Lovely Farmhouse/Convenient Location

We stayed at the recently recently renovated Farmhouse for a week. Everything in the house was as it had been described. The furnishings were very comfortable, and the supply of kitchen equipment was very generous! The house is convenient to Geneva, NY and Seneca Lake with it's many wineries, and Amish shops, bakeries, farms and creameries! Watkins Glen is an easy 45 minute drive and the scenery was spectacular!

Geneva stay

Downstairs was absolutely adorable. Upstairs was ok. Not enough electrical outlets, tv's didn't work, a small trash can in each bedroom would have been a nice touch. If we come back to Geneva we would stay here again

Work Trip

This is a great place to stay. It was my second stay at this property. We were there for a week the first time, July 2024, and almost 2 weeks this time (Aug/Sep 2024). It lives up to all expectations: clean, uncluttered, well appointed. This is one of the few properties in the area with 1) two full bathrooms, and 2) washer/drier. Host was very fast to respond to me when I had a question.
