Sunsets, Stars, Sleep near the Sheep. Centrally located to many rural towns.
Enjoy a quiet, peaceful stay in a 1 story house on a ranch. Located 15 minutes from the City of Hornell, Alfred Colleges & Tall Pines ATV Park. 40 minutes to Swain Ski Resort and Stony Brook Park, 45 to Keuka Lake & wineries, & 55 to Corning. The hilltop views showcase amazing sunsets, loads of stars and the colors of fall foliage. Take a walk down one of the paths on the 100 acre ranch. Sit on the ridge and watch the sunsets. Have coffee in the sunroom watching the sunrise. Watch the birds, wildlife and animals out the windows and from the country front porch. The house has a new whole house water filtration system. The open concept plan gives you a wonderful space for individuals, families or work roommates. Many of our guests have stayed here while working on local jobs. You have the privacy of the entire house. We are close to the city of Hornell with many stores, including Walmart and Wegmans. Enjoy the local restaurants like Cidar Creek Brewerey, Marinos fine dining, Killbuck Inn, and many other restaurants plus diners and pizzerias. You might run into Bill Pullman. He is from our small town and still owns and visits his family's farm. There are many local wedding venues in the area also. Our location is listed first on the Steuben County NY Peaks list at an elevation of 2410'. Call Hill Mountain is the 39th highest out of 2076 named mountains in the Allegheny Plateau. Which is a part of the Appalachian Mountains. This gives us the beauty of a winter wonderland during snow season, and cool breezes during the hot summer. Our town allows atvs to ride the roads legally and Tall Pines is just over the hill. There are many county and state lands around as well. You don't want to miss the opportunity to experience this unique location.

My friends and I stayed here and really enjoyed our time! Everything was perfect and we especially enjoyed getting to spend some time with the sheep! We hope to be back next year :)
Our six person family loved our stay! House was great for meals and card games! Amazing views and setting for walks and fires. Hosts were responsive and very helpful. Easy drive to Hornell and Alfred!
We stayed in this clean and comfortable home with our children to attend a nearby family wedding. We had a marvelous time! We absolutely loved all the vintage details in the kitchen, the stunning views and sunsets, playing outside and seeing the sheep. 10/10, I would come back just to stay in this home.
We stayed here so that we could visit a local college. It was a great stay. House was clean and snacks provided. The house owner was very help due to Google telling us to get off to early but was easy to find after that. Would stay again.
Michelle was a great host!! Easy to reach and super helpful with recommendations!! Definitely try Lains Cider Mill!! And the sheep!!! OMG! One of them walked right up to my husband to be petted! Overall wonderful experience.
For sure recommend!!!! Situated on a beautiful sheep farm in the hills of western NY, the scenery did not disappoint. The thoughtful hosts left yummy snacks and the house was fully stocked with anything you would need. Comfortable and clean, we’d stay again.
This property was nostalgic for me as it brought back wonderful memories of my grandparents. The property was clean and spacious both inside and out.
Would definitely recommend.
We rented the house to go on a winter dice run at Tall Pines ATV Park and had a blast! We had 3 couples and the house was great for us. The only thing that would have made it better was to have an additional 1/2 bath. One bathroom for 6 people was a bit tough but other than that the house is set up nice ffor famil
100 acre farm with 50+ little newborn lambs running around nearby was so darn cute!!. We had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The kitchen had all the essentials and plenty of space to spread out in the home. Sunsets were incredible and the nighttime sky's were awesome. About 15 min from ATV park made for a perfect long weekend. We will be back. Thanks much!
This property was a great fit for my family! We were in town for a wedding and lodging options are very limited with my large family. Three bedrooms were plenty for my family. Loved to open floor plan in the common area.
We live in a major metropolitan area and the quietness of the country was so relaxing. The sunsets were amazing and I was even able to take some excellent night photography.
The owner was very responsive when contacted and was a pleasure!
I would highly recommend this property for a vacation away from it all! We would definitely stay here again!

Hearing where you live I am very excited that you were able to experience the farm. I would love to see your pictures. Maybe share them on our facebook page? Thank you for the reviews!
I couldn't get over how beautiful this part of the country is. If you, like us, prefer to stay away from other people and closer to nature, you should consider this spot. From here we took moderate drives to Watkins Glen and Letchworth State Park, so lower Finger Lakes region should be accessible.
The house is clearly still a work in progress, but everything was tidy and clean. The kitchen was well stocked, and our kids enjoyed the board games and books made available. We watched the sheep, but didn't have time to get up close, though we were invited to do so if we wanted. All told, we were really pleased with our stay and would recommend.

Why they chose this property
This ranch is too beautiful not to share. While sitting in the back yard, you can see groups of 100's of yellow finches, the sheep, the amazing colors of the sky and the open skies bring the bright lights of the stars at night. Walk or drive to the ridge on our property and see sunsets that you will not forget. Our tenants say they are the best they have ever seen. Relax on the front porch and watch the deer, turkeys and other wildlife. Wild flowers are everywhere when in season.
What makes this property unique
It's a ranch. Part of the year sheep or cows will be grazing in the fields. The house has a large yard, an asparagus patch, and lots of room to hang outside. There are paths on the ranch and quiet country roads to walk on. It is centrally located with many state parks and attractions within an hour. Walk Watkins Glen, eat on the banks of Keuka Lake, Climb Stony Brook Park, view the gorge at Letchworth State Park. There are many local wineries and breweries in the area and of course on Keuka Lake. We are 40 minutes from Swain Ski Resort and closer to Tall Pines ATV Park. Coming into town to visit the Alfred colleges? We are right over the hill from them. There are amazing local events in the cities and towns such as the Wellsville and Dansville Balloon Rallies. The City of Hornell has large events for July 4th, the Maple City Festival and Hornell for the Holidays. Corning also hosts many events throughout the year. Or just stay at the house and enjoy a few days in the country. The wifi is great so feel free to work from here. There is something for everyone here.
