Hobbit Hollow House, a Turn of the Century Colonial Revival Farmhouse

Hobbit Hollow House is a turn of the nineteenth century Colonial Revival farmhouse located in beautiful Skaneateles, NY, the Gateway to the Finger Lakes. Our property offers spectacular views of our own White Birch Vineyards and Skaneateles Lake, known worldwide for its unspoiled beauty. In addition to vineyard and lake views, our guest rooms overlook colorful meadows, rolling hills and Hobbit Hollow Farm's beautiful barn and horse stables.

Hobbit Hollow House features six elegant and comfortable guest rooms, each uniquely appointed with well-crafted furniture and amenities that will make your stay more enjoyable, such as gas fireplaces, private porches and whirlpool tubs. Luxurious beds and linens will ensure a wonderful night's sleep for every guest.

Hobbit Hollow House boasts a fully equipped kitchen and elegant dining room allowing any aspiring chefs in your group to prepare exquisite meals from Finger Lakes sourced ingredients. If cooking isn’t exactly your thing, we can help make arrangements with one of the talented local chefs to prepare unique and delicious meals for your guests in the home. Or if going out on the town is more your speed, the Village of Skaneateles, only a few minutes’ drive from your front door, boasts a selection of many of the Upstate New York’s most acclaimed restaurants .

No matter the season, Hobbit Hollow House beckons you to explore its beauty. Choose from countless fun and exciting activities our area has to offer. Spend a leisurely day touring nearby wineries as well as many other local distilleries and breweries. Enjoy boat tours and dinner cruises on Skaneateles Lake, and visits to local farm stands and markets. Avid or recreational hikers will find a wide range of hiking trail systems only a short drive away, including local state forest trails, Ithaca’s amazing gorges and Letchworth State Park – the Grand Canyon of the East. Or perhaps you want to experience the spectacular annual fall foliage or downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing when the beautiful Central New York landscape is laden with snow.

For days when you prefer to stay at your cozy home away from home, our spacious living areas provide ample space to hang out and enjoy a quiet day of games and reading and our large estate offers opportunities to enjoy walks, have picnics, and otherwise enjoy nature with your family and friends. After exploring everything the Finger Lakes has to offer during the day, spend your evenings with a glass of White Birch Vineyards wine, relaxing on the comfortably appointed porches overlooking Skaneateles Lake as the sun goes down and the crickets and fireflies come out.

Siblings Reunion and Solar Eclipse
Our group of 6 adults stayed at Hobbit Hollow House from April 6th - 9th, 2024. It was a long overdue reunion with my sister and brother and our spouses. We are all in our 70s and we had searched through all of the listings in the NY Finger Lakes region before choosing Hobbit Hollow. For us, the historic style and grandeur of the home was a deciding factor. We were not disappointed! We were very impressed with the overall decor and quality of the furnishings. The rooms are larger than we expected and very nicely appointed. The grounds are great for exploring with great views of the lake. Everything was perfect! We highly recommend Hobbit Hollow House!

A Very Special Historic House
We loved our stay at Hobbit Hollow! With super large rooms to beautiful antiques and carpets, we were a large group and we enjoyed entertaining in this beautiful home. The kitchen was commercial grade and the dining room sat 14, with lovely Wedgwood china and sterling silver. Bedrooms and baths were nicely appointed. They even tastefully decorated for the holiday season.

Family Birthday and holiday celebration
Charming inn and property! Our family including adult 'kids' and grandchildren were thrilled with the home and the surrounds. The stretched out roominess of the inn made it easy to enjoy it and each other, and we used all six bedrooms! We were fortunate to be in town when the Dickens weekends began. We were also lucky to be able to see young people in the corral behind the inn competing in horseback riding and jumping. Lovely sight! The inn has all one needs for a group get-together! And the countryside and the lake are beautiful surroundings.

Great property
We have stayed at this property a couple of times now and really enjoy the home and its surroundings. The house is the perfect size for a group to spread out and have their own space.

Hobbit House
We had a great stay, family came into town for our daughter’s wedding and everyone loved the house. Location was very convenient to downtown Skaneateles and the wedding venue. Olivia was quick to respond to any questions. All bedrooms had individual bathrooms which made it easy for 12 adults to get ready. House is grand, historic and very well maintained. We enjoyed reading about its history and look forward to returning for future gatherings in the area.

Wonderful Property
Hobbit Hollow is a great place for a family gathering. With 6 bedrooms sand baths, a series of gathering rooms, a large dinning room and kitchen, it is ideal for a gathering of family. There is also great outdoor spaces for hiking, eating and cooking outside and enjoying the outdoors. We'd love to do it again.

A lovely house in Skaneateles
The house was lovely and the property, a working farm with lots of green areas was idilic for a family reunion, including a huge dining room table and lots of common areas. The property manager was very friendly and attentive when small issues arose (as they always do.). Would definitely come again.
