Olver Farm Guest House : Park-Like Setting

Combine the tranquility of country living with the wine country experience, and you'll find yourself at Olver Farm. Located on the west side of Cayuga Lake sits this picturesque 50-acre lakeside estate. Staying here provides you full access to 60 feet of your own private lakefront just across the road and down a stone path through a lush grassy yard. Along with cherry orchards, private pond with covered seating, and beautiful shaded lawn alongside a natural creek bed. Spend the day touring nearby wineries on both Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, then find your favorite space on the estate to uncork and unwind.

This quaint two-bedroom guesthouse provides you with all comforts you will need during your stay. Inside you will find a comfortable open living and dining area equipped with an efficiency kitchen which includes cooktop, microwave, full size refrigerator, Keurig coffee pot and tea kettle. The gathering space is plenty large enough to entertain a group of four with lush sofas and large flat screen TV.

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms with Queen-size luxury beds, both with attached private bathrooms including modern showers.

Take full advantage of this one-of-a-kind setting. Start your day with quiet meditation next to the pond or a morning stroll along the countryside overlooking Cayuga Lake. Cool off on a hot day in the crystal waters of Cayuga Lake where your private beach is complete with Adirondack chairs and a firepit for watching the stars reflect off the evening lake.

Exploring Finger Lakes wine country couldn't be easier than from this location. Within 10 miles you have access to a dozen award-winning wineries including Hosmer, Thirsty Owl, Knapp, and the infamous Three Brothers Winery and Brewery. For any history buffs, Seneca Falls is also a short drive to frequent the Women's Rights National Historical Park or the inspiration location of the iconic It's a Wonderful Life movie and annual festival.

Clean home, beautiful property
We enjoyed our late August stay in the Finger Lakes Region. The location was great for visiting Watkins Glen State Park, Ithaca, and Corning. The property is beautiful overlooking the lake. Lots of places to sit outside. The home was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed.

Great Fall weekend
My wife and I enjoyed a weekend trip in the Finger Lakes. The guest house was perfect for our late fall trip. Very convenient to popular wineries and not to far to Ithaca, Watkins Glen and Geneva. The guest house was very clean and updated with all modern conveniences. The property was very quiet and we hope to make many more trips here in the future.

Cool and comfy in the Finger Lakes
This home is clean and very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful grounds. Traffic on road is pretty risky for walking to wineries, at least for us ladies. Be aware that the attached house creates some noise. (T.V and talking). Overall we had a great time.

Complete and total relaxation
Wonderful property! Completely updated and well appointed. Beautiful property (cherry trees, quiet meadow, grassy fields, yet right across the street from Cayuga Lake with private beach access). Owners are the friendliest, sweetest people and live on property, but across the street so never felt any intrusion. Attention paid to every detail inside and outside. Highly recommend this property.

Don’t hesitate, book here now!
First of all, Lisa and Neil are amazing and extremely nice hosts! You go through their property manager to book, but they live near by and ensure there are no issues with your stay! The property is amazing! The guest house itself is spacious and uses the space so well. The rooms are big, bathrooms in each. The scenery on property is amazing enough, but then venture down to your private lake front area and experience peace and relaxation on beautiful Cayuga Lake! One other note, we lost power the first night due to weather and a whole house generator kicked on!! What a perk! The owners still stopped by to make sure we were good as they didn’t even have power in their own cottage! Don’t think about it, book now! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you again Lisa and Neil!
