Hubbs Cellar was a wonderful place to stay for a few days to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. Walter was very responsive throughout the entire time, from booking to post departure. He met us when we arrived, making sure we were satisfied with the suite and provided restaurant recommendations, including a two-for-one coupon for a drink at The Hidden Cork. The spacious suite was spotless, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. We greatly appreciated the bottle of wine Walter & Meredith had waiting for us when we arrived. We loved the custom woodwork of the dining room set and coffee bar. The fireplace made the living room nice and cozy. Also, enjoyed being a short walk to stores, the bakery, and restaurants. Highly recommend this place!!

This lovely place in Hammondsport was perfect for a first ever trip to the Finger Lakes. It is extremely well appointed and very clean. The furniture and bed are high quality and very comfortable. The space is quite large for a one bedroom and has a beautiful dining room. We appreciated the special coffee and the complimentary bottle of local wine! Its location close to the lake and restaurants and shops is also perfect. We will definitely look to stay again if we come back to the area.

Walter was a fantastic host, very accommodating and takes personal pride in the listing and it shows! It was a short trip for my brother in laws 100k race but we will be back! If you are looking for something on or near Keuka lake this is a must stay!

We loved Hammondsport and this place was right in the middle of everything, easy to walk to the lake, restaurants, ice cream and breakfast. The place was clean and simple, would definitely visit again!
Lynne Aston
We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return in a heartbeat! The location is unbeatable. We could see the lake right from the property & easily walk down to it, stroll into town for shopping & dining, & visit the grocery store across the street (& the public library was just steps away, a treat for the book lovers in our group!) The whole area is incredibly scenic. The unit itself was beautifully decorated, cozy, and felt like a real home away from home. It was spacious enough for the three of us, with comfortable beds, plenty of seating, and gorgeous natural light throughout. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook and eat. Walter was an outstanding host. Very communicative, thoughtful, and attentive. The directional signage around the property was much-appreciated & made everything seamless from the moment we arrived. Highly recommend this stay!
Andrea Reed Rodgers

Walter Brown
Excellent location! Quiet enough to relax and close enough to “downtown,” the lake, and the grocery to be super convenient.
Christina Crimi
We had a great 4 day vacation staying in the Junior Suite. We have been to Keuka Lake many times and decided it would be fun to stay in Hammondsport for a change. We loved being able to walk around the charming little town and the public lake beach is perfect for swimming. We went on many gorgeous early morning hikes and swam all afternoon. We loved coming home to the Junior Suite at the end of the day. It far exceeded our expectations. It is much more spacious than we thought it would be. The kitchen and living room area has so much space and is great for cooking and spending time together. We slept great in the very comfortable bed. We loved that the library was across the street and the lake can be seen down the street. We definitely plan to come again and highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay at Walter’s place. The space is warm, inviting and had plenty of space. The bed was very comfortable and I slept like a baby both nights. We had a cozy night in our second night & loved using the fireplace to warm up along with blankets, a very comfortable sectional and a movie. Walter was a superb host- friendly, responsive and very helpful. Hammondsport is an adorable town & made for a great first visit to wine country. We will be back!
