Holidays in NY

Our family went to see our uncle and aunt who live in Scottsville on short holiday. It was such a great location and we are farm family from Virginia so we felt so at home. Things we close and easy to navigate. Thanks hope to do it again soon.

Great time in Western NY

We had a wonderful stay at Leg Up Stables. Everything was just how it was described. The cottage was clean and had all the items we needed. Entering and contact with the owner was smooth and easy. It was the perfect location for us to visit Letchworth State Park and an hour-and-a-half trip to Watkins Glen. Thank you!

Beautiful location, private cozy cottage

Cozy cottage within a large horse farm. Surrounding area of gently rolling hills and pristine farms. Directions and contactless access were flawless. Cottage as depicted. Bedroom was very clean. Wonderfully easy access for senior dog, and we greatly enjoyed the wide expanse of yard and places to walk. So enjoyable to view all the horses on the property! Host was responsive and provided a detailed guide and some fresh vegetables to enjoy. I imagine this cottage would especially be a dream place to stay for someone with a horse in tow! We just would have appreciated window coverings - blinds or shades - to block views from the outside at night. There were people coming and going at night, accessing barns. All-in-all, a delightful stay!

PERFECT!

Myself along with 2 friends chose this place because it was dog friendly with plans of hiking at Letchworth State Park. The cottage was absolutely perfect and everything it said it would be. It was clean and had everthing we needed for an amazing trip. The fact that it is on a horse farm made it even better. There was so much land for walking the dogs and they loved the horses as well. It was great waking up and looking at horses out of your bedroom window and seeing these majestic beings We took advantage of the opportunity to take a lesson and ride. What an experience! I cant say enough good things about this place. Thank you Alexandria and Kim for making this a truly blessed trip.

Perfect weekend getaway

We traveled up from SC for my daughter's college graduation. This was a perfect little piece of heaven. We didn't want to stay in the hustle and bustle of Rochester but didn't want to be too far away. The travel to RIT was straight up the highway. Access to the highway, grocery, town, and things to do was perfect for us. We were blessed to have arrived only a week after one of the horses had her sweet sweet baby. The kids loved exploring the farm. Management was amazing! They took time out of their busy schedule to give us on a tour of the farm. Even in the rain! We got to pet horses and interact with the foal. We didn't feel like we bothered anyone coming and going as we did. We were even blessed to witness the Northern Lights over the farm. We hope to stay again when we can stay longer.

Quiet and Quaint

The Painted Pony Cottage was conveniently located near Letchworth State Park and a short drive to Canandaigua Lake and Conesus Lake so it was easy to explore the area. Leg Up Stables is a beautiful property, and we enjoyed our time there. Loved all the horses!

How refreshing

The cottage at the farm was quiet, safe, and had the things one would need for a trip (shower, coffee maker, full kitchen, a/c, TV, wifi). There is plenty of space to walk around and visit with the horses. The owner was on site and was helpful with questions. Super bonus=dog friendly! :) I hope to return because it provided privacy, safety and I could bring my pup. Very peaceful.

Leg up - Great Place

Quiet, peaceful, friendly people. We enjoyed all the folks we encountered. It was great to see an active horse farm, riding lessons, bailing hay, horses in pasture, etc. Our dogs were amazed at these large but friendly critters. It's our 'go to' place when we are upstate NY.

Nice place

Our stay was very nice. The cabin was cute and comfortable with the amenities listed. I would have liked to have a couple of more towels for ou family of five but we made due. Would definitely stay again and hopefully take that tour and maybe a riding lesson. Loved being able to watch the horses. Good location in a cute town.

A lovely stay + a horse-riding lesson

My older daughter had been asking me for a horse-riding lesson for years. A week ago, I finally had a chance to do that for her. We stayed at the cottage while helping her move to her first-year college dorm in Rochester, NY. The cottage was quiet and peaceful. It had everything we needed. The owner's responses were timely and helpful. We had a lovely stay!

Country Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Painted Pony Cottage. It was quiet and peaceful. The price was great! We didn't have time to explore the property but there were so many activities if we had had time. The kitchen was well stocked for meal prep, but Geneseo was so close if one would rather go out for food!

An amazing trip

The farm is gorgeous. The property is vast and it feels like you are on a wildlife refuge. There are so many horses and you can take a lesson of you like. So much to do in the area, we will have to go back next year to check out more! Great host.

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra Lerner

Growing up on our family farm was an amazing experience. I was able to ride many horses, all year long. I learned the value of working hard and enjoying nature. Now our farm can share that experience with others.

Why they chose this property

The Painted Pony Cottage is located in the hart of a historic horse community. We would love to share this opportunity with others. Come experience wide open spaces and many horses on a working farm.
