Welcome, Mission Conesus, originally built by Franciscan Catholics. These lands were likely chosen for many reasons. Suffice it to say there is something special here. Come discover for yourself. Lose yourself here, or maybe find yourself, among the Hemlocks. First, a bit about the terrain. There is much in the way of forest, very mature, and a broad array of plant species. Elevation differences are vast, land to the west is uphill for quite a ways, and downhill to the east, to Hemlock lake below, so the world here can feel a bit tilted. We adjoin 150 acres of nature conservancy lands that nobody seems to know about. These lands are for respectful public daytime use. We also adjoin 6600 acres of NY state forest which is public property. Exploring all that is here would take a very long time! Want to get away? Welcome to our little slice of heaven. See the provided map for site locations. Site 1 is open field and is near the pavilion, sites 2 and 3 are along the woods, and site 4 is the most private and tucked into the woods. We looking forward to hosting you, at the mission.

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.

There are several campsites as well as a cozy bed in a cabin that you can stay in. The property used to be an orchard, until most was sold and converted to housing developments. My one acre and a few old cherry trees remains. Both the camping areas and the cabin are in sight of my house. But, there are plenty of areas to choose from. I can supply a fire ring and logs to burn if you are interested. Dogs allowed, as long as they get along with and don’t chase other animals. You must be animal friendly!

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.

“You guys, make sure we’ve packed a lot of sunscreen and our bathingsuits. Yes, we’re going to look like pruney lobster for a weekend.” Darien Lakes State Park is a riparian paradise that’s honed to sharpen your inner aqua (wo)man. Here, you’ll be treated with a plethora of water-loving recreational activities, anything from angling in well-populated creeks to powerboating on Harow Lake’s twelve-acre meniscus. And, nestled within the area’s one-hundred and forty-two campsites are twelve primitive walk-in style sites; all other ones are well-equipped with running-water and electrical outlets. So, by all means, take a step-back from the concrete jungle and embrace all the beach, foliage-laden hiking trails Darien Lake State Park has to offer―your smartphone’s battery will be thanking you.

Ever slumbered in a Lighthouse? Now’s your chance! Head over to Golden Hill State Park and watch the sunset on Lake Ontario right outside your window. This park is not just gorgeous, but also full of ways to pass the time: hiking, boating, fishing, and a tour of the park’s rich history. In addition to the unique option of lighthouse lodging, Golden Hill also offers camping and yurts, most with views of Lake Ontario. The fun doesn’t have to end in the winter, the park offers snowshoeing and 5 miles of snowmobile trails. Come evening, cozy up with a spiked hot chocolate by the fire and watch the sunset. Nothing beats a warm 'n' buzzy nightcap by the lake!

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.
