About this property

Chateau Esperanza: "A Relaxing Retreat by the Lake"

  • Looking for a relaxing vacation, in a beautiful lakeside home? Look no further than Chateau Esperanza! This tastefully decorated, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is nestled below a scenic overlook, faces west for you to enjoy fabulous Keuka sunsets, yet still minutes away from Penn Yan!

    Enter through the rear of the house into the open hallway. To your right is a full bath with a jetted tub, and shower with built-in seating. The master bedroom with queen size bed and a ceiling fan also has access to this bathroom. Just down the hallway to your left is the kitchen, which was designed to entertain! A large breakfast bar and great appliances are sure to delight the chef in the family. The kitchen is open to the dining and living room which offer two sets of sliding glass doors that lead out to the expansive wrap around deck. Enjoy your morning coffee as you lounge on the deck, and listen to the birds singing. The living room has a built-in wall unit with a beautiful gas fireplace you can enjoy while sipping your glass of Finger Lakes wine.

    The open staircase leads you to the second floor. Just at the top is a full bath with tub. To your right is a bedroom overlooking the wooded hill and Esperanza Dr. The second bedroom is to your left and offers lake views and a ceiling fan.

    Splash around in the lake if you like. The swimming is excellent with a rocky bottom and gradual drop off, or just relax and take in the fresh air as you watch the boaters go by. Retreat to the covered gravel patio if you are in need of a shady spot. If hiking or walking is your hobby, this property is on a quiet road that leads to Keuka Lake's State Park with miles of trails. Enjoy fine dining at the historic (1838) Esperanza Mansion Restaurant (The Mansion) is also within walking distance less than ½ mile up the hill behind this property. Shopping, dining, and wineries are just minutes away! Reward yourself and come vacation at this incredible lakeside home!

Waterfront location, needs maintenance

House had a nice waterfront view with open layout but in need of maintenance: dock covered in geese droppings, making it impossible to walk on, stained carpeting upstairs in several areas, difficult front door lock, bugs to be expected but covered areas which made it challenging to enjoy without spending time cleaning areas.

Annual Family Get-A-Way

This is a perfect property for family. The layout allowed us to gather or sequester. We played numerous games evenings and enjoyed the day on the lake swimming, canoeing, rowing & kayaking. Campfire at night, pristine clear sky for star watching. We are looking forward to returning...

Lovely Location

House was exactly as advertised and very clean. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. The location on the lake was amazing. There are a lot of steps to get there but it wasn't an issue. All houses in this area have a steep incline. House is in walking distance to the state park which was wonderful for the mornings. We also walked to the Esperanza Mansion for dinner which was great. I highly recommend this house for its cleanliness, comfort and especially its location!

September 2017 Stay

We have rented on this lake for many many years. This was by far one of the best lake homes we have rented. It was very well-equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen, deck and lakeside. Very good parking too. We look forward to renting again!

Great House with Great Views

We stayed at Chateau Esperanza for a ladies' wine weekend and had such a great time staying at this rental home. This is our 3rd rental experience and it was by far the best. The kitchen was so well stocked with all the cookware you could need. It was open to the dining room and living room, making it nice for socializing. The 3 bedrooms were very roomy and comfortable. The best feature was the wonderful deck overlooking Keuka Lake. Great place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. The house has some beachfront with a dock and we were very fortunate to have warm weather so we were able to do some swimming. The house even had some floats to use in the water. This is a great place to stay if you want to do the Keuka Lake wineries, which I found a lot more low key and relaxed than the Seneca Lake wineries. However, it is a short drive to get over to the West shore of Seneca Lake. We visited both lakes. We took advantage of the home's wonderful kitchen and gas grill and cooked all our meals so I cannot really provide a restaurant recommendation. The only caution I would have is for people that might have a difficulty with stairs. There are stairs from the parking area to the house and quite a few stairs to get to the beach.
