Penn Yan is nestled on the north shores of Keuka Lake, and is centrally located in the heart of the entire region. You’ll be about 50 miles from Ithaca where, if you choose, you can explore the city’s shops, museums, and the historic campus at Cornell University.

About 30 minutes from our Penn Yan vacation homes is Watkins Glen State Park, where a trail meanders past 19 cascading waterfalls—you can even walk beneath some of them. The stone bridges appear to be made from the rocks themselves, and in the autumn the surrounding trees are alight with color.
After your morning hike, stop by the Penn Yan Diner for a hearty stack of the best pancakes in town. You’ll love the retro feel of this cozy space, with only 10 tables plus counter seating. If it’s a Saturday, pop by the Windmill Farm and Craft Market to explore 50 unique vendors selling baked goods, crafts, and more. It’s open between April and December and often features live music and dance performances. If you just can’t get enough northeastern flair, Wagers Cider Mill is a great spot for a sweet treat—apple cider and apple cider donuts, to be exact.

From the trendy Three Brothers—wine slushie, anyone?—to the high-end Belhurst Castle, you won’t be short of options. The tasting room at Keuka Spring Vineyards is just minutes from our Penn Yan vacation rentals, for an easy trip.
