Please Read Before Booking:
This is Simple Country Living on the edge of our 50-acre farm. Our home is nearby & I work from home, so I’m available if needed. We offer a private, whole-house stay at a value well below typical hotel pricing.
The property uses private WELL WATER, which is common throughout the area (Including my own house) The water is clean, tested & safe for bathing and cooking.
* Guests may occasionally notice a natural mineral or sulfur scent, especially with hot water. While filtration systems are in place & improvements have been made, it is not always possible to eliminate this entirely & this is normal for the region.
** Guests who are sensitive to mineral or well-water characteristics, or who prefer hotel-style municipal water, may wish to consider a different accommodation. The vast majority of our guests have no issues with the water, which is reflected in our long history of positive reviews. We recommend that all guests bring their own bottled water for drinking.
*** If a guest chooses to cancel their stay upon arrival & requests a refund, any refund will be processed only after the property has been inspected & confirmed to be left in the same condition as at check-in, with all house rules followed. Inspections are conducted during reasonable hours and may take up to 12 hours to complete.

This stay included all the conveniences of home, and more! It’s close to Hammondsport, as well as to local wineries and distilleries. The host was responsive and friendly! I would love to stay again! I highly recommended!
Host was very welcoming. The place was very clean only thing i could suggest is a new couch and kitchen ware be updated . But overall i recommend this host and house.

It was a very nice place to stay. It was clean and quiet . It was a good location.
Great location on Keuka. Cabin had everything that was needed. Joe reached out to make sure our stay was up to our standards and was very responsive with any questions I had. Would definitely stay at his cabin again.
This little cottage has everything one could need for an enjoyable stay in the Finger Lakes region. It is just minutes from Keuka Lake and from Hammondsport, a picturesque village on the lakeshore. Our host was kind enough to recommend a wonderful restaurant (Timberstone Grill).
We had a wonderful visit. The cottage was perfect for the me and my parents. And a great location to the surrounding finger lakes.
The property owners were very responsive to any questions and made the check in and out process so easy. They have Satalite TV and Internet which filled in the gaps after dark. Would stay there again in a heart beat.
The location of this place is perfect your in a nice quiet wooded area but yet there a lot of wineries within 10-15 minutes. We both enjoyed our stay the place was very neat, clean, and had more room then I thought in the pictures, the bathroom was with a nice walk in shower! The host was very helpful, our check in and check out were nice and simple. The host was also excellent with responses and communication. We plan on staying here again!
The rental and location were great for my son and I coming to visit family. The host was very responsive to all of my message and made sure I had no issues entering upon my arrival. Also was good about shoveling snow paths and porches to make our stay safer.
Wonderful stay. Joe is an excellent host and a great guy. He even gave my 4 kids a tour of his adjacent farm. The town of Hammondsport is also a wonderful hidden gem, and the location of the property gives you great access to the surrounding finger lakes area. The cottage is cozy but very clean and comfortable. We had a blast and hope to return in the future.
The property was in a rural neighborhood on a corner lot. It's a solid, simple Amish cottage with everything you could possibly need- even charcoal! The host is very attentive and helped us with pumping up a bike tire and providing an extra skillet. He texted us more than once asking us to let him know if there was anything we needed! Also, the cottage location provided convenient access to many local points of interest. We greatly enjoyed our time there.
My friends and I went on our annual girls trip this year and this was the perfect little property! The host/owner was so incredibly friendly and went over the top to make sure we were comfortable and accounted for. The area is beautiful, and everything was so clean for us when we got there! The only thing that wasn't completely accurate from the online listing was that there was a double murphy bed. It was a small twin bed that was folded on a rolling bed frame in the closet, so if you have 5 adults it might be a bit cozy. Other than that, truly 5 stars all around!
First time visiting the area and loved it. Beautiful place to take in fall foliage and enjoy wineries and distilleries. We enjoyed the village and Keuka lake.
Great location! Super quiet area. Super cute and clean. We loved our stay. Being able to use the grill and the fire pit was really nice. Close to town with a pretty winery within 3 miles. The Host and Owner, Joe, was a breeze to communicate with and made everything super easy. We traveled with our little dog and everything was perfect. We will stay again.
This place was exactly what we needed and the price was perfect for our budget. Me and my wife needed a simple, no-to-low frills place to use as base camp for our vacation. Joe was very available for questions and we were very happy with our stay
