This was our second time staying in this beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and well maintained home. Last time (about 3 years ago), we had 6 or 7 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. This time it was just two of us, and we were so happy to find this home was available for the dates we needed. And it was just as comfortable and convenient as last time. Easy walking distance to Ontario Pathways trailhead, easy driving distance to Lake Seneca, and our favorite - the "pick your own" apple orchards. Nothing like a crisp fall morning with family out in the fresh air! So many gracious welcoming touches too: treat basket, fresh cut flowers, many toiletries, fully stocked Keurig, lovely kitchen ware, fresh linens, thick towels, comfortable beds-- and full sized washer and dryer with detergent provided. Also the street is very quiet and the house is surrounded by lovely green space. You can't go wrong renting from this experienced dependable host!

Beautiful Quiet Home

I stayed with my family for a recent wedding down the road in Geneva, NY. Check in process was simple. The property is completely as advertised and was super clean. Check in and check out instructions were very clear and detailed. The area is beautiful farm country and very quiet and peaceful. Great stay.

Absolute gem! So comfortable. Super clean.

Perfect for family get-together. Wonderfully equipped kitchen. Lots of space to spread out, in the house and in the outdoors surrounding the house. Many thoughtful details throughout. Huge washer & dryer. Bedrooms and bathrooms lovely, towels and linens so thick and soft. Quiet street with plenty of private parking behind the house. Easy 10 or 15 minute stroll to the Ontario Pathways trailhead, where miles of hiking is available. Easy 10 to 15 minute drive to Seneca Lake State Park, to shopping (grocery and others), and to friendly churches. Local "you pick" farms for seasonal fruits (strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc) nearby as well. Lovely details in house include small watercolor paintings; games and recreation equipment; art supplies; fully stocked Keurig coffee maker; baskets of amenities; even, in our case, a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers that remained fresh throughout our six night stay.

Exceptionally clean, older, spacious home out in the country…. Maybe 6-8 miles from town. We never saw the park like setting / trails as pictured, but did see a sign for trails on the way to town one day. All spacious bedrooms are upstairs with a full bathroom on both levels which was perfect for three women. There are a LOT of windows downstairs, some with no coverings and the rest …. all with sheer coverings, which is fine …. except at night, it gave us an uneasy feeling, like being in a fishbowl effect. We met the owner, Larry one day and told him our concern with the sheers, so hopefully that will change for any future ladies that book there. Also included was the a hefty cleaning fee, but unlike other short term rental stays, we had to pull all the linens and take all the trash to the outside receptacle. All in all, it would be a great place for families, however, the three of us ladies were more comfortable at our next short term rental in downtown Seneca Falls. Side note FYI: we were there for the a concert at a Geneva event center. Our U*** ride to the event was 52 and the U*** home was 92.

Enjoyed our stay at this adorable older farmhouse. Larry was quick to communicate & a pleasure to chat with. We had everything we needed for our young children; pack n play, high chair, toys, etc.Would come back! Visited Watkins Glen, Geneva, & hit some spots suggested by the locals.

Comfortable farm house

We enjoyed our stay. The owners thought of lots of nice things like adarondack chairs under a shade tree and flowers around the property, a basket of goodies, toiletries in the bathroom. The nightly price was fair but the add on fees were absolutely ridiculous —cleaning fees and we took out our own trash and stripped our own beds. Other fees added up to much more than the price of the rental!! Appreciated the coffee and we’ll stocked kitchen utensils plates etc.
