Meet Your Host

I'm Leslie Muhlhahn, the owner of The Trees Estate.

I was a long-time vendor at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market, and a local business owner for over 25 years. I am a professionally trained chef, specializing in pastries, wedding cake, and wood-fired pizza. I live on the grounds of the property, in the carriage house, with my three Akitas, Groucho, Guinevere, and Nadia. I value providing an enjoyable vacation for our guests using my experience to suggest the best of the bounty of the Finger Lakes, by creating a comfortable retreat, and sharing the history of The Trees. It is the ultimate compliment to have guests choose The Trees for cherished family time and memorable, once in a lifetime events. I hope that you find the house and hospitality welcoming and consider this magical place to be your home in the Finger Lakes.
