Beautiful home and property. Very clean, very quiet. The amenities were lovely and allowed for a restful getaway. Easy communication with host. Definitely recommend!
A couple of my cousins and our daughters went to a concert at point of the Bluffs. We found this house and it was perfect! It was beautiful, so clean, and had tons of little extra touches that we loved! We will definitely book again.

You make hosting a pleasure! Thanks for being great guests!
Perfect blend of old farm house meets modern amenities and style. Kitchen is the heart of the house and perfect for cooking a family meal. It's open to the dining room where we sat together and ate while looking out at nature. Best part is the huge deck with the string lights, fire pit, hot tub and hammocks all overlooking the grassy field. I highly recommend staying here.
Home appears recently remodeled with modern amenities, and beds were super comfy, and having three king beds was a nice feature. Host communication was friendly and frequent. Having a stocked refrigerator with some morning essentials was definitely a plus as the location is quite remote. Surrounding forest and private pond made for a very restful stay away from the bustling towns during busy holiday weekend. Three minor topics that prevented me from giving it a five star rating include: 1) There was no Smart TV (or any TV) in the home, although we should have noticed that one was not included in the listing. Smart TVs are a common amenity that no one should even have to think about, especially in a luxury property such as this one, 2) Five split AC units allowed for customizing temperatures in each room however, sharing only one a/c remote control for the entire home was very inconvenient, 3) we did not use the hot tub as it did not appear to be a policy to change out the water between guests, instead there were strict rules on usage, and warnings about a $350 refill fee if needed. Hot tubs should be drained and refilled after each guest stay. Although we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, those three topics would prevent us from renting here again. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay at our property. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the comfortable beds, modern amenities, and the peaceful surroundings of our forest and private pond.
We appreciate your comments about the TV, AC unit remotes, and hot tub. Your feedback is valuable as it helps us improve our guests' experiences.
Regarding the TV, we acknowledge that Smart TVs are indeed a common amenity in luxury properties. We're happy to inform you that we're addressing this issue.Coincidentally, a guest contacted us last night before booking to request a TV for their upcoming stay, and we were happy to honor her request and will be installing one by early August.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by having only one remote for all AC units. We're implementing a new system to ensure there are remotes available for every room with an AC unit.
We appreciate your feedback about the hot tub and would like to clarify our policies. We change the water according to industry standards to ensure hygiene and safety. Our rules are designed to maintain water quality while balancing guest enjoyment, environmental considerations, and affordability.
Refilling the hot tub after each guest stay would significantly increase our operational costs, which would unfortunately result in higher prices for our guests. By implementing our current system, we're able to keep our rates more affordable while still ensuring a clean and safe experience.
We're pleased to report that since implementing these rules, we've only had to charge a guest for refilling once. Most of our guests, like yourself, take excellent care of the tub. The $350 fee mentioned reflects the actual cost charged by local companies for professional cleaning and refilling when necessary.
Our hot tub rules include showering before use, keeping food and drinks away, proper use of the bromine floating apparatus, keeping the cover on when not in use, and not adding anything or adjusting the chemicals. These guidelines help us maintain a clean, safe, and enjoyable hot tub experience for all our guests.
We're always open to feedback and continuously review our policies to ensure they meet hygiene standards, guest expectations, and affordability. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as it helps us improve our communication about these important aspects of our property.
About the host
Hosted by WENDY POOL
Hi, I’m Wendy!
My journey here began in Oregon, where I spent years as a small business owner running a dog school. When climate challenges and wildfire smoke made air quality a daily struggle, I decided to trade those smoky skies for the crisp, clean air and abundant water of the Finger Lakes.
I’ve always felt a deep connection to this area; some of my fondest childhood memories involve visiting grandparents nearby, spending my days exploring the outdoors and marveling at the local wildlife. When I decided to make this my home, I searched diligently for a place that offered true peace—somewhere far from city lights and busy roads. I fell in love with this property because of its seclusion on an abandoned road, the privacy it provides, and its incredible, spring-fed pond.
Restoring this property has been a true labor of love. After it sat abandoned for seven years, I dedicated myself to cleaning up the land and rehabbing the house to reflect my values. I replaced the old coal furnace with a clean, efficient mini-split system and recently added an EV charger. My goal is to make this land a sanctuary for both guests and wildlife. By prioritizing native plantings and protecting the meadow, I’ve created a refuge where you might spot otters, foxes, deer, or even a bobcat.
I’m passionate about healthy living and sharing that restorative energy with my guests. From the air-purifying house plants to the "hummingbird café" I’ve cultivated right outside the dining room windows, every detail is designed to help you disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with nature. I’m thrilled to share this quiet, vibrant space with you.
Why they chose this property
I chose this location for the rare combination of deep peace and natural splendor. My property is tucked away on a quiet, remote road where the only neighbors are hundreds of acres of protected forest, offering a level of seclusion that is increasingly hard to find. The air here is crisp and clean, and the well water is remarkably delicious—a true testament to the health of the Finger Lakes region.
The geography here is unlike anywhere else in the world. Being so close to these deep, ancient lakes and the hidden gems like Grimes Glen in Naples feels like living in a natural wonderland. I am constantly in awe of the landscape, from the stunning waterfalls to the lack of light pollution; on a clear night, the star-filled sky is nothing short of breathtaking.
While the property feels like a world away, it offers the perfect balance. You can enjoy the absolute stillness of the meadow and the wildlife—from the otters in our spring-fed pond to the deer grazing at dawn—yet you are still within easy reach of the region’s renowned wineries and breweries. Whether you’re looking to explore the vibrant local culture in Canandaigua or Rochester, or simply want a peaceful retreat that is still accessible, this area provides the best of both worlds. It’s a place where you can truly breathe, reset, and experience the beauty of the natural world.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets this property apart is the intentionality behind every detail. Located on a quiet, abandoned road, you’ll find a rare level of privacy where the only "traffic" is the occasional local visitor. My goal was to create a sanctuary for healthy living that extends from the inside out.
The home is designed to immerse you in nature. Our expansive wraparound porch offers the best of both worlds: a covered section where you can relax during a summer rainstorm, and an open-air area perfect for soaking up the sun. We’ve deliberately kept the stargazing areas—including the fire pit and the hot tub—open to the sky. Whether you’re watching the stars on a clear night or enjoying the unique sensation of snow falling while you’re in the warmth of the hot tub, the connection to the elements is constant.
I’m also deeply committed to natural, sustainable practices. Instead of artificial hummingbird feeders, I’ve cultivated a "hummingbird café" using canna lilies, providing a natural food source for these beautiful visitors. You’ll also notice a lack of pesky insects here, thanks to our thriving ecosystem. By maintaining the meadow and the pond, we’ve encouraged a large population of dragonflies that act as natural pest control, keeping the area comfortable without the need for harsh chemicals.
From the air-purifying indoor plants to the clean, quiet environment, this property is more than just a place to stay—it is a space designed to help you rejuvenate. It’s a quiet, vibrant refuge where you can experience the land exactly as it was meant to be, surrounded by the sights and sounds of a healthy, flourishing ecosystem.
