Cozy Farm Stay Near Keuka Lake / No Cleaning Fee / Pet Friendly / Wi-Fi + More!

Welcome to 'A Wise Getaway' Guesthouse
Amish-built 800 sq ft cottage on our private 50-acre farm — No Cleaning Fee!

A peaceful retreat for couples, small families, and your four-legged friends.

Located just 2 miles from Keuka Lake and minutes from the Village of Hammondsport, NY.

Hammondsport was named one of America’s Coolest Small Towns by Budget Travel in 2012 & continues to earn recognition, including a 2025 feature in Country Living as one of the best small lake towns in the U.S.

* Close to award-winning wineries, breweries, NYS hunting land, and Waneta / Lamoka Lakes.

* Handicap accessible

* Pet-friendly — $45 pet fee

* Enjoy a cozy fire pit under a dazzling night sky — perfect for stargazing

* Blazing-fast Wi-Fi – 497 Mbps down / 11.4 Mbps up — ideal for remote work, Zoom calls, and streaming

* Charcoal grill (we supply lighter fluid & briquets)

* ROKU + Premium DirecTV with ALL movie channels (HBO, Showtime, Starz, Cinemax) + various sports packages

* Rated in the Top 5% of homes on "Air-Bnb" with Superhost status, a 4.9 rating, and over 345+ 5-star reviews — so, you can book with confidence!

* 20–30 minutes to Watkins Glen, Penn Yan & Corning

* Farm visits available upon request! Meet our horses, pigs, and chickens.

* Our home runs on clean, tested well water — safe for drinking, bathing, and cooking.

* You may notice a faint natural sulfur smell, especially with hot water.

* In 2022, we installed a water softener and carbon filter to address this.
On June 18, 2025, we added a new component to the system, which has greatly reduced or eliminated the smell.

We like to be upfront so there are no surprises!

Lovely Cottage

The property is lovely. It is spotless, updated (with working TVs/WIFI), in a central location and TRULY handicapped accessible. My mom is getting on in years and has limited mobility. She was comfortable here, as was my 90lb shepherd. Joe is a great host, who is knowledgeable about the area and shared helpful information about local shops etc. We can't wait to come back.

Cozy Cottage

This little cottage has everything one could need for an enjoyable stay in the Finger Lakes region. It is just minutes from Keuka Lake and from Hammondsport, a picturesque village on the lakeshore. Our host was kind enough to recommend a wonderful restaurant (Timberstone Grill).

Wonderful farm, host, lake and town

Wonderful stay. Joe is an excellent host and a great guy. He even gave my 4 kids a tour of his adjacent farm. The town of Hammondsport is also a wonderful hidden gem, and the location of the property gives you great access to the surrounding finger lakes area. The cottage is cozy but very clean and comfortable. We had a blast and hope to return in the future.

We had a wonderful visit. The cottage was perfect for the me and my parents. And a great location to the surrounding finger lakes. The property owners were very responsive to any questions and made the check in and out process so easy. They have Satalite TV and Internet which filled in the gaps after dark. Would stay there again in a heart beat.
