Tug Boat Inn - Cozy Pet-Friendly Home close to Award-Winning Wineries!

Welcome to Tug Boat Inn, your perfect Finger Lakes vacation rental on beautiful Keuka Lake. This vacation home offers stunning lake views from the great room, upscale amenities, and a convenient location just 10 minutes from historic downtown Penn Yan.

Spread across three levels, this cozy cottage comfortably sleeps up to eight guests and is thoughtfully designed for both togetherness and privacy. The main entrance on the second floor leads to two inviting bedrooms—one with a queen bed overlooking the lake, and the other with a full bed facing a lovely garden. A full bathroom and a smart TV entertainment area with a full-size sleeper sofa bed complete this level.

Downstairs, you'll find the heart of the home: an open great room with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic lake views. The kitchen features granite countertops and updated appliances, opening into a living space with a second smart TV. Enjoy meals at the dining table or the kitchen bar while soaking in the peaceful lake atmosphere. Step out onto the spacious covered porch with comfortable seating and a farmhouse-style table that seats eight—a perfect spot to savor your morning coffee or evening cocktails.

On the lake level, a private suite offers a queen bedroom, bathroom with shower, and a kitchenette with a mini fridge and coffeemaker. This serene retreat provides direct access to the grassy lawn, fire pit, and gentle lake steps, making it easy to swim, kayak, or relax by the water.

Tug Boat Inn is dog-friendly, making it ideal for bringing along your furry family members. The private dock and gradual lake entry provide plenty of options for water activities, whether you're fishing, swimming, or paddling on a kayak.

Nearby, explore some of the Finger Lakes' best wineries including Rooster Hill, Keuka Springs, and Ravines Wine Cellars. The charming town of Hammondsport, the Switzerland Inn restaurant, and the Windmill Farm and Craft Market are all just a short drive away.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful lakeside escape or a base for Finger Lakes adventures, Tug Boat Inn offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and scenic beauty for your next vacation home.
