About this house rental
This lovely vacation home on Keuka Lake is the perfect spot for your group of 12, not only during your summer getaway, but also during the spring, fall, and winter! Pleasant Bay has private lakefront....a great summer spot for enjoying the water, kayaking, and boating! But this is also the perfect spot to stay in the quieter seasons....Pleasant Bay boasts a large hot tub on the deck overlooking the lake and with easy, year-round access to the home, you'll want to stay here in cooler weather as well!
Pleasant Bay is tucked into a little cove area, by two marinas, right at the top of Keuka Lake's west branch. The water here is more shallow than other parts of the lake(along with the shallow, warmer water, you may encounter lilypads and lake grasses). The view from the house extends across the water to Keuka's famed Bluff.
The main floor of the house has an open floor plan with the Kitchen, Dining, and Living Room all open to each other. Walking in the main entry door from the back porch, you'll enter the fully stocked kitchen with an eat-in island, bar height dining table and Living room with a gas fireplace, large screen smart TV and wall to wall glass doors looking out over Keuka Lake and that walk out on to the large porch and lake beyond.
There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor. The Master bedroom is quite spacious with a King size bed and windows facing out over the lake. Bedroom 2 has two sets of Twin bunks. There is a Full bath located on the Main Floor with a tub/shower.
On the second floor, you'll find a open landing area that overlooks the Living Room cathedral area. This sitting area has sofa and is a great spot to use as a reading nook. The upstairs bedroom is spacious as well and has a King size bed. The upstairs bathroom is a full bath with a walk in shower. The washer and dryer are also located in this upstairs bathroom.
Downstairs, in the lower level basement area, is a Family room which can double as the 4th Bedroom. The Family room area has a futon and lounge area along with a large screen TV. The other half of the Family Room has a comfortable King size bed for sleeping 2 persons.
Pleasant Bay has a large yard for getting outside, playing yard games and allowing children to explore outside. Wrapped around the front of the house, toward the water, is a deck/porch with outdoor dining table/chairs and comfortable outdoor sitting area. A smaller, attached deck (with a privacy wall)is where you'll find the hot tub located. The yard slopes gently onto the lakeshore and there is a large dock with a sitting area, and a gas firepit, at the end of the dock. The dock does have cleats for tying up your boat. The house is located next door to a marina if you are unable to bring your own boat, you can always rent one from the marina!

Great location with beautiful home. Plenty of room for everyone, we did not feel like we were crammed in or on top of each other
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2024
Beautiful location and wonderful house. The first floor and second floor fit our needs perfectly. We did need to call for some help with TV and internet. Internet was resolved within an hour of our arrival. Maintenance arrived next day at 3 as we requested. Ben was great. He helped us with TV and minor lamp issue. It was a great time away for all of us.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2024
Lovely home, with super comfortable beds, great location, and equipped house. We enjoyed the home immensely, as it was comfortable, had a fully equipped kitchen, provided linens and towels, and a most-excellent hottub! Great for large groups, but the basement sleeping area was a bit musty. The upper rooms were all excellent!
The location is easy access to Penn Yan and convenient to marinas to rent a boat. While the listing says, "enjoy the water" and has images of a lily-free beach, the beach is full of water lilies and grasses so it is not possible to walk into the lake for swimming. This is not a good place to rent with young children expecting to go in the water!
The end of the dock also has a swimming area, where the adults and older children swam, (there are tall water grasses there that touch your legs). If you don't care for grasses, it was also extremely easy to use the provided paddleboards and kayak to go out to the sandbar "(less than 5 minutes rowing) where it was grass-free and less than 3 feet deep.
The backyard is fenced and flat, so we were able to play outdoor games like badminton, enjoyed using the grill on the front porch with the large outdoor table, and had a great evening around the waterfront firepit.
Overall, a great location and home!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
Spacious and wonderful layout with great views. Overall good stay.
House was not as clean as it should have been ( hot tub, dishes) for such a strict check in check out process and someone was at house until 430 upon checking in at 4.
Pictures show a swimmable water front but it is not properly maintained and a huge disappointment for entire family that we could not swim or enter water off yard or dock due to an abundance of water weeds. Would never have booked if I knew we weren't able to enjoy the lake like we had planned.
