This property and home is well stocked with essentials. Very comfortably furnished. And, the quietest accommodation you're likely to ever find. Short drive to the many excellent wineries and restaurants. Couldn't have been more pleased.

Idyllic location
Beautiful spot halfway between Seneca Falls and Watkins Glen. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this place.The owner was super accommodating and answered all my (sometimes silly) questions. After a long, hot day of walking around wine country, sitting on the porch for a sunset and bird-watching was lovely. The only suggestion I have would be, bring your own chair or chair cushions. Terrific stay!

Excellent countryside rental
We had a great stay, eventhough the weather wasn’t super conducive to our plans for the weekend. The house was perfect size for 2-4 guests. Very clean, rental process and communication was a breeze, house is located in a very quiet location surrounded by fields. Locations is convenient with a 20 min or so drive to Seneca and Cayuga Lake. I would definitely rent again!

Beautiful farm house in the heart of Seneca County
A wonderful and cozy little house, all on one level, with two bedrooms and a fully stocked kitchen. The beds are very comfortable, featuring firm foam mattresses. The kitchen had all the necessary amenities, including a gas stove, microwave, Keurig machine, and plenty of cutlery, dishes, pots, and pans.
Now, some advice for fellow city dwellers like myself who might be new to staying in a farmhouse with well water: I recommend bringing your own water for the coffee machine and for drinking. The well water had a distinct fishy odor. The Keurig needed a couple of full rinses, using about a half gallon of water, to clear out the fishy smell. While I’m sure the water was safe to drink, it wasn’t to my liking.
Additionally, during this time of year, the Asiatic ladybugs were eager to get inside. They found a small crack in the window to enter the back guest bedroom. Of all the potential bugs you might encounter in a home, these are harmless but can be annoying. Thankfully, there was a vacuum on hand to deal with them.
All in all, it’s a super lovely farmhouse, and I highly recommend it. My comments are just suggestions for those used to city water and fewer critters to ensure they have the best experience possible.

The property was awesome for our two couple group. We love the fingerlakes and spend a lot of time here. So much nicer( and cheaper) than staying at a hotel. The house was cute and cozy. Nice porches for hanging out. We were tasting Saturday and Sunday, it’s a perfect location. We will be back. The home owner was very easy and available to communicate with.

This property was great. It was very well stocked with everything we could need, including a Keurig, K-cups and creamers. Appreciated an ample supply of paper products, so no need to go buy more. Loved all the nice touches- cute signs and pictures and really comfy furniture. The property was nice and very quiet for sleeping. If we go back up to the area and would recommend it to friends.
