ABOUT THE PROPERTY
The Keuka Cove House is designed for groups who want to gather together without feeling crowded. The home comfortably sleeps 16 guests across 8 bedrooms and offers 4.5 bathrooms, multiple kitchens, spacious living areas, expansive porches, lake views, outdoor gathering spaces, and private lakefront access with dock use.
Originally built in 1894, the home blends restored historic charm with modern comfort. It is ideal for family gatherings, wedding weekends, reunions, wine trips, Keuka College visits, and group getaways.
The property is always private and never shared. When you book the Keuka Cove House, your group has exclusive use of the home, outdoor spaces, lakefront area, and dock.
LAYOUT & DESIGN
One of the most unique features of the Keuka Cove House is its flexible four-space layout. The property functions as one large home, while still giving guests the ability to spread out into more private sleeping and living areas.
The main house offers the largest shared gathering spaces, including comfortable living areas, dining space, a full kitchen, lake-facing porches, and several bedrooms.
The additional private spaces/units provide separate sleeping areas, private bathrooms, kitchenette-style convenience, and added flexibility for couples, grandparents, families with kids, or guests who prefer a quieter place to retreat at the end of the night.
Each of the four units has its own private entrance with keyless entry, giving guests added convenience and flexibility throughout the stay. The spaces are also connected and designed to function together as one cohesive home, making it easy for your group to gather, move between areas, and enjoy the property together.
This setup makes the home especially well suited for large groups that want both shared spaces for meals, games, coffee, wine, and lake time, plus private areas where guests can unwind, sleep comfortably, and have their own space.
FLEXIBLE STAY OPTIONS
The Keuka Cove House is primarily designed and priced as a full-property rental for larger groups who want exclusive use of the home, lakefront, dock, outdoor spaces, and all four private units.
That said, the flexible four-unit layout can also work well for smaller groups depending on the season, availability, and the type of stay you are planning. If your group does not need access to every sleeping area, please send an inquiry through Vrbo before booking and share a little about your group size, preferred dates, and sleeping arrangement needs.
The property is still rented to only one group at a time, so your stay remains private and never shared with another reservation. Depending on availability, we may be able to discuss a layout that better fits your group while keeping the home private, comfortable, and easy to enjoy.
