Beautiful Views!

We had a wonderful stay! The views from the pond are spectacular. We enjoyed fires every night in the fire pit. Spacious and well maintained old house. The owner was easy to reach and responded within minutes. Would stay again.

Great farmhouse rental

The farmhouse is a cool historic building and comes well stocked with all essential items for a comfortable stay. The description is very accurate. There are great views from the property and hiking the woods was fun. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and will rent this again when we visit the Alfred area!

Perfect for Alfred University out of town Parents

We chose this place cause it was close enough to Alfred University where my daughter attends. It was move out weekend so we needed to be close enough to move her out of her dorm. The host made it super easy to access the property and was very accommodating. Definitely will be on my list to stay at again for the next 3 years.

Beautiful old house in the country

This place had everything we needed plus easy access to many of the places we were interested in visiting - Letchworth state park, Rochester, Wellsville, Alfred, Corning & the Corning museum of glass. The owner of this property is very easy to contact and offered to meet us at the door of this house when we arrived to help us move in and show us around.

Peaceful, quiet setting in the country

Nicely furnished farm house in a quiet, wooded setting. Listen to the breeze through the trees. Lots of deer visiting the property throughout the day. 5 minutes from Alfred University. Perfect location. Expect to sleep in every day!

Perfect

We were looking for a nice place to stay in Alfred that was close to Alfred State college. This was it!! We were able to bring my son back and make him a home cooked meal for dinner. We were only 8 min away so bringing him back and forth was easy. We will be staying here again.

Solid spot for a weekend retreat

This rental is perfect for urbanites looking to get out of the city. It has everything you could need to spend a quiet, relaxed weekend in the outdoors. Plenty of thrift shops in relatively close distance. Obly potential downside is - do not expect to use delivery services for food. If you want to eat good here, youll most likely be cooking.

Nice home, with a bit of sewage smell from the bathroom water. Clean, spacious, well-kept. Ground is uneven so take care with individuals who need assistance walking.

Great Stay!

My husband and I needed a place to stay while visiting our daughter and her family in the surrounding area. The property was perfect for our needs. While it is one floor living, the property is layed out wonderfully, and is quite spacious! Everything was as described as advertised. The property was extremely clean and inviting. We had our granddaughter over for 2 nights and she was extremely comfortable in the 2nd bedroom. We will definitely consider this property for future visits. And as a note….. MANY properties in the area would not rent over the New Years Holiday, so a special Thank You to Keir for taking a chance on us.

The floors in the house or not very level.

The water coming out of the faucets, had a sulfur smell, and when you babe, then it was very oily the bathtub and shower for a little bit difficult to stand on because of the slick surface.

Mold

There was an overwhelming smell of mold as soon as we entered. Two, in my group of four, are allergic to mold and our throats started to close up within minutes of entering the home. The owners are clearly aware of it because there are damp mold packs everywhere. The two of us ended up having to find another place to stay for the two nights and we ended up paying for our part of the vrbo because it wasn’t fair to the others. We, obviously, will not stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by KIER DIRLAM

Host profile image
The owner has been with this house since 1974 and the family has great memories of fun from years ago. Hoping you can enjoy it also.

Why they chose this property

This is a place to drop out of modern city living into a time from decades ago. Few nearby nearby neighbors and easy to sit back and enjoy the country setting.

What makes this property unique

Not the city. Not near a city. Yet within an hour of things you want to do like artisans, ceramic and glass museums, see your kids at the colleges, visit the #1 State Park in the country at Letchworth State Park. Go Hunting in the nearby State Forests and fishing in the Genesee River and Canisteo River.
