A warm and inviting space greets you as you enter the home into the kitchen. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a glass cook top stove, and granite countertops. You can enjoy the beautiful gas fireplace as you prepare meals and gather with your family and friends. Just off the kitchen is a full bath with tub/shower combo. Two more separate living areas, both tastefully furnished, provide enough space for the entire family to relax. A beautiful set of pine barn doors add an eclectic touch, and can be closed for privacy if the adults wish to gather in one space to chat and enjoy a glass of Finger Lakes wine, as the children play or watch a movie in the third living room.
A staircase off of this room leads to a private bedroom on the 2nd floor. This bedroom features a Queen size bed, and a great view of the lake. The second staircase leading to the 2nd floor is located off the kitchen. The other three bedrooms are located on this side of the house. One of the queen bedrooms features a small TV with a DVD player. You can enjoy the view of the lake from all three bedrooms! A full bath with shower is conveniently located to these bedrooms.
Please note: this is a seasonal cottage and is not available for rent from November through mid-April. Happily accepting reservations for Spring 2016. We operate on a Saturday to Saturday schedule during the summer season; because we rent all of these weeks, we cannot accommodate a Friday or Sunday departure day.
The lakefront at this property is unlike any other, and where you will want to spend most of your time! With two gradual entrances to the lake, you can wade in the warm, shallow water and children can enjoy the perfect spot for splashing and swimming. A picnic table is located lakeside, where you can gather for meals or a game of cards. This home is located in a prime fishing location, so make sure you bring your fishing poles. Fish off the dock, or take the rowboat out and enjoy the scenery. Relax in the Adirondack chairs and tell stories around a campfire. Watch for shooting stars under the clear night’s sky. Just minutes from local restaurants, wineries and shops, yet set in a location where you can privately enjoy your vacation. O’Cottage is the vacation destination you have been waiting for!
The home was renovated in 2005 and is lovingly maintained and updated each year.
Please note that linens are not provided. Off-street parking is not available due to the property's location and parking is limited to four cars (if you are bringing a boat, it must be stored at a local marina, as the home is located on a one-lane road).

Interaction with guests: I am happy to help guests with as little or as much vacation planning as they would like. I generally provide an information email that answers most questions have prior to their arrival, I love questions and think the more a guest asks, the better time they will have at O'Cottage.
O'Cottage was so comfortable; I didn't want to leave!
I selected this location for a small family celebration because it was close to my parent's and my sister's homes. The living space in the cottage was much larger than I anticipated. So, it was perfect for entertaining! My immediate family gathered at O'Cottage to celebrate my son's high school graduation, 18th birthday and acceptance to Chapman University. My family enjoyed playing cornhole and cards along the water. My 13-year old and her friend had a lot of fun in the row boat. And, we all enjoyed making s'mores by the fire each evening. We rented a jet ski in Hammondsport and had a lovely dinner at the Tavern. Dinner at Seneca Farms and lunch at the Windmill were enjoyable. Hearing the sound of the waves splashing ashore from our bedrooms each night was amazing!

Best Vacation!
I asked each of my kids to sum our stay at O'Cottage and they each yelled "Best vacation!" My wife agreed! It was great to take a break from the whirlwind of kids' activites to spend a week here in peace and quiet. The location on the lake is easily one of the best. We loved waking up to the water and going to bed after the campfire dwindled. The house is spacious and tidy and the outdoor shower is a treat. The owner is quick to respond to questions and the booking process was easy. Would I recommend this place to a friend? No! I want it all for myself! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with my family!

The wine is fine (and so is everything else) at O'Cottage
Our annual trip to the Finger Lakes region to enjoy the wineries and fall foliage. Beautiful setting at O'Cottage. Easy to book and get information from the owner. House is clean and very welcoming. Best house we have stayed at since we starting taking trips to the region. Will book again! Thank you for sharing this gem!

