Bachelorette Party in the
Finger Lakes

Lake Days.
Wine Nights.
Zero Regrets.

Choosing to stay with us on Keuka Lake sets the tone for a Finger Lakes bachelorette weekend done right. Your group stays lakefront, the Keuka Lake Wine Trail and local breweries are minutes away, and transportation to wineries and attractions is available—so celebrating doesn’t come with extra planning.

More celebrating. Less planning. Better views.

A Lakeside
Home Base
for Celebrating

This is more than a place to crash between tastings. When you stay with us, your rental becomes the center of the weekend. Lake access is steps away. Kayaks and canoes are ready when you are. The best of the Finger Lakes—wineries, breweries, and scenic stops—are close enough to enjoy without bouncing all over the region.

And when you’re ready to head out, transportation to local favorites is available—so your group can move together and focus on the fun, not the logistics.

How to Do a Finger Lakes Weekend Right

Bachelorette Edition

Need help planning the weekend? We’ve got you covered. From lake days to wine trails and nights out, here’s a suggested itinerary to help you make the most of a Finger Lakes bachelorette getaway—without overplanning.

Day 1: Cozy Up and Settle In

Pop the Bubbly

Kick off the weekend with a champagne toast right where you’re staying. Many of our lakeside rentals offer sweeping Keuka Lake views, private decks, and plenty of space to gather – perfect for that first “we made it” moment beore the weekend really gets going. 

Straight to the Lake

This is where the weekend really starts. Floaties, swims, dock hangs, and yes – playing mermaids – set the tone. Staying right on Keuka Lake makes it easy to relax into the day and let the celebration unfold. 

Take it Out on the Water

Ready to explore beyond the shoreline? Keuka Lake has several nearby boat rental options, including pontoon rentals and guided boat experiences. Some rentals even come with a captain, so your group can relax, enjoy the views, and keep the celebration moving without worrying about logistics.

Dinner with a view (or a short drive)

As the day winds down, dinner is easy to plan around Keuka Lake. Stay lakeside for a waterfront meal at The Switzerland Inn, Snug Harbor, Main Deck, Lakeside Restaurant & Tavern, or take a short drive into Penn Yan for spots like Nación Mezcal Reserva, 18th Amendment, or Parker’s Grille.

Looking for something a little farther out? Hammondsport offers group-friendly favorites like The Park Inn, Village Tavern Restaurant & Grill, and Timber Stone Grill—all great options for wrapping up your first night together.

Call It a Night
(or don't)

Head back to your lakeside stay and take the night wherever it goes. Fire pits, drinks on the deck, music, and easy conversation make it just as tempting to wind down as it is to keep things going a little longer.

Day 2: Sip, Explore & Celebrate

Start with coffee (and a game plan)

Fuel up before a full day ahead. Grab a Starbucks coffee close to home at The Wolf Den Café, an easy on-site option for breakfast on the go.

If you’re heading into town, The Wagner Restaurant and Amity Coffee Co. in Penn Yan are local favorites for a relaxed breakfast before the day really gets going.

Hit the Keuka Lake Wine Trail

Day two is made for the Keuka Lake Wine Trail. Spend the day tasting, exploring, and celebrating at nearby wineries and breweries like Bully Hill Vineyards, Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, Vineyard View Winery, and Stever Hill Vineyards, or mix things up with a stop at Abandoned Brewing or Laurentide Beer Company.

With transportation covered, your group can focus on the fun—no coordinating rides, no cutting the day short. It’s the easiest way to do wine tasting the Finger Lakes way.

Afternoon Reset (Your Way)

After the wine trail, the afternoon is yours. Head back to the lake for swims, dock hangs, or a little downtime—or swap lake time for something different.

Nearby day spas offer massages and wellness treatments if your group wants to slow things down for a bit. You can also explore local favorites like grabbing a scoop of ice cream at Seneca Farm or visiting the Windmill Farm & Craft Market for shopping, snacks, and a classic Finger Lakes stop.

Catered to you

Skip the reservations and bring dinner home. Our in-home chef and on-site catering options make it easy to enjoy a great group meal right where you’re staying—no planning, no coordinating, no rushing out the door. It’s a relaxed way to reset after a full day and gather everyone back together for the night ahead.

Out for the night

This is the night to go out. Keep it on the lake with The Switzerland Inn, or head into Penn Yan to make the rounds at The Tavern, Outlet 111, 18th Amendment, and Burnt Rose Wine Bar. Over in Hammondsport, Maloney’s Pub—a Jimmy Fallon favorite—and The Hidden Cork are go-to spots for a lively night out.

When you’re ready, bring it back to your lakeside stay for one last round by the water.

Day 3: Last Day, No Rush

Easy Morning at the Lake

Slow mornings hit differently on the last day. Coffee by the water, laughs about the night before, maybe even a quiet sunrise kayak—no pressure to be anywhere right away.

One More Stop

If the group’s up for it, squeeze in a short hike, scenic walk, or overlook around the Finger Lakes. These are easy to work in without much planning and are a nice way to see one more side of the region before the gang heads home.

Brunch Before You Go

Before everyone heads out, grab brunch in Penn Yan at spots like The Burnt Rose Wine Bar or Main Deck. It’s an easy final stop for good food, one last recap of the weekend, and a proper send-off before the drive home.

That's a Wrap

Pack up, do a final sweep of the house, and take one last moment by the lake before heading out (and maybe start planning your next Finger Lakes weekend).
