Guests can enjoy a serene, cozy space with a bathroom that includes a shower. The quaint interior offers thoughtful touches like heating and air conditioning to keep you comfortable year round. Beyond the house, guests are welcome to enjoy the shared farmstay amenities, including a seasonal pool with a high dive and a charming gazebo that is perfect for lounging or getting some work done, with outlets and a comfortable seating area. The farm is a shared space, as it is also our backyard and home to four of our six children and grandchildren, who play and swim outdoors daily between 2–6 p.m. The property is home to friendly horses, goats, rams, pigs, a barn cat, and free-range peacocks and chickens, offering a truly special countryside experience. Nature lovers will appreciate the many nearby trails and waterfalls, with Hammond Hill Forest located just behind the farm. You will also find local wineries close by, and downtown Ithaca is only a 20 minute drive away. Whether you are relaxing on the farm or exploring the Finger Lakes region, this home offers a peaceful and memorable retreat. We hope you enjoy all that our place and Brooktondale have to offer. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool -
