Stay in our cozy heated and well insulated, artsy cabin. We're located on a quiet woodsy dead end street with tons of bird life and acres of nature to enjoy. Walking trails are right out the back gate! There is also frog pond and campfire pits to enjoy. Marshmallows and roasting sticks provided. The bunkhouse is less than 2 miles to the center of Ithaca where there is plenty to do! including taking advantage of the new bike share program and waterfront trails. Definitely come hungry, Ithaca has more restaurants per capita than NYC and LA.!! Were also just 12 min across town to Cornell University and Ithaca College and 5-20 minutes from numerous amazing waterfalls. The available half bathroom is in the main house, just seconds from the cabin and is open to use 24 hrs. The heated bunkhouse has 2 twin mattresses in the loft, and several blankets and pillows, but you need to BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS and pillow CASES as you wish. Firewood is $5 per fire, starters materials included, marshmallows are in the end table drawer! There are roasting sticks near the cabin door and out by the far fire pit. You can select the campfire wood option here or pay in cash in the cabin. Feel free to bring your own fire wood and pay nothing to enjoy a campfire. if you need any help starting a fire, we can help. We have a sweet fluffy orange cat who roams the property. His name is kitty kitty :) He's fearful of dogs, and is wary of visitors since they might be harboring one! If you have a pup with you, please keep them leashed at least around the main house and cabin. We are also have a very sweet dog, Beya-- (pronounced Bay-yuh). She is the nicest person you'd hope to meet and although she may bark a little the first time you come in to use the bathroom she's just letting us know you have arrived- and will be very happy to have you greet her. She doesn't jump up, growl, or have any negative behavior with people --other than getting underfoot in the kitchen!. There isn't a shower included in the stay unless you are here for multiple days and have spoken with us about it...but you can definitely wash up with hot water and soap, in the half bath --hand towel provided. The cabin has air conditioning for summer use so no worries about being too warm to sleep well. (and of course there is electric heat in the ** We have also have for sale our just published 100 Things To Do In Ithaca before You Die-- book, let us know if you want one and we can have one ready for you upon your arrival. 18$ ---see the photo and blurb in photo section of our listing If there's something else you need for your stay, just ask! We are pretty flexible and can probably help out.Stay in our cute, artsy cabin, located on a quiet, woodsy dead end road with tons of bird life and acres of nature to enjoy. Great walking trails right out the back gate! Frog pond too. Cross country skiing in season. There is electricity and heat in the bunkhouse, with 24 hour easy access to bathroom in host's house. Must bring your own towels and toiletry items. Sleeping area is a loft with two twin mattresses. Blankets provided but no sheets. Less than 2 miles to center of Ithaca. Lots to do in Ithaca, including utilizing the bike share program and waterfront trails. If there's something you need for your stay, just ask! We are flexible and can probably help you out.

Exceptional Stay as always
We love the artsy bunkhouse ; Rob is such a talented artist! He has carefully filled the bunkhouse with his many artistic pleasures. We loved all his paintings of the birds and nature scenes. We have stayed here 4 times now and every time the hosts go above and beyond with their amenities. There’s also a great nature preserve nearby which is great for dog walking and perfect for grounding. Gourdlandia is also near by so be sure to check that out. Rob is so kind and puts thought and detail into everything. This is our go to place to stay when in Ithaca. We will continue to stay here. Always comfortable and cozy. The bunkhouse is incredible.

Robert was a fantastic host, the cabin is perfect and cozy, the land has so many trails to walk, and it's only about 5-10 minutes from anything in Ithaca. Will be returning :)
