About this property

Welcome to our home, The Hector Homestead!

This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s our sanctuary, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Nestled on two peaceful acres in the heart of the Seneca Wine Trail, this newly remodeled 1920s farmhouse has been our retreat from the busy world, and we hope it can be yours too.

When we first saw the vineyard across the street and the way the sun sets over the hills, we knew this was a special place. Every detail in this home is a reflection of the love we’ve poured into it. Inside, you’ll find three cozy bedrooms, a kitchen equipped for home-cooked meals, and a living area that feels like the perfect spot to unwind. The high-speed Wi-Fi and dedicated workspace mean you can stay connected, whether you’re here for work or pleasure. We’ve also made sure it’s safe and comfortable for families—we’ve installed everything from cordless blinds to outlet covers and a child gate for peace of mind.

Outside, the two fire pits have hosted many nights of storytelling and laughter. The BBQ has served up countless meals on the back patio, and the expansive backyard is our dog’s favorite place. Feel free to enjoy it all—there’s even a disc golf course if you’re up for a bit of fun!

When you're ready to explore, you're in for a treat. We’re close to hiking trails, local wineries, waterfalls, and the beauty of the Finger Lakes. Whether you're here for a quiet weekend, a family getaway, or to work remotely while being surrounded by nature, we’ve set this place up for you to enjoy it as much as we do.

We can’t wait to welcome you into our home. We hope you feel as refreshed and inspired here as we always do. Book your stay now and experience the magic of The Hector Homestead for yourself!
