FL to NY for a wedding

Our family from Florida either flew or drove up, while those from California and Montana also flew in. Having everyone together in one place made the experience so much more enjoyable because we could spend our limited time together, rather than traveling between hotels.

The perfect place for a getaway

A large group of friends were looking for a weekend away to celebrate a birthday and upcoming wedding. We enjoy the outdoors but now that we are in our 40s sleeping on the ground doesn’t appeal to most of us. This place was perfect, all you need to bring is your food, family, and friends. Really a great combination of nature and comfort.

Great space

Wonderful property for our group 8adults and 4kids 6 and under. There was plenty of toys for the kids, high chairs and crib. Kitchen stocked with plates, glasses, pots, pans and all the utensils you may need. There is an in law suite that could house another 6people if needed plus the main house could probably sleep another 2-3 comfortably. Host was east to communicate with and answered any questions quickly. 5stars, no complaints.

Beautiful peaceful property with everything we needed

This property was amazing! There was plenty of space for our annual family gathering of 15 people - ranging from my 3-year-old grandson to my 84-year-old mother. We loved the large tables for eating together, both inside and outside. Spending time at the "lake" was a great highlight of our time. Something the whole family could enjoy - whether involved in the boating, playing in the sand, or sitting on the dock enjoying the beautiful setting and the fun activity. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed. And all the kid's toys were a great benefit as well! Everyone's opinion was, "This was the best place we have stayed. Let's come here again."

FANTASTIC THANKSGIVING GET TO GETHER

We had one hell of a reunion and enjoyed the Canadian Thanksgiving to the full. The outdoors were breathtaking and the awesome weather added to the fun. The property itself is amazing, the treks around were awesome. The listing description was accurate, the property was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped - you name it and they had it. The owner David was very accommodating and his advise and directions made our weekend total fun. We were sad that it ended, but no complaints. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

AMAZING FAMILY VACATION PLACE

The property was amazing. Quiet rural farm area, yet access to nearby stores. The 10 grandkids loved the pond and swing-set and all of the available toys in the garage and in the house. There was enough space for everyone to be together and yet have separate sleeping space. The provision of sheets, blankets and towels and the well equipped kitchen was a definite bonus. Highly recommend the 6 hour rental of the ATV for adventuring to the pond and beyond. The porch with the swing and comfortable chairs was great for relaxing throughout the day. Great memories were made and are hoping to return for our next gathering.

Great place for a family reunion vacation

Except for inadequate lighting in the kitchen work area and one bad mattress in an upstairs bedroom, this was a wonderful home for three families and a grandma to have a reunion vacation. They really have made excellent provision for families at this place. I think the distance and uphill walk to the pond was a surprise and did not seem to be adequately reviewed in the literature which was our only surprise. Though we had three days of needed rain, we still managed to enjoy this facility to the maximum. Hats off to the manager!

Winterfest

+Twenty of our family just returned from a wonderful weekend at David's home. We call it Winterfest, and it's the first time we've had it here. The fact that there was no snow made no difference! We thoroughly enjoyed this home and the land around it. David was a very attentive host, and all his directions were clear and helpful. There was plenty of room inside for games, meals, conversations, and a talent show. Outside, we delighted in the firepit, and frequent walks to the pond and around the property. Very enjoyable! We'll be back this summer!

Great for family get togethers

This was probably the best house I've ever rented. We had 15 adults and the house never felt cramped. Plenty of space outside and even plenty of space inside when it rained. I would suggest bringing a fan, the first floor was a little stuffy during the day. But we also had humid, sunny weather with rain each day so not the best conditions to get a breeze going with windows open. The house was stocked with literally everything else we could have wanted. There were plenty of dishes, utensils and everything we needed to cook. A beautiful house on a beautiful property, would rent it again in a heartbeat!

Perfect for a family reunion!

This was our second stay at "The Farm" outside of Dansville, NY. The house and grounds are in excellent shape and provide ample space for our extended family. The house is very comfortable. It is evident that the owner, Mr. Ceasar put a lot of thought into the remodeling he did on this property to make it very accomodating for large groups. Our group had young children who enjoyed playing on the swing set and using all the toys in the garage. The adults had a great time driving the six passenger ATV on the trials on the property. Stony Brook State Park is close by and is wonderful for hiking, swimming, and picnicing. If you visit in the summer there are farm markets to buy fresh product. Check out the ice cream stand on the south end of Dansville!

