The Hill Cottage

When traveling west on Crescent Beach, 700 Crescent Beach is at the end off the street. DO NOT USE THE ESPERANZA ROUTE TO GET TO OUR PLACE TAKE THE TOWNSNED RD ROUTE. Turn into the long driveway that brings you up our private little place sheltered with large trees. Children have referred to our place as a tree house. The original building was built 1910. The living room is surrounded with the original large windows that swing open. You can sit in the living room in privacy listening to many different birds or go down to the beach and onto platform dock where you can sit and look at the beautiful view down the lake. Our beach is shallow water, perfect for children, even toddlers. There is a newer kitchen that is spacious and convenient. There are stairs down to a deck and then stairs down to the beach. We also have a tram that brings you down to the beach. The beach has a fire pit for an evening fire. There is also a walk you can take to the Keuka Lake State Park, walking on the private road behind our cottage to Esperanza Rd and into the park. We offer three sit on Kayaks along with life jackets. Paddle to the end of Crescent Beach to marshy lands where you may see a Heron take flight. Here you will also find the entrance to Sugar Creek, paddle up the creek and find turtles basking in the sun or catch a peek at a beaver's dam. Our place offers a unique experience for those who want an escape to nature without ties to the modern world.
