Sweet grass vacation

The cottage was perfect for our trip to enjoy the finger lakes region because it was centrally located. Roxanne is a terrific host, easily accessible to answer questions about the area. We enjoyed the fire pit and many nights star gazing. We would highly recommend the cottage and hope to travel to New York again and stay at Sweetgrass! Kim and Tom

Great Getaway

Sweetgrass Cottage was a great escape for us. Clean and comfortable it was in the perfect location for us to explore both Cayuga and Seneca Lake wine trails. Close to some very nice hikes we enjoyed our country getaway in the Finger Lakes.

Why they chose this property

Sweetgrass Cottage offers a beautiful and convenient location, a cozy, spotlessly maintained, tastefully and creatively decorated comfortable stay on the famous Cayuga Wine Trail of the Finger Lakes. Take a scenic 5-8 minute walk to Cayuga Lake and the renowned Sheldrake Point Winery, or visit Myers Distillery only a 5 minute drive North on Rte 89. Choose a car or bike ride through our back roads and you are in Amish Country. Located on a lightly traveled road off designated scenic Highway Rte 89, you'll find ours a central location for visiting the many other local sites: all the wine, beer, distillery, cheese and art trails; historical venues; and the gorges, hiking trails and waterfalls of Ithaca and Watkins Glen. We are also convenient to Cornell University, Ithaca College, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Museum, and Corning Glass. Enjoy the excitement, beauty and restfulness of the Finger Lakes in equal measure from our fully furnished private cottage.
