This 12-acre Finger Lakes country estate, filled with ponds, gardens and woodlands, seems to have leapt off Claude Monet's canvases. Delightful Provençal fabrics and French country furnishings make the rooms cozy and comfortable, while fireplaces and soaking tubs add romance. The friendly staff is available when you need them, unobtrusive when you don’t. With winsome views of the lily pond and footbridge, and the fresh-from-the-garden taste of the dishes, the restaurant truly transports diners. The European-style spa is both modern and charming.
