About this house rental
Welcome to Pokey Moonshine, a farmhouse reinvented as a vacation rental for your friends and family. Set on 11+ acres in the Finger Lakes, it's ideal for large groups of 8-12 seeking a peaceful retreat with plenty of room to relax and explore. Between the fire pit for stargazing, the deck overlooking the creek, an 8-person spa with dry sauna, a game room, and three distinct lounging spaces, there's something for everyone — and space to spread out.
THE FINGER LAKES AT YOUR DOORSTEP
Surrounded by wineries and cideries, with easy access to the region's best:
Letchworth State Park - 24 miles
Canadice Lake - 11 miles | Hemlock Lake - 11 miles | Honeoye Lake - 17 miles |
Conesus Lake - 18 miles | Canandaigua Lake - 28 miles | Seneca Lake - 62 miles
Rochester Airport (ROC) is 45 miles away and Buffalo (BUF) is 77 miles. You'll want a car to get around. High-speed internet (the fastest available) is included throughout.
SLEEPING FOR 12 — 4 BEDROOMS All linens, hangers, towels are provided.
Bedroom 1 (Master, first floor): King bed, large walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with dual vanities and walk-in shower.
Bedroom 2 (upstairs): Queen bed overlooking the Spa Room and garden, with a couch, built-in desk, and large closet.
Bedroom 3 (upstairs): King bed overlooking the A-Frame Patio, with a large closet, dresser, and built-in desk.
Bedroom 4 (upstairs): Two bunk beds (twin over queen), a large built-in closet, dresser, and built-in desk.
5 BATHROOMS
The master ensuite has dual vanities and a walk-in shower. A powder room sits near the front entrance, and the Spa Room has its own bathroom beside a walk-in shower. Upstairs, one bath has dual vanities and a shower/tub combo, the other a single vanity and walk-in shower. Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and towels are provided throughout.
KITCHEN & DINING
The heart of the home, the fully stocked kitchen has everything you need — stove, microwave, blender, toaster, pots and pans, Keurig, and French press — with an island seating three. It opens directly onto the Boardroom and the sun-drenched dining room, which seats six with extra tables and chairs on hand so the whole group can eat together.
THREE LOUNGING ROOMS, EACH WITH ITS OWN CHARACTER
The Boardroom: A family room with over 10+ board games and card decks, looking into the garden.
The Moonshine Den: Rich, buttery leather sofas just off the kitchen — the spot for cards, a game of Craps, and a nightcap.
The Shrimp Room: A cozy living room with a large flat-screen TV, ready for the big game or a movie, overlooking the A-Frame Patio.
SPA ROOM
Where everyone ends up after a long day: an 8-person hot tub, a hot sauna, and a flat-screen TV, plus an lower sitting area that doubles as a workout space with weights, a yoga mat, and an exercise ball.
GAME ROOM
Get competitive in the cellar with cornhole, ping pong, and air hockey, a flat-screen TV, and a bar with a beer and wine cooler. In warmer weather, carry the games out onto the adjoining patio beneath the A-Frame.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS Explore 11+ acres of fields and woods with a babbling brook and two bridges winding behind the property. Start your morning with coffee on the A-Frame Patio listening to the stream, fire up the propane grill in the gardens, and gather at the massive fire pit for marshmallows, stargazing, and conversation (a starter set of wood is provided).
STAYING COMFORTABLE
Each upstairs bedroom has its own portable AC unit, with fans throughout the house. For natural cooling, open the deck door and the garden-facing doors and keep the screen doors open — the cross breeze cools the house beautifully day and night.
A FEW KIND WORDS FROM RECENT GUESTS
"A true home away from home with all the amenities one could want while on vacation! My family is still raving about the extra-large hot tub and toasty sauna. The owner, Mark, went out of his way to answer questions and provide suggestions for area attractions — a 10 out of 10 vacation location!" - Chris F., April 2026
"This was one of my favorite Airbnb stays, and I have stayed at so many. It was a perfect winter retreat, peaceful and snowy. The spa was so much fun for a girls' weekend and there was so much room to spread out. I would highly recommend this stay!" - Hannah B., January 2026
"This was truly an amazing experience! The home was tremendously more than we even expected. The bride was overjoyed with the entire weekend. I will definitely keep this location in mind for future events!" - Christiana P., June 2026
Please note: the fireplaces are not accessible at this time. A signed rental agreement is required. A $500 refundable security hold is placed 2 days before arrival and released 7 days after departure if no damages are reported. No pets — an unauthorized pet incurs a $500 charge and immediate departure without refund.
A full-size washer and dryer and plenty of free parking round things out.

8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
There were no towels for hot tub. Would have brought some if we knew that there were on going to be 12 bath towels. Dryer making noise and could not dry the wet towels to use. That house was great

Mark was an amazing host and was very attentive during our stay. Pokey Moonshine was the perfect getaway for our group of friends to relax and catch-up. The property is well kept and truly a gem!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
This was an amazing vacation. We were very impressed by the size, the cleanliness, and the comfort of this property. We spent much of our days enjoying nearby hiking, but everyone agreed that we would have been just as happy had we merely stayed at the house. We will definitely be looking at this property again if we ever come back to the region for a future vacation.

The first thing I noticed when searching for a place to stay for our July 4th holiday was the level entry to the house. We were planning a visit to the matriarch of our family, in her mid-90s. Mom has physical restrictions which make stairs very difficult for her. Since having 11 of us for dinner at her house just wouldn't work, it was wonderful to have her able to come for dinner with all of us - twice! That said, the house perfectly met all our needs - every couple/family had a separate sleeping area and plenty of bathrooms for all! The kitchen setup was very manageable and accommodated all of our needs. And three living spaces on the main floor! Togetherness and privacy available as desired! Downstairs, the game area provided some indoor activities that all could enjoy! And in the evenings, the spa offered adult spaces with the hot tub and sauna. We even lowered the hot tub heat our last evening so our pregnant DIL could also enjoy and relax! We grilled one meal out on the patio, and enjoyed the peaceful quiet with the babbling brook nearby. All 11 of us had a lovely time visiting a familiar area close to family at Loon Lake. We certainly would recommend Pokey Moonshine at any time of the year!
