The FLX Farmhouse
Say hello to our newest vacation rental in the Finger Lakes, the FLX Farmhouse!
A mid-1940's farmhouse that we renovated from top to bottom to turn it into a modern farmhouse that is both chic and relaxing. This is our largest rental and the one with the most privacy and the most land, consider it your home base for exploration and there's 25 private acres with rustic nature trails for you to wander in!
It is 3 miles from the Schoolhouse and the Micro-Cabins and a little further away from the Seneca Lake Wine Trail but closer to Montour Falls, the Watkins Glen State Park and the Watkins Glen International Racetrack which are only 8-10 miles away.
Traveling with friends and family and need more space? You can also rent out all 4 micro-cabins and our FLX Schoolhouse!
Quick tidbits:
- the farmhouse: Originally a farmhouse built in the mid-1940's, the Farmhouse has loads of character and charm with modern amenities that will make your stay a memorable one. This is our largest rental at 2000 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom.

the location: the Farmhouse is all about privacy and exploring nature in the outdoors. It is very private, you can't see any neighbors, and very quiet. The noises of nature and an occasional car driving by is all that you will hear here. You are a little further away from the Seneca Lake Wine Trail from our other properties (8 miles away vs. 5 miles) but are closer to downtown Montour Falls, the Watkins Glen State Park, and the Watkins Glen International Racetrack. Want to head over to Ithaca or the Cayuga Lake wine trail, it's just a short 30-minute drive.

the morning wake area: we love good coffee and good tea. You will find everything you need for a great cup. Complimentary locally roasted organic beans from Seneca Sunrise Coffee and a fine selection of organic teas are waiting for you.

the bedrooms: when we travel, a cozy bedroom with a comfortable bed is a must for us and that is what you will get here. 2 large bedrooms with a king bed in each and a 3rd smaller bedroom with a queen bed. Each bed is made by Casper, the super comfortable memory foam bed adored by celebrities...and us! Plenty of pillows and warm blankets so you can relax and unwind with ease.
