Please read BEFORE you book your stay:

This home has been beautifully restored and meticulously maintained. We are excited to share this piece of history with our guests. We expect our guests to treat this home with the care and respect its history deserves. If you have particularly rowdy or destructive children (or adults!) in your group, this is NOT the house for you. There are beautiful original details to be mindful of - stained glass, pocket doors, glass cabinets, french doors, woodwork, etc. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.

For the History Buffs:

The Champlin House was once owned by Charles Davenport Champlin. In 1860, Mr. Champlin started Pleasant Valley Wine Company, the very first winery in the Finger Lakes region! It still stands today, two miles south of the Village of Hammondsport. The winery is best known for Great Western Champagne.
