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.

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

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.

Perfect location in Penn Yan

This very large Victorian house was charming and well located between Seneca Lake and Keuka Lake. It had five good sized bedrooms. The bed in our room was comfortable, although all of them were VERY high off the ground! The house was very clean. It had two full baths, but the one bath was off of the kitchen and had a tub with a handheld spray faucet but not a shower. Another full bath would have been helpful. I reached out to the host the day before we got there to find out how I would get the code to the door. He said he would text it to me at 4:00. 4:00 came and went and nothing. At 5:30 I reached out to VRBO. Eventually they got the host on the phone who said it was emailed to me. I didn't get it. I had to ask for them to give it to me verbally - they wanted to send it again. Well if I didn't get it the first time, why would I risk not getting it the second time. And if you are going to email it, don't tell me you are texting it. The host responded to me leading up to my stay most, but not all, of the time. I saw the other negative comments regarding the host, so I was somewhat prepared. Even with the check in aggravation, the house was worth it.

We had such a lovely stay! The property was very clean and "new" feeling. A wonderful kitchen with everything we could need. The yard was lovely and private with plenty of room for playing games and romping with the dogs. Nearby to Corning Glass Museum, wineries and kayaking. We had a really nice vacation! Thank you!
