About this house rental

Beautiful vacation rental on the Lake Seneca Scenic Bypass!

Come stay in the prettiest house on the wine trail, it will be love at first sight! Gathering Hill Farm will be the place you want to return to every year to explore the gorgeous Finger Lakes, experience the amazing wines and food of this magic area, attend events at Cornell and Ithaca College or just relax. Any time of year the distant views of Seneca lake from the front porch or surrounding 8 acres of fields and woods will offer a retreat from the everyday. Located in the heart of the region, directly on the wine trail and a easy drive to Ithaca, Geneva and 7 mins to Watkins Glen, you will be welcomed into this warm community with a local team to help you settle in.

The home is a gracious 5 bedroom, 3 bath property with outdoor living space and a barn for entertaining options. Comfortably furnished with everything you might need for a small or large group, you'll enjoy the well equipped kitchen, sunny breakfast room, large dining room and open living areas with a wood burning stove and separate family room for tv and games. The house comfortably sleeps 13 in beds, with options for more if needed. There is a ground floor bedroom and full bathroom for any guest who prefers no stairs, with the rest of the bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor, one with a tub/shower combo. We have a locally made body wash, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom to make your packing list a bit lighter.

The home was built in 1816 and has all the charm of an old house with all the comforts you expect from a upscale rental. All new bedding and Caspar mattresses in every bedroom ensure a good nights sleep. High speed internet will keep you connected and be sure to check the website for updates on local happenings you won't want to miss.

Gathering Hill Farm and grounds are available for weddings and events, please discuss with Nicole for rates.

The house was perfect for our family reunion - group of 12. Charming, clean, updated historic home with everything we could have possibly needed. Wonderful outdoor spaces for relaxing, grilling, eating, and roasting marshmallows around the campfire. Communication with Nicole was excellent. Great location 10 minutes from activities and shops in Watkins Glen.

My two siblings, their spouses and 4 children, our parents, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully decorated and spacious home. Breakfasts at the big kitchen table, cookouts on the back patio, lawn games in the back yard, and kids' after-dinner theatrical performances with the front porch as a candlelit stage made for a rare and memorable whole-family gathering. The beds were amazing, everyone was very comfortable and able to get their own space when desired. And I loved the artistic touches. To bicycle, we put the bikes on the car and found some desolate country farm roads not far away. To swim in the lake, we headed to a few different parks. The NY State Parks free parking card was greatly appreciated, and we saw every waterfall in the area! We had a fun daytrip to Ithaca (for lunch at Moosewood and used book and record shopping), especially enjoyed the gorgeous Forge and Damiani wineries, the Hideaway, as well as Two Goats for beer. The views from all of these spots are absolutely breathtaking. Thank you Nicole & Jonathan!

My family and I had a wonderful time at this home. Great location to Watkins Glen and the wineries. The home was well maintained and had tons of space outdoors to enjoy! Would definitely stay here again!

The pictures don’t disappoint. This is a large beautiful antique home. Just bring your suitcase. All the amenities are here and then some. We stayed the whole month of August. The upstairs bedrooms are air conditioned. When the weather turned unseasonably hot, it took one text message and the owner was there with 2 air conditioners for the first floor. The whole house was instantly cool. We enjoyed this home inside and out, celebrated 2 birthdays, enjoyed s’mores around the fire pit, used the grill, played games in the grass. The area offers so much for all ages and we took advantage of it all. Nicole and Jonathan are the perfect hosts.

It was a racing trip, driver and his family, me...the sponsor and one of my associates. House is historic and lovely. Everything was just right for our group. We hung in the kitchen and breakfast area with ALEXA playing the music from the Big Chill.
