Enjoy nearby lake views or relax in the large fenced yard featuring an antique brick patio, fire pit, grill, hammock, and cozy outdoor seating. Flexible late checkout, low cleaning fees, and bonus amenities. An inclusive, welcoming, safe space- come as you are. Pets stay FREE!

The space
Sleeping – Two bedrooms are located on the second floor. The first floor features a full kitchen, fully renovated bathroom, living room (with a queen-size pull-out sofa for additional sleeping), entryway, and dining room.

Occupancy – The home most comfortably sleeps 4 but can accommodate up to 6-8 with the pull out sofa and or air mattress. *Keep in mind, there is only 1 bathroom!

Pets – We are dog-friendly year-round. If you have pet allergies, please plan accordingly. For safety, pets may not be left unattended indoors and must be leashed outside the fenced yard due to nearby Route 414 and neighboring animals. No pet fee; but damages may be charged.

Guest access
Kitchen – Fully stocked with plates, glassware, cutlery & cookware. Includes drip coffee maker, local ground coffee from our friends at Overlook Coffee Company, local eggs, spices & basic snacks. Bonus wet bar with cocktail essentials—buddy system: take a bottle, leave a bottle. Liquor store within walking distance!

Bathroom – Newly renovated and stocked with toilet paper, feminine products, travel-size toothbrushes/toothpaste, washcloths & soap. Linens, towels & blankets provided (towels in bathroom). Brand-new washer/dryer. Please note: this is an older home with only one bathroom.

Parking – Large driveway (road to barn) fits up to 6 vehicles.

Outdoors – Semi private fenced patio off the kitchen for easy pet access. Features picnic table, grill, hammock under the magnolia tree, fire pit with chairs & cozy lit seating. *Please be mindful that there is a fence separating our neighbors on every side, but this is an animal friendly, country neighborhood. There are roaming chickens, cats, neighboring dogs, goats, sheep, etc. If you or your pets do not react well to other animals and the commotion they may bring, this may not be the right stay for you. With love <3

Other things to note
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/RENOVATION NOTES-

This is my permanent home, filled with personal touches, and I’m grateful to share it with guests who love this community as much as I do. I’ve put my heart into creating a welcoming space—please treat it as you would your own.

After taking a few years off to enjoy living here, I’m excited to host again and continue making improvements. This historic home is an ongoing restoration project. Many major updates have been completed (roof, windows, bathroom, siding, fence), with more to come.

I truly appreciate your feedback and your support in this journey. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to host you for your Finger Lakes getaway!

Where I went to school: SUNY Plattsburgh
I am a devoted Finger Lakes local and small business owner. Seneca Lake is an incredible scene to live, play, eat/drink, and explore! I hope that you get to experience all that this area has to offer and feel at home in the spaces I care for! I currently manage 2 vacation rentals in the area, visit our website- Finger Lakes Vacation Care- for more information. When I can sneak away, my partner and I love to camp/explore the FLX and beyond!
