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.

About the host
Hosted by Christine R Swift
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!
