    We absolutely love the ambience of this house. We were in Penn Yan for a wedding. The location of this house was absolutely perfect. Should we ever visit in the area again? We will definitely return to the Sampson house

    The Sampson House has a lot of character. It had everything we needed. It was the perfect place to come back to after a long day of hiking!

    Beautiful home with period details (lighting, woodwork). Great location 10-15 minute walk to town. Quiet neighborhood. Great kitchen with everything you would need. Updated appliances. Home was immaculately clean. A/C in most rooms (we didn't have to use). A couple of ceiling fans, which made for comfortable sleeping. Very Happy with rental!!!! Would highly recommend. Many great restaurants and Wineries within a quick drive.

    The Sampson house was lovely, well maintained, and accommodating. Located in a quiet neighborhood less than a mile from down town Penn Yan, it was a great base for exploring the area, going on nearby hikes, visiting various wineries and more.

    My family enjoyed our stay at Sampson house. The historic character of the home was so charming and the furniture was very comfortable. We had so many places to lounge between the large living room, the three-season porch, and the back yard. The bedrooms were all good sized with comfortable beds. Linger Hospitality was very communicative and provided a detailed guide to the house as well as thoughtful recommendations for what to see, do, and eat in the area. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

    Quiet walks to coffee & breakfast on Main Street, breezy bike rides along the water or on the trail, short drives to big boating fun on Lake Keuka and picking up pizza from Cam’s pizzeria—all just perfect for family time relaxing, visiting, playing games, and enjoying the cooler weather and gorgeous scenery in PennYan!

    Was not properly cleaned. Upon arrival we encountered toothpaste splattered bathroom mirror, filthy rug in front of shower, dirty stove top, melted frosting on microwave rotating tray, globs of frosting on kitchen and hallway floors and staircase banister, wooden stick from ice cream bar on arm of living room chair. Immediate report to host was ignored/shrugged off, only slightly more responsive than our request for earlier check-in which was nonexistent. Linger Hospitality was also less than helpful about the absent remote for the gas fireplace. The bungalow is very nice, pleasantly restored with interesting and sometimes original art work. Aside from the coldly distant management, the real issue seems to be a lackadaisical cleaning crew, for whose efforts we had to wait until after 4pm to check in and then check out no later than 10am. What could have been a 5 star stay was deeply diminished by distant, unconcerned management.
