9068 Snug Harbor Drive

About this home

Snug Harbor offers a rare chance to operate a turnkey waterfront restaurant and bar on Keuka Lake, just one mile north of Hammondsport—frequently named one of America’s Coolest Small Towns. This highly visible, seasonal destination has drawn locals and visitors alike since 1890 and is perfectly suited for a lakefront dining and cocktail concept. The space is housed in a charming three-story Eastlake Victorian with stunning architectural character and unmatched outdoor dining options. Guests can enjoy lake views from the boardwalk seating, upper deck, or covered porch—ideal for summer service, events, and live-music nights. The commercial kitchen is fully built out and ready for service, featuring two fryers, two ovens and ranges, a griddle, an Alto-Shaam, and ample room to support high-volume seasonal operation and catering. A custom sapele mahogany bar and back bar (installed in 2018) anchors the front-of-house and creates a natural gathering spot for drinks and sunset views. The building has been thoughtfully updated with new plumbing, electrical, insulation, and drywall, allowing an operator to focus on concept and execution rather than capital improvements. Assistance with the SLA licensing process is available. A major advantage is the percentage-of-sales lease structure. Instead of a large fixed rent payment, rent is tied to sales, reducing risk and overhead during startup and slower periods while providing significant upside as the business grows. An exceptional opportunity to launch or expand a restaurant concept in one of the Finger Lakes' premier waterfront locations. An ideal opportunity for an experienced operator seeking a beautiful, high-impact waterfront location with strong seasonal appeal. Owner is broker.
