About this property

Iconic Finger Lakes Home/ Ithaca College Grad May Weekend Open 2026


One of the Finger Lakes’ most distinctive historic properties, the former White Gazebo Inn B&B, is now available for weekly vacation rentals!

Nestled among rolling pastures and peaceful woodlands, the White Gazebo property features an original 1853 Victorian gazebo, a picturesque period barn, and the timeless charm of a historic home.

The main house offers 3–4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, blending historic character with modern comfort. A thoughtful addition includes a spacious primary suite, a cozy family room, a cheerful breakfast nook, and a full laundry/utility room. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom—both with views of the gazebo and ample closet space.

Step outside to private terraces and patios, perfect for picnics, barbecues, or sipping Finger Lakes wine. The extensive grounds invite long walks, peaceful moments of relaxation, or lively gatherings with family and friends. And for warm summer days, enjoy the refreshing in-ground pool, complete with lounge furniture and a gas grill.

The cottage, while cozy, serves as more than just extra sleeping space—it’s a convenient pool house, changing area, or a handy kitchenette for outdoor picnics and events. (Please note: the cottage is not available for May graduations.)

With its scenic setting and historic charm, the White Gazebo property is an ideal venue for family reunions, bridal showers, weddings, and receptions. Over the years, it has warmly hosted many celebrations of life’s biggest moments.

Please Note: Summer 2026 bookings are available Saturday to Saturday only—
With the exception of Cornell and Ithaca College graduations.

Amazing place and location

We had an amazing stay at the White Gazebo! We were there for a family wedding and then vacation. There were 8 adults and 3 young children and we had more than enough room. The place was nicely stocked with all essential kitchen and cooking needs. We absolutely loved sitting on the covered porch and using the pool. The location was great to visit all the surrounding waterfalls and wineries. We would absolutely stay there again.

Great Gazebo Getaway

Our overall stay at The White Gazebo was wonderful! The proximity to Seneca and Cayuga Lake was fabulous, as well as all the wineries/breweries/restaurants located near them. Even when not touring the falls, hiking, etc., The White Gazebo is supreme for relaxation. Our family truly enjoyed, the house, the cottage, the pool and all of the yard games provided. Our party of adults, plus one infant, would not hesitate to revisit The White Gazebo again!

Cozy cottage

This was a great place for our first summer vacation to the finger lakes. The pool and grill were a great touch. We would explore the park/lakes in the morning and come back and swim/grill. It’s close to a lot of nice wineries. The house is big enough for a family and very cozy. We spent most of our time on the outside patio! The cottage is adorable and was a perfect place to sleep at night.

Finger Lakes Family

Thank You Christine for hosting my families reunion with four of our daughters that live across the country. Your property, house , and especially the pool for such a hot week was ideal. The house is soo close to everything in T-Burg, grassroots, and the finger lakes yet the property has a feel of being in our own private world. Your place will leave all of us with special memories that will last a lifetime.

Family gathering around the pool.

We had a great week at the White Gazebo. There were 11 of us -- from age 1 through 71 -- and there was room for all in this lovely home. Christine was an excellent host and very responsive when we had questions. Trumansburg is a nice little town with plenty to do. We bowled and went to the farmers market and the fair, but we mostly relaxed around the pool and on the patio, enjoying family time together. We highly recommend the White Gazebo!

Extended Family trip!

We had a wonderful time at the white gazebo! Our group consisted of two families each with small children and one older couple. The setup was really perfect for us. Everyone had a space and we were all very comfortable. The house was very clean and well taken care of. We had everything we needed there! We especially LOVED the pool! So glad it was safely fenced in too! There's a great playground at a school across the street and the town is walking distance. This was a perfect place for us and we hope to visit again in the future! And can't forget Christine, our host was very responsive.

Wonderful Time in the Finger Lakes Region

Our family of 10 who traveled from NC and FL had a wonderful 7 night stay at the White Gazebo Inn. In addition to the main home, we rented the cottage. This allowed for ample space for all. We especially enjoyed the outdoor spaces; the large covered patio was a perfect setting for dinners and allowed us to eat outside even when the rain came. The pool was a bonus, although a little cold for our southern blood, we still enjoyed it! The White Gazebo Inn was also a great location to explore the many waterfalls and wineries we had on our itinerary for the week. Christine, the owner even provided passes for us to get free parking to some of the sites we visited. I give our stay an A++ and would highly recommend The White Gazebo Inn for any family looking to explore the Finger Lakes Region in a private home in the heart of all the region has to offer.

