I can’t say enough about how much we loved this property. Emily was easy to communicate with and when we asked for special accommodations she was supportive. If you are going to Watkins Glen area, or wine country this is the place to stay.

This charming farmhouse was in an idea location for exploring the area around and adjacent to Lake Seneca. Comfortable inside with plenty of space for everyone to sleep and relax, it included a generous backyard area for socializing outdoors as well. I have already recommended the property to family and friends- hats off to our hosts!

Spacious and beautifully renovated farmhouse, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nice fire pit in the backyard to sit and enjoy a glass of wine! Would like to stay again, when back in the area.

Lovely house, great location

This house was so cute and in a perfect location! We had everything we needed & plenty of space for a girls weekend. Check in / out was super simple. Emily even sent me a bunch of recommendations for wine tours for us! Only confusing part was the driveway, was a bit hidden and washed out.

Can't go wrong with staying at this Farmhouse. Was a great location for our trip being just a short drive (30 min) to Ithaca, (15 min) to Watkins Glen, and wineries/breweries everywhere :) House was very accommodating, large rooms, lots of seating, beds were comfortable. Place was clean and had everything you need. Air conditioning unit downstairs and in each bedroom kept the house very comfortable. We lucked out and weather allowed us to enjoy the fire pit. Overall a great VRBO and would recommend.

We had an amazing stay during our recent vacation as the Valois farm house! The house is well kept and spacious-- it was plenty of room and had everything we needed for our week long stay. It is also centrally located in the Finger Lakes. Very close to Seneca Lake, but also a short drive to Cuyuga Lake, Watkins Glen, and Ithaca. No shortage of things to do in the area. Plus many evenings we simply stayed at the house and enjoyed card and board games with the family! Very cozy! Communication and check-in was incredibly easy. Very much enjoyed the stay.

Spacious, comfortable historic home

This 1850’s home has been fully updated to reflect modern tastes, yet retains its original details and charm - we loved it! Every need a traveler may have had been anticipated, with a well-appointed kitchen and bathroom, bookshelves filled with interesting books, games and toys for children, comfortable beds and bedding, and even tissues in nearly every room (important for those with allergies or eyes that weep from blocked tear ducts). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return!

Great location and quaint house! Cleanliness needs to improve - there were cobwebs in numerous areas as well as the front loading washing machine was very dirty in the seal area (which our host was quick to remedy the next day after reporting it). Other recommendations would be room darkening curtains in the upstairs bedrooms, better air conditioning (possibly installing a central air unit and/or heat pump), privacy glass install for front and back doors, and maybe a half bath addition because 1 bathroom is rough for a family of 5 (even though we knew what we were getting ourselves into). I must admit that our conversation with Emily when we reported the dirty washing machine was very odd...she made the situation into us having a problem with the overall house (when it was the washing machine that we had an issue with at that time) and was quick to ask us if we wanted to relocate our family of 5 after 1 night of staying there. She went into telling my wife and me a story about having to replace a boiler recently and not making any money on short-term rental people...which my wife and I looked at each other when Emily was telling us this and thinking...we're short-term renters! Overall, this stay was interesting to say the least!

This was a great property to stay at. There were five of us and we enjoyed our time immensely. There was one exception and that was upon arrival. Pulled up in the grass behind the porch, couldn't tell that the ground was not flat and ended up on a slight drop off. Had to call AAA to come and get me out. We still had a great time at this place. I think the property host should put up a sign not to go in that area, that there is a slight off. We were trying to get as close to the back door as possible.

Pleasant stay

This is an older home with tons of character. The kitchen and the bathroom have been updated and are very nice. We spent our days visiting the many wineries that are close by and our evenings playing games on the large kitchen table. Mainly because it was very hot the days that we stayed and the downstairs ac is located in the kitchen. Although it did keep the rest of the downstairs comfortable just not as cool as the kitchen. The upstairs was very warm when we got there but the ac units in the bedrooms did a nice job of making it cool enough to sleep. The noise from the units was tolerable. The beds were very comfortable. Check-in was very easy and the hosts communicated in a timely manner. The only drawback was the home is very close to a main road and you will definitely hear the traffic going by in the front two bedrooms.

Perfect location for hiking and sight seeing around the lakes. The house is an older farmhouse but has been updated to feel very modern but still cozy. Lots of room on the main floor, including a newly refinished bath with all sorts of toiletries. THE TOWELS WERE AMAZING. I love special touches like that, NO ONE wants to use stiff starchy walmart like towels while on vacation. Kitchen had nearly everything that you would need even though we ate out 70% of the time it was nice to have everything available. The bed rooms on the 2nd floor all connect in a loop around the stairs. So if using one of the smaller rooms note that you would have to pass through a larger rooms to get there. I used that room myself and I loved it. Was at the back side of the house, quieter and the bed was great (twin). located near several wineries that had bands, tours etc going on. Close enough to all the parts that we were able to do 4 of them in 3 days! We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again.