Great birthday celebration in a lovely place.
The weather wasn't perfect, but good enough, and the fall foliage was still beautiful. Some of the highlights: I, one daughter and one niece took a short dip in the lake, something I was determined to do! Afterward, the outdoor shower was heaven. We made a fire in the fire pit, roasted marshmallows for S'mores, drove to the Olney Place and loved the Rachel sandwich. Most of all it was a nice, quiet, beautiful place to be with loved ones. The owner was a pleasure to deal with,

Great Family Vacation
We had a fantastic time at the "O'Cottage." We have seen this house from the water during the times we boated past and were lucky enough to spend a beautiful week there. We had near-complete privacy and hardly saw a car all week. During the week, the kids had the water to themselves. They swam, they tubed, they hiked. We felt totally at east letting them loose to walk in the woods for a hike because of the private location. It was the kind of vacation that we came home tired from because of all the physical activity we took part in. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with our family!

TOGETHERNESS ON THE WATER
We arrived in beautiful weather and left in beautful weather. The week was perfect along with the accommodations. We kayaked, tubed & swam with our married children and our five adult granddaughters. We took a trip to Hammondsport, toured the town and had lunch.
Mostly relaxed by the water, read, and played cards.
Unfortuneately, the driveway is challenging, but all the girls had a great time.

Great times at O'Cottage
After going to Keuka Lake for many years and staying in cottages with long hikes to the water and noisy neighbors next-door, O'Cottage is my favorite. The reason I like it so much is the privacy and the location (my boys and I all like to fish and we can fish off the dock and from the rowboat). The cottage has two beaches that are easy to swim in from. The fishing is excellent from the swim platform. It was fun hiking in the woods to collect firewood and smore sticks for our nightly bonfire. The campfire is right near the water and it is so pretty at night. The lake is about a mile wide at this point and we had a family challenge to swim across it. The lake is very quite on the weekdays and it was like having the entre lake to ourselves. The interior of the cottage was charming, with a mix of highend and rustic. With three separate living rooms that could be shut with doors for privacy, it was easy to find a place to do what we wanted. The counter to having the house at lake level is that the driveway is very steep, which was difficult for my mom to walk up, so we drove her up the driveway instead whenever we left the property. The owner was quick to respond to my questions and very easy to work with.
We rented a pontoon boat and took a day trip to Hammondsport, which is a really cute little town. It was fun to see the amish people in town driving their horse and buggy. I regret not stopping in Watking Glen to see the waterfall there - I heard it was amazing.

Perfect
We had a wonderful time at O'Cottage and were so sad to leave. It is quiet and relaxing here, almost like being on private island. The house is comfortable and the views and location on this lake can't be beat. The water is gorgeous and clear and we really enjoyed being at lake level (so many houses are up a steep flight of stairs). We fought over who would get to sleep in the bedroom over the TV room, where we could hear the lake lapping at the shore from the windows. We can't stress enough how much we liked the level lake lot; we had kids in the water all day long, but could quiclkly run in the house to make a sandwich or a get a drink and still be able to see and hear them. We can't wait to come back! Thank you for sharing this wonderful cottage with us!

Wowsa!
Wow, we had such a great time at your fantastic lake house! The house was comfortable and clean and cosy and accommodating for my family and our friends. The water is absolutely beautiful and the views are superb! It was sort of like vacationing on an island: quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Making the arrangements to stay could not have been easier and the time spent at O'Cottage could not have been nicer!

Serenity? Check. Waterfront? Check. Beautiful views? Check.
Located at the end of a private road, O'Cottage is the place for a quiet family vacation. The house is located just steps from the shore of Keuka Lake. There are no neighbours to one side and privacy from the other.

Car not needed
How to get there
O'Cottage is a little difficult to find for two reasons: it is located on East Bluff Drive, which was renumbered a few years ago, and some mapping programs reference the former house number; and, some mapping software insists a road exists where it does not! Directions from an easily-found nearby landmark are included in my information email.
