About this space
Mountain Rose Farm is a private horse farm in the Finger Lakes owned by two country-born-&-raised sisters. Located on 92 scenic park-like acres, the farm invites you to take a step back and enjoy the trails through the woods or relax by the secluded pond. Though the farm feels remote, it is only minutes away from many wineries and Keuka Lake. The Guest Cottage offers a cozy space to sit back and enjoy the peaceful quiet. You can even add horseback riding to your stay at Mountain Rose!
The space
Mountain Rose Farm’s Guest Cottage is perfect for two on a peaceful getaway but if you are looking to vacation with friends/family, our larger Loft Studio beside the cottage is also available for rent (subject to availability) and sleeps two as well.
We are located by Mount Washington in a peaceful valley down a dirt country road. The cottage is set back from the road to give you a quiet and private stay bordered by a babbling stream. We offer comfortable accommodations in our fully furnished Guest Cottage, including a kitchen with a glass stovetop, microwave, mini refrigerator/freezer, toaster, coffee maker, cookware, dining set, various spices, etc. Cottage is furnished with a four-poster bed handcrafted from beams out of an old tobacco barn, dining table and chairs, couch, flat-screen TV with Roku, and dresser. A washer and dryer are available for your use located in the bottom of the building (Guest Loft Studio) right beside the cottage. Outdoor space includes a front porch with seating, a stone patio with umbrella table, propane grill, and fire pit. We provide a bundle of firewood for an evening campfire on the stone patio. If needed, more firewood is available on site for $5/bundle.
Enjoy the quiet and relaxing view from the porch and you may even catch sight of the whitetail deer, hawks, wild turkey, and occasional fox who call Mountain Rose their home too. The farm is a dark skies location with incredible stargazing on clear nights as the Milky Way is right overhead!
Guest access
Everything inside the Guest Cottage is for your personal use and you are free to use and enjoy all items and amenities within during your stay. The downstairs garage/workshop of the Loft Studio (building to the immediate left of the cottage) is our personal storage space and any items in there are not to be used unless permission is granted. The washer and dryer are located in this downstairs space and you have access to them. Please note that this washer and dryer is shared with the Loft Studio guests as well. The front porch and stone patio of the Cottage is for your private use, as well as the grill and picnic table. The yard, creek, fish pond, trails are all available for your enjoyment but could be shared with Loft Studio guests. The Loft Studio front porch, grill, and picnic table are for Loft Studio guests only. You are welcome to visit the horses along the fence lines but no one is permitted to enter the pastures or stalls unless one of the staff is present and permission has been granted.

Horseback Riding and Accommodation
In addition to vacation accommodation, we offer hour long horseback trail rides (for ages 8+) around our property if you wish to add this experience to your stay. Trail rides are in addition to your stay ($65/person) and reservations must be made by calling/texting us for a time slot. We also offer private and group horseback riding lessons. More details and contact info to book a trail ride or lesson can be found on our social media pages by the same name. Horse owners are encouraged to bring their own horses! For the horse owner looking for a new place to ride with their horse, we provide pastures, open-air stalls, and great trails for your use on our property and state forest land with trails nearby. Horse accommodation requires a current negative Coggins. A 12x12 stall with bedding and stud-style, personal paddock turnout is available for $30/horse/night, and you are responsible for your stall(s) cleanup. Pasture paddock only is $25/horse/day.
