About this house rental

Situated on 92 acres of farmland, this 3,800 sq ft home boasts unparalleled views of Cayuga Lake and the surrounding landscape. As you pull up the driveway, you are greeted with a 24 acre crop field to your left and 2 large barns on your right, one of which dates back to the mid/late 1800s and the other build in 2020.

The outside of the house offers a large east facing deck that is perfect for a morning cup of coffee or an evening cookout with the family on the new Weber grill. A fire pit is located just off the deck with 12 Adirondack chairs. Plenty of open space for the family to run around and play or relax while playing some yard games (Cornhole, Volleyball/badminton and CanJam are available).

Inside is where the charm of this old farmhouse shines while the recently updated kitchen (including all new GE Cafe appliances) and bathrooms bring new life to this house. A full sized dining room allows guests to enjoy meals with the entire party, while the family room, living room and the study allow some separation if needed. Two staircases grant access to the upstairs where there are 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. All mattresses are brand new and are covered by down-alternative comforters and Pendleton wool blankets (Each room is named after a US National Park and incorporates the matching Pendleton wool print). A common room upstairs is perfect for the kids to enjoy a slumber party together or close the doors and you have 2 separate and private upstairs spaces (bedroom #1, #2, #3 and 1 bathroom on one side with bedroom #4, #5 and 1 bathroom on the other).

Our long weekend in Rob and Heather’s gorgeous farmhouse was wonderful. We visited our daughter who is a student at Cornell to celebrate her birthday and enjoy a get away with family. We are a multigenerational family with grandma at age 85 and the youngest cousin at age 14.The view of lake Cayuga was breathtaking! The house offered a huge dining area to accommodate us all and plenty of space to enjoy each other’s company. The bedrooms were quite comfortable and the views from the windows were well enjoyed. Rob responded very quickly to any question posed. It was a perfect home to relax in a beautiful and peaceful location.

Beautiful home- they thought of everything! The location is perfect for visiting wineries and restaurants and it is an easy drive to Ithaca. We will definitely return!

That moment when you get to the end of the driveway and go check out the view of the lake before even going in the house... The property was everything you hope for and then some. We spent a lot of time around the fire pit, because this is the perfect place for it. 9 people and still rooms to spare. Really enjoyed our stay.

Rob and Heather are great people and go out of their way to make sure you enjoy yourself at their rental property/ farm. They are very hands on.The overall experience was fantastic. We spent over 50% of our time at the property which is a beautiful 80 acre farm setting overlooking Cayuga Lake. We flew kites, played badmitten, slam jam and other games.At night time we grilled out and had bonfires.The bike riding was very nice. We went down the Black Diamond trail one day from Taughannock Falls to Ithaca. There are also lots of country roads where you can safely bike ride.There are well over 50 wineries (the wine was good for regional wines) you could visit although only some were open and for only limited hours due to COVID 19.There are over 100 waterfalls to see (Go to Taughannock, Robert Treiman and Watkins Glen state parks).You should visit Ithaca one day and go on Falls Trail and see Cornell University and possibly botanical gardens.We rented kayaks within 1 mile of our unit.We went lake fishing one day and caught over 10 lake trout.The house is very large with extra rooms (without furniture). You do have to share bathrooms.The only negatives (and they didn't bother us much) is that the place could have been slightly cleaner. We did see a couple of cock roaches. We did have an issue one day with the air conditioner one day (bedroom ceiling fans might help) and another day with the well water supply but Rob fixed both promptly.If you are a close active family with children that likes doing things together this is the place to go.I would love to come back next year but not sure if we will because we like doing different things each year Rob and Heather, thank you for sharing your place with us.Mike and Fran and family
