Rustic Cabin 3: The Meadow Vole
Great for hiking and birding
The cabin is rustic with electricity and WIFI. The best of both worlds! Bathrooms and showers were clean with hot water. Luxury! Hiking trails are directly accessible from the property. The surrounding forest is home to a wide variety of woodland birds that are often heard but seldom seen. Eshay (susan) was a wonderful host.

Story Time Log Cabin
Had a great stay, weather was not cooperative. Cub cabin was large and bed comfortable, the tin roof is very loud in rain. Bathroom decent and shower has good hot water.

Rustic Cabin 1: Red Eft w/WiFi
Cool Campsite With A Nice Owner!
Eshay runs a lovely, diverse, inclusive camp that is family friendly and also earth-friendly. My adult kid and I had a lovely time sheltering from some pretty heavy rainstorms in our rustic cabin. Just be aware that you are camping in a state forest and you will encounter bugs and possibly small snakes or other wildlife, because you're in NATURE. Don't let that deter you from checking out this lovely camp.

Campsite 1: The Rabbit Hole w/WiFi
The camp site is really in the woods and felt very much like being in nature. This site has a very rustic feel and not some commercial camping ground. If you are into a little rough, little unkempt and overtaken by nature feel, this is it. Loved the site though had to cut short the trip due to heavy rains. Susan is wonderful and a wee nice person to have around.

Queer Summer Camp from Heaven
This was the best camping experience we have ever had! Clean, well maintained cabin with a private fire pit and potable water source next to the cabin, as well as a compost toilet and clean hot water shower on site. We felt safe and affirmed as a queer/trans couple and were delighted to get to know the site owner and other campers. The site is close to some beautiful hiking trails and a short drive away from Ithaca. We will definitely plan to come back soon!

Rustic Cabin 1: Red Eft w/WiFi
This was such a great stay for me. I just wanted to get away from the chaos of every day life and it was the perfect place to sit with myself. Eshey was a wonderful host and was willing to include me in her own gatherings and activities if it meant I felt more welcome. There are plenty of hiking trails and creeks not too far off. Some are across the road, others are a short drive. Everything is kept very clean and concerns are delt with as soon as possible. Eshey, thank you for a wonderful stay and helping my perspective change for the better.
