Another magical weekend at the Bird House!

This is our second stay this year and just requested a booking for next June. We love the location. It's peaceful, beautiful and relaxing: a place to truly decompress. Great places to hike in the area, and, of course, fantastic wineries and breweries.

Sweet cabin away from it all

Thank you for a nice, little get away. Everything we needed for a long weekend. Lovely location! (One note: if you plan on boiling noodles or making something like oatmeal, be sure to pack a pot of your own to cook in. There are a couple of cast iron pans in the cabin, but no other cooking pots.) Cami & Josh

Excellent!

Dave was great! He was very responsive with any questions and suggestions for things to do in the area. We actually got upgraded to a different cabin near Hammondsport. The cabin was amazing with some basics there for us to use including a heater, French press, grill, and utensils/pots/pans. We had a great time and Dave was a great host. Would highly recommend.

Rustic retreat

This was a great getaway for christmas, the cabins are rustic with limited electric and no plumbing, but Dave has done a great job insuring that the outhouse is clean and there is adequate lighting. The property is gorgeous for the winter and Dave was very helpful and easy to reach with any needs. Would stay again.

The Best Getaway we ever had!

This cute, romantic little cabin, secluded in the woods, allowed us to immerse in nature, disconnect from our crazy routine and reconnect with each other. While the wineries and scenery were unique, we couldn't wait to get back to our hideaway. We found the cabin and restroom perfectly clean. Our host had provided enough wood for the fire pit, we were able to have a restful night sleep, and make tea and coffee in the morning in the little stove. Thank you, Dave. We'll be returning soon!

Clean and Quiet Cabin in the Forest

The Bird House is the perfect place for peace and quiet. Dave, the owner, answered all of my questions and made an excellent effort concerning our visit. I highly recommend the Bird House to future guests who are fond of nature, peace, quiet, and a clean cottage in the forest.

Will absolutely come back!

Everything about this property was absolutely perfect. Dave and his wife provided absolutely everything we needed for our stay, aside from a few basic things that he said we needed to bring. The walk really wasnt that far from the parking to the cabin. We stayed warm despite staying during a cold rainy weekend. The location and relative remoteness was ideal for my stay!

Great quiet spot to set base camp

Rented the cabin for a birthday getaway for my girlfriend. Breweries, winery's and distillerys all close/on the way to Hammondsport. Dave had the cabin well prepared for our arrival and was easy to contact with questions. Would definitely come back

Great property, campsite provided water, propane, battery lights, firewood. It was great to stay her

Dave is beyond helpful, and had an excellent stay. He cares that his guests are safe and comfortable, and having a good time. Property is beautiful, especially in the fall, and you can completely get away from everything if you want to. I will definitely be back! Thank you Dave!

Peaceful

We loved this place..the view from the front porch drinking morning coffee was perfec. Dave upgraded us because he knew this place was closer to the cute little town of Hammersmill. The place was spotless and everything needed was there for a fun few days without electricity. We woul d love to come back. Dave was a great host. He even made a fire for us the first night while we were out for dinner

Perfect Mix of Off Grid Experience with modern accommodations

First of all, the property was beautiful. The cabin was well constructed and cozy. Dave did an amazing job providing accommodations for the weekend. He provided ample firewood, fire starter, toiletries, lights, speakers, dishware, everything you could possibly need! I was actually very overpacked because I did not expect that he would be so thorough with providing all the items he did. If you want to enjoy the serenity of the outdoors with an off grid experience while not quite living like Bear Grylls in the artic tundra then this is the place for you! Can't recommend this listing enough, was everything we had hoped for!

Amazing Glamping

The property is secluded but easy to access. We stayed in Harvest moon with two twin beds. There is a sliding door that has a screened in area for light and breeze. The outside was next to the cabin. Dave is easy going, great communication and soooo nice. His dog Kona is pretty awesome too!

Perfect

If you're looking for a vacation away from it all but close to some real fun stuff this is the place for you! We did not adequately communicate with Dave beforehand and got lost on the back roads west of the lake; when we called him (at 10:00 pm!) he patiently and hilariously guided us in. Highly recommended!

A nice reprieve

The cabin was as discribed. Good communication with the owner. The spot was sufficiently remote, very quiet, but still within a short drive or hilly bike ride to the lake and other attractions. I was disappointed that there was an extra firewood fee and heating fee (what heating?) since I thought those would be included in the price of the cabin. We loved our stay there but were a little soured by the final price breakdown.

Nice Rustic Cabin

My wife and I had a great 2-night stay in the Birdhouse cabin. Loved the location, about a 5 minute drive from Kueka lake, 10 minute drive to a few breweries and distilleries and a 20 minute drive to Hammondsport which was a cool little town. The cabin is very rustic, but is supplied with a propane heater which kept us warm. It also had a butane burner a teapot and a french press which came in handy. The place was easy to find once we got the address. I would pack anything you think you'll need for cooking purposes. The outhouse was super primitive and was a bucket, so be prepared for that. Bring your own camping chairs too. The ones around the fire are pretty beat up.

One word, Disgusting

Our experience at the Pond View over Memorial weekend was definitely memorable! We brought our kayak halfway across the state to use in the pond. When we got there, there were several other boats at the dock. It was impossible to get ours in the water. Dave knew we were bringing our kayak. It was clear these boats had been there a long time, and the area was not clear for use! During the process of exploring the boat area, my husband fell through the dock! The dock is definitely rotting and needs some attention, totally not safe. We brought our 3 year old son, and we couldn't let him near the pond because of the conditions. The supplies/trash surrounding our cabin was disgusting. It seemed that the supplies were there to make your camping experience more complete, however, it you bring your own supplies you will not have any room to use them. There are PILES of dirty used equipment. Behind our cabin was a pile of trash, including 2 medical commodes. I don't mind my son getting dirty, but this was clearly not the place to let him explore. The cabin had a terrible odor. My husband said the smell was coming from the loft, he mentioned blood, hair, waste, and possibly a family of raccoons. The cabin was supposed to have electricity, it did not. The shower was not working when we got there. We had a family meeting after sleeping our first night, my son was begging me to go home (he loves camping). We were supposed to stay 3 nights and only lasted one. Dave said that he would give us half our money back, he did not. The best part of our weekend was pulling in our driveway. This was a total waste of money.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Hopkins

Host profile image
We were born and raised in the Finger Lakes area. We have over half a century of the knowledge of what this area has to offer. Keuka Cabins originally started as a place to spend time with our four children. Our family found joy in the simplicity of a slower pace of life and time to reconnect. We started hosting guests over a decade ago. It quickly became our passion to share our appreciation of nature.

Why they chose this property

Although purchased as a future home site for my wife and I, we soon realized the cost of running electric, running water etc. combined with four kids in college was unrealistic at this time. We have found such little things as pressing your coffee with water heated over open flame, as opposed to your Kuerig machine is a small price to pay for enjoying the peace and quiet.
With todays rising costs for getting away from the city we feel this is a perfect retreat for many guests from all over the world.

What makes this property unique

You can drive right by this little paradise in the woods without even knowing its nestled beyond line of sight. Incredibly private and my 'nice doggies welcome' policy make for a nice little get away. Minutes from local wineries, breweries & distilleries. Watkins Glen State Park is the biggest draw to this area and is located 35 minutes away. We are also a few miles away from Keuka Lake, Penn Yan and Hammondsport.
