About this property

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.

FYI: The Camper is our other rental on the property that you or others in your party might be interested in staying at, if it is available.

NOTE: We are VERY STRICT on no visitors/pets/parties/events/meetings without prior approval! ONLY the number of guests that are booked are allowed on the property. Also, NO smoking of ANY kind is allowed in the camper or near doors or windows! By booking with us, you agree that we reserve the right to charge fees/repair costs associated with you not following the house rules. A $500 flat fee plus $25 per pet/person fee will be assessed, if you are found breaking these rules.

This place was beautiful. It was out of town so it didn’t feel like we were cramped in the city but only 20 minutes from all the food and shopping. We live in the country so it felt like home away from home. Unfortunately my whole family got sick day 2 there so we didn’t get to enjoy the trails.

Amazing
The lodge is well furnished and well stocked. It is beautiful and the grounds are beautiful. It is very peaceful here. A wonderful escape from the city life. And, it's still close to major shopping outlets and towns. The hosts are generous, welcoming you with fresh eggs. They respond immediately to all your questions/needs. I highly recommend you stay here

Secluded and spacious
A very nice lodge on a large property. Probably 1000 feet back from the road it is private and quiet. The owners raise free range chickens that will run happily to you if you decide to feed them. There are fresh eggs in your rental and honey from their bees.

We stayed for a graduation from the University, it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the quiet during a very hectic weekend. The owners have thought of just about everything you could want to do during a country weekend!

Lovely property
We were looking for a clean and restful place for a mini vacation and this place fit the bill. Enjoyed the view, the walk to the waterfalls and the jacuzzi. Needed help to start the pellet stove and the owner came right over and we stayed warm and toasty.

Would definitely stay again!
The lodge was quaint and cozy, the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. It was clean and had everything you could possibly need for a short vacation, including a jacuzzi tub! The surrounding property was gorgeous with several fun and short hikes that we partook in to get out and enjoy the nature. Matt and Kristy were great hosts and helped with anything we needed, including purchasing more free-range eggs! There is also a supermarket just 10 minutes down the road so there is plenty of easy access to food. If you stay here, I would recommend bringing your own pillows, though that is a personal preference, of course. Thank you for such a wonderful stay :)

Fabulous Stay!
Getting away from home with a home that’s the feeling of home is a good thing. The opportunity to walk the trails or buy honey made from their very own bee hive is a nice addition to getting away. It’s also a nice feeling to know that Kristy and Matt were near by than away from the property. So, being away and yet connected was and is a nice thing to have for a relaxing time spent with none other than family.
