Charming Retreat with Vintage Vibes - Steps to the Erie Canal
Step into a world of character and comfort in this eclectic small-town retreat. This unique older home blends vintage charm with creative, curated style.

Cozy up in the full sized brass bed adorned with organic cotton sheets, spin some vinyl on the record player or take a soak in the vintage clawfoot tub. Wake up to the sound of birds outside your window, sip coffee on the front porch, and spend your days exploring nearby local shops, cafes, and scenic countryside. Whether you're looking for a restful weekend or nostalgic getaway, this home is your cozy base for enjoying the warmth, charm and slower pace of a truly special small town. We hope you enjoy your stay.

This is a jewel box of an apartment, high ceilings, understated and lovely decor, just a few houses from the very cool lift bridge over the Erie Canal. Instructions were very clear for parking and entering the unit. It was a peaceful stay, and a pleasant drive through the countryside to SUNY Brockport. Communication was great with our host, Brooke.

Hi, We are Brooke & Peter your hosts at Charming retreat with vintage vibes! We are both from the area, have moved away and returned to the place that always felt like home.

We enjoy chatting with our guests but also respect your privacy
Why they chose this property
It is a peaceful neighborhood that can be viewed from the giant front porch. The wooded backyard feels like your miles away from town but really it is just steps to downtown. The Erie canal is a special treat for walkers, bikers or even fishing. The Erie Canal is viewable from the front porch as well. It's fun to watch the historical bridge accommodate boats as they travel down the canal waterway during Marine season. The neighborhood is steeped in history - from the architecture of the buildings to the small Cobblestone village just two miles down the road.
What makes this property unique
You can't miss the large front porch with swaying ferns and a charming cupola atop the brick structure. Once inside one could only imagine the grandeur of the home and what it was like in 1839 the year the house was built. The one bedroom apartment is a peaceful retreat from the everyday. With the tall ceilings to the massive arch that welcomes you into the little kitchen area adorned with a large laundry sink & butcher block counter top. The bedroom is a spacious sanctuary with a big brass bed and record player with classic vinyl to surely stimulate feel good endorphins and take you away if even for a moment. Make your way to the attached bathroom where the vintage clawfoot tub awaits you. Take your time to slip in and slip away. You're welcome ;)
