We take great pride in our home. My husband being a trim carpenter has truly made many rooms his masterpiece. Our home is a four bedroom centerhall colonial. I love color, thus you will find plenty of it throughout our home. If you love Stickley Furniture and Mackenzie-Childs pottery, you will love our home. Our livingroom walks out onto a large deck, overlooking the pool and gardens. Livingroom has a wood burning fireplace, 40" HD TV, as well as sleeper sofa. Our formal dining room hosts six easily. The kitchen is bright and cheery with a breakfast nook that also walks out onto the deck and overlooks the backyard gardens. Family room downstairs has another wood burning fireplace and 42" tv, with computer room, printer, and laundry room. Upstairs we have a large master bedrooms with 50" HD tv, guest bedroom, bathroom.

In addition to our home we have a guest house that through this program is now being used continually with exchangers coming into our area. We have banked many stays with exchangers that have stayed there at times when we could not travel to their home at the same time. Guest house walks directly out to the deck, pool, and hot tub. It has a bedroom with a queen size bed, full bath, galley kitchen with everything you may need, sleeper sofa, table for two and two TV's. If you plan on traveling with relatives, this guest house works out great. Everyone gets their space and privacy!

We our proud of our backyard. We put the pool, gardens, pool house, 1,000 square foot deck in since purchasing this home. It's extremely private, has enough night lights to land an airplane with a great stereo system. Many comfortable louge chairs and formal patio seating for six. Come and enjoy it!

We live in a quiet residential neighborhood on a beautiful tree-lined street just minutes from the Village and downtown Syracuse. We are located in the Village of Fayetteville, an extremely quaint town east of Syracuse. We are located within a 2-minute drive to the Village Town Center, which is loaded with shopping, grocery, and restaurants with a variety of fine dining options and high-end boutiques.

Take a stroll through Syracuse University’s campus located 10 minutes from our home.

Upstate New York is a beautiful area in all seasons; full of rolling hills and many lakes, providing many opportunities for outdoor exercise if you so choose such as swimming, all types of water sports, golf, tennis, boating, fishing, skiing (downhill and cross-country), hiking, horseback riding, etc. The Finger Lakes region is within a 1- to 2-hour driving distance from Fayetteville and is famous for its vineyards, wineries and historic towns i.e., Cooperstown, Skaneateles, Old Forge/Adirondacks, Ithaca, Geneva (Wineries, tour boats with dinner cruises), Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands and Saratoga.

Please take a moment to look at all our pictures listed of not only our home, but of all the beautiful surrounding areas to tour and visit while you're staying in our home!

We have an elegantly decorated home with new furniture, as well as antiques. We take pride in keeping our home clean and neat. We would treat your home with the same respect and care with which we would hope you would treat ours. We are non-smokers and expect our guests to be the same. Our two dogs can be boarded during the exchange. Children are welcome but parents must take responsibility for small children around the swimming pool.

We are very flexible. Would prefer to go somewhere warm during the winter and anywhere in the summer. We’re also interested in a non-simultaneous exchanges or hospitality exchanges. We have a guest house if you’d like to come and stay while we’re here or should you need a bigger facility, we’d be willing to stay in the guest house and let you have our home should our vacation dates not coincide in the exact week.

Disponível para qualquer data

We are really open to any U.S. destination, preferably in the mountains near a lake, or near the ocean. We love the Caribbean and our dream of touring Italy may just happen with this program!

Our kids have recently moved out and it is just my husband and me at home with our two dogs, plus two horses...but those we board. My name is Donna, and I am from the East Coast. I work for an environmental engineering company and my husband, Mark, is a finish carpenter for one of Central New York’s premiere custom builders. We absolutely love to travel and use every bit of vacation time we can muster to do so.
