About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
We are a quiet ranch home that sits on 8 acres with firepit, pond and bar.
Newly remodeled ranch home on 8 acres with all the amenities and a pond. We are private and off the beaten path but within a few minutes of restaurants, shopping, grocery and Wolf Run State Park. Salt Fork, Seneca Lake, The Wilds and the Big Muskie bucket are all a few minutes drive as well. The property includes both indoor and outdoor games, pergola by the pond, firepit, grill and outdoor patio with 6 chairs, table and umbrella. We have a recently added playground with a swingset for kids and a sandbox. Inside the home are 2 fully furnished kitchens, laundry room, bar, living and dining room along with a piano. If you are looking for a quiet property to relax with a great view of the stars on a clear evening this is for you.
We do allow dogs for a $35 fee per pet per stay and we also have been renting for weddings. Book your stay for the desired amount of guests staying then its $750 for the venue rental for the day of the wedding.
We will have tables and chairs to rent in the near future as well along with white tent.

We had an amazing stay here. The house and basement is huge. There is basically an apartment downstairs. Everything was decorated beautifully. The lawn and landscaping is so beautiful. The hosts were very responsive. We came from out of state to visit family and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Very conveniently located to town as well.
Great location stay for fishing nearby lakes and also shopping. Jules was a very accommodating host. House was very spacious with lots of amenities. Enjoyed our stay.
My family of 7 had a wonderful weekend getaway at this quiet ranch. Jules, our host, was incredibly helpful and made check-in stress-free with prompt communication. The ranch was spotless, well-organized, and had clear notes for everything. The guest map was a hit with my teenagers. The beds were comfortable, and the ranch was well stocked with essentials.The serene setting and spotting a deer added magic to our stay. Highly recommend this ranch for a peaceful and memorable getaway. Thank you, Jules, for your exceptional hospitality!
First and foremost Jules was an amazing host! She was very responsive, accommodating, kind, and made our stay extra special with a few small touches. The property truly speaks for itself. We had a small wedding and everyone raved over the property. Perfect for seclusion and privacy. We also had really great wildlife experiences. We saw eastern bluebirds, green herons, and our biggest surprise was an excellent sighting of a bobcat. We would love to come back for a relaxing weekend eventually. Truly a memorable stay for all of us.
Such a beautiful home with amazing views. We appreciated how family friendly the house was, as it included games for the kids. Comfortable and peaceful.
Spacious, clean house on a lovely piece of property. Convenient to The Wilds. Easy communication with the owner. Nice to see deer and other wildlife wander the property.
I was really happy with the property and abundance of extra sheets/blankets/pillows. The owner (Jules) was very helpful and timely in responding. The surrounding shops and restaurants were not as far away as you would think. I definitely recommend staying here.
The house was cozy, clean, and welcoming. Jules was very responsive whenever we had questions. We really appreciated all the toys and games available for our children! Overall it was a very nice getaway.
It is a beautiful property. The house was very clean and comfortable. The host was very kind and communicated promptly with me. We enjoyed the firepit with free wood and the beautiful lake.
Note that there is only ONE bathroom and the 3rd bedroom is in the basement and is not a room. The wifi was out the entire time we were there but we were told it was not the homeowners fault. Also note that there is a significant security deposit, more than I've experienced before, that I didn't know about until our group had selected the property and were in the process of reserving it. I did get my deposit back but it took 2 weeks to get it. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and I recommend it.
We had so much fun staying at Begonia Manor. Inside, the piano was a favorite, and outside, my kids loved looking for frogs and tadpoles at the pond.
The internet connection wasn't the best for streaming, so we couldn't watch the movie we planned on, but we certainly did not stay here to stare at a TV screen.
The doors to the bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry room were sliding barn doors, and they were quite charming. However, some guests may not wish to stay were doors to bedrooms and bathroom cannot be securely closed. It didn't end up being an issue for us because our kids are old enough to understand the need for privacy.
We really had a wonderful time, and we would love to return in the future. The host is easy to contact and very friendly and helpful, and the property is simply beautiful. There are so many cozy places outside to enjoy, and the land itself invites you to enjoy the outdoors.
I’ve booked this property 2 years for Thanksgiving diner and time with family. It is great place to relax and enjoy the downtime. Recommend it! Host is amazing! Great communications with host too. Very accommodating.
Nice property, beautiful pond. Family and friends enjoyed our weekend. We went to the wilds….house located about 30 minutes from there. Made the trip very enjoyable.
This home is as it is described to be. Quiet, peaceful, well-maintained, well-stocked. We went out each day and came back to what felt like "home".

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Check in was easy, spacious property which was nice to walk to dogs around. The house was overall comfortable and served its purpose, but I felt that the cost was somewhat high relative to the features and condition of the property.
