Best place to stay

Our stay at the house was incredible. We went with 3 adults and 3 small kids and a dog. The location cannot be beat. Within 5 minutes of countless wineries, breweries, and restaurants. Also very close to waterfalls and parks. It was great being able to walk the farm and there is a great spot set up with chairs overlooking the lake which is perfect for sunset. Fred was awesome to communicate with and even set us up to pick cherries a day before opening to the public so the kids could have that experience. We loved it here and would go back

Cozy house and beautiful views

We had such a wonderful time at the Finger Lakes Farm Retreat. The house is cozy and had all the space we needed for a family of 5 and 2 dogs. The house is so well thought out. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials you need. The location is perfect. Close to so many wineries, breweries, restaurants and amazing hiking. The farm is beautiful. Our whole family loved it here and can’t wait to come back!

A wonderful house

You will not be disappointed with this rental. The description is spot on and as a seasoned house renter I appreciate the accuracy. The location is quite convenient to a ton of area well known AND less familiar attractions. We will return to this one!

Wonderful Girls trip

My two best friends and I decided the Fingerlakes would be a wonderful place for girls trip. This home was an amazing escape. The place was very clean, there were many amenities in the kitchen and bathroom. We were able to do laundry and make food easily. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets. The living room was perfect for relaxing and planning our days. Would gladly come back and hope to next year!

Fabulous home in beautiful location

Very comfortable well-equipped property. This lovely home had everything for an 8 day stay with a great kitchen full of mugs, glasses, plates, pots, pans, cutlery - everything you would need. A walk down through the vineyard to the 6 chairs provided excellent sunset views (with a bonus of a spectacular view of the Aurora Borealis). Within walking distance to a few wineries and just 12 minutes drive from Watkins Glen. Lots of towels and bathroom amenities provided with a washing machine and dryer located adjacent on the upstairs landing. As there were just 2 of us, we only used the main queen bed which was very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Loved it! It is a 1940s farmhouse, beautifully situated in the wine country, beautifully updated and nicely appointed. Nice grounds, feeling of being "away from it all". We will stay here again!!

Pleasant stay

This is a great place to stay. It is adjacent to many wineries and close to walkins glen which has many restaurants and a wonderful state park to hike. The kitchen is well stalked, bath towels plentiful, and they even had soap and shampoo provided. The beds are also nice with each of the room having there own window air conditioner/fan. The one bathroom is a challenge, but we knew that going in! A real charming property with no complaints. The house adjacent to the rental is occupied, but we never saw them.

Wonderful little house!

Stayed here for a week with my family and I would highly recommend this as a retreat. House was exceptionally clean, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Host also left a local bottle of wine, which was very thoughtful! Host owns a farm stand within a minute's walk from the house and we had fresh peaches every day. Loved it. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating other than a 5 star rating is because 1. It advertises that vineyards are within walking distance of the house. This isn't quite correct. It would be a long walk on a main rural road. Not hugely safe to walk, I'd say. 2. It's not clear from the pictures that there's a house next door. While the neighbors were lovely, we weren't expecting to be so close to another house. Also, note, it's a small house; rather cozy! If you know what to expect, though, this is a wonderful place to stay. Very quiet. Beautiful scenery and views of the vineyards. Close to great places to eat and try different wines. Can also use as a base to local state parks...which are amazing! Would definitely recommend.
