Weekend Trip to ZiegenVine Homestead

Great rustic cabin in quiet spot. Great farm. Exceptional hospitality from hosts.

Weekend Trip to Minglewood Camp

Definitely an awesome location and spot. If you want to be off the grid but close to the finger lakes this is your spot. Awesome creek next to the cabin. My labs loved the water

1 night at Ithaca Artsy Bunkie

Wonderful cabin to enjoy a few days or more away from the daily routine. Cabin is clean and spacious. Easy access to a bathroom in the main house. Two campfires rings on the property with one overlooking a pond. Very peaceful. Easy access to walking trails. Host was very friendly and easily accessible when we had questions.

Weekend Trip to Cabin Getaway

Highly recommend this quiet, cozy cabin!! It was the perfect place for our annual get away for my Mom and I during a rainy, cold Memorial weekend. Absolutely no issues getting to the cabin - even after lots of rain -the field was a little muddy in spots but completely manageable, and drive through woods was mostly gravel. Hosts had a fire started before arrival to take chill and dampness out of the air and dry firewood was available to purchase right at cabin. We were also pleasantly surprised by the portable battery (for charging phones or powering the pump to blow up air mattresses) and solar overhead lights. Porta potty was very clean, as was the outdoor kitchen area and outdoor shower. Cleaner amenities than most campgrounds and much quieter!!

Weekend Trip to Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake

Weekend Trip to Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake

Awesome place! Had everything I needed. Beautiful property too!

Weekend Trip to Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake

My group and I loved camping at Camp Whitman in the cabins. The cabin was spacious and came equipped with space heaters in every room. These became a necessity because of the unpredictably cold weather while we were there. The property is near plenty of wineries and breweries and offers the ability walk down to the lake for a picturesque view. I would gladly recommend this camping locations to friends looking to camp around Seneca Lake.

Weekend Trip to Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake

Very nice campground with views of the lake and some trails. Clean and well maintained facilities. Cabin was very clean and bigger than it looks from the outside. Will stay again.

Weekend Trip to Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake

My husband and I shared the Walnut bunkhouse with our six grandchildren for the weekend. We had plenty of room and truly enjoyed our stay. The property is serene and super enjoyable located out or the way but close enough to shopping, wineries and hiking, to name just a few things. The space provided us the opportunity to each have our own bed, a covered porch for relaxing and a fire pit/wood to commune around. The notice was super reasonable and it was easy to find.

2 nights at Ithaca Artsy Bunkie

This spot is so awesome! Nice and cozy and so close to many of Ithaca's attractions. The cabin also has some cool art and dollhouses. Hoping to be back since it rained a good majority of our trip, but my dogs and I both enjoyed staying at the cabin regardless.Thanks for being such accommodating hosts!

2 nights at Minglewood Camp

If you are looking for a great place to stay for exploring the trails and the falls of the Finger Lakes this is it! Pup friendly with a stream and a wood stove. They loved it too!

Weekend Trip to What Ever Floats Your Boat

“What Ever Floats Your Boat” was exactly what my group of three needed -- no more, no less. Space & amenities: Plenty of room, and the big circular table in the center is board‑game heaven. Generator: Started right up every time and ran smoothly. Heat: We never got the wall‑mounted heater to cooperate, but temps were mild so it wasn’t an issue. (A short printed guide, or darker Sharpie, would help here.) Signage: Nearly every potentially confusing switch or valve has a handwritten label, which is great, but many are fading and a bit terse. A quick rewrite in bold marker would make them fool‑proof. We’re still dying to know how a small yacht ended up marooned in a forest outside Ithaca, if you’ve got the story, please share it in the listing! Bottom line: Quirky, comfortable cabin with reliable power, loads of tabletop real estate, and only minor issues that didn't impact the quality of our stay. We’d book again.

Such topics can include gardening, fishing, animal husbandry, outdoor cooking, bird watching, using nature and animals to reduce stress, and many others.

