Loved loved loved this sweet inn! owners offer great communication all through the process , view was outstanding, room was immaculate, proximity to the village is wonderful, will absolutely stay here again! I appreciate the simplicity and how well thought out it is. Right down to the fire pit lakeside!
Absolutely fabulous and can't be beat. The rooms are sizable, clean, newly updated and comfortable. The fire pit / patio area is really lovely to sit at and enjoy the lake during the day or stargaze at night. The private dock and launch area is perfect for boat, kayak or canoe launches. The Owner is friendly and informative - all of his recommendations were great. The housekeeping arrangement is smart and worked perfect. Put what you want on the provided sticky note, stick that on your door, and shortly after the requested items appear. It was magic. We had a really great visit.
This is my favorite Finger Lakes lodging by a long shot. The location right on the lake with beautiful views and a place to sit and contemplate life. The pier is convenient if you have a boat you wanna bring,along with the launch ramp to get it in the water. Easy walk to the shops and restaurants in town. The owners are fastidious about every aspect and wonderful to work with.I’ve stayed here once or twice a year for more than a decade. Updating and adding more pics because I just stayed again this weekend. Lucky me in the Finger Lakes two weekends in a row.
We stop here every year on our return home to Florida. Ron is wonderful and always very accommodating . The rooms are lovely, upgraded and clean. The views are stunning and the pergola and fire pit area complete the experience. The quaint shopping and restaurant area are within walking distance. We will be back next year!
We were a group of 12 cyclists and this was the perfect place to spend two nights. Easy to gather as a group in the evenings and our host, Ron, was very helpful in recommending restaurants, etc. that were within easy walking distance in Hammondsport.
I can see why this place has such high reviews. I would classify this as a boutique motel that’s been totally renovated. The rooms are very nice and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in. It’s right on the lake with a nice gazebo that you can sit at. Also very convenient to the restaurants downtown. Definitely will be going back.
This was our third trip to Keuka Lakeside Inn, over the last thirty years. The current owners remodeled about 12 years ago and did a wonderful job. We got a warm welcome when we checked in. The location is perfect. There are lovely spots to sit lakeside and enjoy a glass of wine, including a gas firepit and gas lanterns. The place is immaculate and service is first rate. Hoping that we will get back to enjoy another fall weekend in the future. Melissa & Gary Hiller
This inn was recommended by a friend and we could clearly see why! The owners certainly want you to enjoy yourselves. The room was very clean, the beds very comfortable, and the location -- right on Keuka lake -- with lovely gazebos, Adirondack chairs, and fire pit and easy walk into town were exactly what we needed to relax and take in the beauty of the area. Our only criticism was the micro fiber sheets and the coffee (it was a lighter roast than we like), which are not deal breakers, we will definitely be back.
Overlooking Lake Keuka, this laid-back hotel is 2 miles from both Glenn H. Curtiss Museum and Pleasant Valley Wine Company, and 9 miles from both Birdseye Hollow Park and I-86.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
