What We Love
A restful pastoral retreat from the city, the Benton Farmhouse is the perfect place for large families and friend groups to reconnect and reflect with the people who mean the most to you. Spacious, and boasting old-world charm, this beautifully restored historic home radiates an abundance of warmth. Conveniently located on Route 14A in the middle of the Wine region of the Finger Lakes, this home is perfectly located to tour and explore the area. It can also serve as a relaxing base for wedding parties using multiple local wedding venues.
Enjoy cozy movie viewings from the comfort of the spacious living room's soft seating. Engage in some playful competition over a game of chess under the glow of the library's lamps, or any of the many games for all ages in the living room or the huge recreation room. When hunger arises, head for the well-equipped kitchen and play chef amongst the full suite of appliances and ample meal prep space. Serving your dishes will be a breeze at the expansive, formal dining table. After eating, enjoy a night in while playing Ping-Pong in the wood-lined recreation room/TV-watching area. Mix your game nights with delicious concoctions prepared at the recreation room bar.
With six large bedrooms to choose from, rest assured that no one's comfort will go unattended to. Each of the rooms offers soft linens, vintage decor pieces and furniture, and cool air - thanks to the home's partial air-conditioning. Additional interior perks include a private washer/dryer, a high chair, internet access, and office space with a desk and printer in the quiet library. After a couple of front door steps, the lower level of the house has a bathroom and bed available.
Outside, enjoy the country breeze while grilling or sitting in front of the dancing flames in the fire pit. Enormous lawns encourage spirited games of corn hole and badminton, while the large driveway can be set up for pickleball, all of which are supplied.
When exploring the surrounding area, be sure to check out the numerous regional wineries, excellent local restaurants (we can suggest our favorites), charming Penn Yan (“Penn' for the Pennsylvanians and “Yan” for the Yankees who settled the area in the early 1800s), the scenic Finger Lakes, Keuka Lake Outlet trail, Keuka Lake State Park, Finger Lakes Rail Riders (just around the corner), Canandaigua Country Club, or further up the road, Hunt Hollow Ski Club. Don't be surprised if you encounter horse-drawn buggies sharing local roads on your way to Windmill Market just south of Penn Yan, which hosts dozens of shops, produce, and food to enjoy.
