Built in 1840 and nestled on two bucolic acres, this beautifully renovated farmhouse is our family home and we'd love to share it with you while we're away. This 6 month lease is available from January 2027 through June 2027 in Lansing, NY. Just 10 minutes from Cornell University and Ithaca's dining, farmers markets, and cultural scene, there is easy access to Finger Lakes hiking, wineries, and skiing.