Trumansburg is recommended

Our family had a very relaxing and enjoyable week in Trumansburg. We were very pleased with the house , yard and pool. The main house has four bedrooms with very comfortable beds. We slept 7 people in 4 beds comfortably. The cottage at pool side was not available to us. It looked smaller than we expected, but we did not need it. It rained off and on and the covered patio was perfect for gatherings of friends and family. The location is perfect for a short walk to ice cream or to dinner in the main village. Christine was very nice and I was able to text her with any questions. I recommend this home.

Great stay!

We had 5-6 adults and 3 children staying in both the house and the cottage! We enjoyed the large yard and pool for games and activities. We are a gaming/puzzle family so the kitchen table doubled as a game table after dinner and the dining room was a perfect puzzle table. The parlor off the Master bedroom is in the middle of the house where our 4 and 8 yr olds were sleeping. Totally thought they'd get woken up from noise...but with the bathroom fan on it was actually very quiet in there. The cottage was small but had what we needed - another bed and a close bathroom during pool time. Trumansburg is a cute town and Ithaca is very close. We enjoyed Trimmers Ice Cream and Not Your Dad's Ice Cream, both in town. We travelled short distances for Museum of the Earth, Ithaca Children's Garden, Ithaca Bakery and the Trumansburg Golf Course. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Definitely a great homebase for activities and a great place to spend time with family and friends!

This is a wonderful, quiet, gem.

Christine is wonderful, honest and reasonable. She was incredibly accommodating, and her check-in liaison (Terry) was a joy! The property is quiet and spacious, a glorious respite! The pool alone is worth the price of admission. Glorious and historic, yet modern enough to fulfill everyone's needs. Easily handled our group of 10 (including the pool house) without any sense of crowding...and the sweet covered patio, with grand tables and a grill centered our meals and social activities. Walking the edges of the property is so quietly comforting. All ten of us wish we were there right now! Thank you so much Christine.

We loved this house!

This beautiful home and setting exceeded all of our expectations. We were in the Finger Lakes for a family wedding and wanted to find a place that we could be together, but still have our own space. The house is very inviting and the furniture is comfortable. The decorating is lovely and the space was more than we had hoped for. I don't think anyone spent anytime in the living room or formal dining room because we all enjoyed being together in the breakfast room and family room. Two of the groom's Aunts came (on from CA and one from NE) and it was nice that they could have the upstairs bedrooms and bat all to themselves. We went to Ithaca to pick them up at the airport and stopped by Wegman's Food Store, which was a real shopping experience for them. We ended up going there 3 days in a row. There is a food store, liquor store, ice cream and other shops and restaurants less than a half mile from the house. We had dinner at "Little Venice" in Trumansburg two nights in a row. It is only a 10 minute walk. My son and his fiance went to the "Rongo" and enjoyed the live music (they bought a CD of the group that was playing). After the reception, on Saturday afternoon we had about a dozen people stop by for dessert. Everyone raved about the house. The Gazebo was a perfect setting for more pictures. Sunday we made arrangements to take a tour and do a wine tasting at Heart and Hands Winery. It is on the other side of Cayuga Lake in Union Springs. Great tour and great wine! My favorite spot was on the covered patio where I had my coffee every morning. I was hoping to see some deer, and two fawns walked through the yard a few times. The pool and covered patio saved the day when the grandchildren came. We were able to cook, drink and relax and still keep an eye on all of them. There is plenty of yard space for fun and games. A also wanted to mention that the kitchen is so well stocked with dishes, glasses and every appliance (blenders, food processors, crock pot, etc.) you could want. I would love to stay here again on any future trips.

Beautiful property with pool - walk to restaurants, live music and shopping in Trumansburg

Our group was made up of 4 adults and 3 children aged 8,9 and 14 coming from Canada and France. Arrival was super easy - Christine provided key less entry code which gives you and your group the flexibility of arriving at time convenient to you. During the stay, it also made it easy to have people do what they wanted without worrying of who would have the key and time meeting back at the house. Christine called us to check everything was ok. The pictures on the website are a true representation of the house - the terasse / covered patio sat our group of 7 very easily and it was a godsend the nights were we had rain. We could still enjoy dinner outside. The kitchen is small and a bit dark (no windows) but very functional - you have everything you need to cook meals for a large family/group - bbq, pizza, there is even a s'mores maker and a ice cream maker - plenty to bake as well - not that we had time to. Conveniently there is a grocery store and a wine store less than 5 minutes by car. There is a gas station within walking distance if your forgot milk. You can walk to Trumansburg to restaurants. Ithaca is 20 minutes away by car. There is a school across the street with tennis courts, basket. All courts and a large play ground for kids. We kept busy for the all week between swimming in the pool to start or end the day and exploring this wonderful region. We hiked the trail to Taughannock falls state parks - 1.6 miles there and back. Then we hiked Robert Treman state park with Lucifer falls. We enjoyed dinners at little Venice in Trumansburg - they will take you gladly for dinner until 10pm. We enjoyed live music at the Rongovian Ambassy. We visited Ithaca, Cornell university. We had lunch at dano's Heuriger on Seneca and tasted local wines from Ravine's, Damiani's, Wagner, Standing stone's vineyards. We even enjoyed the local fair held in Trumansburg at the end of August. One our last day, part of our groups visited Watkings Glen state park while we had to sadly head back to Toronto. We will be back to the finger lakes area and based on group size would likely stay at Christine's house again. It is central and within short distance from everything. A perfect location to visit and enjoy what the finger lakes have to offer. I can't believe we live so close (less than 5 hrs) and had never visited. Thank you Christine for your wonderful hospitality and sharing your beautiful property with us. We enjoyed it tremendously. The Delivuk & Perez families.

