If you ever experienced, as a kid, going to the country to visit grandparents/aunt or uncles - this is an adventure just like that with dirt (mud puddles and all) driveway (approx. 1100 ft. long). This is a private property of 10 acres of lightly wooded, sloping areas with a pond and a private residence of 2300 sq. ft. which have guest rooms available as a BnB - Book rooms on AirBnB or Booking.com. It is NOT a manicured estate but rather land with mowed rustic trails with a old pond with water critters, bullfrogs, fishes, water spiders, tiny snails. There is an occasional Blue Herring, Wood Ducks and Canadian Geese that stop by as well as other wildlife.

Bought this place 13 yrs ago it was nothing but bare land. I've cleared out an area to camp, play, and enjoy the world. Find this as a good chance to share the outdoors with new ppl. Every year we host a Tree fundraiser called "May We Begin" where we replant as many trees with tree shields as we can raise funds for. Learn more about this land: The feeling of peace is about 1 mile off the road. Pulling into Apple Cove you'll see we've cleared areas for tents and small van style RVs. There is an individual fire pit for each camper, a small rock bottom creek runs through the 15 acres for a nice, relaxing view of the woods. The kids and I set up a swing set, and a spot by the creek to play and splash. Now, New York is a 420 friendly state. Enjoy yourself but please be respectful of others Minutes away from: Letchworth State Park, Silver Lake, Genesee River, Geneseo, Silver Springs MX track, Mt.

Get away from it all on 60 acres of quiet space! You have two options--bring your own tent and camping gear and rough it, or stay in our hand-built cabin with all you need for a couple of nights of pure R&R! Experience zero light pollution at this off the grid cabin or in one of our camping spots. Although the cabin is not hooked up to electric or water, it is equipped with kitchen cabinets, pots and pans and dishes and silverware, drinking and cleaning/cooking water, a pullout bed with sheets and blankets (2 people), a couch that becomes a futon, one more couch and a blowup air mattrees, a dining room table and four chairs, a porch glider, an outhouse, a camp stove, books, a few rechargeable lights (but good to bring your own), kindling and firewood, and is insulated with a stove for winter stays. A fire pit and benches await your nighttime enjoyment of the solitude and stars. We encourage you to walk and experience a true "backwoods" experience, but we will drive you down in our Utility Vehicle if needed. A ping pong table is available in the barn/workshop if people would like to play. We also have pollinator and vegetable gardens and chickens, and we produce maple syrup in the spring. If guests are interested in workshops on carpentry, food preservation, foraging, gardening, bread baking, and kombucha-brewing, they should let us know a WEEK in ADVANCE. We also offer spiritual direction and Enneagram exploration/typing conversations. This experience can be as solitary as a guest would like, or guests can also experience the gift of connecting with others in community.

Experience the charm of yesteryear with our reproduction 1860's canvas tents, situated on a historic family farm. While the farm is no longer operational, the majestic old apple trees are a highlight, boasting beautiful blossoms in spring and emitting a delightful aroma in autumn. Natural springs dot the landscape, creating picturesque creeks and rivulets throughout the property. Conveniently located approximately 45 minutes from Letchworth State Park, 15 minutes from Six Flags Darien Lake Theme Park, and about 20 minutes from Batavia and Warsaw, our farm offers easy access to a variety of attractions. Just 5 minutes away in the Village of Attica, you'll find a large park featuring a walking path, expansive playground, dog park, basketball court, splash pad, and pavilions. Our property features a sprawling open field at the base of a gentle hill, with additional farm fields and acres of woods atop the hill. The campsites are nestled along the edge of a hedgerow and into a wooded walking path, providing shelter from the wind. For your convenience, two port-a-johns are located within walking distance of the tents, and we supply fire pits and firewood. During your stay, you'll likely interact with Stephen, our primary host. Allison may also be available, and you might even receive a surprise visit from Stephen's father, who owns the farmland surrounding the campsites.

Weekend Trip to Secluded and private Country Cabin

Gorgeous and meticulously maintained property complemented by 2 top notch hosts Mary and David. The time and care given to this beautiful property is evident as soon as you pull into the driveway. From the driveway to the creek you’re surrounded by beauty in every direction you look. The cabin is clean, cozy, and the perfect place to lay your head after a long day exploring and relaxing in the creek. David and Mary are some of the most kind, caring, genuine, salt of the earth people you will ever meet. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. You couldn’t ask for a nicer property or better first class hospitality. The conversations with David and Mary were like I was talking with some old friends I hadn’t seen in a while even though we’d just met. There’s no doubt I’ll be back to this hidden gem. Thank you Mary and David for an amazing stay and thanks again to Mary for the delicious chocolate chip cookies for the ride home

The cabin on Mary's land was excellent! Mary and David are kind, courteous, and helpful. Plenty of land and water for walking, stargazing, fishing, cooling off, and washing. 10/10 would recommend!

4 nights at Secluded and private Country Cabin

I stayed here from July 11 to July 15, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything I needed. Anytime I had a question or needed assistance, they were there right away, which made the stay feel stress-free and comfortable. The property itself was peaceful and relaxing, with a beautiful river and a nice creek that added to the charm of the stay. Everything was well-kept, and you can tell the hosts really care about making sure their guests have a great experience. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a friendly, comfortable, and enjoyable stay.

Weekend Trip to Apple Cove Farm

Me and my group went on a really rainy 3 day span, we ended up being the only ones camping there, James upgraded us to a better spot in the camp site which was awesome! James was very accommodating and helpful to us throughout our time there! Very beautiful land and a decent amount of places to explore!

Weekend Trip to Secluded and private Country Cabin

My son and I just got back from a night's stay at the secluded cabin and it was an absolute delight! Mary and David were wonderful to communicate with and were willing to go above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful trip. The land is gorgeous, with a cute little fishing pond and a creek to explore. The cabin was very private and cozy and we paid the extra $15 for the generator, which powered all of the lights we needed for the evening. (Just a note: even with unplugging everything else being powered, the generator is not enough to work the coffee pot I brought from home, so bring what you need to boil water over the campfire!) The outhouse was only a few yards down a lit path from the cabin and was completely immaculate, with no smell at all, so don't let the lack of indoor plumbing deter you! Even with a first day that was a bit chilly and drizzly, my son and I had a GREAT time and will be back again!
