If this spot is available, book it immediately. It is absolutely incredible. My husband, plus our friends who joined us, all agreed that this was the nicest air bnb we had ever stayed at. The lake frontage is incredible to wake up to. It was well located for a weekend of wine tasting all around Keuka, and was a perfect home base for relaxing and winding down after a jam packed day. The beds were comfy, the showers were hot with great pressure, the kitchen was phenomenal, and the sauna was a nice touch. Jake was proactive with all communication! We would come back for sure, even if we were interested in wineries on another lake. The elevated feel, along with the added touches made for an amazing weekend. Can’t recommend enough!

I can’t express how much we enjoyed this house. The owners obviously approached everything from the renovation to the furnishings and amenities to the smallest details in a thoughtful, practical way. The views were awesome, the beds comfy, the kitchen a pleasure to cook in, the deck perfect to take in the fresh air, lots of books and bright open space in the house…oh! And the sauna! I would love to make an October getaway at this house a yearly tradition. Pitch perfect!

I had a wonderful stay at Jake’s place! The home was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The check-in process was smooth, and staying right at the lake is so peaceful. The house was beautifully designed, comfortable, and well-equipped - from the kitchen essentials, cozy basement games and sauna room to the comfy bed and thoughtful touches like snacks, local guidebook, etc. It is perfect for four adults and two young kids. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

This place is absolutely beautiful. It is extremely clean and updated. You can see a view of the lake from every window. Jake is a responsive host and will quickly respond to any questions. It was a little chilly when we visited so we didn't use the outdoor space, but I could see that being a great space to make a fire and sip a glass of wine. The location was also great. It is a quick drive to get to Hammondsport or Watkins Glen. I hope to come back and stay longer!

Beautiful, spotless stay! The home was super clean & thoughtfully outfitted with quality touches. Bedrooms had comfy beds, great pillows, perfect lighting and extra throws. Bathrooms were VERY clean, fully stocked with paper products, toiletries & soft towels.The kitchen had everything we needed, gorgeous white & rose gold appliances, coffee beans, grinder, decaf and tea. It was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, even oil and spices. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and arrived to a nice bottle of wine and basket of snacks, so appreciated and thoughtful! We loved the family games, many books and several cozy reading nooks.The deck and fire pit (on the beach) have incredible views where we enjoyed watching lake life. So calming; this is where we spent the majority of our time. The yoga room & sauna were quite the bonus! Check in was easy, communication clear and every detail felt intentional. Great hosts! We’d happily stay again & highly recommend!
