A Bristol Mountain getaway in South Bristol
By The Farmhouse at Bristol Springs · · 3 min read

A good mountain getaway leaves room for more than the slopes. Settle into South Bristol, spend time at Bristol Mountain, and leave a little space for a winery visit or a slow meal back at the farmhouse. Here is a simple way to shape your trip without packing every hour.
Start with your mountain plans
Bristol Mountain is a nearby destination for skiing and riding in winter. Before choosing your dates, check the resort’s official information for operating hours, snow conditions, lift tickets, rentals, and lessons. Availability can change with the weather and the season, so book any essentials ahead rather than relying on walk-ins.
Leave time for the neighbors
Arbor Hill Grapery & Winery, Brew & Brats, and Plenty the Bakery are directly next to the farmhouse. They make natural stops to consider when planning your stay. Check each business’s current hours before heading over, especially outside the busiest travel seasons.
For a longer tasting outing, explore Naples and the wineries around Canandaigua Lake. Our Finger Lakes wineries guide brings together nearby stops and options farther afield. Arrange a designated driver or transportation if wine tasting is part of the day.
Make room to unwind
The Farmhouse at Bristol Springs has four bedrooms and room for up to eight guests, making it a base for a family escape or a trip with friends. Between outings, enjoy the porches and valley views, cook together in the kitchen, and make the most of an unhurried evening.
Plan around your season
A winter trip might revolve around the mountain; a warmer-weather visit can leave more room for Canandaigua Lake, local trails, and wine country. Browse our area guide for more ideas, and check the guest FAQ for house details before reserving.
