If you've never been, make time to visit this adorable finger lakes town. From Craig's property you can walk to town and the lake front in about 5- 10 minutes. The local shops and restaurants are all wonderful. The property truly feels like a home. My husband and dogs were able to relax and enjoy our time together. The kitchen is well stocked to be able to cook and enjoy a meal. We ended up extending our stay and Craig had more supplies dropped off. Having both a regular coffee pot and a keurig was nice!
The house is perfectly located for a three-day weekend in the Finger Lakes. We especially love how close it is to our three favorite wineries, Dr. Frank, Weis, and Domaine Leseurre - all on Keuka Lake. Walking a few blocks to the heart of Hammonsport for dinner is so convenient. This visit (our second staying at this house) we discovered the Park Inn restaurant . It was was so delicious we went twice.
Your home was so welcoming and comfortable. We did a fair amount of sitting on the porch and enjoyed it very much. Everything we could have needed was right there and we had a great visit.
We really enjoyed our weekend in this cozy home. It had lots of space and was well equipped. The yard was great for barbecuing and having a drink by the fire pit. Of course the cute downtown of Hammondsport is only a short walk away. We found our new favorite breakfast Vern’s so yummy. The wineries, breweries and distilleries are near by too. We did some hikes in the area. The main reason we were here was it’s great location compared to the race track. The weekend worked out perfect. We will be back!
We had a very nice stay here in August. Everything about the house was orderly, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed walking down to the lake and exploring the area
We my sister and two of my brothers had a great time going on hiking trails, wine tasting. This house was clean and in a great central point to get to everything. The owner of always got back to us if we had any questions. I would differently stay here again if needed
Our stay at this beautifully renovated Victorian house was truly delightful. Visiting the area for the first time, we were impressed by how clean and cozy the house was. The walk to town was perfect, and we found the town itself to be utterly charming.
One evening, we enjoyed delicious ice cream at Crooked Lake, and we returned the next morning for a delicious breakfast. The provided kayaks allowed us to explore the lake, and we made great use of the grill each night for dinner.
Our adventures took us to the Corning Museum of Glass and on a stunning hike at Watkins Glen. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we are grateful for such a wonderful stay!
Had a wonderful long weekend! Home was super clean & with all the needed amenities & more. Nice back yard area for visiting & enjoying a glass of wine & grilled dinners. Easy walking distance to little Hammondsport town. Home is dog friendly plus neighborhood provides pleasant dog walking area with sidewalks & well kept Victorian homes & gardens. Craig was very helpful & responsive to questions. This was much more than a rental property. It was clearly a family home. Keep in mind, stairway to second floor with bedrooms is steep which was not a problem for us but if you are elderly with mobility concerns, keep that in mind. Location to many good wineries was also a big plus. About 30 minutes to Hermann Weimer, 10 minutes to Weis, and ~10 to Dr. Frank. Definitely would stay here again.
This was a great spot for us. The property was a charming older home with lots of character, but all the amenities you could need. Great, big backyard and lovely neighborhood. Nearly immediate responses from the host. Thanks for the nice stay.
Home was awesome and had everything you could need. Good communication and check-in process was easy. Nice quiet neighborhood with short walk into town. Would stay again.
We had a wonderful stay at the house in Hammondsport! It was clean, roomy and comfortable. Having a washer and dryer available was nice too.
The location is great as you’re close to downtown and the lake-all within walking distance. We would recommend this house!
This was the perfect home base for a weekend of winery touring. We loved being in Hammondsport just a short walk to the town square and Keuka Lake.
Plenty of room to relax in the evenings drinking wine and talking. House would work perfectly for three couples or a full family. This trip was just four people and we all had a wonderful time and even stayed to catch the total eclipse. We hope to return next year.
We needed a place for family members traveling to Hammondsport for a funeral. This house was so clean and comfortable for everyone. I would definitely recommend this place for families!
The house was in a safe neighborhood and within walking distance to downtown area. Easy (half-hour) drive to other sites, such as Watkins Glen to hike the gorge.
My wife and I were very impressed from the moment we walked in. Very clean and fully stocked with all the items you need in a house. This place has a small town feel and located in a very nice neighborhood. Craig was an awesome host. He gave us recommendations and where to eat and get some great views of Keuka Lake. If we make it back to Hammondsport we will definitely stay again.
This is our second time staying at Craig's house. It is super conveniently located to restaurants in Hammondsport as well as many wineries. Everything worked out well and it is nice to have the firepit and other features of the house to take advantage of during the stay.
Overall a very good experience.

About the host
Hosted by Craig Romig
This home was bought several years ago and renovated as my parent's retirement home. For the last several years it has served as a vacation home for the entire family, including my father, sisters and their families. We will continue to use the home on occasion but wanted to open it up to share with others as it's a unique little town. It's truly an amazing home and area so we don't want to give it up but also don't want it sitting empty for a good part of the year. We think you'll find it as special as we do!
