This former inn in rural New York State dates back to the 1890s and spent much of its life as a farmhouse. Located on a quiet country road, it sits on a 13-acre estate that's partially wooded, making it perfect for unwinding and playing outside, or equally catching up on work, undisturbed by the bustle of city life.

Put your feet up on the large back porch that looks out across a huge lawn and organic vegetable garden. Better still, pick fresh produce from the garden and rustle up a homecooked meal.

The house itself was recently renovated, with pared-down interiors. It features hardwood floors, custom wall finishes, and light earthy tones. A wood-burning stove in the living room lends itself to good old-fashioned game nights on winter evenings, but lightning fast high-speed internet and RokuTV keeps the historical space connected to the 21st century.

This is a great vacation home rental in New York for up to six guests, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and make the best of this beautiful rural setting. Expect deers to quietly wander by and nibble at the apple trees, and for rabbits, wild turkeys, birds, and some friendly neighborhood pets to say hello. Don't forget to wander the trail through the woods to the owners' sustainable beeyard.
