Wine Country Stays in the Finger Lakes

Hammondsport · B&B

Six rooms in the T.M. Younglove Octagon House, an 1859 Italianate stucco-and-stone building on the National Register of Historic Places and a well-preserved example of the mid-19th-century octagon-house movement. It sits on 3 acres in Hammondsport with an on-site spa. Full English and Irish breakfast is included, with vegan and gluten-free options. Keuka Lake wineries are a short drive.

Skaneateles · B&B

A turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival farmhouse at 3061 West Lake Road, across from Skaneateles Lake. The 6 guest rooms have gas fireplaces, whirlpool tubs and enclosed porches, and look out over meadows, vineyards and the farm's barn and stables. A full country breakfast is included, and the village of Skaneateles is a short drive north.

Hector · Inn

A restaurant on Route 414 in Hector, on the east side of Seneca Lake, open since 1999, with a guest house of 4 units in a remodeled farmhouse next door. About 80% of the ingredients come from regional farms. The units range from an apartment with a full kitchen to a room with a balcony over the vineyards, and both the cafe and the guest house are open from early April to mid-November.

Lodi · B&B

An 1885 Victorian on 2.7 acres along Route 414 in Lodi, on the east side of Seneca Lake, with a deck overlooking the water and a koi pond. The 5 rooms each have a sitting area, and one has a balcony. A full breakfast is included and served every morning, year-round. Vineyards surround the property.

Ithaca · Inn

The former Rose Inn in Groton, rebuilt as the John Joseph Inn and Elizabeth Restaurant after a 2004 fire destroyed the original 1851 Italianate mansion. Chef-owner John Hamilton reopened in 2006 with 6 guest rooms and a restaurant that draws from local farms and changes its menu with the seasons. The mahogany spiral staircase, built by carpenter William Houser in 1922–24, partly survived the fire and was restored. The property sits on 10 acres, 20 miles from Ithaca.
