Windy Hill Cottage | Cottage in Seneca
3 Bedroom Cottage in Seneca
Tranquil views abound at this quaint home overlooking acres of farmland, forest, and a pond! Local legend tells that this charming farm cottage was once a stop on the underground railroad! Cozy up by the fire on a chilly night, or relax on the porch for a stunning glimpse of the sun rising over the forested hills or setting beyond the pond.
This cottage was completely renovated in 2021 with the goal of preserving its local heritage and potential historic significance. Much of the charm of this cottage comes from its quaint size, the locally sourced oak and walnut hardwood floors, and the historic elements preserved inside.
The kitchen, while small, has everything you need to cook/bake your favorite meals. This includes a gas range, pots and pans, cooking utensils, and of course plates, bowls, silverware, and cups. When you're done, a dishwasher simplifies clean up! The antique dining table has chairs for 6 guests and is situated inside of the eat-in kitchen. The coffee and tea station includes a small auto drip coffee maker, french press, and single serve coffee maker, and the electric tea kettle is ready for your next cup of tea. A selection of coffee and tea, as well as sugar packets and creamers, are also available for your stay.
The living room, situated next to the kitchen, features a 43" Roku TV, two couches, and two comfy chairs. Leave the overhead lights on for extra lighting, or use the dimmer on the switch for a more relaxing vibe. On a chilly evening, the gas heating stove in the corner will warm you and provide the ambiance of an indoor fireplace. On a warm day, open windows provide excellent cross ventilation or you can turn on the window mounted air conditioner to really cool the space.
The downstairs also includes one bedroom with a full bed, a bathroom with tub and shower, and a washer and dryer. Upstairs has two more bedrooms; one with a queen bed, and the other with two twins and a desk and chair. All bedrooms include brand-new dressers to store your clothes for longer stays.
Perhaps one of the best parts of your stay will be relaxing on the porch which is perfectly situated to enjoy a stunning sunrise in the morning or the picturesque sunset beyond the pond, cornfields, and forested horizon. The porch also includes a gas grill and a round patio table with chairs.
During the warmer months you'll be greeted each morning by a multitude of singing birds (especially red-winged blackbirds calling from the cattails) and in the evenings a chorus of frogs lining the banks of the pond will announce the coming of the sunset. During the winter, you can cozy up by the fire and enjoy the view of acres of snow covered fields and forest.
While the cottage's role in the underground railroad is difficult to verify, the hand-hewn wooden beams and other architectural features found during renovations confirm its historic quality and suggest that the original house was indeed present in the mid 1800s. Whether or not local lore about the house is true concerning the underground railroad, the house (once marked for demolition) was restored and preserved on the chance that we may call to mind this part of our country's history.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house, private driveway, pond, and surrounding yard. All linens and towels, kitchenware, and food and beverage treats are for our guests to enjoy.
The barn and corn fields located near the house are not included in the stay.
Note: As seen in some of the outdoor pictures, the cottage is situated about 30 feet away from the road. It should be noted that many historic homes were located close to early dirt roads often traveled by horse and carriage. Pavement and cars have changed how we travel, but this location is still brimming with country charm and rural landscapes!
