Gone with the Wind B&B

Finger Lakes


This B&B adjacent to the lake, 10 miles north of Hammondsport, isn't exactly Tara, but it is pleasant and has a sweeping deck with great views. There are two accommodation choices – the original stone mansion and a log lodge annex – though both have generally homey furnishings.

Keep your eyes peeled for a sign, as the entrance to its steep drive off the main road is easy to miss.
