Photos and Description of the Penn Yan vacation cottage rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bath, sleeps 6

Welcome to our little piece of heaven we like to call “The Meritage” - a completely remodeled cottage with all the modern conveniences. The cottage is located on a quiet lower lake road - perfect for walking the dog, taking an evening stroll or maybe a morning bike ride.

When you arrive you'll find a bottle of Finger Lakes wine and local coffee from Keuka Lake Coffee Roasters to get your vacation started. Your mornings can start with a cup of fresh coffee as the sun rises behind you, and your evenings can end with the sun setting across the lake and a glass of wine in hand.

The front door to this lovely cottage takes you into the living room area, artfully arranged to welcome warm conversations with friends or family. A comfortable queen-sized sleeper sofa and pair of matching armchairs make this a great place to catch up on the day’s events.

A large window behind the couch beautifully frames the evening sunsets. Twin bookcases are filled with books and games for you to enjoy during your stay, as well as a flat-screen TV with digital cable, DVD player and DVR.

The living room is open to the dining area with seating for 6 and the completely remodeled kitchen where you’ll find everything you need to prepare a wonderful lakeside meal. We’ve even included a wine refrigerator!

Off the kitchen a laundry room with a new washer and dryer, as well as kitchen “staples” in the pantry area. To the left of the kitchen you’ll find our brand new bathroom with tub and shower.

The master bedroom features high ceilings with a fan and the original wooden beams. complete with Buckwheat Therapy pillows - handmade by our neighbors two doors down - might change the way you sleep forever! The bedroom also is equipped with cable TV and an alarm clock.

A

The queen sized bed second bedroom just off the dining area has a double bed and soothing decor.

Outside, friends and family can sit together on the deck, enjoying dinner or a glass of wine and taking in the sight of Keuka Lake. There's a table for six - and a covered space in case it rains! You'll also find both a charcoal grill (for the purist) and a gas grill (for the realist), as well as an outdoor fireplace.

Walk five steps off the deck and you've reached the water. There's plenty of swimming space, and you can dive in off the end of the dock. Also at the end of the dock are two Adirondack chairs and a boat hoist for your use.

There's so much to do in the surrounding area. The biggest attraction is the Finger Lakes Wine Trail, and you'll find two of the best wineries within a mile of The Meritage.

You can taste all kinds of wine - from world-class Rieslings, to Pinot Noir, to award-winningdessert wines! And most wineries provide stunning views of the various Finger Lakes. If you don't want to drive, we have information on limo and private transportation services.

Shoppers will love The Windmill Farm and Craft Market, just a short drive away on Saturdays. Some of our favorite restaurants are nearby, and we provide the menus - along with our recommendations! And you can find many ways to enjoy the lake itself - from renting a boat and water skiing, to fishing, to bringing your own equipment like kayaks and rafts!

While we don't recommend working while on vacation, there's certainly room to work if you must! Guests enjoy high-speed wireless Internet, unlimited long-distance calling, and can use the large desk in the master bedroom that looks straight out the wide window to a panorama lake view.

Be sure to ask us about our grocery service at The Meritage.

Great getaway

We just returned from a too brief stay at "The Meritage". Morgan & Evan did a great job of describing the experience on their web sites and communications. We found everything as promised, right down to the welcome local wine and coffee. The sound of the carallon at Keuka College sings across the lake. This is a cozy spot for a small party and we look forward to a return visit.

Perfect weekend in late March!

Morgan and Evan -
It was such a pleasure working with you to get this weekend planned. Thank you so much for accomodating our stay at the cottage in March/April. Everything - from the beautiful cottage to the wine to the fresh flowers on the table - was just perfect. The weather didn't cooperate but as you say - "a day at the lake is worth a month in town!". We had a great time, the cottage is adorable and very comfortable. Your recommendations for wineries were very helpful. Even though we are very familiar with the area you recommended some wineries that we had not been to before. Thanks again for making this a very pleasant stay. I am enjoying Evan's book very much. And good luck with that new baby!
Best wishes, Lee, Mary, Bev and Joe

Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us! It is lovely - and perfect
for our little getaway. Keuka Lake and its surroundings are a true treasure -
so beautiful! We are grateful to have had the opportunity to experience them
again.

Thank you for the great bottle of wine and for having the cottage so well
appointed. It made us feel right at home!

We enjoyed the beauty of the lake, local wineries, shops in Hammondsport,
and ice cream in Penn Yan! I also caught my first "really big" fish out on the
lake! And it was capped off by watching an amazing rain and hail storm come
up the lake - it was an awesome sight!

Thank you for everything - best wishes!

Evan and Morgan,

Thank you both so much for allowing us to enjoy your cottage. We had a
beautiful week. The weather was perfect for boating and taking our motorcycle around the lake to visit the wineries.

The "Meritage" was so comfortable we feel right at home. It was nice to have
all the amenities and not have to pack - you have thought of everything.

We really enjoyed our Meritage Blend of coffee every morning. The wine you
left for us was also perfect and we enjoyed it to celebrate our 20 year
anniversary.

We absolutely loved Keuka Lake and will be back to this beautiful area. What
amazing sunsets!. Thank you again.

My new husband and I stayed at the Meritage for our honeymoon. All I can say is that it really is perfection!
The owners have done an amazing job in providing everything you could possibly need or want. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking amenities, including an array of spices and baking needs. The layout of the cottage is very spacious and open. The beds are very comfortable, and the windows in the master bedroom face the lake and there is nothing more soothing that listening to the lake as you fall asleep.
The outside of the cottage is incredible as well. The deck is big, and seat lots of dinner guests. The grill is brand new and there is a great fire pit for late night bonfires. The dock is right there and makes for great fishing (we caught a huge bass!). The sunsets are gorgeous, especially with a glass of wine from one of the nearby wineries.
You have the best of everything here at the Meritage and I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
Thank you Evan and Morgan for taking such great care to make our stay perfect! We will definitely be back!
