Pleasant Bay Retreat | 3 Bed, 2 Bath

This lovely vacation home on Keuka Lake is the perfect spot for your group of 12, not only during your summer getaway, but also during the spring, fall, and winter!  Pleasant Bay has private lakefront....a great summer spot for enjoying the water, kayaking, and boating!  But this is also the perfect spot to stay in the quieter seasons....Pleasant Bay boasts a large hot tub on the deck overlooking the lake and with easy, year-round access to the home, you'll want to stay here in cooler weather as well!

Pleasant Bay is tucked into a little cove area, by two marinas, right at the top of Keuka Lake's west branch.  The water here is more shallow than other parts of the lake(along with the shallow, warmer water, you may encounter lilypads and lake grasses).  The view from the house extends across the water to Keuka's famed Bluff.

The main floor of the house has an open floor plan with the Kitchen, Dining, and Living Room all open to each other.  Walking in the main entry door from the back porch, you'll enter the fully stocked kitchen with an eat-in island, bar height dining table and Living room with a gas fireplace, large screen smart TV and wall to wall glass doors looking out over Keuka Lake and that walk out on to the large porch and lake beyond.

There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor.  The Master bedroom is quite spacious with a King size bed and windows facing out over the lake.  Bedroom 2 has two sets of Twin bunks.  There is a Full bath located on the Main Floor with a tub/shower.

On the second floor, you'll find a open landing area that overlooks the Living Room cathedral area.  This sitting area has sofa and is a great spot to use as a reading nook.  The upstairs bedroom is spacious as well and has a King size bed.  The upstairs bathroom is a full bath with a walk in shower.  The washer and dryer are also located in this upstairs bathroom.

Downstairs, in the lower level basement area, is a Family room which can double as the 4th Bedroom.  The Family room area has a futon and lounge area along with a large screen TV.  The other half of the Family Room has a comfortable King size bed for sleeping 2 persons.

Pleasant Bay has a large yard for getting outside, playing yard games and allowing children to explore outside.  Wrapped around the front of the house, toward the water, is a deck/porch with outdoor dining table/chairs and comfortable outdoor sitting area.  A smaller, attached deck (with a privacy wall)is  where you'll find the hot tub located. The yard slopes gently onto the lakeshore and there is a large dock with a sitting area, and a gas firepit, at the end of the dock.  The dock does have cleats for tying up your boat.  The house is located next door to a marina if you are unable to bring your own boat, you can always rent one from the marina!
There are several SUP's and a kayak available for guest use during their stay.

Wonderful stay
We have stayed at this property multiple times. The house is great with large gathering spaces for eating, playing games and watching TV. It is also easy to have private time to read and nap on the large back porch or the many bedrooms. The gas grill, hot tub and fireplace on the dock make spending time enjoying the lake view really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to a friend and will be back again next year.

Nice stay but not perfect
Spacious and wonderful layout with great views. Overall good stay. House was not as clean as it should have been ( hot tub, dishes) for such a strict check in check out process and someone was at house until 430 upon checking in at 4. Pictures show a swimmable water front but it is not properly maintained and a huge disappointment for entire family that we could not swim or enter water off yard or dock due to an abundance of water weeds. Would never have booked if I knew we weren't able to enjoy the lake like we had planned.

Weekend birthday getaway
The interior of the house was great and clean. Everything was set and ready for us. The eating area overlooking the water had not been touched and we had to scrub it down pretty thoroughly. Unfortunately, one of the selling points for us was the fire pit which was in pieces at the end of the dock. The hot tub was huge for our evening hang out. The communication with the property manager was just ok. With all of that being said, we had a fantastic time. It was early in the season which may explain some of the issues. We would recommend this home to friends and will keep it in mind for our future plans.

Very nice house perfect for a vacation. Hot tub was great, as was the gas fireplace on chilly evenings. Nice open first floor with modern kitchen stocked with everything you need. Located right on the water with great views.

Lovely Lake Getaway
Even with our own sign in we never could get the Roku to work so TV was sketchy at best. As clean and lovely as everything was, the dead bugs in the window blinds is off-putting! Cheap shades would be an improvement.

Relaxing stay - Beautiful location and property
We have stayed at this property multiple times. Each time we have enjoyed the stay and the area. The property is well maintained and stocked for an enjoyable weekend. We were able to utilize the provided kayak and stand-up paddle boards to explore the lake and then jump in the hot tub to warm up. We would recommend this location to friends and we will stay here again in the future.

Great place for sibling reunion
We had a great week at the property. A couple of issues arose, communication was excellent and the problem addressed promptly. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment. Renting a boat from the marina next door, launching our kayaks from the private and using the house as a base for exploring wineries were super convenient.
