Graduation Weekend
The Log Home Retreat was an excellent space for our family to stay and celebrate graduation weekend. We were 15-20 minutes away from all of the Cornell graduation activities and Ithaca sites. The home is spacious and had everything we needed to host our extended family. Brad and Emily have done a wonderful job making the interior of the log home both functional and beautiful. The outdoor space makes the experience that much better with the ability to gather, play, relax, and enjoy nature. Everyone in our group from age 2-72 found a spot on this great property that connected with what they needed to make the best of this weekend getaway. We highly recommend it and only wish we had found it sooner!

About the host

Hosted by Brad B

Host profile image
We are best friends, parents, professionals, and nature explorers from New Jersey. We fell in love with the Finger Lakes Region while our oldest attended college. Every trip reveals some new natural treasure. We hope you discover your own beauty.

Why they chose this property

Sitting in Adirondack chairs in the courtyard with our morning coffee while watching the poplar leaves "sparkle" in the wind.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has been referred to as Narnia by friends. The simple, unassuming log structure is deceptively small from the outside, but when inside it opens up and feels much larger. You'll be immediately taken in by the rich wood tones and exotic burled wood finishings. The inside of the home feels like the woods that surrounds it.