Round Top Retreat

1 site · Lodging101 acres · Richford, NY

Close to Ithaca, NY, Cayuga Lake, and Cornell University. Once a snowshoe lodge, then a Boy Scout camp, this rustic cabin retreat property is surrounded by the Robinson Hollow State Forest. The 100 year old cabin sits only a few hundred yards from the Sierra Club section of the Finger Lakes Trail. The area is a peaceful spot for hiking, camping and snowshoeing or cross country skiing (October 1 bow season deer hunting begins, and mid-November to December is NYS gun deer season-which may not be as serene as you'd like). Perfect get-away for humans and their four-legged friends, it's a dog's dream vacation spot. Enjoy a week or weekend, or your vacation in a place where the "noise" is the melodious sounds of nature. It is remote enough to completely break from urban life, yet close enough to Ithaca, NY to enjoy its beauty and attractions. Amenities: outhouse, hand water pump, two-seater outhouse, propane grill, some pots and pans, grill utensils, wood stoves, private, gated entrance, pond, trails. Sleeping loft, no bed (you provide mattress/sleeping bag, etc.). There may be candles, toilet paper, bug spray (if left by previous guests). We are an LGBTQ-woman owned property, and welcome all campers regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, political views, religion, or culture of origin. Learn more about this land: A wonderful rustic, private, off-grid get-away, perfect for couples, families, and pups who enjoy camping (log cabin with wood furniture available, you may pitch your tent anywhere on the property - leave no trace). You may see some wildlife throughout the property (including a milk snake that lives in the cabin wall, but is harmless). It is a quiet, rural, farming area. Once at the cabin there are only two to three houses within a half mile (through the woods), so you will have a private space all your own. Winter camping is special - cozy wood heated cabin, hundreds of acres for snow shoeing, cross country skiing, or snowmobiling. Plan ahead, we do not plow the driveway in winter; plan to shovel an off-road parking space, and transport your gear up to the cabin (1100'). Wood is provided. Onsite: water pump, 2-seat outhouse, wood stove, campfire ring, wood, & propane grill. Exclusive access for nature hikes, streams, forest, pond, swimming, bird watching, star gazing, etc. A wheelchair that can navigate grass and some ruts can enter the cabin, but not the outhouse, and the sleeping loft is up stairs (there is room for a cot or mattress on the first floor); the porch is accessible through the cabin. When you book, you are confirming your understanding of the following: there is no electricity, running water, or std. bed/mattresses. You bring own air mattress, bedding, and gear you will need. All-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. We welcome special events, family reunions, or weddings, if your plans do not require utilities (you may bring a generator or other battery operated items, as needed). Note for winter guests: We do not plow the driveway in winter, you need to be ready to shovel an off-road parking spot, and transport gear to cabin (e.g. by sled, snowshoes) Here's a brief list of the basics to bring: Light source: Lantern propane or battery. Air mattress or cot and whatever bedding you need. Paper products (cups, plates, utensils, toilet paper, etc.) Matches/fire starter (there is wood on-site, and a propane grill for cooking that has a self-starter). Bug spray. Cooler and ice. Lawn chairs. There are a few tables, several chairs and benches. There are 2 picnic tables (one outside and one inside). The benches can be moved outside if you'd like, just move them back inside before you leave. The propane grill should only be used outside. There is a hand axe in the cabin to shave kindling, and the wood is already split to be the length for the wood stove, as needed. Gas: 5 miles away. If you plan to grocery shop when you get to the area, the closest store is at East Hill Plaza in Ithaca, about 9 miles past where the cabin is (I can give you all that info if you like). There is lots to explore/see/do in the Ithaca area if you decide to come down off the hill one of the days. I'll have some brochures and things in the cabin, and can answer questions (aka where is the best ice cream, dinner, etc.).

Waterfall Creek

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Millport, NY

This is a beautiful piece of property located in the heart of the Finger Lakes and Wine Country of NY. It features a stunning spring fed waterfall and nice forest land. Very close to town but also very secluded and private. Great place to unwind and relax from our everyday lives. It is situated however in a gully next to a creek and waterfall so it is susceptible to heavy rains. It is recommended to at least have an AWD vehicle if rainy. I can usually help campers with getting to the site in my side X side if you need to park up at the pasture. Please order enough wood initially as I have found I spend a lot of time delivering extra wood to campers. It seems as if you will typically go through 2 bundles per night on average. Also I supply a contractor size garbage bag to you if you choose garbage removal. It is also a good idea to text me when you have a solid ETA so I can be here to take you to the site. I want to mention that the two sites closest to the waterfall are a slight hike in and can only accommodate up to 4 person tents so if a bigger group or vehicle camping you will be placed at another site. Hope to see you soon. Ken

Cabins near Ithaca guide

Overview

This college town in the Finger Lakes region offers gorgeous scenery and some of the liveliest culture in upstate New York. Located on Cayuga Lake, Ithaca's natural beauty is built into the town. Hills rise above the historic downtown, and the Cascadilla Gorge winds through with century-old stone stairs leading down.

Campers don't have to go far to pitch a tent. Right in Ithaca, Buttermilk Falls State Park has stunning views and well-maintained tent sites and cabins. The park's namesake waterfall greets visitors at the entrance, and hiking trails loop the gorge.

For lakeside camping, head to Taughannock Falls State Park in Trumansburg. Located on Cayuga Lake, the campsites and cabins overlook the water. A sandy beach and boat launch provides easy access to the lake. Hiking trails lead the way to Taughannock Falls, a waterfall that drops 215 feet into the gorge below.

To swim under a waterfall, make a beeline for Robert H. Treman State Park. The town's most-loved swimming hole is here at the lower falls, with stone steps leading down to the water. Campsites and cabins are close by, offering an especially scenic camping experience.

Summer is undoubtedly the favorite time for camping. Festival season kicks off in May with the Ithaca Festival and parade. Also, Ithaca College and Cornell both host free concerts throughout the summer. The town's colleges are a significant boost to the local music and arts scene, not to mention great bars and restaurants.
