Mini Honeymoon

My wife and I got married three weeks ago, before we could go on a long honeymoon we had the chance for a long weekend getaway. The cabin was perfect for us and our dog Roy! Not too far from town and entertainment, yet far enough out in the country amongst the farms and forest to enjoy the solitude.

A charming rustic cabin - truly a glamping experience! We had a great time being off the grid with no tv and not checking our phones. They provide games and corn hole to fill your time when not exploring the area. Beth was very responsive to all of my questions.

Glamping mom with college age boys

Great location and well appointed cabin. Gorgeous property with a mini gorge, stream and views. Home base for trip to hike Watkins Glen State Park, Racing the Glen, and Corning Glass Museum. We made campfires and enjoyed the very clean and various outdoor cooking stations. Our golden retriever joined us and loved it too. Thank you Beth and Chris for your excellent communication, recommendations and for the great memories.

Marvelous experience

My wife, two kids (4 and 6), cousin and dog enjoyed the cabin. We absolutely loved it! We used it as a base to explore the area for 3 days. We ended up extending an extra day and could have stayed more. It is quite relaxing, feels off-grid, it is surrounded by woods that even have a creek running through that was great to explore with the kids. We found the outdoor shower spectacular. The hosts were wonderful, very easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed it and would recommend it. Thanks for sharing your cabin :-)

Glamping Oasis

What a wonderful spot for a much needed nature break from city life. I see why Beth and Chris are ranked as super hosts, they were very friendly and thorough giving us all the info we needed for an amazing getaway and couldn't have been more welcoming. The cabin is one of a kind, has everything you could possibly need with an amazing outdoor cooking set up. Our pups loved the cabin and it was secluded enough that we could let them be off leash. Close enough to amazing wine tasting, Watkins Glenn, waterfalls, kayak adventures and a tasty creamery it really is the perfect location. Thanks Beth and Chris! We'll definitely be back.

AMAZING RELAXING stay

I can't say enough good things about this cabin. we were greeted on arrival, and you can see the pride they have taken into this property. The cabin itself is beautiful and the wrap around porch is perfect. They had everything that we needed. Grills, grilling tools, fire wood, containers for food storage. The upstairs loft was perfect for sleeping. the beds were so comfy. I have to say the outside shower was so nice with the morning sun beating down. Having coffee out on the porch in the quiet was exactly what we needed. if your looking for rest and relaxation this is the place for you! The location was perfect, it's right down the road from town. We can't wait to stay again!

Happy Glampers

This was a last minute little getaway for my boyfriend and I and our friends. We absolutely had the best time together - we spent our days walking the trails. We saw so many beautiful waterfalls! we spent our nights by the fire outside sharing stories and laughs and making memories that will last with us forever! Buck (the dog) was so happy to have free roam of the entire property, playing and relaxing with us. If you are looking for an authentic camping experience - this is it, w a touch of glam.

Hosts Chris and Beth spend their summers enjoying Keuka Lake. They wake surf and water ski.

Why they chose this property

Christopher grew up on the property. He explored every corner of the land and Sleeper Creek. As a teenager, he was inspired to build a cabin. It was designed by a aspiring architect who sadly died while the cabin was under construction. The cabin was constructed overlooking the Sleeper Creek Valley using logs and stones from the land.
