About this property

One of the most distinctive historic properties in the Finger Lakes, the former White Gazebo Inn B&B, is now open for weekly vacation rentals!

The White Gazebo property is home to an original Victorian gazebo built in 1853, as well as a picturesque period barn, sprawling pastures, and quiet woodland privacy. The regal, historic home includes three/four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms. Private terrace and patio for gathering, picnicking, and barbequing, and extensive grounds for walking, or just sitting and sipping wine and enjoying the bounty of the Finger Lakes, or for doing just about anything. Just dream!

The main house is a charming, cozy home with a recent addition for more space and key amenities- a Master Bedroom suite, a cozy family room, a breakfast nook, and a utility room with a full laundry. The second floor has two bedrooms and a shared bathroom with windows facing the historic gazebo. Large closets.

Outside- the grounds provide a peaceful relaxing setting. If the Lakes are not keeping you cool enough, an inground pool is here for your swimming enjoyment. Tables, chairs, and a gas BBQ grill are at your fingertips.

Even if you don't need to sleep two more people, the cottage is useful as a pool house changing room, or for lawn picnic/event kitchenette convenience.
*Cottage is not available for May graduations

Our property is an ideal setting for family reunions, bridal showers, weddings, and receptions! We have hosted weddings, reunions, and baby and wedding showers over the years!

SUMMER 2024 BOOKINGS ARE FROM SATURDAY TO SATURDAY! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Additional event fees are negotiable with a full property rental fee (House plus cottage).

Family gathering around the pool.

We had a great week at the White Gazebo. There were 11 of us -- from age 1 through 71 -- and there was room for all in this lovely home. Christine was an excellent host and very responsive when we had questions. Trumansburg is a nice little town with plenty to do. We bowled and went to the farmers market and the fair, but we mostly relaxed around the pool and on the patio, enjoying family time together. We highly recommend the White Gazebo!

Finger lakes stay

The house was large though a little quirky since it’s an old house. Good location and a nice pool. Hiking. Winery. Distillery. Gardens.

Extended Family trip!

We had a wonderful time at the white gazebo! Our group consisted of two families each with small children and one older couple. The setup was really perfect for us. Everyone had a space and we were all very comfortable. The house was very clean and well taken care of. We had everything we needed there! We especially LOVED the pool! So glad it was safely fenced in too! There's a great playground at a school across the street and the town is walking distance. This was a perfect place for us and we hope to visit again in the future! And can't forget Christine, our host was very responsive.

Amazing place and location

We had an amazing stay at the White Gazebo! We were there for a family wedding and then vacation. There were 8 adults and 3 young children and we had more than enough room. The place was nicely stocked with all essential kitchen and cooking needs. We absolutely loved sitting on the covered porch and using the pool. The location was great to visit all the surrounding waterfalls and wineries. We would absolutely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Christine R Swift

I welcome you to my childhood home!... where growing up in one of the best small towns in the country, Trumansburg, provided me fond, lasting memories.
And as you can see, I always took great pride in taking care of the family property- that's me keeping the Gazebo spotless oh so many years ago... Even then, I always knew there was no place like home. Experience our home for yourself and you will agree.

Why they chose this property

For years, my parents welcomed guests from all over the world into our home as the White Gazebo Inn Bed and Breakfast.

We hosted parents and students from Cornell and Ithaca colleges. Grassroots music fans, international scholars and wine enthusiasts all which enjoyed the welcoming sight of the White Gazebo as you drove into Trumansburg.

Growing up here I have fond memories of the many family gatherings of picnics under the trees to celebrating a family wedding in the gazebo. The White Gazebo is serene, private, and convenient to many of the major attractions of the Finger lakes.

We will help you navigate your way to them with pleasure! After all, we now live elsewhere, and could vacation anywhere, but we choose to come back year after year and spend our precious vacations in the Finger Lakes. You should, too!

What makes this property unique

Why you will LOVE the Finger Lakes... (And why the White Gazebo is the perfect base for enjoying all the best the region has to offer...
THE WINERIES: (Of Course...)
The White Gazebo is uniquely situated for you to enjoy easy access to both the Cayuga Lake and the Seneca Lake wine trails:
The Cayuga Lake wine trail starts one mile from here, and wineries such as Americana (2 miles away) are now places to gather and relax and enjoy both cuisine and entertainment as well as the fruits of the vine. Seneca lake wineries such as Hazlitt's and Wagner have become popular gathering places for Friday night music on the Terrace and other special events, and are only 10-15 minutes away from the White Gazebo. THE OUTDOORS:
With Taughannock Falls park just one mile away and its miles of hiking trails, lake access, and fishing options, there is no end to the outdoor activities you can pursue right here. Additionally, the proximity of the Finger Lakes National Forest to the White Gazebo opens even more possibilities for hiking, fishing, and more. Even Lake access to Seneca is only 15 minutes away! We love to kayak, bike, and fish, too, and can help you find your way to the activities you desire!
THE REGIONAL FOOD REVOLUTION:
This region is the site of the most dynamic natural, organic and local food revolution anywhere. We can get you started with how you can enjoy the Trumansburg farm market scene, local producers, and soon you'll be out on the grill, cooking up anything you can imagine, all produced and raised within miles of Trumansburg! MUSIC, CULTURE, CRAFT FAIRS AND OTHER EVENTS:
The Grassroots Festival; Finger Lakes Wine Festival, Ithaca Festival; Cherry Festival; Cornell Botanic Gardens; and Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary. THE MUSEUMS AND REGIONAL HISTORY:
With the Museum of the Earth just 5 miles away, and the Museums of Ithaca (ScienceCenter, Johnson Art Museum) And Corning Museum of Glass only a few minutes further, there's plenty to do even on rainy days!
