Birthday getaway
If you are looking for a secluded getaway but still close to the nearest attractions this is the place. We had a wonderful stay. The host is attentive to all your needs. The cabin has everything you need.

a very convenient location
It's very quietly located, but close to all locations we were visiting. The cabin is clean and pleasant. It can use better kitchen supplies including pots, pans and knives for people who need to cook. The pond is a walk, and could be missed if you don't walk all the way in the trail. Overall, we loved our stay.

Quiet & Peaceful Cabin
This cabin is tucked away in a perfect area. You are within 30 min of Watkins Glen and Ithaca and all the sights around them. The cabin is well appointed with all you may need, including laundry and a dishwasher. There is a large wraparound porch with comfortable chairs as well as a flat top grill. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this area and would recommend this cabin/host. Note: For anyone with mobility issues, please know that there isn’t a bathroom on the 2nd floor sleeping area.

Cabin is beautiful! The drive way is stone and can be a bit hard to find. The cabin itself is nicer than pictures show. We did not use pull out beds, however the mattress on the beds we used were comfortable. This cabin is the perfect location between Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Perfect place to relax after hiking. If you are reading this and are tall you will love the shower. It is set up for tall people.

Great cabin in an isolated rural country-side. More spacious than we expected (party of 4 adults toddler). Loved waking up each morning to the songs of birds while seated at the patio. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. There is a heater in the basement that more than warms up the entire house. Easily accessible to the nearby trails and waterfalls. And those country roads can get tempting to anyone with a lead foot! Be careful though. The host was very responsive - contacted him almost at midnight as we had lost our way. Would definitely recommend arriving at the cabin during daylight just to get an idea of where to turn in!

I love this cabin. The log cabin interior is beautiful, and the windows let in plenty of light. Outdoors are nice decks overlooking wildflowers and wild turkeys. No noise pollution, no light pollution - I didn't even know that was possible anymore without hiking into the backcountry. What a gift! Activities are easily accessible with 20 minute drives in all directions: to Watkins Glen State Park, Seneca Lake and its restaurants and boat rides, the Seneca Lake wineries, and, in the other direction, Robert H. Treman State Park and Ithaca. Perfect. Well, almost perfect: There is no bathroom on the 2nd floor sleeping level. That was a nuisance but not a big enough nuisance to change my mind about this place or to stop me from coming back. Thanks to the owners and manager for a most enjoyable stay.

This was a GREAT alternative to a motel!
We wanted to visit Watkins Glen and Ithica for a weekend getaway, and this cabin was perfectly located between them! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and lovely. It even had everything needed to make our own meals and our morning coffee. The wifi is a lifesaver if you need to stay on the grid as well. We loved it!

Hidden gem
The description of this cabin does not give it justice. Never rented a cabin or been in New York for that matter, but don't see how this place could have been any better. Secluded enough no one bothers you, close enough to Watkins Glen where in 15 minutes, you can be there. Whether you have children or not, this place is perfect. Can't wait to get back!!

The photos in the listing do not do the property justice. It is a beautiful cabin on a beautiful property. Perfectly located about 10 miles from both Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Everything was clean. Check in and out was seamless. Would live to visit again.

Fantastic hidden gem
Awesome experience all the way around from booking to checking in, staying and checking out. Super affordable and exactly as advertised with a fully equipped cabin, all appliances, cookware, utensils, washer/dryer, etc. Super clean and dead quiet nature view. Wonderful trip all the way from Ohio. We will def stay here again soon, probably in the fall. Outstanding job to Ron and his wife on the property management and facilitating a fantastic stay!

Very secluded, nicely updated but rustic cabin. Host very welcoming. Note: bedrooms are on second level, half bath on main level, full bath with shower is on lower level. Although cabin is located seemingly in the sticks it’s actually quite convenient between Watkins Glen and Ithaca. Would return for the location and serenity.

3 nights turned into 1
There were dozens of live (and dead) flies on the inside of the windows, probably due to an upstairs window that was ajar to accommodate an AC unit. Towels and linens are not addressed in the listing and there were none, only a bare mattress. The kitchen sink, strainer, and sponge had dried food. Counters and floors were also dirty. At 10 pm on the first night I saw a rodent in front of the dishwasher that ran across the floor and went behind the oven. With all of our food and personal items exposed we couldn’t put up with that and had to leave. I’ve lived in wooded settings and rented other cabins, none of which were dirty or harboring rodents. The manager did say he would refund the other two nights.

The location of this cabin is wonderful - very private and quiet but close to lots of parks, other things to do, and places to get anything you need. Ron responded quickly to calls and was great about answering questions and helping in any way he could.
