Welcome to Pete's Place — a cozy lakeside retreat just minutes from downtown Penn Yan and the best of Keuka Lake living. This charming home offers the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience, whether you're here to explore wineries, attend a wedding at Norton Chapel, celebrate a graduation at Keuka College, or simply unwind by the water with family and friends.
Inside, Pete's Place feels like a classic Finger Lakes cottage with all the comforts of home. The cheerful galley kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare meals for your group, from morning coffee to lakeside dinners. Just off the kitchen, the comfortable living room welcomes you to settle in and relax after a day of exploring. A decorative fireplace adds a cozy touch, and the adjoining screened-in porch provides a quiet spot to enjoy the lake breeze. It's the perfect place to start your day with a cup of coffee or wind down with a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the water.
Three comfortable bedrooms in the main house create a peaceful atmosphere for restful nights, each designed with soft bedding and a touch of lakeside charm. The guest house adds even more space with its own in-law suite, featuring a bunk bed and pullout sofa — ideal for older kids, grandparents, or friends joining you for the weekend. With multiple bathrooms throughout the property, everyone can enjoy a little privacy and comfort.
Outside, life centers around the lake. The level lakefront is perfect for relaxing and playing, with plenty of room for yard games, sunbathing, or simply sitting by the water. Spend your days fishing off the dock, swimming in the clear waters of Keuka Lake, or enjoying a lazy afternoon under the sun. In the evenings, gather for dinner outdoors or watch the sunset paint the sky — a peaceful reminder of why time at the lake feels so special.
When you're ready to explore, downtown Penn Yan is just minutes away, offering restaurants, shops, and local favorites like Seneca Farms Ice Cream Stand and The Keuka Restaurant. Wine lovers will enjoy being close to some of the region's best wineries and breweries, including Rooster Hill Vineyards and Abandon Brewery. From scenic drives along the Keuka Wine Trail to afternoons spent discovering new tastes and views, the best of the Finger Lakes is right at your fingertips.
Pete's Place is the kind of home that invites you to slow down and enjoy simple moments — from morning coffee on the porch to starlit evenings by the lake. With space for family and friends, a peaceful setting, and all the essentials for a comfortable stay, it's the perfect spot to make memories that last long after your vacation ends.
