The large barn behind the house is home to our
"Gentle Giants", registered Belgian horses. Mr. Boston and his ladies
are always happy to visit with our guests as are Dover and NoSé,
our two Australian Cattle dogs.
You may enjoy breakfast served in the dining room or,
in good weather, on the large sunny deck.
Our chickens will supply fresh eggs and possibly a
"cock-a-doodle-doo" wake up call. In season, breakfast may include
farm fresh fruits and
vegetables
such as asparagus, onions, peppers, and pumpkins and apples,
apricots, raspberries, and strawberries.
While enjoying life in the country you will be less than ten minutes from
Geneva,
Hobart/William Smith Colleges,
The New York State Agriculture Experiment Station,
Geneva General Hospital, and the north shore of Seneca Lake.
Geneva has a number of
historic houses, churches, and a lovely historic district.
A short drive will take you to the other Finger Lakes and the
numerous wineries
that surround them. Thirty minutes east is the
Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge,
a must for birders, and public golf courses are near by. The Finger
Lakes area is well known for its farms, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking,
skiing, hunting and antiquing. A large outlet mall is a twenty minute drive
from our bed and breakfast. Watkins Glen, Hammondsport, Rochester and Syracuse
are a forty five minute drive.
