What Our Guests Say
Don't just take our word for it
Excellent location! Quiet enough to relax and close enough to “downtown,” the lake, and the grocery to be super convenient.

Great place to stay when visiting Hammondsport. This will be our new "base camp" when in the Finger Lakes! Very, very clean and great location!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Hubbs Cellar! This cozy place was extrememly private, and had all the essentials needed for our mini vacay. Just steps to the lake and downtown Hammondsport where you can find everything you need. Great water sports rental, right there on the lake, where we rented a pontoon boat with a slide! Don't let the word "Celler" throw you off! Just a few steps down into the most charming bright and comfortable oasis. The furniture is top of the line, and linens are a dream! The coffee and wine bar is wonderful for your early mornings and relaxing evenings snuggling up to the fireplace on those cool summer nights. We would highly recommend Walter's Hubbs house! His communication was excellent and quick to answer questions as well as checking in to make sure we were happy! Thank you again for outstanding hospitality. Hope to be back!

This was perfect for our holiday weekend stay in the Finger Lakes. Cozy and private with plenty of space for us and our two dogs. Location was only a block or two from restaurants in Hammondsport or the park on the lake. We would definitely stay here again.
Heidi Fisher
Walter was very communicative and accommodating during our stay. He provided great local recommendations and made sure we had everything for our stay. We will definitely be back!
Maggie Kisick
We enjoyed our stay at the Hubbs Cellar for 2 nights over Halloween weekend. The location was perfect, situated right in the quaint village of Hammondsport and walkable to plenty spots for breakfast and dinner with an easy drive to many of the wineries along Keuka Lake. If we were there for an extended period, the kitchen is also a great perk to have access to cook in as well. The place was so spacious and just like the photos. Everything was clean, easily accessible, and just perfect. We would love to stay again on a future visit to Hammondsport!
Kristen Bauer
