Wonderful place and jus the right size for our family of three. We used it as a home base for the week as we traveled around the Finger Lakes daily. The house was as described in the listing and had everything we needed. The hosts were great and very communicative.

Excellent Value

My husband and I stayed for four nights and found this property to be an excellent value overall. It was comfortable, well outfitted, free of unwanted fragrances or smells, good Wi-Fi, with a terrific HVAC system, great well water and nice pressure for the master shower, in a quiet, peaceful, pastoral setting. Wishes for our next stay are more attention to cleaning all the floors and more than two windows with screens to let fresh air in.

Weekend in the finger lakes

Dawn’s place was in a beautiful area with convenient access to the finger lakes. We went to visit wineries and everything was less than 30 minutes away. The house was clean and well stocked, minus some toiletries. The beds were very comfortable. Parking and check in were super easy, and Dawn was very responsive!

Peaceful getaway near the Finger Lakes

My stay was very nice. The house is tucked away in farm land near finger lakes. Inside was very clean and had anything we would need. Ran out of time to enjoy the fire pit perched in front of a very nice view of the countryside. (maybe next time). Overall, was very a nice and hassle free stay at this VRBO location!

Country Life

If you like out of the way places to stay with beautiful sunrises and sunset, this is it. You'll hear a rooster in the morning along with chickens running around next door. 😀

Everything about the place was great! Easy check in, house had all the essentials plus a TON of towels, and we loved our sunrise coffee on the back deck. Far enough away from the wine trails but not too far. Highly recommend and we will be returning in the spring.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn E Carmell

Host profile image
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.
