Our contemporary solar powered home has five large comfortable rooms, including two log cabins. All have queen sized beds, private baths, and air-conditioning. We feature beautiful country views, yet are just minutes from Seneca and Keuka Lakes. Enjoy one of our award-winning breakfasts, then relax and watch the goldfinches and hummingbirds as they flit through our flower gardens. Fill your days with all that the Finger Lakes have to offer, then relax on our spacious deck and gazebo. In the evening, we can recommend a restaurant that suits your mood. On clear nights we can give star tours with a large telescope on our back lawn.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
We were looking for a quiet place to vacation away from the crowds during the pandemic and Los Gatos exceeded every expectation. Our cabin was roomy, private, and very comfortable. The main house has a big deck and beautiful backyard where you can read a book with your morning tea. The entire property is well cared for and meticulously landscaped.
Just outside of Penn Yan, the location made it easy to hike, kayak and visit all the wineries around lakes Seneca and Keuga. Our hosts, Rebecka and Charlie were very helpful to us with suggestions for our daily adventures and their breakfast service was out of this world! Everything was home made from scratch... potato cakes, frittata, french toast, jams... even the English muffins!
We highly recommend it and plan to stay here again.

We enjoyed just one night in the Sage room as we were only in the area for a special one day event. The B & B is exceptionally clean and the room we occupied was well appointed with a comfortable bed and chairs, cable tv, iron & board and an ensuite bathroom with plushy towels and toiletries in the event we forgot something. We enjoyed walking through the gardens and sitting on the large deck off the back of the home and the breakfast was delicious! The B & B hosts, Charlie and Rebecca, go above and beyond to welcome you and make you feel at home. Really couldn't have been a nicer stay & highly recommend!

About 5-10 min drive from the Keuka Lake wineries (northeast side - rooster hill and keuka spring).
Breakfast will rival that of any eatery (hats off to Rebecca)
Backyard and patio (with a fire pit) are stunning. Views of hills and greenery take you away into a state of zen
Overall quiet area
Rooms and facility very clean
Hosts are very accommodating

After many months of quarantine, my wife and I decided to get away for a couple of days over the Fourth of July weekend. We selected Los Gatos ad we are so happy we did. Charles and Rebecca are fabulous hosts, warm and welcoming. We stayed at one of the charming log cabins, Casa Verde. It was perfect. Charming, comfortable and immaculate. Our own little place! The grounds are inviting, beautifully landscaped, and the scenery is gorgeous - just a great place to unwind and relax. The breakfasts were totally delicious, with homemade and fresh ingredients. You will love it. This may be the best B&B we have stayed at and we've stayed at quite a few. I would highly recommend Los Gatos. Charles and Rebecca will ensure you have a wonderful stay. We will return!!

Charles and Rebecca were very attentive, informative, and conversational. My family and I stayed in the main house, I stayed in the blue room specifically. The temperature was ideal, the bed was comfortable, everything was fully stocked, and the space felt very relaxing. Coffee starts at 8am while and breakfast is at 9am. Rebecca is a fabulous cook and both serve with a smile. Be prepared to buy their jam, it is delicious and we couldn’t leave without a jar. Finally, Los Gatos is located in a central location, and Charles and Rebecca could list just about every stop work making in the whole region. Thank you both for a wonderful stay, we will be back.

If you're heading to the Keuka Lake area of the Finger Lakes, you can't do better than to spend your lodging dollars at Los Gatos.
The back deck Adorandick chairs overlook sweeping lawns, gardens, grapes vines, rolling hills and valleys.
The hosts, Charles and Becca, are ideal owners. They are knowledgable about the area, restaurants, historic sites and museums. Becca's breakfasts use many local and fresh ingredients that showcase the regions offerings. Sit down at 9:00 and you may still be sipping coffee at noon! Our recent stay was full of delightful interactions with both hosts and other guests.
We stayed in the Sage room and were beyond satisfied with its cleanliness, relaxing decor, and quiet evening atmosphere.
Los Gatos is a truly special place, cared for by truly special people.
There are five Finger Lakes and five different rooms at Los Gatos. I'm looking forward to visiting and exploring four more times!

