What Our Guests Say

Don't just take our word for it

We loved staying here! Everything was very clean and Walter was so kind!!

Hubbs Cellar was absolutely stunning! The space was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Everything was so well thought out, warm and welcoming and had everything we could need for our stay. Walter was a great host as he maintained communication throughout our stay. He offered suggestions, coupons and a bottle of wine for our stay. He was very responsive and was always making sure we were enjoying all the place had to offer. We stay in quite a few Airbnbs when we travel and Hubbs Cellar was far superior to other places we’ve stayed in and was way above our expectations. We will definitely stay here in the future when we visit Hammondsport again!

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 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!

Stayed for a few nights for a little getaway. Didn't cook, but looks like they are well set up for that. Very well appointed and comfy with great communications and attention to detail. Super clean. Particularly loved the automatic fireplace. Short walk to lake, groceries, multiple restaurants. Short drive to wineries, Curtiss museum. Highly recommend.

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The hosts were there for anything we needed and offered great recommendations for dinner and other attractions on the area. The location is awesome..only steps from Keuka Lake and Hammondsport Village. Only a short drive to Keuka Outlet Trail where we hike waterfalls and Seneca was close as well! The Cellar was so cozy and had anything you could need. Pet friendly is definitely a plus! Can’t wait to go back! Thank you to Walter and Meredith

My wife and I stayed at JJ 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 JJ Hubbs Cellar when visiting Hammondsport on Keuka Lake. You won’t be disappointed.
