Amish Guest Farmhouse on Seneca Lake Wine Trail, Boasts Gorgeous Lake View

Located on Route 14, Penn Yan, New York, 14527, on the west side of Seneca Lake, the deepest of the Finger Lakes in Upstate New York.

Conveniently located about 12 minutes from both Geneva & Penn Yan on the Seneca Lake wine trail. This property is surrounded by 85 Acres of Beautiful Farmland.

In 2012, the property was purchased by a local horse-and-buggy Mennonite family. The Weaver family and their seven children are working each day to turn this farm and home into a nostalgic haven of rest for the world-weary travelers and for those who long for a more simple life.

While there is WiFi connection in the home, the Weaver family encourages visitors to hike, bike, and enjoy nature. There are herds of deer, friendly small animals, as well as many kinds of birds, and maybe a rare glimpse of a coyote.

With prior permission, visitors may enjoy most of the privacy of the farm's 85 acres, including a creek and gorge.

The farm boasts a spacious front yard that borders Route 14, and the only remaining working railroad in the region. Trains pass slowly once a day, creating a nostalgic twist to days gone by.

Enjoy a show of the morning sunrise or an afternoon picnic, complete with gorgeous lake views, from the spacious side porch.

This home offers a spacious 3,500 square feet, and can easily accommodate approximately 20 people. Enjoy gathering with friends and family in the beautiful wood-finished great room around the cozy fireplace.

The updated kitchen offers enough space to cook a feast, a new six-burner cook-top, double wall oven, stainless steel dishwasher, garbage disposal, large walk-in pantry, microwave, granite countertops and a large stainless steel fridge & freezer.

The Weaver family has been involved in greeting visitors for the past 18 years with the handmade quilts they've designed and sold all over the world. The family currently runs a country store out of the barn located on the property that features their charming homemade Amish quilts, homemade jams & jellies and homegrown vegetables when they're in season. To ensure the comfort and privacy of our guests, vacation rental parking is separate from the rest of the farm.

The home is decorated with local hand-stitched quilts, giving it a cozy old-fashioned feel.

Give us a call to book your dream vacation in the beautiful Finger Lakes!

This farm house is also available and perfect for weddings, reunions, church group retreats, quilting & sewing retreats, picnics and so much more!

Girls wine week end

The house is very spacious and everyone enjoyed it immensely. It brought us back to our childhood memories as we had an aunt with a farmhouse that was similar to this. Loved the store and enjoyed the beauty of the hand made quilts. I’ll definitely stay here again when I plan my next visit.

family reunion

We had a lovely time at the spacious farmhouse, and we enjoyed exploring the property and the surrounding area. Our family hosted an informal anniversary celebration one evening, and the covered porch nicely accommodated our group of about 35 people. Pauline was at the adjacent country store during business hours and was available to answer questions. My young nephews appreciated their cart ride!

Amazong propert, lovely host and had a great time

This was our 1st family vacation and first time to the Finger Lakes. We booked this house due to its size (needing to host 11 peopple, including 3 children and 4 separate families) as well as dogs. The house was amazing and as described. There was several first floor beds. Note my mom uses a walker so 1st floor bedroom was necessary. You can enter the house without any steps though there is a slight step in from the doorway area. The bed was a tad too high for her though a step stool was provided. There are 3 bathrooms each with a shower. The kitchen is large with 2 fridges and plenty of stove and oven space. Note that there are plenty of cooking materials and serving plates but you will need to bring anything past salt and pepper and coffee. This was expected though. There is a very large porch with plenty of extra folding tables and chairs.The property is lovely amd we saw several foxes, deer and groundhog in the field. There is an amazing view of the lake and especially from the upstairs bedrooms.The best part though was definitely Pauline. She was such a kind person and humanized our stay but also gave us the space to enjoy.Thank you so much. Definitely recommend.

Cooke Fest

The Cooke children were raised in Geneva in the 60’s and 70’s. All of the children returned to the area with their children and their children’s children and spent the week at the Weaver Family Farm. The Amish Farmhouse was a perfect location that allowed us to all stay together under one roof. We enjoyed revisiting memories while creating new ones…shopping in Geneva, in Penn Yan, and at the Windmill…pontooning on Seneca Lake…hiking at Watkins Glen…golfing at multiple courses…touring wineries and distilleries.Pauline was a fabulous host, so kind and thoughtful. She made us feel so comfortable that we all looking forward to returning.

Great location for a Thanksgiving gathering

The house was a great meeting point for our travelers from NY, VA and MA. We had 10 adults and two dogs. The house was more than adequate in terms of bedrooms and space. We played games and did puzzles on the folding tables they have there. We brought one of our smaller tvs to watch football and it worked well with the wifi. Kitchen had most everything we needed. For Thanksgiving dinner the two ovens were perfect and the large stove top was appreciated. Pauline was wonderful making us feel welcome and helping out with a few questions. Beautiful location overlooking the lake as well. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This property gives a great first impression. Beautiful home on a well kept lot. This house offers everything, lots of space to spread out, sleeping accommodations for our group of nine, and 3 bathrooms. A wonderful kitchen with everything you need. Paper products, soaps, and laundry available. Very clean house. Pauline welcomed us and saw to it that we lacked for nothing. No televisions, so if there’s a need you can stream. Excellent internet speed.

Great Vacation in Finger Lakes Region

My adult children and four grandchildren enjoyed our stay at the Weaver Farms house. Pauline is an outstanding host and made sure our stay was comfortable. The house easily fit the 10 of us with plenty of room to spare. It was well stocked and had all the amenities of home. Sitting out in the morning overlooking the lake or at night was wonderful as were the grounds where we were able to play games, go for a walk on the trail or pick eggs from the chicken coop. The children ages 3-9 also enjoyed the horse and buggy rides that Pauline offered. There is plenty to do in the area for everyone including parks and swimming to wineries and we also went to the Watkins Glen racetrack to “Drive the Glen”.The Corning Glass Museum is also just about an hour away and was a fun time. Watkins Glen State Park is only 30 minutes away and was amazing. Overall, we had a great vacation and will definitely return!!

We held our rehearsal dinner at the house for roughly 30 people without feeling crammed. The house has a large kitchen and large living areas including a covered porch.

Multi generational get away

The property was beautiful, the old farm house had so much charm it was an Amazing landing spot for our Finger Lake family adventure! The house was full of nooks and cranies, plenty of spaces for all 10 of us to sleep and have our space. The side porch made a great place to gather along with the fire pit. The house was well stocked with supplies, cooking gadgets, plenty of tableware and towels! The kids enjoyed gathering eggs, feeding the chickens, meeting April the horse and a cool buggy ride offered by Mrs. Weaver! The location was perfect and centrally located between the town of Pen Yann and Geneva. The views were great! We would love to stay again if our travels bring us back to the area!!!!

Awesome large Farmhouse overlooking Seneca Lake

Comfortable large home. Kitchen was massive. We cooked all meals during our stay with great family time around the large dining table. Lots to see and do. Amazing waterfalls and hiking. Several brought kayaks and fishing poles. They caught 8 different kinds of fish! Mrs. Weaver, who was our host, came everyday Monday - Saturday and sold quilts and handmade items from area people in a large barn behind the house. Several beautiful quilts were purchased by our family. Fresh eggs were collected by our grandchildren, in the hen house, everyday. Our house was very comfortable for our group of 11. We all enjoyed our family time there so much. Our 11 year old Granddaughter summed it up well about our stay. She said, “I don’t want to go home”! None of us were in a hurry to leave! Thank you to the Weavers!
