Escape to the sparkling shores of Keuka Lake and discover The Irish Cardinal, your private, year-round retreat nestled in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes. With panoramic lake views, four private permanent docks, and a cozy, fully furnished lake house, this is where memories are made.

Whether you're casting a line, gliding across the lake on our paddleboard or kayaks, or simply rocking gently on the glider bench on our upper deck, life moves slower here.

This is more than a place to stay , it's a private waterfront estate experience, ideal for couples, families, and small groups seeking a refined lakefront getaway in the Finger Lakes wine country.

Location: Just minutes from over a dozen Finger Lakes wineries and breweries, with downtown Hammondsport's restaurants and shops a short walk or drive away, ideal for wine-tasting day trips or a quiet evening out.

House rules: This is a quiet, private retreat intended for relaxing lakefront stays, please no large parties or gatherings, and be respectful of neighboring properties and the shared serenity of the lake.

Year-round availability: Whether you're visiting for summer lake days or a cozy off-season escape, The Irish Cardinal is available and ready to host you in every season.
