Stayed 2 nights at the Wagener Estate while touring wineries in the region. The Inn is in a very historic home (1796 I believe) but lacks charm. Many of the furnishings in the bedroom seemed out of place - neither antique nor new - rather just dated. Nothing was wrong with them, they just seems out of place and inappropriate. Bed was comfortable, the bathroom small, but fine. Breakfast both days was very good. Innkeeper was pleasant, but not friendly - which suited us just fine. Found Penn Yan to be a bit run down and will probably stay in another town on another trip.

I'm really torn on how to write this review because I can't say that anything was really wrong with this inn. But nothing knocked my socks off either.

The inn is very attractive and clean with a pleasant front porch for reading or just enjoying the sound of birds and the smell of the Niagara grapes grown on a nearby trellis. We stayed in the Delaware room which is around back and has its own private entrance. The room itself was clean (although much smaller than the photo online makes it appear), but the bathroom was very small and the television (across the room from the bed) was about 13 inches. We enjoyed the privacy of having our own space, but the floor was very creaky and the bathroom door badly needed some oil - any midnight trips to the bathroom by one of us definitely woke up the other.

The inn is in town although it is up a hill so you don't hear traffic noise at all. And it is right across the street from the Keuka Lake Outlet Trail which offers about 7 miles of hiking - some of which is very scenic. The location also makes it very convenient to visit either Keuka or Seneca Lakes.

Our breakfasts were good and hearty, holding us throughout the morning. But they were foods that I cook at home (pancakes, french toast, etc). We would have liked to be treated just a bit.

The innkeeper was helpful if we asked questions, but otherwise we found her to be somewhat disinterested for an innkeeper. Even our 'orientation' when we arrived was a bit robotic.

Again - nothing was really wrong, but it also wasn't spectacular.

I would recommend this inn but would definitely be sure not to set the expectations too high.

We had a marvellous stay at this B&B, although it was only one night.
the room, the Seyval suite, was very spacious and truly met our needs with the private bathroom and a clean and comfy bed.
Breakfast was romanticly on the porch in the first rays of sun that morning...that makes you holiday really nice...

We had a wonderful experience at Wagener Estate B&B. This is a beautiful well maintained Historic Inn on very spaceious grounds with alot of space to walk around and explore or just to sit and relax outside. Inside common areas are large, comfortable and tastefully furnished. Our guest room was the Aurore room, a very clean comfortable large corner room with a private bath, the Innkeeper was more than happy to show us the other guest rooms that were not occupied when we asked if we could see them, each room was different but equally as nice. Breakfast topped off our stay each morning, a very full and filling breakfast was nicely presented each morning, we like that there was not a set time to come down for breakfast and you could come down when you were ready, coffee, tea, juice was always put out early so you could relax and not feel rushed, and we did feel very relaxed and rested. From the time of check in to check out the Innkeeper was always friendly and available to answer questions, but at the sametime was not hovering, like some Innkeepers. Cathy has just Just the right touch, We felt very relaxed and at home and free to explore this beautiful properity. Lots to do in this area, hiking trails are just across the street. restaurants are within walking distance. and great wineries just a short drive. We will stay again at this glorious property and the beautiful Finger Lakes. Thank you for a wonderful stay we will always remember.
