We had a great time the house was very nice. The only think I would say is the floors in some of the bedrooms were slippery. They were waxed well lol. The house is very nice!

The property was very clean and well-maintained. the inside and outside looked exactly like the photos shown on the website. I would definitely stay here again. The only downside was my guest and I were not able to use the awning, which would have helped protect us from the rain while using the hot tub and grill. Especially considering the price paid for our stay, access to the awning would have made the experience much more enjoyable and convenient. Aside from that everything was beautiful, comfortable, and well-kept.

The house is beautiful and in a great location. Quirky decor and plenty of space to eat and hang out. Our group found it very comfortable and convenient for visiting wineries along Keuka Lake and walking around the cute downtown of Penn Yan, but we also spent time enjoying the grill, fire pit, and hot tub. Things to be aware of:-The beds are HIGH off the ground! This could be a concern if you have folks in your group who are very short and/or have mobility issues.-The upstairs bathroom has a shower; the downstairs bathroom has a tub with a shower handle and curtain, but I didn’t see a place to secure the handle, so it’s not quite as functional as a normal shower. We had a group of six and had zero issues with this, but larger groups may want to plan for it.-It’s an old house, so there are some things you can expect with that—older windows, no central AC (there were plentiful window units that kept the place quite comfortable though!), some deferred maintenance that didn’t affect our stay.

We had a great 4 day weekend staying here for a 50th birthday wine tour celebration. One of my concerns before we got there with it being a huge old Victorian house was how the A/C was going to be. There are window units in every bedroom and multiple window units downstairs. It was pretty hot the weekend we were there and we had zero issues with anyone complaining about the A/C. The house is beautiful and the the huge hedges wrapping the back yard add a ton of privacy. It was a short walk through a great neighborhood to the main part of the town. One tip, if you're walking to Lake Life Brewing, when you get to the bridge, you can take the stairs down to the path that follows the water and there's a footbridge to cross right before the brewery. Nice scenic walk that way. Only issue we had, and it was a small one, was the fridge in the pictures has a water/ice dispenser on the door, but it doesn't seem to be hooked up. So make sure to bring plenty of ice if you plan on cocktails around the firepit! Funny story, one of the couples in our group mentioned how similar the tea and books left in each bedroom were to another rental they had done for an anniversary in the Finger Lakes and how it was such a nice little touch. Turns out they were both owned by the same people.

Overall. Very nice place. A little dated. Thankful that we only had six guests versus the maximum of ten allowed, because there is really only one shower and barely enough hot water for six folks to run through it in a 2-3 hour period. Serviceable for a weekend getaway.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Mar 2026
Thank you for staying at our early 1900’s Victorian. Actually there are 2 full bathrooms and. Shower in each bath. Also we are on city water, so we have plenty if water. If there was an issue we are very responsive. The house has 5 large bedrooms which have often accommodated groups of 10. The yard is huge and private and the property is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Penn Yan. 6 minutes from Seneca Lake and 3 minutes from Keuka Lake.

Beautiful house...check in was easy and we had everything we needed for our wine weekend getaway with friends...one small minor breaker issue which was resolved quickly. Everything was clean and the hot tub was a nice bonus.Wish we could have used the awnings for shade but overall great stay.

We were only here for a quick weekend trip for a wedding, but would have loved to stay all week just to relax, sit in the hot tub, and cozy up on the couches with a good book! The home was vintage and charming, the decor was fun and sweet, and we loved the tea cups and tea on the beds! Everything was very clean, and the owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had. A beautiful weekend away.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay. Such a beautiful house. The attention to detail was appreciated. We felt like princesses in the beautiful tall, comfortable beds. The house was so well appointed. We enjoyed the hot tub, front porch, patio area and various sitting areas. We walked downtown for dinner which was amazing. Loved watching the Amish ride up and down the street on the fronch porch. Would highly recommend.
