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.

Review Submitted: July 15, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
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.

Review Submitted: June 3, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
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!

Morgan and Evan:

A very beautiful Memorial Day weekend at The Meritage. From the moment
we stepped inside, we felt very comfortable and welcomed. We enjoyed your
local favorites, especially the barbecue sauce with our burgers and ribs. Your
special Meritage Blend coffee made our mornings on the lake extra enjoyable
as well. The weekend was full of relaxing, sunbathing, barbecuing and our
evening campfires. The cottage was well supplied and met all of our needs.
We look forward to returning sometime soon.
