About this property

Country setting nestled in the Finger Lakes.

Quaint, Rustic and Charming describe our little piece of heaven we call the Bungalow. The Bungalow while built in the 1700 's is updated and set on 3.5 acres in the country. You will have the feeling of being off the grid.
Close to all the Finger Lakes has to offers; 20 minute drive to 3 different lakes, 25 minutes to downhill and cross country skiing, hiking trails, vineyards and Craft breweries. Within walking distance is the largest Alpaca Farm in the northeast with farm tours daily. Just across the street to Scottish Highlander's the Gentile Giant bovine.

Cute little place

Location was amazing, and a free tour of the alpaca farm was awesome! The rental was not as clean as I've seen other places. But all in all a cute little weekend getaway!

Cozy country bungalow

Quaint bungalow in a beautiful country setting. We stayed 2 nights and were gone most of the day for graduation celebrations at RIT. We didnt use any of the kitchen appliances other than refrigerator but had everything you would need. I would recommend for a small group as the 2 full beds were in the same room upstairs. We did not use the futon. Beds were very comfortable. Lovely deck for relaxing. Make sure you visit the alpaca farm , it was delightful!

Great stopover in the Finger Lakes

The house is great, bed comfy and love that it is across street from a fun Alpaca farm that we toured (and purchased a few early Christmas presents!). The owners left a light and the AC on so comfortable from the start! Also this is a good spot to use when touring around Canandaigua and Honeoye Falls. And sitting on deck saw a couple deer in the backyard’

Wonderful Relaxing Location

Thoroughly enjoyed the cottage. Mark, the owner, was very pleasant and the Alpaca farm was beautiful. Perfect place for us to stay and visit our niece. Super quiet with lots of birds in the back wooded area. Accommodating pets was really appreciated and our dog loved it as well. I highly recommend it and will stay there again one day.

Exactly what we needed!

The bungalow was exactly what we needed...something secluded within the areas we wanted to explore. Niagra Falls and Watkins Glenn state park are a must. Mark was great, super nice! He gave us a tour of his alpaca farm, Lazy Acres was beautiful.

Musty.

My husband stayed here for a week. The location was very nice and the little house was charming but.... The house was so dirty and musty smelling it almost made me sick. The refrigerator was filthy and when you opened up any cabinet or the oven, you could feel the grime. Thankfully we were gone almost everyday and did not have to spend much time here except to sleep.

Through no fault of Mark's, our stay was the ultimate doomed vacaction! My husband threw his back out within the first few days, then he got covid. We unfortunately had to cut our stay short once we got the positive covid test. I never even got to meet the alpacas!! nnever even got to

The Bungalow

We stayed a couple nights at the Bungalow, and enjoyed a nice quiet time. The two hundred year-old place has a lot of charm and quaintness and being in the Finger Lakes region is a real plus—there is so much to see and do. Mark, the host, was quite congenial. He showed us around his Alpaca farm which was interesting and informative. Mark also pointed out the top attractions in the region and even marked a map for us to help with navigation.

Lovely Getaway

Our family of 5 plus a pup really enjoyed our stay at the Bungalow. It had plenty of amenities, we were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen stocked with dishes, appliances, cookware, and more! Our littles enjoyed their comfortable beds while mom and dad were comfortable on the pull out sofa bed. The Bungalow was quaint, charming, and a wonderful place for our family to stay for a few days while we house hunted. Mark and Sharon were great at communicating and accommodating our family on short notice. Our children are still raving about the cozy Bungalow. We will definitely keep it in mind the next time we need a weekend away!

Perfect peaceful location

Lovely location, quiet, and so peaceful. The deck and backyard with fire pit made it quite enjoyable. Had fun listening to the different birds, especially the great horned owl. Getting to the backyard is a steep climb so I appreciated the railing, however I having a small gap in the netted fencing would have been nice to be able to get to the deck stairs and backyard without having to go through the house. We had plans during the day so we weren’t able to take advantage of visiting the alpaca farm. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

Wonderful bungalow in the woods

We had a wonderful long weekend at the property. It is quaint, yet modernized. It is very comfortable and incredibly peaceful. The back deck is worthy of a hammock! As former residents of Monroe County we attended a family reunion. The bungalow was about 20 minutes from family in Canandaigua and 30 minutes from family in Rochester. Honestly, the drive is so beautiful that we did not find it an encumbrance. We were 2 adults with a 5 yo and 3 yo and two small dogs - who loved all the smells of nature. Thanks for a great weekend. We’ll definitely look at your place again.

Our experience

First and foremost, the place was cozy and quaint. We loved the privacy and comfort of having all the amenities that came with. However, the small kitchen appliances were not clean; especially the microwave and then to learn it didn't work after all. the shower had a mat in it that was moldy underneath and caused one of the girls to slip (not hurt). We ended up vacuuming, to include the window cells that were full of cobwebs and dead bugs/spiders. Then we blew off the deck which was covered with leaves and debris; thank you for leaving a blower so that we could do so. Also, it would be nice to have window covers on the lower level, closing shades or curtains.

Cozy cottage set among tall trees

A lovely little house on a large piece of wooded property. My husband and I and our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We road bikes along the Erie Canal from Pittsford to Fairport, had several dinners in Pittsford overlooking the canal, and drove to Seneca Falls to see the Women’s Rights National Historical Park. At the house, we enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and drinks on the deck at night, while the dogs ran around the fenced in portion of the yard. The house had everything we needed, including a large sleeping loft with two queen-sized beds, plus lots of room for our dogs’ crates, and a washer & dryer. Downstairs, there’s a living room with cozy and comfortable furniture, a breakfast bar that seats five, and a functional kitchen - no dishwasher, but we didn’t use that many dishes during our stay.

WELCOME
Your host Mark and Sharon reside just a stone throw from "The Baker Road Bungalow".

Why they chose this property

WELCOME
This property was purchased in the year 2000 and was part of 230 acre farm now known as Lazy Acre Alpacas. This house was built in the 1700's and has been part of our family housing our children during their college years and later my son living during his first years of marriage.. We rented it out for a few years later. After a devastating fire at our home at the farm. Sharon and I lived in the Bungalow for 13 months while our new home was being constructed .The we decided to update the interior replacing the stairs to the upstairs sleeping area . We raised the roof so that we had head room to be able to walk around.upstairs .The renovations turned out so nice we decided to share it with our VRBO guest.

What makes this property unique

Besides the bungalow and the property being such a unique piece of heaven .LOCATION ,LOCATION, LOCATION is what it's all about. you name it hiking , biking , skiing (winter and summer) , craft beer , wine tasting , shopping , museums , water falls , grand canyon of the east , festivals , concerts , gardens , and lots of great food .
