Down to every little detail the house was beautiful. The tea cups and magazine quotes on every bed is how we picked our rooms. The hot tub and fire pit were great. We thank you for a beautiful stay and apologize for being loud the one evening.

It’s a Wonderful House

We had an enjoyable stay. Location was convenient, walking distance to downtown and within 15 minutes of a half dozen wineries. We were surprised how much we liked Penn Yan as a community. We had five couples so the 5 bedrooms worked great and the ample parking and yard space accommodated us well. Hot tub was a nice added feature. Two bathrooms (one with only a handheld shower) was a bit challenging but we made it work. Communication with the host was clear and responsive up until getting there but we had no reason to communicate while we there. I would recommend!

Southern Hospitality Feel

Hot tub and fire pit were great. Had to get firewood though. No toilettes provided unlike other vrbos we have stayed at. Beds are truly high, but are very soft and comfortable.

Excellent Experience

We were very happy with the location and the house. Every convenience possible, but also a top tier hot tub in perfect condition as well as a perfect outdoor grill. Very pretty and quiet location as well. One guest was dependent on a cane for most of the time, but could manage the gentle slope of the lawn and soft turf. Just perfect.

Victorian Beauty

Nestled on the prettiest Main Street and in the heart of the Finger Lakes, this Victorian Beauty has everything you need for a wonderful getaway! The location between Keuka and Seneca Lake was ideal for us because we wanted to do both wine trails and water sports. The home has a well equipped kitchen, amazing backyard complete with a superb hot tub and firepit, and 5 beautifully decorated bedrooms. The small details like the teacup and book on the bed did not go unnoticed. The house is filled with character and charm. The beds were very comfortable. I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the house and the area. The owner/host was excellent with communication and check in and check out went smoothly. We would love to stay here again upon returning to the Finger Lakes.

Short stop in Penn Yan

An older house with many updates. The mattresses were wonderful and are probably new. The house is an easy walking distance to the downtown Penn Yan shops and restaurants. Easy communication with the owner.

Beautiful and well decorated

This place is absolutely gorgeous and feels very private. The only complaint I have was the owner stated one of the clips on the hot tub was broken and I would be charged $100. I secured them myself and they were in working order. When I disagreed he pretty much called me a liar. I had to tell him twice not to contact me before he stopped.The hot tub is in area where anyone from the neighborhood can walk on the property. I would suggest taking pics before you leave so it doesnt happen to you. Otherwise our stay was enjoyable

Bachelorette weekend

We loved this house!!!! Sweet and quiet neighborhood. Rooms were gorgeous! A sweet quote in a magazine and a tea cup await on every bed. Comfortbale mattress and pillows, air conditioning in all the rooms! We made breakfast and dinner there and everything you could need is there! Enjoy the hot tub then hang out in one of the living rooms. All details in this beautiful home did not go unnoticed. I even googled the curtains because they are beautiful!!!! Stay. Here. You wont regret it!
