Located in the quiet town of Branchport at the northwestern end of Keuka Lake, this quaint cabin is your gateway to the joys of the entire Finger Lakes region.

It has three bedrooms, a kitchen that is both spacious and stylish, and lovely outdoor sitting areas on the grass and deck.

It comes with everything you need for summer fun: a fire pit, kayaks, inflatables, and a swimming platform that the kids will love.

Best of all, each bedroom has views of the lake.

A beautiful vacation home on a beautiful lake, Keuka Blue is an elegant home on the western branch of Lake Keuka. It stuns inside and out but is especially appealing when viewed from the water. There are plenty of opportunities to take it from such vantage points as the cottage is stocked with canoes and kayaks (motor boats and watersports craft can be rented nearby). External staircases provide added privacy to each of the three bedrooms while connecting all of the home’s fabulous outdoor areas. This great location has Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, a dock, and bunting; all the things an Upstate cottage ought to have.

A contemporary structure with a delightfully rustic feel, this log cabin is a surefire ticket to an enjoyable family vacation. The property (which can only be accessed by 4-wheel drive) has 200 feet of lakefront property, spacious deck areas (on the water and attached to the home), and a well-developed firepit which everyone will want to gather around.

The delights don’t end at the front door. The interior is an ecosystem of rock and wood, an homage to the local surroundings done up in the classic log cabin style and complete with a wood-burning fireplace in the great room. The house has two kids’ rooms with twins, two queen rooms, and a workout room. The owners will offer up their pontoon boat to interested guests.

The glacial lakes are doubtless the highlight of the Finger Lakes region, but there are other wonders to see. One such marvel is this extraordinary house on Lake Skaneateles. It is not only an architectural stunner but also a practical venue for family fun. Children will enjoy climbing the spiral staircase up to the tower, and everyone can appreciate the views.

The master bedroom has an ensuite with a jacuzzi bathtub. The second bedroom, with its own balcony, is excellent as well. A third room on the ground level will serve well as the children’s room. With so many superb spots to take in the beauty of the lake, some guests might even struggle with getting up to go out on the water.

Arranging trips for large groups is tough, but the prospect is made much easier by properties like this one, a pair of two pet-friendly cabins on Cayuga Lake. Recent renovations spruced up the outdoor space, which is grand because the views and atmosphere outside are terrific. The main cabin has a master suite, a queen bedroom, an upstairs loft with twins, and a stunning moose head over the fireplace which any hunter will envy. The basement doubles as a game room and bedroom. The second cabin has two bedrooms and a den. Both buildings have rustic wooden fixtures. The lakefront land includes a swimming cove, dock, boat hoist, and four kayaks to play with.
