Sheridan House-Studio:upscale apartment on Main St
This studio apartment is located in the 19th century commercial district in Penn Yan. A second-floor walkup studio apartment, the Studio has been completely renovated and offers modern amenities while maintaining its historic character.
The street entry door opens to a flight of stairs shared by the Sheridan House Studio and the Sheridan House Suite. The Studio is an open studio apartment with the kitchen, living, and bed areas all contained in one open area. Tall windows grace the front of the apartment and offer a view of downtown and Main Street.
The full kitchen is stocked with cookware, dinnerware for 2, a full-size dishwasher, a drip coffee maker, and has a large peninsula with counter-height seating. The sitting area has a large tv, loveseat, armchairs and flows into the space where the cozy king size bed is situated.
The bathroom is beautifully updated with white tile and has a tub/shower. There are two large closets off the main living area: one with plenty of storage for clothing and other items, another with a full-sized washer and dryer.
The Studio is the perfect 'home away from home' apartment, whether you're traveling for work, with your significant other, or finding time away by yourself. You'll love the coffee shop down the street, Amity Coffee Co, the Burnt Rose wine bar below (which often features live music in the evenings) and you'll find restaurants and bars just across the street or within a block of the apartment. If you're looking for a modern, comfortable apartment to stay in during your time in Penn Yan, the Studio is just the place for you!
Originally constructed in 1880 by John Sheridan as the Sheridan House Hotel, this historic property has long welcomed guests from near and far to enjoy everything the Finger Lakes has to offer. The first floor below the apartment, which boasted an oyster bar in the late 19th century, today houses a locally owned and operated wine bar. Guests may be able to hear some muffled noise and music from the wine bar below the apartment. The wine bar is restricted from operating or making noise late at night, although they do have live music multiple evenings a week. Quiet hours begin for them at 10PM each night in order to minimize potential disruption to our guests.

Perfect location right on Main Street. Plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops and grocery stores in walking distance. Apartment was beautiful and every amenity provided. Many good wineries and breweries within a short drive. Highly recommend staying at the Sheridan House if coming to Penn Yan!
We had a fabulous, comfortable stay at the property. The location was perfect and accomodations went above and beyond. This is absolutely where we would hope to stay next time we visit Penn Yan.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at the Sheridan House!
The location was perfect with restaurants and bars in walking distance.
Parking was available behind the building.
The space was clean and had everything we needed.
We had a great time here. The proprietors were very helpful and the studio was clean, comfortable and just as advertised. It was a little loud at night but the noise machine provided drowned out most of the street noise. Overall a perfect place for a long weekend in the fingerlakes!

We hope you enjoyed your time in the Finger Lakes! As noted in our listing description, the apartment is located on the second floor of the building with local businesses located below. Those shops do all close at 9 or 10pm. We have since added clear acoustical window panels to the windows, greatly reducing any street noise.
We loved our stay! Perfect little romantic getaway. It was very easy to get to and into. Very clean. Very cozy. Climate control was great. Wonderful place to stay with easy access to great restaurants, the water, and the wine trail.
This is a great place to stay when visiting the finger lakes. It’s centrally located so Watkins Glen, Canandaigua, & Geneva are all less than an hour away. There must be 50 or more wineries in the area, and the waterfalls & views are spectacular! There are 20 steps up to the studio, but if you’re here to see the falls, they have more steps. Great stay!
My husband and I had a wonderful time in The Finger Lakes and enjoyed our stay at this studio in Penn Yan. It was nice exploring a new town with access to so much within walking distance. 18th Amendment and Amity coffee shop are a must try when staying here! Everything we needed was in the unit, highly recommend.
Beautiful historic building with a thoughtfully updated studio. So comfortable and helpful labels everywhere! Great wine bar/restaurant on first level.
Perfect place to stay in Penn Yan. The wine bar below is a gem! Couple that owns it is lovely and food, drinks and service was great! Definitely make a reservation for brunch! The only little down side of this place was the steep steps to carry up luggage. We underestimated the time to take our luggage down and around back to the car. It was lovely place to stay. Highly reccomend!
Sheridan House Studio delivers the perfect getaway accommodations through its quiet and comfortable environment, as well as its location to coffee/shops/restaurants! The convenience of literally walking out the door and being able to begin each morning at Amity Coffee was immeasurable. The proximity to hikes, vineyards and again being able to enjoy dinners at Burnt Rose Wine Bar and 18th Amendment by just walking downstairs made our getaway fun-filled and delicious! Perfect appropriate amount of check-in texts and reminder e-mails - all were so helpful. Parking was easy and not even a thought, exactly what you want when trying to relax. We would recommend this stay to any family or friends for every kind of trip or celebration!
Loved every thing about this studio apartment especially the location! We didn’t need to get into the car. Walk to breakfast, walk to activities, walk to grocery and walk to dinner. Absolutely perfect. Studio was spotless and had everything you need.
My wife and I chose this charming loft to stay in during our trip to the Fingerlakes area and I have to say that it was just right for us. We loved it!
The space is not very big, but perfectly designed and decorated. From the kitchen area with the marble countertops and seating in the back of the peninsula, to the cozy sitting are in front of the TV and last but not least the super comfortable king-size bed. Everything was as clean as it could be!
The location was great, too. Right on Main Street, just above a really nice wine bar. I also have to say that the minimal noise coming from downstairs in the evenings wasn't an issue at all. It was all quiet at bedtime.
There was a great restaurant ( 18th Amendment) a couple of doors down, and the coffee shop at the corner just rounded off a great weekend for us.
Thank you Myron and Joleen!
We will be back.
The Sheridan House- Studio was the perfect location for our Finger Lakes getaway. The property was clean and modern, and was very convenient being downtown.
If in the area again, we would definitely stay here, or try one of the other Sheridan properties next door.
The space was very clean and quiet with excellent amenities. The location was convenient to all attractions that were on our list. We wholeheartedly recommend this rental!
