Country Lodge: Hot Tub, Waterfalls, Pond, Hiking, Amazing Views, & Chickens

You will find on our 23 acre homestead farm our beautiful lodge-themed private guest-house. Relax in the indoor jetted tub or the outdoor shared nine-person hot tub, year around. Enjoy the sounds of nature & experience the truly-amazing, gorgeous, & breathtaking views with a rustic country charm that includes waterfalls, walking/hiking trails, chickens & fish you can feed, a pond with boats, an apiary, streams, gardens, fields, woods, & much more nature. We look forward to you staying with us.

Enjoy the country life conveniently a few minutes to US Rt 81 and a 10-15 minute ride to downtown Syracuse. You can be in the big city in no time and partake in all that it has to offer. When you book with us, you have the entire place to yourselves. Park in the front of The Lodge and go around the back right of the building to your own private entrance at the back of the house.

The den includes an armchair, sofa couch, printer, and desk with books and games, to use at your leisure. Sit on the couch or pull it out to sleep on it in front of the electric fireplace and smart TV with included services.

From the entry room you will go up the stairs (can be steep for some) to the second story open floor plan with enough seating for over 17 people. The kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials for your use. In the living room you will find a leather couch that can sleep one, if needed. The views are amazing!

A porta-crib and highchair can be provided upon request.

The private Master Suite has a jetted bathtub, King sized bed, electric space heating fireplace, and smart TV with services.

Going up the spiral staircase (some find this a tight fit) to the open loft, that overlooks the lower level, and sleeps up to five on two queen beds and one single luxury air mattress. The loft also includes a smart TV with services.

We have 30-70 chickens and multiple roosters to protect the flock. Please don't chase or pick up any of the chickens, especially the roosters! Some can be friendly, some are not. They like to start their day early so we provide ear plugs and eye masks if you would like to not be woken up early.

The nine-person shared hot tub is located behind the main house garage. Go under the breezeway between the two houses. Let us know if you would like to use it and we will open it for you and close our house shades for privacy.

You will find our friendly free range chickens strolling the property as well as deer, turkey, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, many types of birds, and other wildlife. Our quaint pond is ready for you to ice skate, swim, and fish, depending on weather and the season - please ask. Feel free to play corn hole, horseshoes, or Frisbee in the back yard, all games are included in your stay. Have a fire in the fire-pit, cook on the grill provided. Play on the playground and jump on the trampoline. Walk or hike the property on our nine groomed trails - please stay on the trail paths. Don't miss a hike to the waterfalls! The regional snowmobile trail runs through our back yard. For an additional fee, we offer honeybee hive tours and can arrange shooting on our private range, with a certified firearms instructor.
