Finger Lakes Bed & Breakfast is a casually comfortable 1840's Italianate mansion located on 4.5 acres of manicured lawn and woods with nature trail. Each of our five guest rooms has a private bath en suite, HD TV's with DVD player, air conditioning and wonderful views. Awake to the sounds of birds chirping and breezes blowing through the trees, then head down to a freshly prepared gourmet breakfast featuring local and home grown ingredients. Though secluded, Finger Lakes B&B is only one half mile from the center of Penn Yan and Keuka Lake, and both the Keuka and Seneca Lake wine trails are easily accessible.

5 out of 5Wonderful!
April 30, 2013
I just completed a huge review on Trip Advisor, so please check it out! We loved this place but what really made it so wonderful was Cindy and Casey, the owners. They are delightful, interesting and welcoming people. They have the gift of hospitality! I love the sophisticated, yet simple decor and the openness of the rooms with allowance for sunshine to stream in. Cindy is a great cook and Casey is a terrific musician. Don't think twice about going here - just go!

I stayed at the Finger Lakes B&B with a friend for a wine trail weekend. I was a little nervous when I arrived as I've never stayed at a B&B before. I must say, this is a wonderful way to travel. Casey and Cindy make you feel so welcome and very comfortable. They are warm and so helpful - they put you at ease immediately. The house is just lovely and spotlessly clean. Cindy is a great cook serving a sumptuous breakfast each day. Casey gave us great tips about restaurants and wineries in the area. I am already planning a return visit to introduce my husband to this cozy spot. Thank you Casey and Cindy - a new B&B convert is born!
5 out of 5The perfect spot!
April 28, 2013
We recently stayed here for a weekend getaway while touring Wine Country. Casey met us, gave us a tour and, as we shared we had no plans and were open to suggestions, sat down with us to give us tons of helpful advice and tips on planning our days (wineries and dining). The locations and grounds are perfect - very convenient for Keuka & Seneca touring; the house is wonderfully restored but not 'over the top, period-fussy,' they have mixed local art and modern, comfortable furnishings throughout. The beds were really comfortable, rooms quiet & house and bathrooms are spotless! Upon returning from day one of touring, we had options of outdoor covered porches or lawn seating to choose from when enjoying our recently purchased, local wine. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces so you can socialize or enjoy solitude as you wish. Cindy's breakfasts are ... Delicious and wonderful! There are breads or treats, fruits and parfaits, coffee and juices and that is all before the breakfast entree; absolutely delicious and a great way to start the day! Casey and Cindy are both so open and friendly. It was such a pleasure meeting them and enjoying their hospitality and home; I can't wait to return!

April 22, 2013
We could not find a complaint about The Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast (formerly the Top 'O the Lake B & B) if we tried! When we arrived we were treated warmly and made to feel right at home. Casey and Cindy helped us plan our winery visits by providing pamphlets, maps, and feedback and then helped us find a nice place to go for dinner, drinks, and entertainment. When we got back to the B&B that evening, Casey and his friends were playing music for us, while Cindy introduced us to everyone, made us feel at home, and taught us about the history of Penn Yan and the building itself. The B & B was beautiful, romantic, and impeccably clean - and Cindy is a PHENOMENAL COOK to boot! We can't wait to go back!

January 17, 2013
The beautiful old house is renovated, and gives a very home-like and welcoming feeling. In addition to the lovely rooms we also really enjoyed the common areas, like sitting by the fire-place reading a book in the afternoon when we got back from our day. Cindy and Casey are lovely and super helpful. The breakfasts are amazing!

We got married in this town and the Innkeepers at FingerLakes Bed & Breakfast were wonderful. They helped with dressing and a few pictures. Their honeymoon package which included a private self-chosen breakfast was perfect. The pictures don't do them justice. You will enjoy your stay! Thanks for treating us so well. Alisha and Bear
