About Yale Manor B&B and Yurts

Yale Manor B&B and Yurts is a tranquil retreat ideally located between the two best wine tours in the center of the Finger Lakes Region. The statuesque 3-story stone Manor House is situated on ten quiet, expansive and secluded acres with lakefront access on the east side of Seneca Lake. The front porch is flanked by two enormous 100 year old copper beeches planted by the original steward Alice E. Crawford (aka Anan to her family). Our calendar runs from approximately mid-April through the weekend prior to Thanksgiving and dates are available one year in advance for booking. We do not allow children under 18 years of age or dogs.

In the park-like acreage behind the Manor are four 30-foot diameter Yurts for glamor camping. These round tent structures are an unusual experience for travelers who like a bit of adventure in full comfort.

Whether lounging in your Yurt after a long day of wine tasting, enjoying birdwatching on the property, laying in a hammock, or sitting by an evening fireside listening to the waves lapping on the shore, our intention is that you leave rejuvenated in body, mind, and spirit.
