Perry & Silver Lake, New York
Fourteen at the barn, or twelve on the lake.
Two properties big enough to get everybody under one roof. The whole West Barn holds up to fourteen across five bedrooms, two kitchens and two fire pits. Silver Lake Haus sleeps twelve with a dock and a screened porch.
- Sleeps 12 or 14
- Kids and grandparents
- Farm animals on site
- Minutes from Letchworth
One day, all ages
The hard part of a reunion is the ninety minutes when everyone is awake at once.
Arrival Everyone at once
Two kitchens at the barn solves more arguments than you would think.
The whole West Barn is two separate spaces in one building: five bedrooms, four full baths, two stocked kitchens and two fire pits, sleeping up to fourteen. Each side has its own entrance and its own parking, so the early risers and the late arrivals do not have to negotiate.
At the lake it is one house: four bedrooms, two renovated baths, eight beds that sleep twelve, and a large screened deck facing the sunrise.
Morning The animals
The kids will not be indoors again until dinner.
Sheep, a potbelly pig + crew live on the West Barn property. There is an animal experience barn with a lounge and a family hangout space, and Amanda can arrange a private animal experience for your group, booked ahead.
Reviews of this place mention the animals about as often as they mention the beds. One family calls them the barn buddies and is on their 13th stay.
Afternoon Off property
Split up for a few hours and meet back at the fire.
The teenagers want the trail, the grandparents want Main Street, and both are minutes away. The little ones get Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, then burgers at the Charcoal Corral on the way home. With a full day, Niagara Falls is an easy drive.
- Letchworth State Park The Grand Canyon of the East. Three waterfalls, miles of trail, and in October the gorge walls turn every shade of red there is. Take the family to the well known ANT trail, or the pool in the summer months.
- Adventure Calls OUTfitters Raft down the Genesee River with the whole group! Plan to get wet and stand under a waterfall at one of the pit stops! Arrive early to enjoy the recreation area that offers pickleball and shuffleboard at the meeting site.
- Main Street, Perry
Farmers market on Saturday mornings, and the squash and cider end of the season is the good end. The Main Street Association bills the town as curiously hip and they are not wrong.
Check out some of our favorite small town staples- Eleven Covington, Act 4 Books, Country Belle Farm Market
- SMall town cafe Take a drive to Fillmore to enjoy our all time favorite little spot! Valley Bread and Bounty! Amazing sweet treats, the most wonderful small business owner, Sarah and hands down the best lunch in 2 counties. We often will hike the Genesee valley Greenway or Moss Lake when we venture to the bakery.
- Genesee Valley Greenway A rail trail that runs the length of the valley. Flat, quiet, and good for bikes as well as boots.
At the lake Silver Lake
The dock is the whole day if you let it be.
Waterfront with a small dock, a large front and back yard, a fire pit and a gas grill. Paddle boards and boats rent from Silver Lake Marina, and boats go in at Silver Lake State Park. Nothing docks at ours, but the Marina and the country club rent slips.
The screened deck catches the sunrise, and it is where twelve people end up when it rains.
Evening Gather around
Cook once for everybody, or hand it off.
Both barn kitchens are stocked chef’s kitchens with island and table seating, and the lake house has an eat-in kitchen, an indoor dining room and an outdoor table. Grocery stocking, charcuterie, brunch boxes and garden crudité are on the enhancement list and get set up before you arrive.
We recommend takeout from Questa Lasagna!
Then the fire pit, and the part of the weekend where the stories get repeated and slightly improved.
Pick the roof
Two big houses, and two smaller ones for the overflow.
All four are minutes from Letchworth and all four carry the same zipcode. You can be door to door in under 10 minutes.

From people who stayed
Families keep coming back, which is the only review metric that matters.
Amanda has impeccable taste and her home was as gorgeous as it was welcoming. My family and I had an amazing weekend! The details in the house were stunning and the property and location was top notch! We can’t wait to come back!
Amy
This is a fantastic historical cottage on Silver Lake. The screened in porch is a magical space. We spent hours chatting, playing games, reading and just enjoying the view. Off the dock was a prime fishing spot. We caught a variety of fish. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen has updated appliances. Amanda was a fabulous host!
Liz
What an incredible place for our “staycation”. Thank you Amanda & family for everything. We enjoyed many nights on the porch and by the beautiful water. We are so blessed we found this place and are already planning when we can book again!

Twenty of you?
Bigger than fourteen turns into a different conversation.
Small events at the RW How property run on a full property buyout, May through November, capped at 25 guests. If your reunion is that shape, start here rather than on the booking calendar.
- Whether your nights are open at the barn, the lake, or both.
- Whether what you are planning counts as a stay or as a small event. We can be your home base while you host your event at Letchworth or a local venue!
- What extra rentals or restrooms a bigger gathering pulls in.
- What to order ahead so the first night does not start with a supermarket run.
Or call (607) 221-9373 if you would rather just talk. Ask for Amanda!
Before you ask
The practical part.
What is the biggest group you can sleep?
Fourteen in the whole West Barn, twelve at the Silver Lake Haus. Those are separate properties about ten minutes apart.
Can we host a party as well as stay?
A gathering that brings in people who are not staying is a small event. Those require a full property buyout at the West Barn, run May through November, and cap at 25 guests. Additional rentals and restrooms may be required. Talk to Amanda.
Is it good for young kids?
The farm animals do most of the work. Guests greet the sheep, the potbelly pig and the animal experience barn has a lounge and family space. Southview has a corduroy bean bag bed and hammocks that get claimed within four minutes by the kids.
Can we bring the dog?
Yes, of course! Mention the dog when you book so that we can properly prepare. We will take care of the beds, dishes etc. so you can pack a little lighter. The West Barn also offers a crate.
Add them to your reservation since pet rates will apply to the stay. Through December 31, code ONEDOLLARPET makes the pet fee $1.
Can we book two properties on the same nights?
Yes, as long as availability allows. With the exception of the West Barn, each space will need to be booked separately.
What does it cost?
Rates move with the date, the season, the day of the week and your guest count, so the booking page is the only honest answer. Cleaning fees apply.
When can we check in?
Check in is 3pm and check out is 10am, same as every Dell Collective property. Check in and check out are self-serve unless you ask otherwise, and detailed instructions land in your email at 11am on arrival day.
If we can offer early check in or late check out, we will let you know. It is important to us to provide a perfect top to bottom turnover after each stay so alternate IN and OUT times may not be available if we have same day departures or arrivals.
