Farmhouse Gem with Gardens, Waterfalls and Orchards

The Farmhouse is an adorable gem! Low key, laid back and well-appointed, this is the perfect place to return to after visiting wineries and trekking through gorges. Sleeps up to 6 people comfortably with plenty of room to eat, relax and play! This property features an orchard and beautiful gardens plus you can walk through the adjacent nature preserve to waterfalls!!! This is a super sweet home that I've put a lot of love into--it was built in the late 1800's (the first on this hill) and before my parents purchased the land in the 1970s a family of fiddle-playin' potato farmers lived here. My sister and I grew up on this land riding horses and climbing through the gorge out back. Now I'm happy to offer it as a home-away-from home to you!! There's plenty of room in the kitchen for folks to work together to make meals or drink wine at the island counter and let your darling chef make it all happen. There are games and art supplies in the dining room cabinet and room to lounge in the living room. The east bedroom has a queen sized bed, the west bedroom has a full size bed. There's a home office area in the west bedroom too--a large desk and comfortable office chair. With fast and reliable wireless internet the Farmhouse Gem makes an excellent work-at-vacation-home location. The living room sofa opens up plus the futon chair converts to a twin bed. The laundry room is a sweet perk so you can get clean after hanging out at Treman State Park or playing in the Anarchy Zone at the Ithaca Children's Garden. And speaking of getting clean--the bathroom has a tub and shower. The Farmhouse is completely yours to enjoy! There's also a private front and back patio. My family home at two other vacation rentals (a yurt and a octagonal tiny home) are also on this property but you'll have to come up the driveway to be in these shared spaces. You're very welcome to walk through the wildflower field (you'll see the octagon) to get to the nature preserve and waterfalls. The Farmhouse is deeply cleaned and thoroughly sanitized 24 hours before check in. During the Covid-19 pandemic the garden and hen house are off-limits but there's plenty of room to enjoy the wildflower field and nature preserve while maintaining distancing requirements.About pets:Pets allowed.Ask first, pet fee applies.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.
