The house
The kitchen…a bit small but we made it work.
The bedrooms
The kids enjoyed feeding the horses that were on property. They love carrots and apples.
The decks on the back of the house gave us the perfect place to paint and enjoy our meals. There was a bit of haze in the air from the wildfires in Canada…really not an issue because it made sitting outside a little cooler.
The evening views of the sunset were amazing.
Stan has helped all three of Kyle’s kids learn to ride without training wheels at a summer rental. Hattie has now mastered riding a bike.
We enjoyed how close this house was to the water and the great water access. We spent most of our time either in the water or on it.
We were a bit rusty on this little sunfish sailboat…next year we will do better.
Kyle and Cora enjoyed a paddle on the lake one morning.
On Tuesday morning we enjoyed hiking part of the Keuka Lake Outlet Trail. We started close to Seneca Mills Falls. At one time this was a canal that connected Keuka Lake to Seneca Lake. Once in Seneca Lake goods could be moved into the Erie Canal more market places.

Cooling off in the creek.
Brytanie and Graham had to drive home on Tuesday to attend a middle school orientation. So the guys went back to the Keuka Outlet Trail another morning and rode most of the trail on their bikes.
One of our favorite places to visit whenever we are close to Penn Yan is the Spotted Duck Creamery. All their ice cream is made with duck eggs.
The second hike we did was to the Eggleston Falls through the Eggleston Glen. This was a new find for us. We’ve been in the area for nine seasons and I’ve never heard of this one before. It was a nice hike up the creek although the water flow was very low and the 80′ waterfall was almost dry.
