A historic bed and breakfast in Penn Yan has earned national recognition after being accepted into an exclusive group of top inns across the country.
The Finger Lakes Bed & Breakfast at Hutton Farm has been selected to join Select Registry, a collection that includes fewer than 300 independently owned inns, bed-and-breakfasts, and boutique hotels throughout North America.
According to reports, membership in Select Registry is based on rigorous quality standards, including inspections that evaluate guest experience, hospitality, and overall property excellence. The designation places the Penn Yan inn among a limited number of properties recognized for high-end accommodations and service.
The bed and breakfast, located in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, operates out of a historic 1840s home and serves as a destination for visitors exploring nearby wineries, lakes, and outdoor attractions. The region itself is widely known for tourism, with numerous wineries and recreational opportunities drawing visitors year-round.
Officials say the recognition highlights both the quality of the inn and the growing appeal of the Finger Lakes as a travel destination. The addition of the Penn Yan property to Select Registry underscores the region’s continued prominence in hospitality and tourism.
