Beautiful and historic 1940's home overlooking Hemlock lake and the historic St. Michael's Mission in Conesus. This secluded home is tucked away from it all, and to use an old cliche, is truly off the beaten path. The home was masterfully crafted into the hillside within a wooded area and has a gorgeous view overlooking the other mission buildings, and a stunning back porch vantage point over and across Hemlock lake. It'll take your breath for a moment, and once here you'll surely feel inspired.
The space
Home is mission style, brick, modernized, and tastefully restored with a flare for the artistic. There are original stained glass windows, beautiful paint and woodwork, hardwood floors, and custom baths for that special sort of pampering. Historically the home was used as the nunnery portion of the mission, and while the pictures don't quite tell the story, your visit surely will.
This unique property with it's deep gorges, sloping landscapes, and tumbling brooks flowing into Hemlock Lake, is home to the historic St. Micheal's Mission and other various faith based and benevolent organizations since the early 1900's. The history that happened here is only imaginable today although much has been written about it. On site there are 50 picturesque acres to explore. As a visitor here you'll have much to talk about when you step into this timeless place. Please note that Airbnb currently prohibits advertising events

Guest access
This rental is for the whole convent home. We've included other photos to show various areas of the property and we encourage you to use the property for scenic hiking, photography etc.
Other things to note
Even though this is a large property, it is only being used minimally at this time, so you might feel like there should be other people around, however as it is now, there isn't. It's a large facility, and the convent home sits above it all, and as mentioned, is quite a ways off the beaten path. It's a neat place to hike and be in a natural setting, and is just generally a very tranquil place to be.

Neighborhood highlights
Mission Road, in Conesus NY, Did we say yet that it is definitively off the beaten path? In case not, here is a synopsis. Unless you live on the road, or are the postman, or the occasional sightseer, there aren't many others who come along, as the road is not a thoroughfare. The neighborhood consist of private single family homes, a beautiful winery, and 6600 plus acres of state land, and the 150 acre nature conservancy, which means lots of deer and wildlife. We have lots of deer who will greet you every day, and so with furry friends like these, we'd say the neighborhood is A-ok!
