About this country house rental
The John Howland Farm is an iconic1840s family farm. We follow strict cleaning protocols and only accept whole house reservations. Your party will be the only guests within the 3000 sq. ft. guest house. The Howland Farm is convenient to Ithaca and Binghamton and 10 minutes from Owego. The well-maintained farm house includes five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, three porches, a formal dining room, and living room.
The upstairs "Butterfly Suite" includes three bedrooms, sitting room with board games, books, and private bath. The 1st floor "Garden Suite" is fully ADA accessible with bedroom, bath, and sitting room. The "Pine Cone Suite" is also ADA accessible with bedroom, bath, and adjacent laundry room.
The large country kitchen has a wood burning fireplace. This is a fine spot to relax in an easy chair with a cup of your favorite hot drink. A double oven, four-burner downdraft electric stove top, dishwasher, large refrigerator/freezer, microwave, Keurig and other appliances make meal preparation and clean up convenient. The house is equipped with wi-fi and a Smart TV. The Roku TV connects to the internet and provides access to popular streaming services. Three porches (one screened) assure a comfortable and relaxing opportunity to look out across the vistas provided by this 200 acre farm any time of the day. There are open fields and woodlands for quiet walks. A trout stream runs through the property. A 0.8 mile uphill hike leads to a cabin in the woods with a screened in porch. Pack a lunch and spend the day at the cabin.
The Greater Binghamton Airport is a 25 minute drive. Elmira Regional Airport is 55 minutes from the farm; Ithaca Tompkins airport is 35 minutes, and the Syracuse airport is an hour and twenty minutes away. Within an easy 40 minute drive of Ithaca, Ithaca College, Cornell and the Finger Lakes, this location makes an ideal base for exploring upstate New York. Owego, a charming small town, is just down the road. A 30 minute drive will get you to Binghamton, a larger city with fine restaurants, a symphony, professional theater as well as a professional opera company.
John is your host and lives nearby, in a separate building on the property. John is available to answer questions via text or call, and help in any other way that would enhance your stay.

The hosts were very welcoming, accommodating and friendly. We had a wonderful stay at the Howland House. The house has everything we could have possibly needed for our stay and was spotless. We are already planning to return for the next family get together!

The country setting is beautiful. The property provides spacious indoor/outdoor living and sleeping accommodations. The kitchen is especially well-stocked with coffee bar, spice cabinet and a variety of cooking and servingware making meal prep easy and convenient. We enjoyed outdoor family time playing cornhole, croquet and football with games for all ages. The property manager is especially attentive for any questions or additional needs.
