Storybook Cottage on FLX wine trail: fire pit & starry skies
Come enjoy a unique 1887 carriage house on 15 acres of meadow ~ situated just minutes from Seneca Lake Wine Trail, and an easy drive to the quaint villages of Watkins Glen (15mins), Trumansburg (15 mins), Ithaca (30mins), & so much more. Experience Lake Life, Gorges, Wineries, Breweries & Artisanal restaurants. Or stay put to enjoy our swimming pond, wildflower meadow trails or star gaze around the fire pit.

It is close to both Seneca and Cayuga Wine trails, Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen International racetrack, the world famous Corning Glass Museum, and dozens of wineries, cafes, and brew pubs.
