About this property

Farmhouse, Gateway to Finger Lakes, Dog Friendly & EV charger

Relax in our large living room, watch birds from the kitchen, hike our field and forest behind, visit Finger Lakes Wine Country, Ski at Greek Peak, explore Ithaca and all the lovely waterfalls ... Grab ice cream down the street at the neighborhood spots. This house has two large living rooms, (including one with a recently refurbished Steinway baby grand piano), two porches, a greenhouse, and a lovely garden. Plenty of space for your whole family. Only a short drive to Ithaca, Owego, Cortland, wine country. There is a Finger Lakes Land Trust preserve adjacent, and many trails start in the backyard. Our car charger is available for your use while you are a guest (J-1772). We are happy to host well behaved dogs. (No cats, please).

NOTES: The house is vintage and was built in 1866, thus when booking please realize that it may show its age! We are constantly making improvements -- it still has 19th century charm and blemishes. For winter, please inquire for availability.

About the host

Hosted by Joan and Leo Macdonald

Host profile image

We are both scientists (a chemist and a geoscientist). We have two daughters and two dogs. We grew up in the Finger Lakes region and really enjoy spending time hiking, wading, swimming, fishing and exploring here. We enjoy being with family in this spacious house and garden and on the trails, and we hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful old farmhouse has a field and a very large forested tract behind it. We originally got it because we wanted the open space, but the house, greenhouse, and garden are really nice to hang out in. There are a lot of old logging/hiking trails to explore and an old cabin that you can access by arrangement. Our property backs up against a wildlife preserve owned by the Finger Lakes Land Trust. Hiking there is also allowed.

What makes this property unique

Wonderful for family or small group gatherings. Convenient to nearby colleges and university (Cortland, Ithaca College, Cornell, Binghamton), Greek Peak, kayaking/canoeing/fishing, There is a trout stream in walking distance. Finger Lakes waterfalls, trails, wine country ... There are 2 ice cream stores, a local diner, a playground and state land and Finger Lakes Land Trust Preserve all within walking distance.
