3 Bedroom Cottage in Seneca

Tranquil views abound at this quaint home overlooking acres of farmland, forest, and a pond! Local legend tells that this charming farm cottage was once a stop on the underground railroad! Cozy up by the fire on a chilly night, or relax on the porch for a stunning glimpse of the sun rising over the forested hills or setting beyond the pond.
This cottage was completely renovated in 2021 with the goal of preserving its local heritage and potential historic significance. Much of the charm of this cottage comes from its quaint size, the locally sourced oak and walnut hardwood floors, and the historic elements preserved inside.
The kitchen, while small, has everything you need to cook/bake your favorite meals. This includes a gas range, pots and pans, cooking utensils, and of course plates, bowls, silverware, and cups. When you're done, a dishwasher simplifies clean up! The antique dining table has chairs for 6 guests and is situated inside of the eat-in kitchen. The coffee and tea station includes a small auto drip coffee maker, french press, and single serve coffee maker, and the electric tea kettle is ready for your next cup of tea. A selection of coffee and tea, as well as sugar packets and creamers, are also available for your stay.
The living room, situated next to the kitchen, features a 43" Roku TV, two couches, and two comfy chairs. Leave the overhead lights on for extra lighting, or use the dimmer on the switch for a more relaxing vibe. On a chilly evening, the gas heating stove in the corner will warm you and provide the ambiance of an indoor fireplace. On a warm day, open windows provide excellent cross ventilation or you can turn on the window mounted air conditioner to really cool the space.
The downstairs also includes one bedroom with a full bed, a bathroom with tub and shower, and a washer and dryer. Upstairs has two more bedrooms; one with a queen bed, and the other with two twins and a desk and chair. All bedrooms include brand-new dressers to store your clothes for longer stays.
Perhaps one of the best parts of your stay will be relaxing on the porch which is perfectly situated to enjoy a stunning sunrise in the morning or the picturesque sunset beyond the pond, cornfields, and forested horizon. The porch also includes a gas grill and a round patio table with chairs.
During the warmer months you'll be greeted each morning by a multitude of singing birds (especially red-winged blackbirds calling from the cattails) and in the evenings a chorus of frogs lining the banks of the pond will announce the coming of the sunset. During the winter, you can cozy up by the fire and enjoy the view of acres of snow covered fields and forest.
While the cottage's role in the underground railroad is difficult to verify, the hand-hewn wooden beams and other architectural features found during renovations confirm its historic quality and suggest that the original house was indeed present in the mid 1800s. Whether or not local lore about the house is true concerning the underground railroad, the house (once marked for demolition) was restored and preserved on the chance that we may call to mind this part of our country's history.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house, private driveway, pond, and surrounding yard. All linens and towels, kitchenware, and food and beverage treats are for our guests to enjoy.
The barn and corn fields located near the house are not included in the stay.
Note: As seen in some of the outdoor pictures, the cottage is situated about 30 feet away from the road. It should be noted that many historic homes were located close to early dirt roads often traveled by horse and carriage. Pavement and cars have changed how we travel, but this location is still brimming with country charm and rural landscapes!

Summary: My wife and I are vendors at a local event and try to stay in locally owned B&Bs as well as VRBO establishments rather than hotels. This property was one of our favorites. It was exactly what was advertised, off the beaten path, quiet and relaxing. The owner was fantastic with communication and the place was very clean and inviting. I highly recommend it. Thank you for offering this place. We'll be staying here again next year.

Summary: We rented Windy Hill Cottage for a weekend away to attend a family reunion in nearby Oil City. The cottage was cozy and included everything we needed. Check in and out was breezy. It was lovely to sit on the porch and listen to frogs in the pond and birds in the trees. The only caution I will share, especially for older guests, is that the stairs to the second floor are unusually steep. There is a handrail and a first floor bedroom, however. Overall, a comfortable stay!

Summary: Good, central spot to explore the parks and trails in the area. House was very clean and very comfortable. The two upstairs bedrooms are reached by a steep set of stairs (with a handrail) and have low ceilings (the eaves). Not an issue for us but might be difficult for some.

Summary: I realized I would be arriving two days early driving across country from the NE panhandle, I sent a message inquiring if the property was available two days early two days earlier than my original arrival date. They replied promptly and offered to add two days to my reservation. Within a few minutes my reservation was updated; 6 hours later I arrived to a very well lite home. The gas fireplace was on and the plugin heaters were an additional layer to a very warm welcoming. I loved the atmosphere and layout of the property. I only have one complaint, but not a deal breaker. The mattress was not comfortable although there was a foam pad on the mattress. (I usually travel with a thin air mattress for this reason). I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this beautiful historical country farm house.

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay at Windy Hill Cottage. We found it spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped for our needs. My only suggestion would be to add a mattress topper or a softer mattress on the beds. Would definitely return should the opportunity present itself again.
