Himrod, New York
Morning Dove is a quaint, European-style renovated farmhouse in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Located along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, with a view of Seneca Lake, this cozy little house is a warm and welcoming place to stay during your travels to Upstate NY.
Morning Dove was originally built in the late 1800's but was completely renovated in 2021. We've kept some of the "old world" charm from it's early years....exposed original ceiling joists and other details. Walking in the front door, you'll enter the Living Room area which has an electric fireplace, Frame TV, and glass patio doors that bring in the view of the back yard and the lake in the distance. The doors lead out onto the back deck and the large yard.
From the Living Room, you can enter both the Dining room and the Kitchen. The Dining room has seating for 6, accessibility to the small half bath, and an arched doorway into the large Kitchen area. The Kitchen has custom cabinets built by a look craftsman, a large picture window, in front of the farm house sink, with a view of the lake, and is fully stocked with cookware, bakeware, and dinnerware for 6.
On the second floor you'll find two bedrooms. The Master bedroom has a King size bed, an electric fireplace, and a Frame TV. Bedroom 2 has two Queen beds and a lounge couch. The full bath is located on the second floor and is spacious with a double sink, a walk in shower, and a soaking tub. The soaking tub has a large picture window in front of it, which boasts a fantastic view of Seneca Lake. In the hallway outside the bathroom and Bedroom 2, there is a nook with a desk...a great spot to sit if you have a bit of work to do while vacationing.
The backyard is large and the home has about an acre of greenspace. There is a backyard firepit with Adirondack chairs for enjoying an evening fire, a charcoal grill, and a egg chair swing hanging in the large maple tree. While the home is close to the main road running along Seneca Lake, the backyard feels very private.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway for 2, a family vacation, or a friends weekend together, Morning Dove will feel like your cozy home away from home with it's comfortable furnishings and modern decor. The house is located just 1/4 mile from Seneca Lake and is about halfway between Watkins Glen and Geneva making it the perfect place to have access to Seneca Lake wineries, local small towns, eateries, and other Finger Lakes attractions,

We loved our time at the Morning Dove Villa! After a day exploring the area it was so nice to come back to this beautiful, cozy, comfortable home! Clean, well stocked, very comfortable beds and we loved the shower! I think we're all buying and installing this shower head when we get home....LoL!! We were able to enjoy campfires under the stars and morning coffee on the back deck while watching the beautiful sunrises! We had such a great time and feel very blessed to have enjoyed such a beautiful place on our girlfriend's getaway! Thank you so much!!
Lovely home and location for a long fall weekend of wine tastings, hikes, and local shopping. Very comfortable and clean home centrally located. I call it a home because it certainly felt like home. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
Such a beautiful, charming, and well equipped home with a lovely water view. Easy drive to Watkins Glen. Several wineries nearby. Would definitely recommend.
This house was super clean and cozy... beautifully remodeled and intentionally outfitted. We felt instantly at home! It was a convenient location to stay for our vacation. We enjoyed Watkins Glen, Seneca Lake, and took a day trip out to Letchworth. Thank you!
Every detail of this home has been carefully thought out. The kitchen is lovely with everything you need. So much space and bedrooms are very large. Gorgeous home and perfect central location to all the best wineries. Great communication throughout experience. Highly recommend this home away from home!
My 4 bridesmaids and I stayed at this house for my bachelorette weekend in Seneca Lake. The home was beautiful and so well maintained! The owner communicated with us frequently, and even helped by providing an excellent recommendation for a wine tour service. It was really nice to spend our last night grilling in the back yard, and having s'mores over the fire pit. Everyone loved connecting their music to the bluetooth bathroom speaker while we were getting ready. So fun! You can't go wrong with booking this house for a girls weekend away!

We stayed at this beautiful home and could not have enjoyed it more. Extremely clean; charming farmhouse decor; fully stocked kitchenware. It’s in the perfect location between Watkins Glen and points north, and the Keuka Lake area. Property managers were quickly responsive to our questions. Would love to stay here again!
My family stayed at the Morning Dove Villa for 3 nights to attend a family memorial nearby. The home is beautifully remodeled, clean, and comfortable with many thoughtful details. Our host was very quick to respond to all my questions prior to the trip. We would definitely stay here again!
