Loved it!!
Loved it! It is a 1940s farmhouse, beautifully situated in the wine country, beautifully updated and nicely appointed. Nice grounds, feeling of being "away from it all". We will stay here again!!

Great Home
The farm house was great, just like the pictures! Fred was responsive and friendly and got us a tour of the farm. The house was clean and very comfortable for 4 adults, 2 kids and a dog! Location is close to town and lots of wineries/breweries/restaurants. We will definitely plan to come back!

Pleasant stay
This is a great place to stay. It is adjacent to many wineries and close to walkins glen which has many restaurants and a wonderful state park to hike. The kitchen is well stalked, bath towels plentiful, and they even had soap and shampoo provided. The beds are also nice with each of the room having there own window air conditioner/fan. The one bathroom is a challenge, but we knew that going in! A real charming property with no complaints. The house adjacent to the rental is occupied, but we never saw them.

Fabulous home in beautiful location
Very comfortable well-equipped property. This lovely home had everything for an 8 day stay with a great kitchen full of mugs, glasses, plates, pots, pans, cutlery - everything you would need. A walk down through the vineyard to the 6 chairs provided excellent sunset views (with a bonus of a spectacular view of the Aurora Borealis). Within walking distance to a few wineries and just 12 minutes drive from Watkins Glen. Lots of towels and bathroom amenities provided with a washing machine and dryer located adjacent on the upstairs landing. As there were just 2 of us, we only used the main queen bed which was very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Terrific Farm Retreat
This cozy house is a comfortable stay for a small family or group - highly recommended. The pet-friendly house offers a well-stocked kitchen including modern appliances, a full-size refrigerator, electric range and a propane grill, and the hosts thoughtfully provided a complimentary bottle of local wine. We cooked several meals during our stay and appreciated that the hosts stocked a selection of spices and some cooking basics in the pantry. A 2 minute walk from the front door is a farm stand featuring local produce and meats; accessible 24/7 with credit-card payment machines. Bedrooms are compact but comfortable; window AC units kept them a great temperature on warm days and cool evenings. The house's only bathroom is on the upstairs floor (staircase is a little steep), which may be an issue for people with mobility challenges or if you have a max capacity group. The living and dining room are spacious and pleasant. The house is right on Rt. 414, a major thoroughfare, which features consistent and rapid traffic most days/nights, including trucks. The noise didn't bother us at night, but if you have small kids or dogs along, you'll want to keep an eye on them as there's no barrier between the yard and the road. Location-wise, this property is *perfectly* situated for the amenities of Seneca Lake, and for regional excursions. You're a short drive from restaurants and groceries in Watkins Glen, and you're surrounded by wineries, breweries, and distilleries, many of which have integrated restaurants or food-service on site. (You could technically walk to some, but the traffic on 414 is a bit daunting for that.) For hiking, several state parks and Finger Lakes National Forest are very close. If you need a day in the city, Ithaca is about 30-35 mins away. For lake views, you can walk 3 minutes from the house to a shore overlook with chairs to enjoy the sunset. As the house is situated on a working vineyard, you will hear some automated fake bird noise throughout the day intended to deter wildlife from eating the grapes, but otherwise the setting is very quiet and peaceful even though there's an occupied house right next to it; sleeping in was easy, and the property rewards both busy and lazy vacation days. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the area!

Wonderful Girls trip
My two best friends and I decided the Fingerlakes would be a wonderful place for girls trip. This home was an amazing escape. The place was very clean, there were many amenities in the kitchen and bathroom. We were able to do laundry and make food easily. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets. The living room was perfect for relaxing and planning our days. Would gladly come back and hope to next year!

Wonderful little house!
Stayed here for a week with my family and I would highly recommend this as a retreat. House was exceptionally clean, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Host also left a local bottle of wine, which was very thoughtful! Host owns a farm stand within a minute's walk from the house and we had fresh peaches every day. Loved it. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating other than a 5 star rating is because 1. It advertises that vineyards are within walking distance of the house. This isn't quite correct. It would be a long walk on a main rural road. Not hugely safe to walk, I'd say. 2. It's not clear from the pictures that there's a house next door. While the neighbors were lovely, we weren't expecting to be so close to another house. Also, note, it's a small house; rather cozy! If you know what to expect, though, this is a wonderful place to stay. Very quiet. Beautiful scenery and views of the vineyards. Close to great places to eat and try different wines. Can also use as a base to local state parks...which are amazing! Would definitely recommend.
