Perfect for Us...!!!

“No Such Place” is a gem…! We are so lucky to have found it! It’s clean, functionally perfect, located at exactly the right place on the lake, close to wineries, distilleries, restaurants and convenience stores, and the owner is amazingly quick to respond to any of our questions by text. We had kayaks dropped off and picked up at the dock, and all the pre-stay information and pictures were extremely well organized, accurate and helpful. Some may think it’s a bit on the rustic side, but we loved that about the place. The kitchen was well stocked for almost any cooking need and the two refrigerators were a major plus. There is an open-air picnic table with grill on the side deck and another grill and picnic table in a covered area near the dock and water. All the steps and walkways were freshly power sprayed, and all the deck furniture was antiseptic clean with fresh white paint. It was nice to be at a place where the owner took special pains to make sure the place was clean, well-kept and ready for us. We will be booking two weeks at No Such Place next summer and we highly recommend this property to all. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Great Location

There are lots of wineries close by – Heron Hill and Dr. Konstantin Frank had some very nice wines. Watkins Glen State Park gorge trail is a spectacular walk and if you don’t feel like cooking, the Switzerland Inn (The Switz) is within walking distance from the cottage for dinner, drinks and live music.

Great location

Four old friends who do a girls weekend each year. This was our first stay on Keuka Lake. Beautiful lake, beautiful time of year. The dock was wonderful to relax on. A couple of us even braved a cold plunge into the 52° water. The outdoor patio off the dining room was lovely too. Home faces north so you get views of sunrise and sunset. The house itself was clean but had a faint strange odor. Maybe just the dampness from the lake. The fourth bedroom is sort of half of the dining room but there is a folding wall to provide some privacy. The place overall needs a little updating and freshening. Kitchen was a wonky layout but had everything we needed. Keith was easily available and responsive had we needed him. We walked to three wineries, one distillery, and a restaurant from the house. It was total maybe two miles round trip but is on a busy road, so be mindful of that. But being able to walk was a huge bonus. I admit I was overwhelmed by the dozen or so PDFs regarding our stay prior to arrival. I’d prefer just directions, an address, and instructions for entry. The rest could have been in a guest orientation book in the home. Our experience was a positive one overall and we would likely stay again if we choose this lake in the future.

Beautiful place by the lake

We had a great day! Keith was awesome. He helped us with whatever we needed. Was there at the property when we arrived to help place our boat trailer. We had a long weekend for our anniversary and brought our Boat to do some fishing. Keith was very helpful with that. Let us know where we could put the boat in and store the trailer.

Had great time

My family of 6 and myself stayed at "No Such Place" and found it quite charming. And not lacking in the way of amenities, location, views, close by restaurants and wineries. We have stayed at several places on Keuka and find that this place has it all. We loved the beautiful doc, swim in the pristine waters, enjoy a family campfire, walked the dog in the nearby woods. Neighbors are very friendly. If you prefer to sit around all day, there are hotels that may serve you better. The cottage was very clean and functional upon our arrival, and the dock chairs, swing set, and picnic tables were all freshly painted showing the care the owner has for the property. Even the several walkways around were freshly power sprayed. We had lots of guests over and they enjoyed the large dock for boating and fishing. There was also plenty of parking, which was always such a problem at other places we have stayed. The host, Keit, is an incredible resource to use for information and that was a big plus. We highly recommend this special rustic cottage, and we will be going back for sure to stay two- or three-weeks next summer.

Mixed experience

If you are looking for that rustic, quirky spot (which is what we were looking for) this is for you. The location is great. Very close to good restaurant (The Swits) and right in the heart of the Keuka wineries. However given the price I would expect and request a much better maintained property. A good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint would do a lot to improve the exterior spaces and their usefulness. Given the age and quirky nature of the property it is filled with trip hazards in the interior spaces not reflected in the description. Not a problem for us but could be for some. The neighborhood is NOT friendly at all. Seemed to be a lot of tension between neighbors and parking seems to be a hot topic as areas are clearly marked and checked. Finally, the owner stays on the property in the garage with his adult son and there are multiple surveillance cameras on site. Honestly that and the neighborhood vibe were a bit off putting. While those items were not inconsequential, overall we enjoyed our stay but we would not use this property again without some exterior changes.

Such a Place is No Such Place-It's so Awesome!

We are Lake People that love Keuka Lake and have been coming to Keuka for many years. Despite many great renting experiences in the past, we have always been looking for an ultra-special place that affords an ideal central lake location to the surrounding cities by water or by roadways. Also we wanted a place thatoffers fantastic views, has a beach campfire pit for our evening family time, has a long dock with multipleboat lifts for our fishing boats and pontoon boat, a place located on the sunset viewing side (of course), a place that offers great parking for cars, guests and boat trailers, has a large grassy and wooded area where we can walk our dogs, has a friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and caring host, is a place located near great wineries and restaurants, has a well-appointed and fully functioning kitchen, has fast internet and a totally clean, comfortable and well-kept place that reminds us of the classic golden age rustic cottage that we stayed at each summer while growing up. Well, our wish list was finally answered, and we found that special place on Keuka Lake. It’s called No Such Place…! The bonus is that we loved the quick responses from our host, Keith, whenever we had a question about the property or the area. --- We must add that while this is not a fancy Madison Avenue type Hotel, it is a really neat Lake House, and we think it’s a gem, so we highly recommend it. We have already made plans to return. We have already made plans to retu

