A Charming VRBO Getaway Amidst Nature's Beauty

My partner Alessandro and I recently stayed at this unique VRBO, nestled on 250 acres of stunning land with over 90 horses. The property, which was once the farm's office, has been converted into a cozy retreat.While my partner, a hotel enthusiast, affectionately referred to it as a "granny flat," I adored the quaint charm and character of the place. The horses were an added bonus – I loved watching them roam freely, while my partner preferred to observe from a distance, peeking out the side door.The house has all the necessary amenities, making our stay comfortable and convenient. For me, the property held a special sentimental value, reminiscent of my family's old farm homestead. The owner's warm hospitality and 'no fuss' approach made our stay truly relaxing. We'll recommend this special place to friends and family.We enjoyed our stay, and I'd recommend this VRBO to anyone seeking a peaceful, rural getaway amidst nature's beauty.

Great time in Western NY

We had a wonderful stay at Leg Up Stables. Everything was just how it was described. The cottage was clean and had all the items we needed. Entering and contact with the owner was smooth and easy. It was the perfect location for us to visit Letchworth State Park and an hour-and-a-half trip to Watkins Glen. Thank you!

Beautiful location, private cozy cottage

Cozy cottage within a large horse farm. Surrounding area of gently rolling hills and pristine farms. Directions and contactless access were flawless. Cottage as depicted. Bedroom was very clean. Wonderfully easy access for senior dog, and we greatly enjoyed the wide expanse of yard and places to walk. So enjoyable to view all the horses on the property! Host was responsive and provided a detailed guide and some fresh vegetables to enjoy. I imagine this cottage would especially be a dream place to stay for someone with a horse in tow! We just would have appreciated window coverings - blinds or shades - to block views from the outside at night. There were people coming and going at night, accessing barns. All-in-all, a delightful stay!

PERFECT!

Myself along with 2 friends chose this place because it was dog friendly with plans of hiking at Letchworth State Park. The cottage was absolutely perfect and everything it said it would be. It was clean and had everthing we needed for an amazing trip. The fact that it is on a horse farm made it even better. There was so much land for walking the dogs and they loved the horses as well. It was great waking up and looking at horses out of your bedroom window and seeing these majestic beings We took advantage of the opportunity to take a lesson and ride. What an experience! I cant say enough good things about this place. Thank you Alexandria and Kim for making this a truly blessed trip.

Perfect weekend getaway

We traveled up from SC for my daughter's college graduation. This was a perfect little piece of heaven. We didn't want to stay in the hustle and bustle of Rochester but didn't want to be too far away. The travel to RIT was straight up the highway. Access to the highway, grocery, town, and things to do was perfect for us. We were blessed to have arrived only a week after one of the horses had her sweet sweet baby. The kids loved exploring the farm. Management was amazing! They took time out of their busy schedule to give us on a tour of the farm. Even in the rain! We got to pet horses and interact with the foal. We didn't feel like we bothered anyone coming and going as we did. We were even blessed to witness the Northern Lights over the farm. We hope to stay again when we can stay longer.

Quiet and Quaint

The Painted Pony Cottage was conveniently located near Letchworth State Park and a short drive to Canandaigua Lake and Conesus Lake so it was easy to explore the area. Leg Up Stables is a beautiful property, and we enjoyed our time there. Loved all the horses!

How refreshing

The cottage at the farm was quiet, safe, and had the things one would need for a trip (shower, coffee maker, full kitchen, a/c, TV, wifi). There is plenty of space to walk around and visit with the horses. The owner was on site and was helpful with questions. Super bonus=dog friendly! :) I hope to return because it provided privacy, safety and I could bring my pup. Very peaceful.
