Keuka Cove House | Lake Views
Welcome to the Keuka Cove House — a beautifully reimagined 1894 lakefront colonial on the shores of Keuka Lake, just minutes from downtown Penn Yan and Finger Lakes Wine Country. Perfect for families, reunions, and group getaways, this historic property offers the charm of a bygone era with the comfort and amenities of a modern lakeside retreat.
Once known as The Hart-Scott, the Keuka Cove House has been lovingly restored and refreshed, offering timeless architectural character, wrap-around porches, hardwood floors, and cozy gathering spaces — all designed for creating lasting Finger Lakes memories.
✨ Property Highlights
Historic Elegance, Modern Comfort – Restored 1894 architecture meets updated kitchens, luxurious bathrooms, and stylish furnishings.
Spacious Group-Friendly Layout – Sleeps up to 16 guests across 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including the main lakeside unit and two private side units under one roof.
Chef’s Kitchens – Fully stocked with large islands, stainless appliances, and everything you need for shared meals and entertaining.
Private Lakefront Access – Enjoy 20 feet of Keuka Lake shoreline with a dock, swim deck, and kayaks for guest use.
Boathouse Lounge (In Progress) – A breezy retreat right by the water featuring a bar, fridge, grill, and lounge seating for days spent lakeside.
Outdoor Spaces – Firepit, Adirondack chairs, gardens, and expansive porches perfect for morning coffee or sunset wine.
Family & Pet-Friendly – Thoughtfully appointed for multi-generation stays with flexible spaces and all the comforts of home.
🏠 Layout & Design
Main House (Lakeside Unit): 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large living room, and a full chef’s kitchen overlooking the lake.
Two Side Units: Each features a private entrance, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a kitchenette — ideal for couples or families seeking a bit of extra privacy.
All three spaces are connected internally, creating a seamless layout that allows for togetherness or quiet retreat when needed.
🌅 Experience Keuka Lake
Step out to your private lakefront and savor life by the water. Swim from the dock, kayak along the shoreline, or unwind on the porch as sailboats drift by. Evenings invite stargazing by the firepit or wine tastings from one of 30+ nearby wineries and breweries.
Located just a short drive from Keuka College, the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, and Keuka Lake State Park, this home is the ideal base for exploring all that the Finger Lakes has to offer — from waterfall hikes to vineyard tours.