Home away from home

The property is beautiful and the house is a home away from home, very spacious with a large dining area and cozy living area. Furniture and amenities were tasteful and well thought off, including toys and other kid-friendly items, for children. The beds were very comfortable and more than enough space to accommodate our group of 15 members. Everything was very clean and tidy, and all relevant and important instructions like check-in, recycling etc was provided in advance. There were plenty of cookware in different sizes and sufficient cutlery. The pantry was well stocked, although we did not need to use them. The Wi-Fi worked well in the main house, but did not reach the guest house. David was also very prompt to reply to all questions before we made the trip Overall, a spectacular property, and an enjoyable weekend experience.

Family Reunion

Our extended family enjoyed our short stay at this beautiful home. This is a private place and plenty of room to spread out. They had 3 huge refrigerators, several different type coffee makers, all the kitchen appliances you would ever need. A brand new grill that we used to cook out and eat on covered porch. The gas/stove was also brand new. A huge long table was inside and we were able to eat together as a family. There was plenty of room that we all had our private bedrooms. The cousins stayed in the guest house and had a kitchen and a full bath. The place also had air conditioning if needed. The pond was a little ways behind the house where some fishing was done, the property is huge and lots of room for outdoor activities. This was a great weekend and we all enjoyed our time there. Host responds quickly and place is described acurately.

Great place for a big family

We had a wonderful time at this property... It has so many bedrooms that all the adults could sleep separately from their children, a luxury we've never had when renting on VRBO before. All the kids toys were great... And the outside space, including the swing set, was fabulous. The kitchen was nice and stocked with everything we needed (though we were a little amused that the dining table has board room chairs around it). It was too cold to use the pond, but we drove up there and it looked like a great place for summer. We went to nearby Letchworth State Park, which is just gorgeous and totally worth it. There's no phone service, but the wifi worked well, even with multiple devices. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that we had quite the ladybug infestation while we were there. We must have vacuumed up hundreds of them. They didn't really pester us, but it did leave us with the creepy crawlies at times.

Excellent Family Vacation Spot!

This rental had it all - swimming pond (also has decent sized bass and blue gill), woods to explore (We were able to create a great obstacle course up by the pond), ATV with trails (all around the 220 acres), large outdoor fire pit area, level ground for staging games (we held an Olympics event with room for 15 different events around the property), kids swing set visible from the porch, and toys galore! There was a large area for indoor meals which would easily hold 12 adults, 16 if you really like each other. There were two additional tables in close proximity to hold kids and extra members of the group. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with utensils, appliances, dishes, dishwasher, large prep area. The separate ‘guest house’ was great for our group members with young kids who needed some quiet for daily naps and early bedtimes. The porch area was also very comfortable with multiple seating areas and two large picnic tables. The host was excellent - met us for instruction on the ATV use (extra charge but well worth it!), then made himself scarce but responded to questions literally within minutes! If you are looking for an area with lots of places to go for activities or shopping, this is not for you — the closest Walmart and Wegmans are about 17-20 minutes away. We didn’t stray from the property except for groceries but had plenty to keep us busy and entertained the entire week! If you are looking for your own private ‘resort’ that is kid friendly (not full of high end furniture or breakables but definitely full of kids toys, outdoor toys, and even high chairs) and will make both you and your family feel at home, this place is definitely your go-to! We went mid summer but I would also love to visit in the winter for the adventure of it! I was sad to see that our week was already booked for next year - we’ll have a hard time beating this location!

Low stress family vacation

Our family had a wonderful vacation! Glows: The property was huge and beautiful. The swimming pond was clean and full of fish. The fire pit was stacked with wood. The puzzles had all of their prices. There were tons of toys for the young kids. The host communicated clearly and made check in and renting the atv easy. Grows: The house needs AC on the lower floor, one window unit and a fan are not enough to keep a family comfortable on hot, rainy days. The kitchen needs a good deep cleaning, upon arrival I felt the need to wipe things down, especially the main refrigerator. I ended up just laying paper towel down throughout the fridge before we put our food in. There were spiders (harmless thin brown ones) and webs in almost every room ceiling corner. My dad had a really rough time in the master king bed. He said there was a board under a foam pad and he was sore all week. We could not use a lot of water because “there was a drought” and the house runs on spring water, which I get, but it made the vacation less relaxing. My mom also had to fold and put away sheets that had been left in the dryer. (My parents arrived about 45 min early, so maybe that is why they left them, idk.) We paid 300 cash for six hour rental on their six passenger ATV, which was a nice ATV, however we ended up using only about 1 1/2 hours, I think, which kind of made us feel like we had got gypped on renting six hours just because we didn’t have any idea how many hours we would actually need. Overall we had a wonderful stay I just wanted to leave a very honest review because I don’t know if I would’ve picked this house had I known all of the above

Wonderfully relaxing and fun family vacation!

