SMALL AND TIDY COTTAGE WITH MANY PERSONAL TOUCHES. VERY EASY ACCESS TO LAKE. GRANDKIDS HAD A FUN TIME WITH PADDLE BOAT, FISHING AND FEEDING THE DUCKS. OWNER WANTED TO BE SURE WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND WAS EASILY ACCESSIBLE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING.

The views and proximity to the water are the only things that made our stay good. The boathouse/bathhouse/garage turned into cottage has 1/3 of it with no more than a 5’9” head clearance, including the dining area, hallway and bathroom. Not mentioned anywhere, even in any of the posted glowing reviews! My 6’3” husband had to bend over or hit his head on beams the whole time! Makes me wonder if only hobbits rented it previously. The bathroom and shower vent into the rest of the cottage, and the “door” to the bathroom is only about 16” wide, and does not cover the whole entrance, doing nothing to keep bathroom smells in the bathroom. The living room, with the queen bed, has no way to darken the room, so when the sun comes up at 6 AM, you’d better be ready to get up. The neighbors’ house, which is literally 3’ away, was being remodeled, so we had circular saws and hammering the whole time. The other house on the property, which is much larger, had all the parking spaces across the road filled when we got there so we were glad we only brought one small car, which is all that will fit in the driveway-our truck would not have fit. The row boat was full of water (we bailed it out and turned it over), there was no chaise lounge to be found. The neighbors, who drastically outnumbered us, had the paddle boat. The stairs to the beach were rickety and unlit. Missing rocks on the wall, overgrown vegetation, missing lights all screaming for attention. This was honestly my most disappointing rental in over 20 years with VRBO!

The cottage is rustic and quaint. There are plenty of lamps for evening reading. Plenty of fans to add breezesThere are plenty of windows to open to add cross breezes.The view fromthe back door which leads to the patio is gorgeous! There is a nice size round table and 4 chairs with an umbrella. You can walk out onto the pier and sit in 2 Adirondack chairs which are at the end of the pier. At night the pier is well lit and looks welcoming. There were ducks paddling near the shore and honking. We wanted to relax and that is just what we did. It’s not far from homemade ice cream place. We bought some items at a local supermarket. We intend to return! Also, the owners are great to deal with.

This was the most quaint and cozy cottage! It had everything you could possibly need while camping. The location was beautiful as it is directly on Keuka Lake. The neighborhood is very pleasant and peaceful. It is Iike a ten minute drive to Penn Yann. The host was most helpful in providing a packet with all the local stores and restaurants. He also provided a list of sites to see around the area. He was very pleasant and most courteous to deal with. I would highly recommend staying at the Pickerel Inn. I plan to go back again myself!

Very very relaxing stay beautiful view it was hard to leave

What a wonderful gorgeous view in a rustic lakefront cottage. The owner prepared the most excellent welcome packet and was a joy to deal with. Unforgettable weekend!

Great lake views from a wonderful cottage with a good lake front patio and dock. Good location near to Penn Yan, Hammondsport, and lots of great wineries. The host was very responsive and thoroughly answered all my questions. We had a very nice stay.

This is the perfect spot for a getaway. The two of us both enjoyed it very much. Fishing is great, lake and views are beautiful. The cottage was exactly what we needed. Would definitely do it again. Karen Z

This little cottage is, well, little. And very basic, which suited us just fine. The location and view are spectacular!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pickerel Inn!! We were looking for a quiet, restful place to getaway. Although the cottages were very close together, the plantings between them gave us the privacy we needed, plus we had great neighbors. We enjoyed being right on the water, watching the ducks that came to visit everyday, the birds (even eagles) and all the boating activity on the lake. Ted was great to work with! He was always available for questions. We felt right at home!!

Great fishing, house a little small hit my head a couple times on ceiling. Would be to small to bring family down .

Loved hearing the waves at night! A full moon was shining! The cottage was funky but clean. Private small deck on the water. It had a very comfortable bed! Usually in cottages the beds are the worst! Not this cottage! Nice romantic get away!

Great location

Great location

Cozy cottage right on the water with pretty views. Ted and Becky made us feel very welcome. Good home base while exploring the area around Keuka Lake.

The cottage was perfect for an extended weekend getaway for my husband and I. We enjoyed relaxing by the lake, fishing, hiking and visiting wineries.

Nice, cozy, relaxing stay

My family of three stayed for a long weekend. Cute little cottage with level waterfront. The most beautiful view on the lake! Property owners were excellent and attentive. Enjoyed our stay.

The nicest hosts and the most relaxing beautiful setting for a restful retreat!

Lovely lakeside cottage. Comfortable and clean. Great being steps away from lake and peaceful dock with chairs. Ted was great host, helpful every step of the way. Hoping to stay again next year!

Great hospitality and communication. Adorable cottage, right on the water and close to Penn Yan and Keuka College. Ideal spot for peace and quiet.

We had a great time. Staying right on the water was the best. Nice little cozy cottage. Very quiet area

What a wonderful cottage. The cottage is right on the lake, private, and charming. It was exceptionally clean and had all the comforts of home. The owners were wonderful, made us feel like family! We will definitely stay again.
