Windfall is a 4.5 acre homestead tucked in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The property offers endless opportunities to connect with nature, from fishing or wading in Haights Creek (which runs the length of the property), to walks in the woods and a wild apple orchard, or visits with the miniature horse (Millionaire) in the animal barn.
Windfall offers peace and quiet and ensures a comfortable and clean environment for campers to relax and enjoy their time in nature, and is in direct proximity (10 - 20 mins) of state forests, preserves, and hiking/skiing trails.
Each campsite has its own small firepit, or you may join other campers at the main firepit near the farm side of the property.
A tented "outhouse" between the campsites, with a portable outdoor toilet, is available.
Minutes from Labrador Mountain, Tinker Falls, Kettlebail State Forest, and Morgan Hill State Forest, your stay at Windfall puts you in direct proximity to some of Central New York's top hiking, skiiing, snowmobiling, and wilderness opportunities. The property is 15 minutes from the Cortland/Homer area, a half hour from Syracuse, and one hour from Ithaca.

The land that became our property was once owned by the King family. (i.e. Kingtown Beach Road) In the 1970s it was a marina developed by the Fulton family, with 4 small tourist cabins on the hillside above the water. Two more families loved and cared for the property before our family purchased it in late 2018. We're are delighted to share the beauty of Cayuga Lake with guests from all over the United States and the world, and hope to welcome you soon to The Spotted Sandpiper! Situated on 4 acres and with 400’ of secluded frontage on Cayuga Lake, The Spotted Sandpiper is the largest private lakefront vacation rental property in the Ithaca area. We’re nestled at the end of a private road, but only 7 minutes from Trumansburg, 3 1⁄2 miles from Taughannock State Park, and 20 minutes from Ithaca. We're conveniently located along the Cayuga Wine Trail!We are perfect for family reunions and wedding party rentals, families traveling together or friends looking for a week or weekend away!

Nice camp site with campfire ring and toilet. I only ordered 10 dollars of camp fire but there were way more than that 🙂. Did use much since it was really cold.
Make sure you arrive during daytime otherwise you will have hard time to find the camp site. 4x4 is recommended when there is snow or wet.

We had an amazing last-minute stay at Mary’s place. Our pups loved having the freedom to roam off leash, and it was so nice to relax by the tent and take in the fall scenery. The woodstove kept us cozy all night, and Mary was very kind and responsive throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be back!

A very nice camp site (#2). This is located down a rural road that is a little rough. The area was quiet. Nathan stopped in after we got set up and talked to us about some local attractions, which, unfortunately, we were not able to visit. There definitely will be a next time. Very easy access to the site with large gravel drives and pads.
