This cottage is charming and quiet! Just lovely, bed was very comfortable and we were greeted with fresh flowers and a basket of fresh veggies which was such a welcoming touch! Located on a beautiful horse farm, very quiet and great for relaxing! Well appointed home and kitchen had everything we needed to eat in during a busy weekend competing at a local horseshow.

It is a wonderful, peaceful place to stay. Our dogs are very much at home with large areas to explore. The horses and the visitors are always friendly. The owners are welcoming and gladly provide insights into the area. We have visited there many times and will be back.

The cottage was perfect for our stay for dropping our child off at Suny Geneseo. We stayed 2-nights, my wife and younger child took a riding lesson with Kim, who was great. We explored the property during the day, getting to see all the horses and and very much enjoyed the night sky. We also did a quick trip to Letchworth State Park to view the upper and middle falls. Had lunch on Conesus Lake, only a 10-minute drive. We would definitely stay at the cottage again.

Clean, great location, highly recommend

The brief review: clean, perfect size for 2 adults, 2 teens, and 2 dogs, great central location between many western New York attractions, and quiet!The longer review: This was our 4th VRBO farm stay, and we love the animals. This is a working training facility with students regularly on and off the property. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. However, given that we mostly did sightseeing during the day, we didn't see many students. It was very quiet at night.The cottage was the perfect size for our 2 adults, 2 older teens, and 2 medium-sized dogs. We had 2 crates set up in our room for our dogs to use for relaxing/sleeping and still had plenty of room.The cottage was clean, the beds were comfortable, and in 90 degree heat, the window A/C unit did a great job of keeping the cottage comfortable. We didn't have as much opportunity to interact with the owners this time as with other stays, but Kim was very friendly and helpful with giving us local attraction ideas. We took her up on most of them.The location was also centrally situated for our tour of western New York. We never drove more than 1.75 hours to Niagara Falls, Eternal Flame Falls, Watkins-Glen, Ithaca Falls and Taughannock Falls. We also visited Chimney Bluffs (on Lake Ontario), sought out views of Lake Erie and visited the Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park and the National Warplane Museum. If you are familiar with farm life, we highly recommend the Painted Pony Cottage!

Beautiful horses and peaceful mornings. The cottage was charming and had everything you'd need plus some helpful extras like tea, keurig, outdoor chairs, dog treats, etc...Our dog loved the horses and we fell in love with feeding the baby horses and stallions. Feeding, grooming and riding the horses with Kim and her daughter was a highlight of the trip. We learned some much and felt safe, very enjoyable.Set in the perfect location we easily enjoyed hikes at Letchworth during the day then dinner by the water in the evening.Highly recommend...

We had a great stay here (adults, kids, and dogs). Very cozy, spacious, awesome location, and dog-friendly! Kitchen was well appointed, living room was cute and cozy, and the bedroom was comfortable. Very dog-friendly. Awesome to be so close to the farm and horses.

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!
