My family of six -- parents, young adult kids, and lab mix -- spent a week enjoying the outdoors and recovering in this remarkable home. The spacious home was tastefully decorated with a well-appreciated touch of whimsy. (Who doesn't enjoy the occasional gnome?) The kitchen was fully stocked, most paper products were provided, outdoor furniture was ample and clean, and we enjoyed the first sparkling hygenic and fully functional hot turb in our 10+ years using VRBO. (Many hot tubs were advertised, but few actually worked.) The AC also worked well when needed, and we enjoyed the smart TVs after a long day of gorge hiking, sailing, kayaking, and winery visits.
In Penn Yan, we enjoyed restaurants, wineries, Keuka Lake State Park, and ebiking the outlet trail. We also traveled to Watkins Glen for hiking, sailing, and kayaking, a 30-minute trip, and to Ithica for gorge hikes and a visit to Cornell, approximately 70 minutes out. We also drove to Hammondsport for ice cream, winery visits, and a lakeside drive, and to Geneva for quaint small-town shopping and a lakeside walk.
The host was excellent. First, Margaret was always available for questions. Second, she advertised the house as pup-friendly and it exceeded our expectations with pups bowl, critter beds, and a host of pet toys. Third, we were greeted with two local bottles of wine and a state park pass. (Nice!) And, fourth, when tropical storm Debbie felled a tree across the driveway, Margaret had it removed ASAP.
