**Grandeur and Comfort (The Ground Floor)**
From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by 10-foot ceilings,
original built-in cabinetry, and a grand sweeping staircase that anchors the
home.
* **Work and Play:** The ground floor features two spacious, separate entertainment rooms -- one with desk to work at, which is perfect for groups who want space to spread out. Two of the four bedrooms also feature their own televisions, and one of these features its own work area.
* **Dine-in:** No need to eat out with a fully equipped eat-in kitchen and our bright, airy sunroom equipped with a dining set and electric fireplace and radiator to make it suitable for late night dinners. You can also ask our head chef to cook up a dinner for 2 or 10 on-site. July-October, you can also have your own pre-made gourmet Belgian waffles with strawberries, clotted cream, maple or peach syrup. One of the rooms on the second floor also features a private balcony with its own espresso maker.
**Restful Retreats (The Second Floor)**
Each of our four bedrooms offers a distinct personality to suit every
traveler:
* **The Romeo and Juliet:** Features a romantic antique four-poster queen bed and a private balcony a la Romeo and Juliet's famous scene. It’s the perfect spot to share a quiet morning espresso freshly made with its own espresso maker, grinder, and coffee cups for 2. Bed firmness: firm
* **The French Quarter:** Transport yourself to New Orleans in this French Quarter inspired suite complete with a fridge to cool your white wine and tailored for the ultimate night's sleep with a king-sized adjustable firmness mattress —no more compromising on how soft or firm you like your bed!
* **The Dynamic Duo:** A hit for kids (and the young at heart), featuring two full beds, a Smart TV, and some classic board games. Bed Firmness: medium
* **The Executive's Den:** A queen bed paired with a dedicated workspace, a reading chair and lamp, and a shaded window by the desk area so you can see while you work -- for those who need to stay connected while away. Bed firmness: medium/plush
**Not Just Your Ordinary Vacation Rental: Winery Experiences, Yoga Retreats,
College Skills Workshops and More**
From The Great Outdoors, to car racing, to higher ed within minutes, we aren't
just in the Finger Lakes, we're at the center of it all.
* **On-site:** Should you choose to enrich your stay, we offer three unique experiences: first, book yourself the wine experience of a lifetime with a week of daily classes on wine, and tours of local wineries; next, choose to relax and get fit with a week long retreat learning Ashtanga yoga; and last, we offer an intense 8 day pre-college skills workshop with Dr Savage designed for students getting ready for their first year of college. We also have an expert chef on call for gourmet meals. Simply inquire with the host 10 days in advance for our extra amenities.
* **Nearby:** We are minutes from the "Grand Canyon of the East" at Letchworth State Park, Conesus Lake, the high-speed thrills of IHRA Empire Dragway, and the SUNY Geneseo campus with an access point from our location that avoids all the traffic (you will thank us later).
* **A hop, skip and a jump: **Just a little south, less than 20 minutes, are the large swimming pools built into the rocks at Stony Brook State Park, the waterfalls, and since it is located in Dansville home of Balloon Festival, you might also see some hot air balloons in come into view.
* **Stay an extra day** : Within 25–35 minutes, you can head west to reach Darien Lake Amusement Park, east to hit the serene shores of Canadice and Hemlock Lakes, or north to see the coastal attractions of Lake Ontario. Starting at Deer Run Winery, you can keep heading east and see more of the wine country for which we are famous.
* **Paws & Parking**: Your "canine babies" are family here! We are proudly dog-friendly. Plus, our massive circular driveway offers 8 or more parking spaces, easily accommodating boats or RVs.
* **Posh Pubs, Local Friday Fish Fries, Wine and Live Music:** Enjoy the local "Yard of Ale" for some fancy gourmet delicious dishes, at a reasonable price, just minutes from you. "The Barn" and "The Wadsworth Grill" are always a delicious source of diner fare that is above and beyond. And you might even catch some good live music at what locals simply call "the Wads" on a Saturday night. If you are interested in a wine tour, Deer Run Winery is just minutes away on Conesus Lakes, and only a few minutes walk north and on your left, you will find a hidden gem of a micro-brewery called "Dublin's Corners: a Farm Brewery."
