Yost House in the Finger Lakes - Wine, Views, Peace, and wide-open skies!
Escape to the Yost House, your own private sanctuary nestled in the heart of New York's breathtaking Finger Lakes region. Tucked between the two largest lakes — Seneca and Cayuga — this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat sits on 2 acres of peaceful land, surrounded by working Amish and local family farms that give it an authenticity you simply can't manufacture. Wake up to jaw-dropping sunrises, unwind with golden-hour sunsets, and end your evenings gathered around the fire pit under a canopy of stars. With no city lights to compete, the night sky here is truly something special. Your Home Away From Home The Yost House comfortably sleeps four guests with two full bedrooms and two full bathrooms, privately placed on either end of the home.. The nicely furnished kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals, and when the weather calls for it, take dining outside to your private deck, complete with a full outdoor dining table and seating for four. After a day of exploring, toss a load in the in-unit washer and dryer and settle in — you have everything you need right here. Wine Lovers, You're Home! You're just 1.5 miles from your first pour, sitting in the heart of one of the East Coast's most celebrated wine regions. Spend your days hopping between world-class wineries and your evenings toasting the sunset from your own backyard. Perfectly Located The Yost House puts you within easy reach of some of the Finger Lakes' most beloved towns and destinations: 🍷 Geneva, Waterloo, Romulus & Sheldrake — charming towns and wineries in every direction 🎭 Trumansburg & Ithaca — arts, dining, and the vibrant energy of a college town 🏛️ Seneca Falls — home of the Women's Rights National Historical Park & National Women's Hall of Fame 🌊 Watkins Glen — world-famous gorge, waterfalls, and state park Adventure Awaits 🌲 Multiple state parks just minutes from your door 🥾 Hiking and biking trails for all skill levels 💧 Stunning waterfalls tucked throughout the region 🔭 Some of the best stargazing in New York State Gather Around the Fire After a day of exploring, come home to the Yost House and light up the fire pit. There's nothing quite like an evening under the stars with good company, a glass of local wine, and the peaceful sounds of farm country all around you.

The place was very comfortable and quiet with a back porch looking out onto the beautiful farmlands. The location been Seneca and Cayuga Lakes made it perfect for all the activities the region had to offer. It was wonderful!
Beautiful views and a great stay! Dawn was an awesome host, her house had all the amenities you could need, it was super clean and cozy! We loved watching the amazing sunrise each morning on the back deck, not to mention the bed was super comfortable and we were able to get a great nights rest! I would highly recommend this stay if your looking for a cozy country quite get away in the finger lakes!!
Dawn’s place was in a beautiful area with convenient access to the finger lakes. We went to visit wineries and everything was less than 30 minutes away.
The house was clean and well stocked, minus some toiletries. The beds were very comfortable. Parking and check in were super easy, and Dawn was very responsive!
My stay was very nice. The house is tucked away in farm land near finger lakes. Inside was very clean and had anything we would need. Ran out of time to enjoy the fire pit perched in front of a very nice view of the countryside. (maybe next time). Overall, was very a nice and hassle free stay at this VRBO location!
Everything about the place was great! Easy check in, house had all the essentials plus a TON of towels, and we loved our sunrise coffee on the back deck. Far enough away from the wine trails but not too far. Highly recommend and we will be returning in the spring.
Wonderful place and jus the right size for our family of three. We used it as a home base for the week as we traveled around the Finger Lakes daily. The house was as described in the listing and had everything we needed. The hosts were great and very communicative.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Our host Dawn was great. Her communication is spot on. She always answers when you reach out. The accommodations were comfortable. We liked that she had a Keurig and she supplied some pods.It was really close to all the wineries. It is a great place to stay.
My husband and I stayed for four nights and found this property to be an excellent value overall. It was comfortable, well outfitted, free of unwanted fragrances or smells, good Wi-Fi, with a terrific HVAC system, great well water and nice pressure for the master shower, in a quiet, peaceful, pastoral setting. Wishes for our next stay are more attention to cleaning all the floors and more than two windows with screens to let fresh air in.
My husband, son and I traveled separately. They arrived a day early and were able to go ahead and check in. Met the host and hostest, very nice people. The house is well stocked and clean. Bonus having access to a washer and dryer. Beautiful setting and perfect location.
If you like out of the way places to stay with beautiful sunrises and sunset, this is it. You'll hear a rooster in the morning along with chickens running around next door. 😀
