The heart of Applegate Studios, the "Farmhouse Retreat" is a beautifully restored early 1800's farmhouse independent apartment.
The property is located in a quiet setting 6.5 miles from Ithaca on 6 acres, and is centrally located for exploring wine country between the most scenic waterfalls and parks in the Ithaca area.

The “Farmhouse Retreat” is a charming farmhouse that was one of the first framed houses (original structure dates approximately to 1810) in the hamlet of Enfield outside of Ithaca proper.
Hand-hewn beams and original wide planked walls are some of the well preserved highlights of the old. While touches such as skylights and a modern kitchen have been added in a way that blends with the old, while making it comfy for us less hardy modern folk.
A mix of antiques and artistic touches contrast the modern “Studio" listing next door (see reviews) and sets the tone for a relaxing stay in a beautiful country setting. Applegate Studios is located just far enough from the city of Ithaca to be peaceful yet close enough to be convenient.
The natural setting is halfway between two of the most beautiful waterfall filled state parks. Treman and Taughannock State parks are both approximately 5 miles away. It is also well situated for wine country tours giving you a good head start towards both the Seneca and Cayuga wine trails.
This is one of 2 private spaces on the property that is in the process of becoming an artist and musicians' retreat. Each has a good feeling of privacy inside, and have their own private outdoor areas oriented towards different views.
There is an empty pantry room and laundry between the Farmhouse and the private “Studio” rental. The laundry use is for guests staying over 5 days.
The Farmhouse is the future writer's or acoustic musician's retreat is now a great spot for a couple, family, or group. It has a private outdoor/sitting area with a beautiful view facing to the south across a large field towards an 18 hole golf course "next door" (Hillendale), and a rocking chair porch facing north towards the barn.
The barn is in the process of becoming a glass casting studio and summer apt. with a yurt behind it (not visible from farmhouse), but is currently not occupied.
There is an old school jacuzzi tub in the large master bathroom for after a long day. There is also a small 2 person hot tub that is in a screened quiet zone between the farmhouse and The Studio that is available to use alternating with Studio if not reserved by the Studio.