Highly recommend this property for family vacation. The property was exactly as advertised. The main house and guest house slept and fed 14 of us comfortably - wife and I, 3 children and their spouses, and 6 grandchildren. David was very friendly and accommodating. When we left the property my grandson had hidden the remote and David was very understanding - hope he found the remote! Oldest daughter, husband, and teenager stayed in the guest house (one bed unused). Their pre-teen slept in the downstairs bedroom of the main house (she didn't want to sleep in same room with her sister - could have seen that one coming!) The other two couples and their small children slept in two bedrooms upstairs. The eight year old loved the small attached bedroom to her mom and dad's room. Grandma and I slept in the master bedroom. Two other beds were still available upstairs with a crib in the master. I believe that a sofa bed was in the living room - their is your 20! Plenty of room. We ate all meals either in the spacious kitchen or the outdoor picnic tables - two large for adults/teens and small one for the children. We grilled several meals. I strongly encourage renting the 6 passenger ATV. The pond is several hundred yards up a steep hill. All loved the pond and several of the days were spent up their swimming, diving off the dock, canoeing or enjoying the beach toys. What a blast! The ATV helped hauling people and making beer runs. Likewise, when Grandma and I needed peace and quiet, we would jump in the ATV and make a run around this large property filled with berry bushes (picked some) and fruit trees (wrong time of year). Feral cats on property but no bother except when they stole a bag of marshmallows that somebody left out! To explain the solitude and peace, I recall telling friends that I saw two vehicles - tractor traveling up road in morning and back in the evening. Fun watching the cows on same schedule! The surrounding area had very friendly people. Being from city life you forget how nice people can be. Most of our shopping was done at Wegman's in Hornell but some excellent meat at Wilson's Beef Farm. Several fruit and vegetable stands along road but we found Wegman's to be fresh and good value. Hiked at Stony Creek State Park. Couple of pretty waterfalls and inviting swimming hole at entrance. Overall we would love to go back sometime. Our family's favorite vacation - great family time!

Absolute Perfection!

Initial encounter: After pulling into the property, I felt like the pictures didn't do this beautiful property justice. It was absolutely stunning! The covered porch was inviting and very spacious! Entering the house: Upon entering the house mudroom, we took off our shoes and excitedly opened the door to the main house. WOW!!! The first floor was spacious, open, and inviting. There's a cozy den area that you enter into which was perfect for a bit of privacy for some of my guests who needed to make some phone calls during their stay. Beautiful wooden floors. I absolutely loved the kitchen! Plenty of counter space and room on the island counter to prep and prepare food. More than enough room for a large family to sit down comfortably to a family meal. The first floor bathroom was great. Beautiful sink with counter space and a tub/shower. I won't spoil anything here, but there was a surprise that had all of the guests chuckling a bit in this bathroom. It was beautiful though. First floor bedroom was perfect and right next to the bathroom. Second floor: More than enough room! There were 4 rooms upstairs, a children's room attached to one of them being the fourth room. The landing area also had 2 beds that were perfectly tucked in. The bathroom upstairs had a beautiful claw foot tub. Master bedroom was super spacious and had a beautiful view of the backyard which led to the deck. Guest House: There were multiple ways to get to the guest house, which was great. Spacious with two rooms. One room had 3 single beds, one was a trundle which made the fourth bed. The other room had a King bed. Very spacious and cozy! The bathroom had a standing shower. Full kitchen and dining table which was great for my event which was in the backyard. Outside: This is where the magic really happens. Besides the beautiful view in the front of the house, the backyard literally was amazing! Some not too steep hills with a beautiful view of everything. Unfortunately there's not enough room to rave about this gem of a house. I asked for permission to have a small wedding and this place was absolutely perfect! Cannot wait to hopefully come back in the future and enjoy everything we didn't see or do during our stay. This was an absolutely beautiful property that was tucked away yet close to stores to purchase supplies and such. Everything was clean and the rules were clearly written and posted. Cannot thank David enough for hosting this jewel of a house!
