This property is not only amazing and located so close to downtown Geneva, but has an amazing history! This home was built by Robert Troup, a revolutionary war soldier, a judge of the United States District Court for NY, and a Western New York land agent and Manager of the Pulteney Land Office (Next Door). It's noted that Troup was a lifelong friend of Alexander Hamilton and college roommates with both Hamilton and Aaron Burr at Kings College.

This property is perfect for couples, families or friends! Take a trip back in time and visit the beautiful Historic 98!

The Neighborhood:
The house is a 2 minute walk to downtown, which has over 30 bars and restaurants. The property is adjacent to Pulteney Park and only a few blocks from Seneca Lake. Being at the North end of Seneca Lake, it’s the perfect location for a wine tour.

Getting Around:
The nice thing about the location is that you do not need to drive, There’s so much to do within walking distance. However, if you wanted to do a wine trail, I have a few different wine tour companies I can recommend.

Perfect for our family

If you like old houses with character, you will love this house! It’s not only spacious and well decorated, but it was clean and had plenty of furniture for 8 adults. Also, plenty of towels in each bathroom. The kitchen had everything needed to cook and grill. Only spices were salt and pepper. I knew that in advance after reaching out to the host. They only provided 3 pods for laundry so I needed to go to the store for more. One problem we encountered was that the previous tenants didn’t take garbage to the road until check out day which left us with full garbage cans on arrival day. I thought the cleaning crew would have seen that to take care of, but didn’t. I found out later in the week that the host was unaware. In our second morning we woke up to the grounds crew mowing and weed whacking, blowing off the patio which is pretty close to the living room window. I thought we should had been warned in advance. Other than that, it was an amazing house. As far as location, it was perfect walking distance to restaurants, taverns,etc. but don’t expect to find a nice beach to swim. We drove 20 minutes to the State Park. It was disappointing. They have a spray ground in town for the kids, but nothing for adults to speak of. Great wine tasting choices though!!

Lots of space, great location!

The pictures do not do this place justice. We were a little worried it might feel cramped based on the photos but after we arrived all six of us were very impressed by the space. Each of the three couples were able to spread out in different sections of the upstairs and when relaxing downstairs, the multiple rooms for lounging made it feel like we weren't on top of each other but still offered plenty of room for group games. The central location in Geneva was also a huge boon. A short walk for nearby food, and the lake front only a few blocks away made for some good light exercise in the evenings. Monaco's coffee shop is literally across the street and each morning served up a delicious combo of caffeine and light breakfast. We will absolutely look to Historic 98 again when we return to the lakes next.

2 day stay

Wonderfully beautiful place for being so old. Super clean with lots of amenities. Owner was very responsive. Within walking distance to several nice shops and restaurants. Only down side might be the parking if more than 2 vehicles would be accessing the drive. Otherwise, we truly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend!
