Hosts were very accommodating. We had an issue with the unit late at night and it was addressed by our hosts quickly. A little small for the price and outdoor fire pit was not usable and grill was in bad shape.

If you are looking to be able to cook on your trip. Susan and Henry have everything you'll need within the kitchens cabinets. From the relaxing breeze from the lake to the soft lighting within the cabin itself. The small details were thought of carefully. Surreen and blissfully calm is exactly what we were looking for and Susan and Henerys cabin fulfilled us. Thank you for such a wonderful place to make memories.

Great small cabin for couples to stay and check out all the nearby wineries. Seneca lake is just a stones throw away with a boat launch just a short 3-5 min drive away as well.

Butternut Camp was the perfect cozy hideaway that offered us a quiet refuge in which to unwind, but was close enough to the village of Watkins Glen that we could easily partake of all that was on offer. There were several wineries within easy reach as well as craft breweries. Restaurants that catered to every taste could be found in town and along state route 414. The scenery was spectacular. The gorge in the state park is not to be missed. We found our stay relaxing as well as full of activities that we enjoyed.