Not an enjoyable experience

Lets start from the beginning. The host sent me messages through the VRBO app and we setup additional services like the use of the power boat lift, pet fees and full linen services. All seemed great. Once I got to the house, we went to go to bed and the upstairs bedrooms smelled terribly of paint, the bathroom on the second floor has an angled ceiling and you cant even stand in it to use the bathroom or wash your hands. The next morning the host popped out of the garage while I was at my truck and started a conversation about where I can park, how I should turn around and where to put my boat trailer. Im an adult, I am sure I can figure it out without the hosts input. After myself and the other guests got back from being out at a couple of the wineries, we were getting out of our vehicles and the host Keith is already walking up to the vehicles. I approach him as it was weird he was at the property again and he starts

Older cabin-like home

Small old kitchen. Lots of mishmash supplies not organized. Low flow shower heads are awful. Comfortable bed on main floor IN kitchen eating area. 3 very small upper bedrooms. Beautiful large deck. Lots of duct tape tho. Stairs can be tough. NO room at all to sit by fire pit. 1/2 in the lake! Served the purpose but under par for the price. Needs fixing up and remodel. Good for guys fishing weekend.

THE PORCH IS GREAT - Beautiful view of the lake and mountains

I spent most of my time sitting on the covered porch, in a rocking chair, looking at the absolutely beautiful lake views. The cottage is located on the east side of the lake, just at the Bluff - so you could see beautiful sunsets, some of each sunrise, but the views of mountains and the lake water just made the entire stay! Incredible!! Keith was always available if we had any questions and he gave us some good recommendations. The house could use a bit of updating but the location makes up for everything. So thankful this is a dog-friendly rental! It was a wonderful relaxing vacation.

Beautiful view, cottage overated

The Finger Lakes were all we hoped for, but the cottage was greatly overrated. The master bedroom was actually the dining room, with an accordion door to separate the “rooms”, the steps to the three tiny BR’s were very steep and not safe for young kids or older folks. You cannot stand up in the powder room. Half of the fire pit is in the water. The stone fire place is hidden behind a pull out bed. There is a beautiful dock, and the owner was very nice, but we won’t be back to No Such Place”. However. If you’re looking for an old timey lake cottage, you may be fine here.

Take me to, please, take me again to “No Such Place”

There is a place that we girls from Pa have been escaping to for 9 years now and it’s called “No Such Place”. The name was well chosen because we have never found another place quite like it. It warms our hearts and makes us smile and we 5 girls have become better friends because of our yearly trips to No Such Place in NY in the finger lakes. In our mind and souls it’s become our Camelot, our Shangri-La and our magic get away place where we escape effortlessly from work and all the toils of daily life—-and we love it…! The host is Keith -a multi ocean Yacht Captain who travels the world between trips back to his home on Keuka Lake. He is also an author who’s cleaning gal strategically places in books around the property so others can enjoy them. Keith somehow tends to find time to write one or two novels each year, we girls are always playing catch up reading all of them. You couldn’t find a nicer host than Keith and his books tend to reflect some of his many adventures around the world as well as on Keuka Lake. (Keith always says the books are only fiction and not about him… but we know better) The cottage is located between Penn Yan and Hammondsport- close to many great winery’s, breweries and distilleries. No Such Place has the best views of the Bluff, and its dock is one of the bestif not the best on the lake, and it’s a great place for fishing , enjoying magically seductive views and just plain old relaxing . We highly recommend it. No Such Place has become our 2nd home♥

Great Place!

We had a wonderful time. Property is clean and right on the water. Beautiful views and the owner was super nice. Has an old cottage feel to it. Only thing I would warn are the steps to the 2nd floor are steep, so if you have anyone with issues going up or down stairs well I’d suggest having them sleep in the room on the first floor.

About the host

Hosted by K. Ryker Clark

I am a Global Yacht Delivery Captain but born and raised in the Keuka Lake area. I have lived in many parts of the USA and traveled extensively throughout the world. I have seen many wondrous places in my travels, but the one true place I love more than any other, and the one place I will always call home, is "No Such Place" on gorgeous Keuka Lake.

Why they chose this property

Keuka Lake is magical all year long but particularly so in the summer! Hammondsport on Keuka Lake is the source of the USA's first registered winery and now has nearly 20 fantastic and romantic wineries all around the lake. Harvest time is uniquely festive and fun for all and this happens spontaneously within the beauty of the incredible surrounding hills and fall foliage, a treat for the spirit and soul each and every year!

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location is the key to real estate, as they say, and 'No Such Place' fit's that phrase perfectly since it is ideally situation on the lake with strategic access by road and water to all of the key surrounding towns. The 3-branch and bluff views from the property in summer, spring, winter or fall are mesmerizing and soothing for one's spirit, and simply amazing for one's eyes to behold. Needless to say, a great place to bring your camera...!
