Grand Luxury Escape In The Heart Of Finger Lakes Wine Country
This is a large super unique and luxurious property nestled on a peaceful wooded landscape. Fields surround the gravel drive down to the walkway and its not uncommon to spot deer, rabbits, and many birds along the way. The illuminated walkway brings you to the house which is surrounded by a rambling brook/stream on both sides. A large wood deck is the perfect place to sit out and enjoy the sounds of nature. The house has three levels and has a open spacious floor plan. The kitchen has all modern conveniences including GE Profile Stainless Steel appliances and granite counter tops. There is Wi-Fi .The laundry room features front loading washer/dryer. Dining room has a large table and seating for eight. The mid level bedrooms (one queen bed, one full) each have a full bath. The half bath is in the laundry room, off the kitchen. The bottom level is a huge room with a walk out and fireplace and a queen bed. The back of the house features a 'glass room' with a futon that could sleep one or two more people. There are three full size couches that could easily sleep three more. It is a long walk to the door down a deck. It is NOT steep, but there aren't handrails until the bottom section. We recommend to bring your own drinking water as this home is on a well/septic system.

This Fall was our third stay at our home away from home. This spot truly is one of the best kept secrets in the Fingerlakes. The natural beauty in and around this home never ceases to amaze us! It is such a unique and comfortable spot. We sleep better here than in our own home. Thank you for always going above and beyond to welcome us, Grace!
Grace was incredibly easy to deal with and very prompt in answering any questions we had. This house is situated in the woods in a very peaceful, quiet setting. It was perfect for our large group of family.
We wish we could have had another day to just chill in the sunroom and feel a part of nature. Gorgeous room! We appreciated the spaciousness and were pleasantly surprised to find that there was wifi!
the rental was spacious, conveniently located t ofingerlakes wineries. kitchen had extras like spices.,the host supplied books games for guests. more lighting in living area and at deck area would be helpfu,. it was very dark becauseof all the tress. nice rental. the host was very responsive to our needs.
This is a wonderful property and very comfortable. It’s spacious, clean, and serviceable as well as being in a great location for wineries at both Seneca and Keuka Lakes. There’s just a couple of quirky things that would be helpful to know about in advance: you need to bring your own drinking water because the well water (although it’s been tested and is ok) isn’t recommended to be used; it’s about 150 feet from the parking area to the house down a long ramp with a number of steps and no handrail; and if you’re there in heating season, the heat is a little odd, and it took us a couple of calls to the owner to try to figure it out and we’re not sure we ever really did. But overall we had a great time and just wish we had had better weather to enjoy the beautiful wooded landscape.
This place was HUGE. It says it sleeps 8, but you can sleep WAY more. We were a group of 8 and were extremely comfortable - a bunch of ladies brought their own air mattresses and there is plenty of room to set them up.
As with other comments and the description, the walkway is a little bit away from where you park your cars. We had a lot of luggage and cases of water, so just be prepared! While we had no issues with the septic/well system, it does leave a bit of an odor, and a newly-pregnant guest was having some issues with the smell, but we were OK. I did not tell the host Grace about this as we assumed this was the case with the septic system/well system, but I apologize (Grace) if that's not the case!
Carpets could use some TLC but it's tough having white carpet and being around so many wineries!
Overall we had a great time and loved having so much space and feeling like we were in a GIANT cabin in the woods! Big thanks to Grace for hosting us - we all want to return to the Fingerlakes again, too!
This was a great property. The house was not only big, it was enormous. With 4 adult children it is good to have lost of space. This house has plenty of it. We could do yoga in the basement, relax in the huge living room, dance in the greenhouse and dine in the kitchen, all at the same time. House was clean and in the middle of the Woods. Very enchanting surroundings. Only thing you hear is a train every morning around 9.30 and the birds. For a big family I would certainly recommend it. Owner was very nice and responsive. 5 out of 5!
We were/are so love with the location, the setting, and the property that all who stayed with us were very impressed. It was like you're staying in a treehouse. We embraced the connection with the woods and outdoor cooking. We appreciated the lightly stocked spice cupboard and other non-perishable kitchen items (foil/plastic wrap/paper plates etc.) as well and some coffee/tea supplies. BYO bath/shower products.
Thank you so much Grace.
My family and I were thrilled to return to our favorite Finger Lakes property. This house truly is a hidden gem and one of the best kept secrets of the area. We love everything about it! The location and design can't be beat. Our last visit was in the summer, but it was a true treat to return in the Fall. It is the perfect place to truly unwind. Thank you to Grace for another amazing stay!
Grace was so easy to deal with. We thought the house was a great value and we plan on staying there again. We couldn't elieve how much space we had in the common areas.
The property blends in with the wooded surroundings in which it is set. Huge glass windows everywhere provide ample opportunity to enjoy nature from the comfort of home. Kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures are top of the line. The four levels of the home are spacious so that our family of seven were never cramped. Two and a half bathrooms meant no one had to with their turn. We would come back,
The property was beautiful. Though it rained off and on and we couldn't utilize the deck, the "glass room" was wonderful and it is worth it for someone on to utilize it as a bedroom.
We hit a lot of snags but we had great communication with Grace and she solved all!
The walk from where we parked to the actual house is very long but not steep. Just be prepared for a small hike. But if you take that same hike and appreciate what is around you it is quite breathtaking.
My only real.complaint is there was not a lot of cookware and the power went out while we were there around 9pm and had we not brought our own lanterns we would have been out of luck. ( our phones were down on % and none of us were tired) there were no flashlights. We were told power would be on in 2 hours. It was off until 5 am.
We went there to antique and there are plenty of places to do that just call ahead of time. The times were kind of goofy and wrong in Google.
Over all our stay was great. The big bedroom was BIG and the other bedrooms were cute. Some things were a little worn but the place had updated appliances.
Would stay again.

As we approached the property, the walkway was covered with leaves and sticks. Rain might have accounted for this, but the deck area was covered with cigarette butts as well. Upon entering the house there was a damp mustiness, and an unpleasant odor which turned out to be the result of a septic system failure. While most rooms were neat, and beds had been changed, the dishwasher held dirty dishes and a plate of leftover food was in the oven.
We went out to a restaurant for dinner and returned home to go to bed, no showers were taken that evening.
The next morning, one member of our group started the dishwasher, and took a shower. At that point sewage water began to back up in the adjacent shower, and flooded the floor. The odor from the failed septic system was overwhelming.
The owner arranged for a plumber who was scheduled to arrive by 12:30. Our party was in town for a wedding and moved out to a hotel in order to be able to attend the wedding.
We received a refund from the owner, but are still waiting for a refund from VRBO.
We had a great relaxing weekend in this house. Grace was a great host and kept all lines of communication open. The house was clean and well stocked and the open floor plan was great you could be in the kitchen and still talk to people in the living room. We will definitely be renting with Grace again!
