Family Reunion

This is a wonderful place to stay if you are going to that area of upstate New York. It is a beautiful farmhouse on acres of land in a quiet tranquil setting. The house easily accommodated our family of 10 and the kitchen was perfectly set up for home cooking. I would recommend this property to any family visiting this upstate New York area.

Family Vacation

My family stayed at John's property for several days and loved the homey feel and spaciousness it provided the six of us. Lots of spaces outside to just sit and enjoy the peace and plenty of room for each of us inside. It is well maintained, the beds were comfy and lots of room in the kitchen for cooks. A beautiful property and John was a gracious host. We would definitely come back.

Great stay

What a wonderful space for our family to gather. I had communicated with the host prior and asked about baking at the house for our family gathering and she assured me that they had everything necessary. When I arrived I was amazed to see how well outfitted the kitchen was, from a wonderful mixer, to pans, to measuring cups, even flour and spices. This was a lovely surprise. Everything thing you need is at your fingertips!!

Beautiful, comfortable Farmhouse

It was spotless & very comfortable. They had 2 small fridges + an extra Keurig outside of the common kitchen area. There were nice extras placed around for comfort like snacks, toiletries, etc. Owners worked to give us privacy even when we were cooking meals, though. The grounds were beautiful & quiet. Beds were very comfortable & rooms were nice & big. They are almost finished renovating the barn for events - would make gorgeous wedding venue.

Welcoming, accessible and good for the soul

We spent a week at the house bringing our two families together to meet, get to know each other and enjoy time and a meal together. It was accessible for our parents, welcoming of our diversity, great amenities with a stocked kitchen and grill, indoor/outdoor games, beautiful hiking trail and overall comfort with screened porches and separate areas for us to enjoy separate and together time. John is a fabulous host with great storytelling and discussion as an extra bonus and was nearby whenever we asked for anything. We will be back and bringing others with us!

Everything was excellent!

Our group of seven thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this beautiful farm home. It was clean, very well stocked and completely comfortable. Our host, John, was very friendly and informative. We were on motorcycles and rode in six hours of straight cold and rain that day. The screen porch was perfect for all that wet gear, the hot showers felt wonderful, and the laundry facilities were great! How to come back and stay longer! Thanks again! ❤️

A quick getaway

It's a beautiful, big house with a lot of room. It has a lot of very up to date features and conveniences. We were a little surprised there was only one TV, but it does fit the overall aesthetic. The one disappointment was difficulties with internet connection which I suspect was something unavoidable and just coincidental with the timing of our stay. Our two golden retrievers enjoyed the stay as well, but I am sure they would have appreciated if we had taken advantage of more outdoor activities (but one of them is scheduled for surgery and is not allowed to be strenuously active). It is a house that invites togetherness and interaction, but has plenty of room if one would prefer some solitude, instead (like me...I love to read, and sometimes prefer quiet).

Met and exceeded our expectations

Our family of 7 had a wonderful time at the farm. We walked the roads and fields. Hiked to the cabin and built a fire. Played in and around the creek on a 50 degree day in January. Built fires in the fireplace insert every day. Enjoyed the cozy kitchen area and lots of space in the house for games and reading and watching movies together. Played soccer on the lawn. We had a wonderful time. John was helpful and available. We learned a lot about the farm and the area from him. Thank you so much.
