We checked out today but we didn’t want to leave! This place is a gem. It’s close to everything, the lake, the restaurants, The Over the Bridge Wine Bar, the wineries, and the museums. Very clean and well appointed. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
Place was very clean , quiet and close to everything , Walter was great communicating and checking in making sure I didn’t need anything , look forward to staying there in the future
We stayed in Hubbs Cellar, and all of the accommodations were lovely. It was extremely comfortable and had all of the amenities you could ever need. We especially loved how close to restaurants and the lake we were. We look forward to booking with Walter and Meredith again!
My wife and I stayed at Hubbs Cellar for our honeymoon, and we were not disappointed. Located right across the street from the grocery store and just a short walk to the lakefront and charming downtown Hammondsport, it made for the perfect weekend retreat. We were greeted by the fresh scent of clean linens and a well-maintained, sparkling unit. The overall cleanliness truly stood out. The crisp sheets, cozy blankets, and tasteful decor throughout made us feel instantly at home. Walter and Meredith went the extra mile by leaving a local dry Riesling chilling in the wine fridge for us. Though we never met them in person, their hospitality and warmth were palpable through the app. They were responsive, thoughtful, and clearly wanted us to have a great stay. We highly recommend staying at Hubbs Cellar when visiting Hammondsport on Keuka Lake. You won’t be disappointed.
The house is a treasure and your stay here will be first rate. A most unique establishment.
Walter and his team were exceptional hosts while hosting our out of town guest for an extended stay at Hubbs Cellar. The place was exceptionally clean, well stocked and Walter was a great communicator. The property is centrally located in downtown Hammondsport and able to walk to the lake, shops and eateries. 10/10 recommend.
We wish we could give more than 5 stars! Walter’s place was gorgeous and a treat to stay in. It was within walking distance to all the restaurants in town and only steps away from the water. Walter was extremely kind, flexible, and communicative. He gave us great recommendations for a dog park in the area (which our dog loved) and a wine bar that we thoroughly enjoyed. He was able to check us in an hour early, and he even left us a bottle of wine as an anniversary present. The whole stay was wonderful and we can’t recommend it enough. We will definitely be back!
We loved our stay here. The unit was well appointed with everything you could need. Very quiet and great location. Walking distance to town and beautiful Keuka Lake.
