This stunning suite blends timeless elegance with modern luxury, offering an unforgettable stay in a setting that feels like stepping into a living piece of art. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the hand-painted Chinoiserie mural, crafted by a Tiffany artist in the 1800s—an exquisite touch that makes dining here feel like a private art gallery experience. The perfect place to launch your next wine tasting group! A Historic Gem in the Heart of Seneca Falls Your reservation includes the entire first floor, front half of the second floor and entire third floor (the back half of the second floor is an entirely separate and private apartment), providing a spacious, private and luxurious experience. Elegant Interior Features: • Expansive parlors with grand windows, period fireplace mantels & intricate moldings • A formal dining room adorned with a hand-painted Tiffany mural • A cozy study nook, perfect for reading or remote work • A spacious kitchen with tin ceilings, modern stainless steel appliances & a stone-topped island • Fast fiber-optic WiFi throughout the home Outdoor Luxury & Relaxation: • Wrap-around porch with charming brackets, climbing roses & clematis • A handcrafted hot tub (seats 6), perfect for a soak under the stars • A custom-built sauna (seats 3-4), ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring Nestled in downtown Seneca Falls, The Gould Swaby Mansion is believed to have inspired the Old Granville House from the holiday classic “It’s A Wonderful Life.” This storied estate once welcomed Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and other notable figures traveling up from the city, making it a residence of both prestige and history. The mansion’s former owner, Amelia Gould Swaby, was a close personal friend of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the pioneering women’s rights activist who helped shape history. Stanton, who authored many of Susan B. Anthony’s speeches, played a key role in bringing the first Women’s Rights Convention to Seneca Falls. Located just across the street from where Alice Paul witnessed the ratification of the 19th Amendment, the mansion sits at the heart of a town steeped in history. And when you’re ready to explore beyond the past, you’ll find yourself just footsteps from the region’s acclaimed wine trails, scenic lakes, and historic landmarks. The mansion sits on a corner lot with a front, side and back yard alongside an old carriage house.
