer.

The house was amazing! Great view from every room and bedroom in the house and a fun yard/lake front space outside. Well stocked kitchen and nice amenities.
Keuka Kara was perfect for our sibling getaway. Plenty of room and rooms, gorgeous view of the lake and all the amenities needed - didn’t have to bring a thing! Easy open and close and host was extremely nice! Will definitely rent again.
This house is absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. The views were stunning and the house was extremely clean and modern. The beds were the most surprising as they were as comfortable as your own bed in your home. The host was very responsive. Definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed staying at Keuka Kara! Everyone in our family loved the location, the privacy, hanging out on the dock and multiple decks to enjoy the view. All of the amenities of the house made for an easy, relaxing vacation. We had a 60th wedding anniversary celebration with family and the house was well equipped to host a beautiful dinner. Would love to stay here again!
We visited for a bachelorette party. The house was perfect for a large group. We love having little spaces to go for quiet time and of course the great room for being together.
Great spacious house kept 16 people comfortable and well entertained on a rainy April weekend. Host was very responsive pre and during stay for any questions we had. Five stars! Would recommend!
Great property. Lots of room, huge dock to hang out on. Sue was great with any questions. Parking was a little tight but ended up parking down the road.
Lovely property, well cared for, excellent location
Our family of 12 stayed for a week and had a wonderful visit. All the bedrooms accommodated us well and the gathering space on the main floor allowed for us all to eat meals and spend time together. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and the house was very clean upon our arrival. The location can't be beat. We docked our boat for the week and it was a very sturdy, well cared for dock. Would love to stay again!
This was a beautiful property with all of the perks! Our bride and groom were highly satisfied. The water was a huge hit ! Great for fishing, kayaking etc. The view was unbeatable. Everything was readily available in the home! Thanks for a great stay!!!
We loved the house! It had everything we needed and then some. The rooms were open and allowed for our group of 12 to relax, dine or just hangout on one of the many decks. The decor was pleasantly not cluttered. The house is located between Hammondsport and Penn Yan; lots of wineries near by. We had a great dinner at the Mansion and lunch at the Weiney. Do t miss Watkins Glen.
Our family had the most amazing time at Keuka Kara! It is a beautiful home that is outfitted with all you need for a wonderful stay on Keuka lake. We were able to enjoy the beautiful views on the dock and multiple decks. Between the two fridges and two grills we had no problem cooking for our family of 12, and were able to comfortably sit around the table. Susan was responsive and helped answer all questions we had during our stay. Already looking forward to our next trip to Keuka Kara!
Our trip to Keuka Kara was wonderful. We are grateful and thankful to the owner of Keuka Kara as she was very willing to let this large family from all over the US congregate there, and she was helpful throughout our stay in communications with us.
There are so many positives with this cottage:
- a well appointed kitchen with lots of room for a large crowd
-kayaks, paddle boat to keep everyone happy
-graduated entry into the lake for the younger children to play in
-Decks on all 3 levels of the cottage to over look the lake
-many lawn chairs available to have around the 2 fire pits
-a great dock to Moore your boats
-a float to swim or kayak out to
This is a great cottage for friends and family gatherings
We definitely recommend it!
Our extended family of 12 enjoyed a relaxing week on Keuka Lake. The house was right on the lake, and we enjoyed kayaking and paddle boating, as well as the fire pit and corn hole. There are numerous wineries to visit nearby, as well as excellent ice cream. The house was fairly well stocked and came with some unexpected amenities such as trash bags and laundry detergent. Our only complaints were that the kitchen could use a large cutting board and some bedrooms had neither a dresser nor a closet, so we lived out of a suitcase for the week. Overall a great stay!
This house was perfect for our getaway bachelorette party for my best friend and 10 other girls. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the common area was also large enough for us to spend most of our time there eating, drinking, playing games, and just spending time together (when we were not out tasting all of the wine, of course!). There was a glitch in the VRBO site stating that the property check out time was noon in two places but then on the day of check out, I saw there was another place that said 10:00 a.m. Sue was very understanding and allowed us to stay until noon, and any other questions I had during my stay were responded to within minutes. 10/10 - Highly recommend.
Keuka Kara is the perfect house for large groups! The most spectacular view of Keuka Lake from a lovely large great room! The kitchen has everything you could possibly want or need for entertaining. The bedding was top notch and comfortable! Sue provided items that are not usually provided in many rentals, such as soaps, toiletries, linens and many pantry products for cooking and storage. My group has been coming to the Finger Lakes for many years and I have to say that this property is the perfect property for us! The location is fantastic, the rooms are large and furnished tastefully, individual heating and cooling in each bedroom, and loads of other amenities. I do however agree with what a previous reviewer mentioned in their review, that the lack of a dresser or closet or anything to hang clothes on in two of the bedrooms was very inconvenient. Also, a mirror was missing in one of the bathrooms and not replaced. Any questions we had were responded to promptly. All in all, we had a great three day stay with the exception of Mother Nature was not in the mood for sunshine! We will definitely rent this wonderful property again and hope for great weather next year to go along with this great house! Thank you Sue.
Our group really enjoyed this beautiful home. We cooked in the spacious and well stocked kitchen, and there was plenty of seating for all. We appreciated the thoughtfully pre-stocked items like hand soaps, cleaning items, and spices. Thank you!
We got answers to all our questions. Location of the house is great. View of the lake is stunning. Check in and check out very smooth. Thank you for making our stay pleasant.
