About this property
Yost House in the Finger Lakes - Wine, Views, Peace, and wide-open skies!
Escape to the Yost House, your own private sanctuary nestled in the heart of New York's breathtaking Finger Lakes region. Tucked between the two largest lakes — Seneca and Cayuga — this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat sits on 2 acres of peaceful land, surrounded by working Amish and local family farms that give it an authenticity you simply can't manufacture. Wake up to jaw-dropping sunrises, unwind with golden-hour sunsets, and end your evenings gathered around the fire pit under a canopy of stars. With no city lights to compete, the night sky here is truly something special. Your Home Away From Home The Yost House comfortably sleeps four guests with two full bedrooms and two full bathrooms, privately placed on either end of the home.. The nicely furnished kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals, and when the weather calls for it, take dining outside to your private deck, complete with a full outdoor dining table and seating for four. After a day of exploring, toss a load in the in-unit washer and dryer and settle in — you have everything you need right here. Wine Lovers, You're Home! You're just 1.5 miles from your first pour, sitting in the heart of one of the East Coast's most celebrated wine regions. Spend your days hopping between world-class wineries and your evenings toasting the sunset from your own backyard. Perfectly Located The Yost House puts you within easy reach of some of the Finger Lakes' most beloved towns and destinations: 🍷 Geneva, Waterloo, Romulus & Sheldrake — charming towns and wineries in every direction 🎭 Trumansburg & Ithaca — arts, dining, and the vibrant energy of a college town 🏛️ Seneca Falls — home of the Women's Rights National Historical Park & National Women's Hall of Fame 🌊 Watkins Glen — world-famous gorge, waterfalls, and state park Adventure Awaits 🌲 Multiple state parks just minutes from your door 🥾 Hiking and biking trails for all skill levels 💧 Stunning waterfalls tucked throughout the region 🔭 Some of the best stargazing in New York State Gather Around the Fire After a day of exploring, come home to the Yost House and light up the fire pit. There's nothing quite like an evening under the stars with good company, a glass of local wine, and the peaceful sounds of farm country all around you. What's Included ✅ Sleeps 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Full Bathrooms ✅ Fully equipped kitchen ✅ Furnished deck with outdoor dining for four ✅ Fire pit ✅ Washer & dryer ✅ High-speed WiFi ✅ 2 private acres A Note About Your Surroundings You're in real farm country here — and that's part of the charm.

About the host
Hosted by Dawn E Carmell
I am beyond grateful to have been raised in this town, growing up surrounded by lakes, waterfalls, gorges, farms, family, and incredible beauty. It is my joy to be able to share this area with travelers seeking to explore the Finger Lakes. An artist friend of mine once shared that the light between these majestic lakes is "special, unique, and different", and I agree. You can see colors that perhaps you've never experienced before!
Why they chose this property
The open space and views over the farm land, the horses and mules, Amish farming, sunrise, sunset, star-gazing, bicycling and easy driving to countless parks, historical places, restaurants, and many, many wineries!
What makes this property unique
Two Bedrooms with queen size beds are located at each either end of the house, each with it's own full bath, offering enhanced privacy. Windows are many, and even rainy days can't obscure the amazing views as you relax in the living room. You have acres of land to wander around, and you can traverse the Nature Walk around the property. Have your coffee as the sun rises and dine on the deck if weather permits.
