Gorgeous View
The property was private and quiet. Everything we needed was available to us. The view was one of a kind. Lake Erie is way off in the distance where you cannot see waves but the view was out of this world. The brilliant blue of the distant water blended beautifully with the vineyards all around the area where the house is located.

Relaxing and fishing
Once again we enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Homestead House. The location of the house is quiet and relaxing the house itself is very roomy and was very clean and welcoming We will definitely be booking another trip. If fishing is what your there for there are 2 main launches ( Barcelona and North West ) less than 15 min away.

Amazing weekend stay
We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house and property set the mood for a girls wine weekend. The charm of the 1800s house with vineyards, an old barn and tree swing. It's proximity to the wineries, distilleries and lake Erie was amazing. Everything was only minutes away. We can't wait to come back and just escape for another long weekend

Scenic and cozy
This house had everything we needed and more. There was ample space and comfortable seating and beds. I appreciated the supplies in the kitchen like measuring cups, whisk, baking pans etc… and the toys for the kids. The house is nestled within miles and miles of vineyards and there’s a lovely view of Lake Erie (10 mins away) which is enormous! We enjoyed the fire pit too. It was a very nice stay. Thank you!

Great stay!
Great communication! Promptly set up our toddler bed the morning of our arrival. The place is a great old house with plenty of personal touches and well thought out amenities. Right in the middle of a vineyard, it has a great farmhouse atmosphere. Exactly what we were looking for.

This was the first time using a home rental property, and we were thrilled with how everything went. We went in with low expectations and we’re completely surprised with how nice everything was. They even left us a welcoming basket with a loaf of homemade bread and grape jelly. We’ll definitely rent here again.

Exceptional Property and Stay
Many trips to this property and hopefully many many more. I can’t thank the host enough for the outstanding accommodations. If you are traveling to the Ripley/Chautauqua County Region this is the property to stay at or if it is booked try the other property (Concord Acres @ The Vineyard House) down the street which is equally exceptional and under the same ownership. Every time we visit we wish we never had to leave.
