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!

We had such a wonderful short stay in Juniors Suite! The space was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth and easy, and the host, Walter, was very responsive and kind. Location was perfect—close to everything we needed but still quiet and relaxing. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches that made us feel welcome. Wish we could have stayed longer, and hope to return in the future. Highly recommend!

The suite was just what we needed to enjoy an evening concert nearby while also taking in the nightlife around Hammondsport. We only stayed one night but Walter’s place could easily be enjoyed for mich longer. Location was excellent. Parking was great. Definitely recommend.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was staying at Juniors Suite . Walter was beyond professional and attentive . When we walked in the place was spotless and everything was so well thought out. They have thought of everything and I could not express how perfect the place was . We will absolutely stay there again and i am spreading the word to everyone i know to check it out. Thank you for a much needed stress free and relaxing vacation.

A good time was had by all. The dog insisted we swim in the lake. The spouse insisted we buy wine from Bully Hill vineyards.

The location couldn't be better, it's an easy walk to the lake, local restaurants, great coffee shops, and the new bridge that leads right over to Champlain Beach. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

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!
