About this property

Amish Guest Farmhouse on Seneca Lake Wine Trail, Boasts Gorgeous Lake View

Located on Route 14, Penn Yan, New York, 14527, on the west side of Seneca Lake, the deepest of the Finger Lakes in Upstate New York.

Conveniently located about 12 minutes from both Geneva & Penn Yan on the Seneca Lake wine trail. This property is surrounded by 85 Acres of Beautiful Farmland.

In 2012, the property was purchased by a local horse-and-buggy Mennonite family. The Weaver family and their seven children are working each day to turn this farm and home into a nostalgic haven of rest for the world-weary travelers and for those who long for a more simple life.

While there is WiFi connection in the home, the Weaver family encourages visitors to hike, bike, and enjoy nature. There are herds of deer, friendly small animals, as well as many kinds of birds, and maybe a rare glimpse of a coyote.

With prior permission, visitors may enjoy most of the privacy of the farm's 85 acres, including a creek and gorge.

The farm boasts a spacious front yard that borders Route 14, and the only remaining working railroad in the region. Trains pass slowly once a day, creating a nostalgic twist to days gone by.

Enjoy a show of the morning sunrise or an afternoon picnic, complete with gorgeous lake views, from the spacious side porch.

This home offers a spacious 3,500 square feet, and can easily accommodate approximately 20 people. Enjoy gathering with friends and family in the beautiful wood-finished great room around the cozy fireplace.

The updated kitchen offers enough space to cook a feast, a new six-burner cook-top, double wall oven, stainless steel dishwasher, garbage disposal, large walk-in pantry, microwave, granite countertops and a large stainless steel fridge & freezer.

The Weaver family has been involved in greeting visitors for the past 18 years with the handmade quilts they've designed and sold all over the world. The family currently runs a country store out of the barn located on the property that features their charming homemade Amish quilts, homemade jams & jellies and homegrown vegetables when they're in season. To ensure the comfort and privacy of our guests, vacation rental parking is separate from the rest of the farm.

The home is decorated with local hand-stitched quilts, giving it a cozy old-fashioned feel.

This farmhouse is also available and perfect for weddings, reunions, church group retreats, quilting & sewing retreats, picnics and so much more!

My extended family and I stayed here for our family reunion weekend. The home was beautiful and had plenty of space for everyone. We had all age ranges from a 7 month old to 80 year-old's and the home was perfect for all. A bedroom and some sleeping spaces on the first floor with two bathrooms and the remaining bedrooms and bathroom upstairs so our children to nap during the day away from the noise. The home is perfectly located for various wine tasting trips and centrally located to beautiful parks for the kids. The hosts are very communicative and helpful. We had a wonderful stay.

The Weaver View Farm was perfect for our large family gathering. There was more than enough sleeping space for our 9 adults and five grandchildren. The kitchen is the heart of the home as there is so much space to work and eat. Our grandchildren enjoyed the large outdoor area to run around and play lawn games. They also enjoyed feeding the ponies April and Lily and gathering eggs from the chicken coop. Our daughters were happy that the property is pet friendly as their dogs were right at home. The proprietor Pauline is amazing. So friendly, kind and easy to communicate with. She is usually onsite during the days that the farm shop is open. She even gave our grandson, and my wife a ride in her horse drawn buggy. All in all we had a wonderful time during our stay.

For starters Pauline Weaver was a pleasure to work with. Answered every question promptly and had the house ready for us to just settle right in. At first I was a little leary choosing a "farm house" for my wife's birthday but the stay was amazing for us as a family of 7 with 2 dogs. The photos dont do the house justice. Its basically an old stately mansion with many rooms and bathrooms you can get lost in. Yet the kitchen is modern top notch including 2 large fridges, six burner stove, oven and microwave. While is does sit on a farm with country store, it was very quiet and peaceful with total privacy. It is near many wineries and breweries and we had a great hike at Watkin Glenn Gorge. We ended each night with a camp fire right behind the house. Pauline's store is very charming with great jams, honey and other treats. I would definitely recommend for large groups especially with pets.

We came to this property for my wife's surprise birthday with 3 of her closest friends and their families. The property was everything we hoped it would be. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds provided lots of room to explore and a beautiful view of the lake. Pauline could not have been any more responsive or accommodating. Be forewarned that if you are coming with kids there is no television in the house. We actually loved that we were able to unplug while we were there! All in all it was an experience we will never forget and are already forming plans for a return visit to this location!!!!

Fantastic family vacation! Plenty of space for 13 people and a dog. Great central location for all our activities- kayaking, wineries, picknpatch farm, and spotted duck ice cream. Pauline was an awesome host! Then of course there was the spectacular view!!Will definitely visit again if in the finger lakes.

The house is very spacious and everyone enjoyed it immensely. It brought us back to our childhood memories as we had an aunt with a farmhouse that was similar to this. Loved the store and enjoyed the beauty of the hand made quilts. I’ll definitely stay here again when I plan my next visit.

Perfect Family Holiday get together!

We came here with family to celebrate New Years. This was the perfect spot! We all had a comfortable place to sleep, the large kitchen was perfect for all of our meals and snacking, and the property was fun to explore! We had an infant and multiple dogs so we were very thankful that the house was so large and every bedroom was very quiet, no matter what else was going on in the living space. We would all recommend this house and will probably be back next year!!

Feeling At Home away from home

Our family has a wonderful time at our stay in the beautiful Amish farmhouse at the Weaver farm. The house was big and had an amazing nostalgic feel. The weather didn’t allow us to explore the property but we still had a great time being together! Pauline was a perfect host - so kind and accommodating. She always responded promptly and went out of her way to make our visit everything we’d hoped!