If your reading this, you are likely trying to make a determination on if Los Gatos is worth it. Is it worth the cost? Is the location good? Can I enjoy this? Yes, all yes. At the heart of this recommendation is a lovely married couple with a shared heart of gold and a vision for the future. A bed and breakfast is an experience, and it can cost about half a mortgage payment, so its an investment. The expectations are high. Los Gatos exceeds them. We chose the cabin, which was clean, perfect size, and secluded enough that I felt the privacy. Our days were spent hitting up wineries across the area, the farthest being about 20-30 minutes away. This was not at a problem, and the location is great on a map. As much as I love wineries and the area though, I very much looked forward to mornings with Charles and Rebecca. Every breakfast was incredible, and it came with great conversations. The main house was great to visit. These people are incredibly proud of what they built, and they should be. Some mornings, Charles will share an incredible four grapes juice and give you some details on how it was made. It's incredible and there are incredible jams, incredible dishes, and just great conversations with these folks. Not sure how to spend your day? They've got some great ideas. Want to find out if a location is worth visiting, they never steered us wrong. The worst part of this experience was the day we left, and how I still miss these folks today. They have a vision for the future of Los Gatos, and they are constantly improving the experience which is motivation enough to return. The only word of warning I would share is despite the sign, its sometimes easy to miss the entrance but its no big deal, turning around is easy. Additionally, the parking lot is tight but not-problematic but due yourself a favor and give these guys a heads up if your bringing your RV or your boat, they have a plan around that. 11/10 stars, its worth your money and its worth your time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! I cannot tell you when we have read a more heartfelt review. I have it open on my computer just so we can read it again ensuring ourselves that taking the extra steps to ensure our guests of a relaxing stay are more than worth it.

We stayed on the upper floor of this BnB, the Grand Suite. What a delight..great view of the large garden and vistas beyond the property. Be sure to tour this garden. We were very comfortable with the two large rooms complete with refrigerator. There were several lovely, unique antique furniture pieces on this level. Breakfast was quite substantial. An egg bake with veggies, some right from the garden. Fresh grape juice pressed from grapes on property. Biscuits melted in your mouth. Coffee was very good! Highly recommend.

We wanted a nice bed & breakfast for our wedding anniversary, & Los Gatos fit the bill perfectly. We arrived on Friday afternoon & noticed how beautiful the grounds, main building & cabins are, it was obvious everything was well tended & cared for. We were greeted by Charles, who led us to our room & showed us around. He is very knowledgeable about the area & local businesses, we followed his recommendations & couldn't have been happier.
We stayed in the Grand Suite, which occupies the upper floor of the main house. It has a large bedroom, large sitting area & its own balcony with a beautiful view of the property, which Charles lovingly maintains. The suite was beautifully decorated & very comfortable, with many comforts like a television & refrigerator. There is plenty of closet space, a good sized dresser & a wall of windows with a bench across the front t of them. The curtains & cushions on the bench were sewn by Charles' wife Rebecca, who is very talented.
Rebecca is a fantastic cook, her breakfasts were amazing & there was more than enough food for everyone. Both Charles & Rebecca are extremely nice people who obviously care about the comfort of their guests, as well as getting to know them. We felt more like we were staying for the weekend with friends than we were staying at an establishment run as a business. While conversing comfortably with their guests, both Charles & Rebecca were ensuring that everyone had whatever they needed or wanted without the feeling that they were "working", they were being kind & courteous.
We plan to return soon, & bring some family members along because we think they will love it there as much as we do. We look forward to returning & spending more time with Charles & Rebecca!

Thank you so much! We could not have said it better ourselves! Our mornings were so much brighter with Brian's wonderful shirts and our conversations, the weekend was just as enjoyable for us.

We recently stayed in one of their 2 cabins on the property. This was the 2nd time for us in the same cabin as we previously stayed in 10 years ago. Love, love this B & B and Rebecca and Charles as they are great hosts and very entertaining! It was my birthday and they made it extra special with warm brownies and balloons. The property is spotless, very inviting with beautiful flowers and landscape and breakfast was delicious! Fresh fruit, homemade grape juice and english muffins and quiche to name a few. We will definitely be back! Cabins are great , especially if anyone prefers staying separate due to Covid

I got my package through Groupon. I would call Los Gatos and ask.
No, we do not allow dogs of any size at the B & B. We do have a vacation rental home that is 12 miles from here overlooking Keuka Lake that is pet and family friendly - we are not allowed to post a direct link here but if you do a search for it by name (Keuka View Cottage) you should find it easily. Thank you-
Hi Karen - All of our rooms have one queen sized bed. Our Grand Suite has the ability to add a twin bed in the sitting room area making it perfect for two guests traveling together but not wanting to share a bed.
Yes, we have wifi throughout the house as well as in the cabins! It is even able to be picked up out on our large deck and in the gazebo.
