Clarke's Cottage on Hidden Pond is a 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath farmhouse situated on 6 1/2 private acres in a peaceful park-like setting. The unassuming exterior blends in to it's country surroundings, while the inside will blow you away! Outside, the new 6 person hot tub looks out over the pond, firepit and grounds.

The entire interior has been and recreated with today’s creature comforts. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen has granite counters, a Viking 6 burner range top, Subzero refrigerator and a center island with seating. There are HDTV flat screen TVs w/cable in the gathering room & the library, as well as high-speed WiFi throughout the house. The library has books & games for your use. Additional 1st floor rooms are the dining area that seats 10, a bedroom with queen bed off of the library, an entry room, the 1st floor half bathroom & a laundry room complete with washer, dryer, ironing board & iron. PLEASE NOTE: NOT SUITABLE FOR WEDDINGS OR RECEPTIONS.

2nd floor: : The 2nd floor features a spacious master suite w/a king sized bed, cathedral ceiling & a walk-in closet. This suite has windows on 3 sides, & a beautiful view of the hidden pond at the back of the house. The attached master bathroom has an over sized whirlpool tub & a very large walk-in shower. From the tub you can look out of the 6 ft picture window into the treetops of huge maples or gaze at the historic red barn while listening to the birds singing sweetly. The large expanse of granite counter has 2 sinks and a vanity area.

On this floor you will also find 3 more bedrooms, 1 w/a king bed, 1 w/a queen & the last w/2 twin beds. There is also a large hall bathroom w/2 sinks & a tub/shower combination.

There are picnic tables & lawn chairs, a gas BBQ, volleyball net & an inflatable raft on site for your enjoyment.

About KC Christopher

Mitch and I moved from Colorado to the beautiful Finger Lakes region to begin another phase of our life together and to be closer to my parents as they are getting older. I grew up in the Buffalo area and Mitch came from the east coast originally, so this was a 'coming back to our roots' move.

After several years of searching in three different states, when we found the Finger Lakes we knew this was the place we had always dreamed of. Our love of water sports, lush green forests and a desire for the peaceful country life made Trumansburg an ideal choice. We found a wonderful historic mansion which we renovated into the Halsey House, a luxury bed and breakfast and we never looked back.

Mitch and I are avid animal lovers, with six exotic parrots and our beloved rescue dog Tess. Renovating these splendid old houses has become our passion and Mitch is certainly developing his woodworking and cabinetmaking skills here.

Someday I hope to get back to my hobby of making quilts, if I could only find the time. When we have the opportunity for a vacation, you will most likely find us in the Caribbean scuba diving.

KC Christopher purchased this house in 2008
Why KC Christopher chose Ithaca

This area of upstate NY is known as the Finger Lakes region, and its micro climate gives us milder winters and much less humid summers than other parts of the state. It also makes for a wonderful place for growing grapes. We are surrounded by wineries and vineyards, sandwiched between the Cayuga Wine Trail and the Seneca Lake Wine Trail.

We have sparkling lakes, over a hundred waterfalls, parks, farmland, forests, quaint villages and small cities. Although we are within a half day's drive from many large cities, we are a world away from the bustle and crowds.

Clarke's Cottage is 15 minutes from Ithaca, where Cornell University and Ithaca College bring culture and a vibrant atmosphere. Restaurant choices abound here, including several who specialize in featuring the bounty of the region's local farms.

The charming city of Watkins Glen is also 15 minutes away, with a park along the shores of Seneca Lake, The Glen racetrack, and the not-to-be-missed Watkins Glen State Park. The stunning beauty of this area is apparent through all four seasons, and you can be as active or as relaxed as you choose.

This modern farmhouse with gourmet kitchen is 15 minutes from Ithaca, NY, home of Cornell University and Ithaca College and hundreds of restaurants. The city of Watkins Glen is also just 15 minutes away, where you can enjoy Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen Race Track and the Finger Lakes Wine Festival.

Under 45 minutes to Canandaigua, Corning Glass Museum, Geneva and Keuka Lake. The house's location offers you the convenient proximity to the best features of the Finger Lakes from a home base in a pastoral setting that is peaceful, private and amazingly rejuvenating

Wow- an outstanding vacation home in an idyllic setting! The pictures do not do it justice. We were in Ithaca for my son's graduation form Cornell, and the house was quite comfortable for the ten of us, including extended family members. KC and Mitch could not be more accomodating-for instance, on our arrival my wife lamented that we forgot to bring up her favorite Poland Spring water. Mitch overheard this, and upon returing to the house w/ a BBQ lighter, promptly set down a large plastic container of Poland Spring! The home was meticulously clean (as we like it), and has all the creature comforts needed including a large flat panel TV. The kitchen was fully stocked w/ all the latest appliances, cookware and dishware. The property is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Ithaca, but easy enough to get there for evenings out. This is simply the way to go, worth every penny!!

Our daughter graduated from Ithaca College so we were looking for a place to stay and celebrate with grandparents and other extended family and Clarke's Cottage fit the bill! The house was clean and well equipped for socializing, cooking and sleeping. The outdoor areas--grill, fire pit, lawn--are great and we were lucky to have cooperative weather for the long-weekend to get maximum use of them (the pond is lovely, but wasn't swimable due to algae). The drive back and forth to Ithaca was easy enough (~15 minutes one way). The kitchen is well equipped and we ate most meals in for up to 15 people and never ran out of refrigerator, stove top, or seating space.

A group of 6 of us just stayed for a long weekend at Clarke's Cottage. The house was super clean, had great amenities and lots of space for our group to hang out. The photos are really accurate and the owners were friendly and helpful. The house is in the country and quiet, but just a short ride away from the Finger Lake wineries and Ithaca where we went to the spa. We enjoyed the hot tub, but the weather didn't cooperate for us to have a fire outside. I'd definetely recommend this property.

My wife and I and two other couples comfortably made Clarke's Cottage our base for three days of exploration of the Finger Lakes region. The house is just 10 miles from both Ithaca and Watkins Glen - perfect for day trips for hiking and wine tasting. The house itself was more than enough room for three or more couples and it was updated throughout. And the hot tub just steps from the house was a great way to end to the day. We all agreed that we'd stay here again.

Perfection!!

If you need a few days away and want to visit the wine country in the Finger Lakes, this is a perfect place to stay. This five bedroom large home has it all. We and four other couples decided to share a large rental home rather than stay at a local hotel so that we could enjoy each others company after our winery visits. We cooked breakfast in the incredible kitchen that was so stocked up with dishes, glasses, pots pans and anything else you would need. Two separate living rooms was perfect especially since the Ryder Cup was a must for the men, and some ladies were not really interested. Bedrooms were large and the beds especially comfy. The added touch was the firepit and hot tub on the crisp evening. Nothing like sitting around watching the deer come down to the pond for a drink. I cannot think of one thing to complain about with this rental, other than it was so peaceful and quiet and me coming from a rather noisy area it took some getting use to. All of us couples loved the house and the area. Would love to return some day.
