About this property

Note: Despite any verbiage added by the listing website, or ads you may see, this is not a whole house. This is a 4-room apartment in the secluded south wing of the historic 1835 Hartford House overlooking our walled garden.

Your private entrance enters off the pool area. There are two bedrooms, a full bath and a kitchenette area. It sleeps three or four with our available rollaway bed. The unit does not have a stove but it has other kitchen appliances including refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and a dining table.

Also on the property is the Genesee Volley Tennis and Croquet club so bring your racket and your tennis shoes to enjoy our Har Tru court. Croquet equipment supplied. After you book, contact us if you are interested in playing in either our club’s tennis or croquet leagues on week days.

We are within the Village of Geneseo, walking distance to downtown and SUNY Geneseo, and a short drive to Conesus lake or Letchworth State Park, or stay home and explore our 70 acre farm teeming with wild life. Pets welcome!

If you need more space there are an additional three units available listed as the Hartford House on this site. The large house is 15,000 ft.² so nobody gets “the whole house.“ (See VRBO # 2336515 to book the other three units or VRBO #2339466 to take all four, including the Garden Suite)

Those who take all four units get exclusive use of the pool area and the front veranda overlooking the Genesee Valley. If you take just this unit you may have to share the pool with other guests.

The property is also available for weddings and events from May to October, however, this unit is the only one that is available year-round. This is also the only unit that allows pets.

About the host

Your host

I am the 6th generation to live in the house built by my great-great-great grandfather, Civil War General James S. Wadsworth. The Hartford House is listed as a National Historic Landmark. Tours of the house can be arranged. The house is home to the recently formed Gen. James S. Wadsworth Institute of History and Geneaology. I am a rabid tennis and croquet player which is why I founded the Genesee Volley Tennis and Croquet Club on the property. When not playing, you can find me working on the farm or at my Main Street print shop.

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal for small weddings, reunions and other family events such as rehearsal dinners or bridal showers. Our (mostly covered) veranda overlooking the Genesee Valley can easily handle a party of 30-50 guests or you can have have the same number barbecue around the in-ground pool. (Gas grill provided!) Thinking bigger? Our walled garden on the south end of the house is an ideal venue for smaller weddings and parties of up to 125 guests, while our larger formal garden can easily accommodate up to 250 guests or more! (Additional charges may apply depending on the size of your event! Note: Weddings and other events are only booked from May 15-Oct. 15.)

What makes this property unique

The property is located in the Village of Geneseo with an easy walk to Downtown. It is a 70 acre park-like property teeming with wildlife, and also has a 5-acre vegetable farm. Hiking opportunities are available, or if you prefer competitive sports, you can use our Har-Tru tennis court or large "golf" croquet court. With proper notice, we can even work you into some doubles matches at our Genesee Volley Tennis & Croquet Club on the property. Tennis and Croquet equipment is available, but you will need flat court shoes to play on the Har-Tru. Sorry, no running shoes allowed.
