Gorgeous to explore and perfect for family!

If you like old houses this one is a gem to explore with a great mix of old and modern. Our family included grandparents attending SUNY Geneseo graduation. House big enough to have space for alone time and to gather for a meal in the great dining room. Highly recommend!!!

This historic home is a wonderful place for distant friends to meet and catch up. It is very spacious - especially the three bedrooms, and well equipped for cooking, hosting, playing games, or just hanging out. Amy was very responsive to questions and provided great info regarding checkin procedures and guest policies (which were all very reasonable).The rooms are filled with eclectic but tasteful decor - there's a lot to explore just in the house itself! About the only issue we had was that there are no window blinds or curtains, so a couple of rooms got pretty hot when the July sun shone in, but it was easy enough to move to one of the many air-conditioned rooms during those times. There are also a couple small fans present to help keep things cool.

An amazing experience!

We had a wonderful time at Reed's historic home. House and land are beautiful. It is tastefully renovated without destroying the ambiance of an old mansion. House is clean with comfortable beds, there were everything you may need when staying a few days at the vacation house. The owner is very nice and responsive. We loved it!

A step back in time

We really loved this property and hated to leave. The homestead has a long history and sits out in the country in beautiful surroundings. The sunrises and sunsets were colorful. The geese honking in the fields were charming. And the skies, when clear, were full of stars. The bedrooms, all on the second floor, were large and comfortable. We did not use the elegant dining room but felt at home in the back of the house with its comfortable couch and chairs. The eclectic collection of decor throughout the house was most interesting, and it was fun to wander around the house looking at it. It was a very enjoyable stay, and we expect to be coming back real soon!

Fabulous home

What a wonderful home!! The pictures do not do this listing justice. We took this trip to reconnect with old friends. Looking forward to a concert and some wine tasting as well. This home allowed all of the above. We woke and spent our mornings enjoying the beautiful sunrise while having coffee outside on the meticulously groomed back lawn. Returning home after a day of wine tasting relaxing in the spacious living room, reminiscing over old times. The home was spacious and so inviting. What a great weekend from start to finish. The home was stocked with anything you could think of or need. Fresh linens clean towels... the list goes on and on. What a fantastic weekend we had!!! We cannot thank Amy enough for making our time together so memorable and so enjoying!! When we return to the area we would not even consider looking elsewhere for a place to stay!!!

A family gathering

My sisters and I spent a wonderful five days at the Reed Homestead. We are descendants of Philip Reed, who originally built the house in 1803. The home has been carefully restored, updated and beautifully furnished. The large back yard is well maintained and also beautiful. We enjoyed exploring the nearby towns, villages and many lakes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Reed Homestead.

AMAZING!

"A hidden gem" is how we referred to the Homestead during our stay. The property is immaculate and it is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Amy is phenomenal to work with! The extra personal touches were so thoughtful and made us all feel right at home. We were there for my daughter's engagement party and all of the guests just loved the atmosphere and the history of the house. The bedrooms are all gorgeous and so comfortable and cozy. It was the perfect spot for our special occasion!

Right out of a magazine!

It’s a beautiful picturesque home and land right out of a magazine! Love her touch of fresh flowers in every room when we got there. It was very clean. And loved shopping in the little store! Would love to rent it again!

Reed Homestead and the Mission

The Reed House was lovely, immaculately clean, and the owners anticipated our every need. We were there to attend a family wedding at the Barns, so I had relatives from Florida and New Orleans staying with me. They were impressed by the historic look of the house but modernized for comfort. Other family members stayed at the Mission, which they loved. Plenty of room for good parties, music and fun. Korey couldn't have been more hospitable or helpful. We enjoyed our experience in Conesus and Livonia very much.

Wedding Weekend

Great location for our wedding party to relax and unwind before and after the wedding. We had rehearsal dinner for 28 at the homestead outside, and it was the perfect location ,beautiful view , and enough room for everyone. Amy was very helpful with helping scheduling our event and with answering questions.

Great Country Getaway

Beautiful fall stay surrounded by corn fields, farm stands, and changing leaves. House was well stocked and owner was very communicative. We enjoyed the yard with grill and fire pit, as well as ample room inside for our 5 adult guests.

Relaxing Finger Lakes Retreat

Amy’s home is a beautiful mix of modern comfort and history. We especially loved the outdoor space. The house is a great home base to explore the surrounding finger lakes. Would definitely return!

You can’t get a better place to stay for any holiday, but Amy went above and beyond to ensure that our Christmas stay was nothing short of magical! Lovely, comfortable home with lots of charm and a caring hostess.

Tastefully decorated, fully furnished country retreat with lush gardens and wide open surroundings.

Our host was thorough and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our arrival and experience went smoothly. House was very clean and stocked with all the nessessities and then some! It even had a store within that was fun and interesting. We enjoyed cooking meals and dining options in the adjacent living area, the formal dining room and alfresco picnic table outdoors under the trees. The fire pit was fun to warm to at night and make s’mores around. The surroundings offered beautiful views in every direction and hilly walks for exercise. All bathrooms were equipped with everything we needed and the linens were all top notch. We look forward to coming back for future stays!

We all love the quiet, spacious yard & clean and comfortable house. Landlord Amy is so helpful! :-)

The house is lovely and clean. The outdoor fire pit gave us a wonderful evening. The stars are so bright, and so many fireflies makes it dreamlike incredible. Thanks Amy. We’ll highly recommend the house to our friends.

Lovely big old home with charm

We thoroughly enjoyed this home. It has character and the grounds are stunning. We had three adult couples which worked well. The bathroom layout was challenging but manageable, with one upstairs where the bedrooms are and one downstairs. It was a very hot weekend and we were grateful for the air conditioning. There are plenty of supplies and the host is very gracious. The fireflies were delightful.

Beautiful Escape from Everything.

Getting here takes a moment, but when you arrive, you are brought back to the moments in time when appreciation for fresh air, beautiful farming landscapes and endless serenity reigned. The house itself is so charming, from when you step foot through the door, straight to the second floor. And, while the first brick home built in the area way back, this home away offers modern amenities, including Apple TV, should you need it. Second, the house is located in a great area. We explored Letchwood State Park, a magnificent site to see. And, finally, above all else mentioned, Amy is so sweet and very attentive. We can't wait to visit again!

Amazing place for a reunion with friends!

I rented this house to have a little reunion with some friends and it was perfect! The house was absolutely breathtaking and the yard was perfect for relaxing! It was an easy drive from a lot of things, and close enough to Rochester that some people could make a day trip! Amy was great to rent from and I would definitely recommend this house to others!

Fantastic House, Excellent Neighborhood

Staying at Amy's place was the best decision we could have made while attending our friend's wedding nearby at Twin Silos. Amy was in constant communication with us to ask about our stay before, during and after. We felt that she would be available at a moment's notice, if needed. We were made to feel at home and the view from the backyard was peaceful. There is a welcome packet that Amy provided which greatly helped us explore the neighborhood. Wegmans is close by (15 minute drive west) and the lake is even closer. Please note that this house is a historical site and there are a great number of items in the house that are fragile! Everything was just as the pictures showed, and everything was very clean. Amy also gave us some wonderful suggestions for activities and dining options which we greatly appreciated.
