Mountain Rose Farm
Just a 10-minute drive from Hammondsport, Mountain Rose Farm offers daily guided horseback rides on over 2-miles of trails around the farm and through fields and forest. These one to one-and-a-half hour trail rides cater to all levels of riders from folks who’ve never been in a saddle to experienced equestrians. With carefully selected horses to assure the most enjoyable ride, there’s no better way to tap into the tranquility and peacefulness of country living.
Interested in learning more about horsemanship? You can also sign up for individual riding lessons. And ask about the Youth Horsemanship Camp for your kids.
For a more full immersion into country life enjoy a farm stay, as Mountain Rose Farm also has two cottages available for seasonal short-term rental: The Farm Studio Loft and The Farm Cottage.
Sit on the porch with a cup of coffee. Enjoy the gregarious nature of Lucas, a friendly goat who is the unofficial greeter on the farm. Watch farm cats play or laze in the sun. Fish in the pond for bass or bluegill (catch and release only) or settle down on the bench by the water’s edge and take in the luxurious sounds of nature.
Studio Loft has a queen bed, walk-in closet, Roku TV, full kitchen with oven and stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, and garbage disposal.
The Cottage has queen bed, Roku TV, but kitchen only has a glass stovetop, large mini fridge, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, and electric tea kettle. They both have indoor showers yes.
Travel in your camper? Mountain Rose has also added a quiet, spacious Harvest Host site for an RV as another way to experience the farm.
