The Garden Studio was clean and the accoutrements were just right. Gina is an excellent host, very responsive. The location was perfect for our exploration of the southern part of the FLX region. It was a perfect location to celebrate our 37th anniversary. We recommend the FingerLakes Cider House and the Taco and Tequila Restaurant as great local places to visit.

I loved my stay here! The hosts Gina and Tony have thought of everything one could possibly need. It’s a great location, with beautiful gardens and a private outdoor space to sit. The bed was sooo comfortable, and the banana nut muffins were the best I’ve ever had. Thanks Gina and Tony for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Nigro and Tony Del Plato

Host profile image
Tony and I are fortunate to host people – looking for a romantic get away, to just relax and unwind, joining friends to celebrate, who appreciate wine, artisan beer, cider and Finger Lakes Cheese trails. They also enjoy hiking, visiting beautiful gorges, appreciate comfy well appointed, and self catering accommodations
We love the Finger Lakes....whats' not to love....the bounty of food to the natural beauty of our lakes, gorges, and waterfalls. We are originally for Brooklyn New York and now reside in Interlaken, named for between the lakes.
Note: We also are happy to offer dish washing, daily if needed :). We are a text away to provide this service. The sink is available in the bathroom. This service has worked well for our guests. We invite you to visit.

Why they chose this property

Our Guesthouse location is perfectly situated between the lakes and easy drives to Watkins Glen, Ithaca and Geneva. We are just 3 miles from Cayuga Lake and 5 miles to Rt 414 the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. It's growing and upcoming quaint village. We are situated at the end of the village next to farm field. Makes for great sunsets and star cover.

What makes this property unique

This beautiful 1850 Greek Revival has a wrap around porch. The studio was added in 1999 and is attached yet private and separate from the rest of house, that is a Guesthouse. Our location is literally the heart of the Finger Lakes and perfect for exploring other parts of the Finger Lakes. Did I mention, the Studio is spacious, well appointed and comfy. Offers coffee/tea, microwave, toaster, blender, refrigerator, plus numerous amenities. And you will find lots of treats :)
