  • My husband and I come to the Finger Lakes every year for our Anniversary. We stayed at Terry Hill this year and what a pleasure this house was! It is simply beautiful and comfortable. Our 2 Pugs could not get the hard wood floors down though...they were sliding all over which was quite funny to see. We love this house and we will be back again next year. Thank you!

  • We stayed the week of April 19th and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house and grounds are lovely, and the weather fantastic. We toured the wineries, collected beads for braclets and found a fantastic crepe place in Canadaigua - worth the trip! If you want lush surroundings, beautiful views and laid back living, this is the rental for you.

  • I grew up in this house, with years of happy memories. My grandfather built the house in 1878 and raised seven children there. For many years it was the vineyard manager's home, until the family resumed operations. For decades it was a plain farmhouse, but it is now very luxurious. For those who wish to escape the cares of life, I highly recommend this house and its quiet solitude. You will rediscover your soul in this house; it is well worth the experience.

  • Dear Terry: What a wonderful week we've had in your beautiful home in a lovely setting on Lake Keuka. Our party of 4, are all "senior wine lovers - agewise and wine-wise! Your house is very comfortable, convenient and well equipped. We appreciated everything being clean and took care of the property as we would our own homes. Scenery, sights and sounds of nature on Middle Rd. are awesome (deer, fox, cidadas, blue-jays, etc.) Of all the wineries we visited, Bully Hill was our favourite. Bob, our tour guide was great and told the amazing story of Taylor Wines. The late Walter Taylor was obviously a colourful character! The Taylor Museum and gallery are well worth seeing and our visit was complete with a wonderful lunch on their patio. . We also went further afield; enjoyed the Corning Glass Museum and Watkins Glen State Park. Flowers were left on the kitchen counter for the next fortunate tennants and hope we may be fortunate in returning again. Doug & Jackie Nicholson, Toronto Ont. Canada.

    DEAR TERRY, JUST A NOTE TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED YOUR HOUSE, AS WELL AS THE WHOLE FINGER LAKES AREA. THE VIEWS, FROM EVERY WINDOW IN THE HOUSE, WERE FANTASTIC. NICE QUIET STREET WAS A WELCOME RESPIT FOR ME, AS I TOIL IN THE CITY TRAFFIC ALL DAY LONG, AS A TROLLEY DRIVER FOR THE MBTA. WE BOTH ENJOYED THE SNUG HARBOR RESTAURANT, AS WELL AS THE COFFEE AT THE LITTLE PLACE IN THE BASEMENT ACROSS FROM THE COMMON. GREAT ICE CREAM NEXT DOOR AS WELL. WE MADE REPEATED TRIPS BACK TO THE GENERAL STORE IN BRANCHPORT, FOR THE VERY FINE BAKED GOODS. WE VISITED THE CURTISS MUSEUM ON OUR WAY HOME. WHAT A GREAT PLACE! WE HOPE TO RETURN AGAIN, TO YOUR LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN. IT WAS THE SHORTEST TRIP TO ITALY WE EVER MADE. REGARDS,

    What an incredibly beautiful location your home is in! We enjoyed our vacations so much ... It was a perfect setting for us. We ate all the meals we could on the deck, enjoying the view of the lake and vineyards...What a PERFECT setting for a celebration. Heard many family comments to the effect of, "Oh we should definitely come back here!" Hopefully we were good enough guests that we can come back! Thanks for all your help; this was truly a pleasure in planning and a delightful time. Many thanks,

  • My wife and I and our three kids had a great time staying in this big house. The location is beautiful, great for riding bikes and walking around - nice views of the whole valley. The house and the yards outside had tons of room for playing etc. It was a very relaxing place to stay, and we had a lot of fun.
