Crane Cove: Private Lake Home on Keuka Lake

Crane Cove is the quiet retreat on Keuka Lake that you have been yearning for. This cottage is located on Keuka's East Bluff, tucked away in an opening in the trees on a small cove, with plenty of lakefront for enjoying all that the lake has to offer.



Crane Cove comes with a main house which includes the 3 bedrooms in the main house and 2 bathrooms. There is a secondary smaller cottage, The Nest, just across the yard with it's own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area, making this an ideal property for a multi-generational family group.



Walking down the gravel stairway from the paved parking area (suitable parking for 5 cars), you'll walk into the main entry for the home. The main living area/ dining room have a vaulted ceiling with windows overlooking the water. The dining room comfortably seats 10, flowing in to the living room with comfortable seating, tv, and a door that walks out onto the side patio with outdoor dining set.



The Kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and dishware and has a large kitchen island with bar stools as well as a lovely window seat tucked under the windows overlooking Keuka lake.



Follow the hallway behind the kitchen to the main floor bath and laundry area and on back to the main floor bedroom at the end of the hallway. This bedroom has a Queen size bed.



Upstairs you'll find a loft area with lounge furniture, a tv, and the twin/king Trundle bed. The Trundle bed can be used as 2 solitary twin beds or converted to a King size bed. The loft has a lovely view of the lake through the windows as well.
Making a left at the top of the stairs, the second floor bathroom is situated between the two upstairs bedrooms. Bedroom 2 has a Queen bed and Bedroom 3 has a Queen bed also, with a window overlooking the lake below.



The front porch at Crane Cove is just lovely, several rocking chairs to relax in while watching the water lapping the shoreline. There is a firepit on the side yard for enjoying evening fires by the lake.



On the opposite side of the house is a large yard area between the main house and The Nest. This yard area is perfect for yard games. The yard gently slopes to the pebble beach area on the lake and the large seasonal dock. The beach area is great for wading and swimming, and there are 2 kayaks and a canoe available for guests to use if they choose. The dock is seasonal and should not be used to tie a boat for any length of time. We recommend utilizing the marina next door if you intend to bring your own boat or rent one during your stay.



The Nest is the small secondary cottage located on the same property, on the other side of the fence, and has it's own set of stairs to the parking area. The Nest sleeps 2 more people and has a Double bed, a full bath with a shower and a full kitchen, along with a main living space containing a couch, small dining table and tv.

We know you'll love the quiet and tranquility of Crane Cove and The Nest and look forward to hosting you!

This is the second time we have stayed at Crane Cove and, as usual, does not disappoint. The area is beautiful and the house is clean and our teenage grandchildren loved staying overnight in The Nest!

The house is right on the lake but is badly in need of updating and maintenance. The furniture is old and tired and the kitchen equipment is worn out. The best thing about the house is the porch that overlooks the lake. We sat there in the morning drinking coffee and enjoying the view. It was too cold to sit on the dock most of the time due to the wind. Even though we stayed 5 days, we didn't really get to enjoy the lake. One of the kayaks has a broken seat and the canoe was filled with brown sludge so we couldn't use it. The lake water was freezing and the weather was very cool (in the 40's in the morning) so we couldn't swim or paddle board. Ww

Friends and the Finger Lakes

Wonderful experience overall but, disappointed about description of slight grade into property which turned out to be 30 steep steps down with just a rope railing! Several individuals have knee issues which made it difficult to traverse the steps🙁

Heaven on the lake

We had a great week on the lake. We enjoyed the porch in the morning sun, the dock and all the water fun, the outside eating area and the fire pit! What a great house to gather in

Wonderful place to stay

We had a wonderful time staying at this place. It was great for our family of 5 with teenagers and also two sets of grandparents. Highly recommended with a main floor bedroom and the capability to spread out using the nest. The only recommendation would be to have the capability to be able to dock a boat at the property. We needed to return our boat to a marina. Otherwise it was qn amazing week. An amazing place to stay.

Graduation weekend

Lots of space, all the amenities of home, right on the water and in excellent condition. Our family was able to relax and have a memorable weekend celebrating Keuka College graduation. We loved the space to spread out and appreciated the cornhole and watercraft. Wish we booked for longer stay, but we’ll be back!
