About this property

Charming 3-Bedroom, 1-Bathroom; Farmhouse on Seneca Lake Wine Trail

Welcome to our beloved 1850s family farmhouse in the heart of the Finger Lakes, located right on the Wine Trail.

Just minutes from Seneca Lake, the home is ideally situated close to wineries, breweries, restaurants, gorges, waterfalls, state parks, Watkins Glen, and Ithaca.

Since purchasing the home, we’ve made many improvements and have plans for more. Please keep in mind that while the farmhouse is very clean, with comfortable beds and plenty of charm, it is an older home with some imperfections. We hope you'll appreciate its character and enjoy your stay.

The kitchen is spacious and newly renovated, offering plenty of room to cook meals and enjoy time with family and friends. An AC unit in the kitchen keeps the downstairs area very cool. There are spices stocked and some essentials.

The living room features a cozy seating area, perfect for morning coffee and conversation.

The TV room includes a comfortable sectional couch and a TV equipped with Roku; however, cable is not provided.

The bathroom is newly renovated, and has a walk in shower. It is located on the first floor. Please be cautious if you or a guest may have difficulty navigating at night, though night lights are provided.


The bedrooms are located upstairs. There are four bedrooms, each equipped with an AC unit.

Bedroom 1: Single Bed

Bedroom 2: Queen Bed

Bedroom 3: Single Bed

Bedroom 4- Queen Bed

The backyard is spacious and fairly private. There is a fire pit with a grill for you to use if you'd like to cook outdoors. Adirondack chairs surround the fire pit, creating a great spot to enjoy the countryside.

The house is listed for four guests, but we are open to two more guests with permission. There is a $20 fee per guest after four that you can add on at check out.

We are new to VRBO, but excited to host guests and keep our family home in the family!
