WELCOME to Finger Lakes Wine Country and Keuka Lake! This exclusive private home is prepared for your family to relax and enjoy.

The first floor provides a tremendous living room with a fireplace and TV, a fully renovated kitchen, and a dining room with a 10-foot farmhouse dining table and vaulted ceilings. The 3 sets of French doors allow a monumental view of Keuka Lake. No hillside staircases or obstacles detain you from 220 feet of private flat beach and large dock. Our new concrete "sea-wall" extends along the beach with wide custom concrete steps that allow you to walk right into the crystal clear water. The main floor also provides 1 1/2 bathrooms and a new king-size bed in the main level guest room. The 2nd floor features a master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling window views of the lake. Also on the 2nd floor is a Children's room with a loft twin bed and full-sized bed, and a full bath with double sinks.

The giant flat yard allows for families to play volleyball, football, cornhole, and more. Private Parking for 4 vehicles. You're definitely on the wine trail!! Over 20 private wineries and micro-breweries are less then 16 minutes away! The home offers informational brochures for hundreds of vineyards, breweries, additional activities, and bars and restaurants. A tremendously expansive patio with Adirondack chairs and outdoor dining is just steps from the crystal clear water of New York's best-kept secret. Our patio table and benches seats 10+. The house also offers a firepit and market string lights as well as sunbathing loungers. Welcome to your Escape! July to September bookings must be a minimum of 7 days.

Fabulous lakeside getaway
We had a multigenerational family vacation at this lovely and well-appointed lake house. We loved the ever changing views of the lake over the course of the day, the easy access to the water via the dock and beach and the comfortale house with lots of different spaces for gathering and sleeping. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back!

One Major Disappointment
This was our second year in the same rental unit. We had expected to make it three years straight by reserving the same week for next summer. We were terribly disappointed to learn the entire summer of 2025 was already booked. Perhaps because our experience with Florida rentals is that renters in any given time period are almost always given priority for the same period in the following year, we were mildly stunned by our discovery. I do not believe rental reservations should be allowed more than a year in advance. If there is a situation where the owner of the rental unit expects to use the property for a special event of their own the following year, the renters in any given year should be told in advance the property will not be available at the same time the following year. In fact, the renters can even be told the property will be available in two years, although that need not be done. We have, however, seen both such actions taken in Florida.

Beautiful Retreat
We loved the views of Keuka lake. We often had 12 hours of sun and we were able to swim and and use our own kayak many days. The house had ample parking and a large beachfront. Fortunately, my son in law brought us a canopy to allow us some shade on cloudless days. The house was comfortable… we were a large group of mixed ages and prepared food in the kitchen most evenings. Unfortunately there was a power outage (not the owners fault) and we weren’t able to open the majority of the windows which had no screens. But even so, we’ve already booked for next year.

Beautiful house
If you know anything about the Finger Lakes you know how rare a large flat lot with a lot of privacy is and this property has both of those things. The house itself is very clean and decorated really cute. The bedroom on the main floor does not have a ceiling which isn’t an issue if you put the early risers in that room but could be a problem for someone who wants to sleep in as its right off the kitchen and there really is no way to be quiet to not wake up whoever is in that bedroom. My only very minor complaint is that there are no chairs around the fire pit so I would recommend bringing your own. Otherwise this house has everything you need and the owner is very responsive. We locked ourselves out one day and they immediately helped us get back in. Would love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Keuka rental.

Everything was great!
We had a wonderful family vacation here. The house had adequate space for us: 6 adults and 3 children age 5 and under. The yards around the house were level (unlike some FLX properties) and provided stressless play area for our 3 grandchildren to run around. We love this house and all its features. Only a few minor things to be aware of: the bottom floor bedroom with 2 bunks was a good size for our daughter and her husband and 2 children age 3 and under … however, there were NO blinds or blackout curtains on the windows … meaning that 2 young kids awakened at the crack of dawn with the sunlight (one window facing east) and were ready to go! After the 2nd morning, our son-in-law improvised and found enough cardboard to craft a makeshift covering for inside the window. Not a huge issue, but just something to be aware of for those with young children. In fact, we didn’t find that any of the bedrooms had thick window treatments. My wife prefers absolute darkness for a good night’s sleep. We still had a great week! Also, one of the full bathrooms entry is into the eating area. Not a big deal for us, just a little awkward. For any families who prefer an en suite with 100% bathroom privacy, this isn’t possible. Again, not a big deal for our family, but just something to be aware of. The owner was easily accessible during the week when we needed to communicate. We hope to return to this VRBO in the coming years. It was great for us! Thank you!!