Beautiful property and kind owner!!!

The owner went out of her way to SAVE our family vacation after the property we had originally booked was unexpectedly not available. We lucked out! White Gazebo Inn is a beautiful place, with lovely old evergreens and a historic barn and gazebo. The beds were very comfortable, and the layout of the house allowed flexibility in our sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is well-stocked, and opens to an eating nook and family room with TV, which was perfect for the kids on lazy mornings. The pool is awesome, large and and well-maintained with room to lounge about in the sun or shade. The nearby cottage is very cute and well-suited to a couple. We enjoyed nightly dinners on the lovely outdoor terrace, badminton on the expansive lawn, and tennis at the high school across the street. The location is very convenient in downtown Trumansburg, but it feels like you are out in the country. We loved the frozen custard within walking distance of the house, great NY pizza, and Taughannock Falls just down the road. The owner is wonderful, even making an extra trip to the post office during our stay to retrieve our package. Thank you, Christine!

About the host

Hosted by Christine R Swift

Host profile image
I welcome you to my childhood home!... where growing up in one of the best small towns in the country, Trumansburg, provided me fond, lasting memories.
And as you can see, I always took great pride in taking care of the family property- that's me keeping the Gazebo spotless oh so many years ago... Even then, I always knew there was no place like home. Experience our home for yourself and you will agree.

Why they chose this property

For years, my parents welcomed guests from all over the world into our home as the White Gazebo Inn Bed and Breakfast.

We hosted parents and students from Cornell and Ithaca colleges. Grassroots music fans, international scholars and wine enthusiasts all which enjoyed the welcoming sight of the White Gazebo as you drove into Trumansburg.

Growing up here I have fond memories of the many family gatherings of picnics under the trees to celebrating a family wedding in the gazebo. The White Gazebo is serene, private, and convenient to many of the major attractions of the Finger lakes.

We will help you navigate your way to them with pleasure! After all, we now live elsewhere, and could vacation anywhere, but we choose to come back year after year and spend our precious vacations in the Finger Lakes. You should, too!

What makes this property unique

Why you will LOVE the Finger Lakes... (And why the White Gazebo is the perfect base for enjoying all the best the region has to offer...
THE WINERIES: (Of Course...)
The White Gazebo is uniquely situated for you to enjoy easy access to both the Cayuga Lake and the Seneca Lake wine trails:
The Cayuga Lake wine trail starts one mile from here, and wineries such as Americana (2 miles away) are now places to gather and relax and enjoy both cuisine and entertainment as well as the fruits of the vine. Seneca lake wineries such as Hazlitt's and Wagner have become popular gathering places for Friday night music on the Terrace and other special events, and are only 10-15 minutes away from the White Gazebo. THE OUTDOORS:
With Taughannock Falls park just one mile away and its miles of hiking trails, lake access, and fishing options, there is no end to the outdoor activities you can pursue right here. Additionally, the proximity of the Finger Lakes National Forest to the White Gazebo opens even more possibilities for hiking, fishing, and more. Even Lake access to Seneca is only 15 minutes away! We love to kayak, bike, and fish, too, and can help you find your way to the activities you desire!
THE REGIONAL FOOD REVOLUTION:
This region is the site of the most dynamic natural, organic and local food revolution anywhere. We can get you started with how you can enjoy the Trumansburg farm market scene, local producers, and soon you'll be out on the grill, cooking up anything you can imagine, all produced and raised within miles of Trumansburg! MUSIC, CULTURE, CRAFT FAIRS AND OTHER EVENTS:
The Grassroots Festival; Finger Lakes Wine Festival, Ithaca Festival; Cherry Festival; Cornell Botanic Gardens; and Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary. THE MUSEUMS AND REGIONAL HISTORY:
With the Museum of the Earth just 5 miles away, and the Museums of Ithaca (ScienceCenter, Johnson Art Museum) And Corning Museum of Glass only a few minutes further, there's plenty to do even on rainy days!
