About this cottage rental

The School House was built in 1922. It has 15 foot high ceilings in both the large sitting room and bedroom. There are large windows in both rooms overlooking beautiful grounds on one side and trees on the other. In winter, deer are at the bedroom window. The grounds offer a Tennis and Pickle Ball court as well as the necessary equipment. It is located on the edge of the Finger Lakes region, close to major roads for Pennsylvania, Ithaca, and New York City. An outstanding getaway, in an elegant setting, with the finest amenities you find in any Relais et Château. A worthy detour.

The Space
There are close to 3 acres of wooded grounds and gardens and a tennis court with night lights. The School House is over 650 square feet, fully air-conditioned with a recently refurbished bathroom. The original 1922 iron tub was deglazed and kitted out with new fittings and a power-head shower. The sitting room is equipped with a large reading collection for your enjoyment. This property can only be booked from this site.

Guest access
There are housekeeping and laundress that can be negotiated privately. An excellent dry cleaning service picks up and delivers Mondays and Thursdays. There are six steps leading to The School House from street parking. There is off-street parking on the grounds as well. Recommendations are available in advance for special requests, food preparation and specially cakes.

I very much enjoyed the quiet location, designated/reserved parking spot, the beautiful garden setting, and architectural charm of this sweet guest house. A comfortable respite during a challenging work week away from home.

This a unique property with very good energy. It is very clean and the bed is comfortable. Jennifer was delightful and brought us wine, cheese, crackers and salami - a wonderful treat to share with our guests. The kitchen was well appointed and we made pancakes and eggs for our family that we visited. All were very interested to see inside the property. I would stay there again in an instant!

This small house feels like a writer's retreat, with greenery all around and a beautiful book-lined room to sit and read in. Lovely place.

This property was very unique. From the first step in to the last step out the owner delivered. From the quality of the bedding/linens to the impeccable WI-FI the experience was "Like No Other"

The property, neighborhood, and overall general area are all absolutely beautiful. Such a comfortable and cozy spot to come back to after visiting Watkins Glen and many other of the must-sees of the area. Definitely a historical piece to the neighborhood of which this property is located which makes it even more special. Jennifer, the host, is just remarkable. Will go out of her way to accommodate your every request and need. We will definitely be back :)

Lovely retreat and good base for the Finger Lakes

This was a truly lovely and quiet property - very well appointed, classily and distinctively decorated, complete with fresh flowers, welcome goodies in the fridge, and basic pantry items. A wall of books made us want to just stay in and read! Lovely walking neighborhood and easy access to Corning and other Finger Lakes attractions - including glider rides from Harris Hill, hiking at Watkins Glen, campus gawking in Ithaca, and a multitude of wineries. Attentive, friendly and fascinating, but never intrusive host! Would return in a heartbeat.