Wonderful get away
We had a wonderful time at Birchwood cottage, the decor and the property are beautiful and the access to the lake couldn’t be nicer. From fishing off the dock to watching the sun rise from the patio we made good use of the outdoor spaces. Keuka lake is crystal clear and beautiful. There are a number of wineries within a few minutes drive of the cottage. It does take 20 mins or so to get to a grocery store but all in all it wasn’t that far to get to Penn Yan for these items. We would definitely return again!

Perfect for families!
This house has everything! The large kitchen/living space and large dining table made spending time together inside easy & comfortable. There were board games to play, books to read, and clean cozy furniture to curl up on in the evenings. BUT who could spend much time inside with an outdoor area like that?! The stone beach & shallow water was perfect for our group ages 8-60 but we would definitely recommend swim shoes (some slippery stones). We spent most of our time at Keuka in the water swimming, skipping stones, or out front playing in the large/flat front yard which offers a lot of privacy thanks to the surrounding trees. This property is the perfect mix of togetherness and privacy with different floors, bedrooms spread out just right, and multiple restrooms. Would definitely stay here again!

Birchwood Cottage Review
Great house on Keuka Lake. Rented the cottage for a friends weekend, which this house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of outdoor space with great lake frontage. Dock was a great feature. Boat launch was right down the street as well. Caught a few bass off the dock. House is in good shape. Floors are a little slanted in the kitchen/dining area, but wasn't a concern at all. Overall, I would rent and recommend this cottage.

Great view of the lake
We had to arrive late in the night, around 11pm. Somewhat difficult to find the property because you can't see the house from the road and Google Maps isn't perfectly accurate. The driveway to the house was covered in leaves and didn't look like a real road. I wish there was more signage from the road to the property. Regardless, the stay was great. The house it self was very clean and cozy. The view to the lake was fantastic, especially in the morning and sunset. Great for a staycation. The drive to the town is tedious, ~15 min to get to the coffee shop. But there is a great vineyard just 6 min away. The amenities in the house are great and a perfect VRBO for 2-4 couples.

Birchwood cottage
Lovely cottage. Great swimming and fishing. Rare lot size for a lake front home. Gorgeous farmhouse decorating. If I had one wish, it would be for screens in all the windows and doors to feel the lake breezes and hear the waves and the crickets at night. Air conditioning is sufficient to keep it cool, but it lacks the lake by ambiance.

Birchwood at Keuka
Overall we had a great week at the Birchwood. Very nicely decorated, nice location, nice dock to dock our boat. Great sitting areas outside. Some negatives, the biggest probably being the uneven floor from the living room area to the kitchen/dining. I think everyone in our party tripped a few times, one resulting in a heavy fall. We found no oven mitts (I purchased a couple at the dollar store), no microwave in the kitchen and that was really missed. Instructions said one dishwasher pod for each day of stay but we only had 5. Only had one dish towel that would dry dishes. Outdoor grill was a mess, big grease fire waiting to happen. Had to spend quite a bit of cleaning time. Personally I missed no way to hear the lake early mornings as there were no screens to open windows/doors (but understand the ac issue here).

Beautiful cottage and the location is perfect. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable. We have been staying at kueka for many years but this is the first time staying on the west side and we decided the west is the best! The seaweed is minimal and it’s not muddy. The location is within 15 min of nice restaurants and shopping. Our 2 year old grandson had so much fun. Our vacation was amazing despite the smoke from the fires in Canada. We definitely recommend this property !!

Our experience at Birchwood Cottage and Lakeside was absolute perfection! The property manager was very informative and responsive. The Cottage and the grounds were impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We even changed our plans one day to just stay on location! We enjoyed the quiet and beautiful sunrise and sunset lakeside. If I could give this whole experience an overall rating from 1 to 5, it would receive a solid 100!

We loved this cabin! It was clean, cozy, there was plenty of room for all 6 of us and our 2 dogs. Among the kitchen utensils that were available for us, there were even dog dishes (we did bring our own but we thought it was awesome)!!! Communication was appropriate and accurately described in description. Getting in was easy, buying wood was easily located, the town with restaurants and local shops was only a 1-2 mile drive! I’m totally going to book again in the future, and I highly recommend this lovely cabin to others!
