This was a wonderful ,small cabin. It rained during our stay but Penn Yam was full of interesting shops and restaurants. My husband caught a fish during a break in the rain, easy access into the lake with our kayaks. We will be returning soon.

My Husband and I just returned a couple weeks ago from our first trip to the Finger Lakes. Hall's Great Escape was the perfect cottage for us. It was quaint, clean and had everything we needed. The cottage was close enough to where we wanted to be. We visited Watkins Glen and many of the Wineries in and around Seneca & Keuka Lakes. We loved how close the cottage is to the water and wished we booked our trip earlier in the summer so that we could enjoy more daylight time outside the cottage. Although, the scenery all around was breathtaking with all the Fall colors! Our only regret was not staying longer. We would definitely love to come back to Hall's Grape Escape!

We initially picked Halls Grape Escape because it is one of very few that offer both internet and washer/dryer. What we found on arrival was great, had that intangible "this is NICE" factor. All our needs were covered. Clean, well-kept inside and out. Owners provide very comfortable accommodations while maintaining timeless cottage charm. Hall's Grape Escape is in a peaceful Bluff location, also close to Penn Yan grocery stores and Seneca Farms! Municipal water source is a nice plus. Owners are friendly, business-like, and communicate promptly.

The cottage is exactly how the pictures showed it, bright and airy. Everything was clean and in good condition. The view on the lake was amazing all day and night. We enjoyed the local wineries, some historic buildings in Penn Yann and even a trip up to Niagara Falls. Super relaxing, can't wait to go back!

The Grape Escape was just right for a girls weekend! We were able to shop in Hammondsport, enjoy Finger Lakes wine tastings and local cuisine during the day, then late afternoon return to the cottage for happy hour and dinner. Sitting in the wonderful Adirondack chairs by a fire with a glass of Finger Lakes wine was the perfect way to end the day! We will definitely be return guests at the Grape Escape! Thank you Scott for sharing your family's cottage!

Comfortable, clean home on a beautiful lake. Owners provide helpful guidance so you can enjoy all the place has to offer. We fished, swam, shopped, played cards, and relaxed in the evenings around the fire pit sipping Finger Lakes wine. Picnic table by the water for lakeside meals of fresh fish. Keuka is an excellent smallmouth bass fishery, and we landed some bronzebacks over 20". Our grown kids renewed childhood rivalries on the N64 game console provided. Neighbors were quite friendly without being intrusive. This entire region is just gorgeous. Take in stunning views from the local wineries, especially Heron Hill and McGregor. Rieslings and some Cabs are very good. All in all, a wonderful week! We'd love to return.

The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived and everything was as advertised. A lovely view, quiet, and relaxing environment. Owner communicated effectively leaving nothing to chance. Many great places to visit close by and close to town. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation. The value of the experience far exceeds the rental price.

We come up to Keuka Lake once a year from DC for a week in the summer and last year, was thrilled to find this cottage. So thrilled we are booked again this August. Location is ideal - quiet in the bluff but still close to Penn Yan. If you rent a boat, easy ride across the lake to The Switz. Screened in porch was a great place for lunch and dinner and the Adirondack Chairs on the various decks and grass plus the hammock gave plenty options for relaxing. Looking foward to returning.

My family and I can't say enough good things about Hall's Grape Escape. From the fully functional cottage, to the idealic lakeside setting including lounging in the comfortable Adirondack chairs in the shade to the beautiful vineyard across the street to the perfect water to swim in with the friendly fish to the gracious neighbors on either side- this is a great place! That's why we come back year after year. We're not a religious people, but if there is a heaven on earth, this is the place. Enjoy.

My two friends and I rented this cottage last weekend for a girls getaway weekend. We had a great time. Hall's Grape Escape was PERFECT. It was VERY clean and cozy. It had a beautiful view of the lake from both inside and outside. We were even provided with campfire wood for a campfire! It was very relaxing. It is close enough to visit some wineries or the Windmill. The cottage had everything you would need without bringing a thing but your clothes, food and bedding. There is a beautiful dock with Adirondack chairs to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail right on the water. Great place. Would definitely go back.
