About this property

Hobbit Hollow House, a Turn of the Century Colonial Revival Farmhouse

Hobbit Hollow House is a turn of the nineteenth century Colonial Revival farmhouse located in beautiful Skaneateles, NY, the Gateway to the Finger Lakes. Our property offers spectacular views of our own White Birch Vineyards and Skaneateles Lake, known worldwide for its unspoiled beauty. In addition to vineyard and lake views, our guest rooms overlook colorful meadows, rolling hills and Hobbit Hollow Farm's beautiful barn and horse stables.

Hobbit Hollow House features six elegant and comfortable guest rooms, each uniquely appointed with well-crafted furniture and amenities that will make your stay more enjoyable, such as gas fireplaces, private porches and whirlpool tubs. Luxurious beds and linens will ensure a wonderful night's sleep for every guest.

Hobbit Hollow House boasts a fully equipped kitchen and elegant dining room allowing any aspiring chefs in your group to prepare exquisite meals from Finger Lakes sourced ingredients. If cooking isn’t exactly your thing, we can help make arrangements with one of the talented local chefs to prepare unique and delicious meals for your guests in the home. Or if going out on the town is more your speed, the Village of Skaneateles, only a few minutes’ drive from your front door, boasts a selection of many of the Upstate New York’s most acclaimed restaurants .

No matter the season, Hobbit Hollow House beckons you to explore its beauty. Choose from countless fun and exciting activities our area has to offer. Spend a leisurely day touring nearby wineries as well as many other local distilleries and breweries. Enjoy boat tours and dinner cruises on Skaneateles Lake, and visits to local farm stands and markets. Avid or recreational hikers will find a wide range of hiking trail systems only a short drive away, including local state forest trails, Ithaca’s amazing gorges and Letchworth State Park – the Grand Canyon of the East. Or perhaps you want to experience the spectacular annual fall foliage or downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing when the beautiful Central New York landscape is laden with snow.

For days when you prefer to stay at your cozy home away from home, our spacious living areas provide ample space to hang out and enjoy a quiet day of games and reading and our large estate offers opportunities to enjoy walks, have picnics, and otherwise enjoy nature with your family and friends. After exploring everything the Finger Lakes has to offer during the day, spend your evenings with a glass of White Birch Vineyards wine, relaxing on the comfortably appointed porches overlooking Skaneateles Lake as the sun goes down and the crickets and fireflies come out.

Having a memorable event? Hobbit Hollow House is the perfect location for a wedding, rehearsal dinner, vow renewal, birthday celebration, baby shower, cocktail party or corporate gathering. Our beautiful lawns and rolling meadow backdrops make for a gorgeous venue for your perfect outdoor event.

Family Fun

A great gathering of family and friends to celebrate the 4th of July, a new marriage and two birthdays. The house was perfect, spacious and very comfortable. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and kitchen worked perfectly for our mostly outside party. Location is very convenient, and the lake view a nice bonus, highly recommend.

Our stay at Hobbit Hollow was absolutely perfect! The property is even more stunning in person than the photos suggest—and even more beautiful than I remembered from my initial tour. We truly loved every aspect of our experience. The interior is stunning, and so are the grounds. The horses were out pretty much our entire stay for us to watch and enjoy. Daniel, the property manager, went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. He provided clear details about the property, assisted our wedding vendors with setup, and was incredibly responsive before, during, and after our stay. His attentiveness made the entire process stress-free.I cannot recommend this property enough for a stay or special event. Thank you to Daniel and the entire Hobbit Hollow team for helping us create such an unforgettable wedding and stay!

Bedrooms and bathrooms spotless. Kitchen, well equipped; outdoor lawns and landscape were gorgeous; three tables in the backyard seated many and held lots of food platters. Three of our children had a riding lesson with Marissa, they were thrilled! The super huge dining room table was a perfect gathering place with everyone finding a spot. Love the up and down, screened in porches, too! We had gathered for our 50th wedding anniversary with family from all over the country! We had a great time. This was our third stay with you.Thanks, Olivia!

This is our 3rd year staying and it's a great property. Lots of room for multiple adults and children, it sits on a beautiful landscape and is a short drive to town. The property manager is very attentive and responsive. We would definitely stay again.

A Lovely Property

Stayed at Hobbit Hollow three nights over a wedding weekend in Skaneateles. Spacious, well equipped, gorgeous property. Great location with lovely views of the lake and the horse farm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - perfect for the occasion. Once the rain stopped we loved watching the horses adjacent to us - a bonus.

Wonderful Property

Hobbit Hollow is a great place for a family gathering. With 6 bedrooms sand baths, a series of gathering rooms, a large dinning room and kitchen, it is ideal for a gathering of family. There is also great outdoor spaces for hiking, eating and cooking outside and enjoying the outdoors. We'd love to do it again.

Perfection

Hobbit Hollow House was perfect for our group. The spacious house has large and comfortable gathering places both inside and out. All bedrooms were large and comfortable. The host kindly supplied bottles of wine from White Birch Vineyard, pasties and bottled water. The location was great with a view of the lake and close to town. We could not have had a better experience and we hope to visit again.
