About The Federal House B&B

Great Outdoors 

Urban guests will delight in the variety of wildlife that abounds in our area. Deer and rabbit are commonly seen in the garden. The falls provide habitat for beaver, great blue heron, mergansers, kingfishers, and mallards. Seasonal spectacles are provided by Canada geese flying overhead to nearby Cayuga Lake. The magical twinkling of fireflies begins in June; cicadas serenade in late summer. Small birds like cardinals, goldfinch, Baltimore oriole, scarlet tanager, and indigo bunting come dressed in dazzling color while others such as the pileated woodpecker impress us with their size and percussive talents.

Spend some time during your stay enjoying the great outdoors. Relax with a book in the hammock or swing, enjoy our perennial garden from the gazebo or guest porch, sit under the stars on a bench by the fire circle and be quietly entertained by the fireflies and waterfall.

In summer, follow the sounds a few steps to the waterfall for an afternoon swim or picnic. Stand under the falls for an invigorating blast, or search for fossils or the ruins of the old mill.
