About this property

The Mission House- located in the Finger Lakes. Hike & bird watch. EV charger.

  • Welcome to The Mission House. Our home is located on a quiet country road in the Finger Lakes Area of Western NY. We are located about 10-15 minutes south of Canandaigua Lake, one hour south of Rochester and about 45 minutes north of Corning. We are centrally located to wineries, breweries, hiking trails, ski resorts (Swain, Bristol), fishing, Canandaigua and Keuka Lake and two state parks (Letchworth and Stony Brook.) It truly is a beautiful area with lots to do!

    At The Mission House, we have trails throughout our wooded property for walking, hiking, and cross country skiing. There is a NYS trout stream on the property. We have a bird feed station, so you can sit on the porch and watch the native birds. If you enjoy nature, this a great place to rest, relax and take in the scenery.

    Our home has Stickley (mission style) furniture throughout.
    There is an open concept main floor with kitchen, living room and dining room.

    The kitchen has all the amenities you would have in your home, including a Keurig, toaster oven, microwave, oven, frig, and dishwasher. There is also a wine frig. Island seating centers the kitchen for conversation and added work space. The dining area is large and inviting. We also have a large covered porch off the kitchen for eating, relaxing after a long hike, watching the birds or just taking in the view. If you prefer to cook outside there is a grill located just off the porch. A work area is located in the central space also.

    There is plenty of seating in the the living room area to visit with friends, cuddle up with a book or watch a movie on our large screened TV.

    There are two large bedrooms available with king sized beds with cotton linens. There are blackout blinds in each of our bedrooms, so you can have a good night's sleep. You will also find two full bathrooms with double sink vanities, large mirrors, large showers and cotton towels.

    We have a firepit with Adirondack chairs for you to enjoy a beautiful evening. Kindling, starter, and fire wood are available for your use.

    Our laundry room has a washer and dryer with space for folding clothing. There is plenty of closet space throughout the house for your clothing storage needs. Our home has central air conditioning and a generator.

    You won't find a better place to kick back, relax and unwind.

The Mission House a peaceful getaway

The Mission House was the perfect getaway for us. We loved the mission style decor as well as the quiet location, the amazing deck where we spent most of our time, watching all the beautiful types of birds at the feeders and the comfortable accommodations! We enjoyed a delightful hike into the woods on the property and saw lots of wildlife along the way! We definitely plan to stay here again.

This property has everything any renter would need while staying away from their home, and more! Such high quality linens, comfortable and relaxing. Outside with nature and connections with the bird watching. Away from crowds but centrally located to many sights! Will recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.

Absolutely beautiful

This home is super clean, updated, and very homey. We cooked a Thanksgiving dinner here, and the owners kindly left us a pan for the turkey. It is a fully stocked kitchen. The bathrooms are gorgeous, and the beds are super comfortable. We loved this hidden gem that is tucked up on a hill with lots of privacy. The bird watching is so calming. I highly recommend this place to stay.

Peaceful and relaxing.

We were attending the annual Grape Festival in Nearby Naples NY. The Hostess Danette was so easy to communicate with . The house was provided with everything one could possibly need . The setting is peaceful and serene. The outside porch was perfect for morning coffee and bird watching. If you enjoy the outdoors And a beautiful setting this is the perfect retreat.

Wonderful VRBO

This is a quality built home with lots of character. The back porch was where we started our day, watching the different colored birds at the feeder and drinking our coffee. Though it's a country feel, it's not too far out in the country. The pictures just do not do it justice because it is a beautiful home. Beds were super comfy. Shower water nice and hot. Everything was superb. Host treated us to a bottle of wine from the Finger Lakes. Think I'll stay there again.

Wonderful Home

The property and home was just perfect. We felt spoiled in this beautiful home with all the amenities. The owners seemed to have thought of everything to make our stay so wonderful. The bird feeder system in the yard was so enjoyable. Each morning we were able to enjoy our coffee while watching the local birds utilize an awesome bird feeder system. We all downloaded a bird finder app on our phones and learned all about the birds Ty for your hospitality!! We had a marvelous time in your beautiful home.

Best VRBO Ever!

This is THE perfect place to stay in the Finger Lakes. It's a quiet setting perfect for some R&R while in close proximity to wine trails, lakes, and great hiking at the house & at 2 nearby state parks. The house is charming - decorated in Mission Style. It is more than well stocked - this house has a professional chef's kitchen including wine fridge & French Press. There's a fire pit perfect for an evening beverage on beautiful nights. Our hosts Danette & Greg are outstanding. They were very responsive to every text & call. They even welcomed us with a chilled bottle of local wine & several cold bottles of water. We're hoping to come back in the autumn. This is truly the best VRBO we have rented. You will not be disappointed.

Truly amazing!!!

This property is STUNNING, inside and out. I don’t even think I can describe it in words, it was beyond expectations. The house is impeccably decorated, completely clean, well furnished. We took a 4.5 hour drive to visit because of a specific winery in the area. Great communication with the owners. The exterior stunned us immediately. We were able to walk the grounds a bit and just found so much peace and tranquillity, we would love to return and explore even more in the future. The kitchen was fully loaded. Living area was cozy. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect. We really enjoyed spending a lot of time on the porch and watching the birds and chipmunks! 11/10!
