Merritt Hill Manor

We decided to visit the Finger Lakes region of NY for a 3 day weekend in October, and we were so fortunate to find Merritt Hill Manor. It was absolutely wonderful. Our room (the Leon Taylor) room was gorgeous. It is a spacious, elegant corner room, with a king size four poster bed, and windows all the way around, with views of Keuka and Seneca Lakes.
