Whatever Floats Your Boat
Cozy cabin campfire night
I drove up with friends from the Philly area to see the 2024 solar eclipse. In one word: serene. Aaron’s plot was an amazing place to stay. The view of the stars alone made the trip worth it. The cabin was rustic, well-built, and stocked with essential cookware. The wall propane heater kept us warm in freezing temperatures. The generator gave us access to electricity, so we could stay charged. Aaron left plenty of firewood and fuel. You won’t get great cell service in the cabin, but that just means your friends and family will have your full attention. Catch the stars while you feed logs to the campfire and listen to the running water of the nearby stream. My only regret is that I didn’t bring an acoustic guitar.

Perfect🥰
Everything you need for a weekend and plenty of fuel for generator and heat. Very impressed with the thought that went into that. Lots of fire wood for my winter trip. Trails are near if you chose to adventure further just do some research ahead of time.

We had a great stay at the cabin. We enjoyed making a fire, walking the woods, and finding fossils along the creek bed. Aaron was very helpful and informative prior to our stay. It was our son’s 5th birthday and Aaron left him a small gift, which of course our son enjoyed as it made him feel quite special. We look forward to returning.

This property floats my boat!
Solitude. Quiet. Cozy cabin. Dark skies. Fossil hunting in the creek. Waterfall on the property. Fall foliage. This place had it all and then some! The cabin was clean, stayed warm even on the lowest setting from the propane heater, was stocked with everything (i.e. pots/pans, toaster, utensils, plenty of chairs, games, etc.) you would need, ton of windows providing views of the forest around you, multiple beds, and charming rustic decor. Outside you had dark skies (easily a 3 or 4 on the Bortle scale for any night time enthusiasts), plenty of forest, a creek running from the small waterfall at the top of the property down past cabin providing the ambient sounds of the babbling water and fossils galore (I found 3-4 large fossils of aquatic creatures and shells on the first few flips of rocks), a steep but nice walking trail behind, plenty of firewood for the fire pit, and forest all around you. Aaron the owner was friendly, informative and knowledgeable on things to do in the immediate area, replied right away to any questions I had, and couldn’t have been a better host. Minutes from Ithaca and multiple state parks it makes a great home base to go see the multitude of waterfalls (Taughannock, Lucifer, Cascadilla, etc.) in and around that area, miles of beautiful trails (Lick Brook Falls), and plenty of kayaking opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts like myself. Will definitely stay here again on return trips!

Waterfall on property !
We had a wonderful stay at the property. The location is perfect for both groups of friends and families. The property offers a peaceful atmosphere and ample space for everyone to enjoy. Although there is no phone service on the property, it's just a short drive down the road to get a signal.
There's a generator that is connected to the cabin.
There's a microwave, oven, lights, water jugs over a sink. The cabin has two bunk beds and one queen bed. We all camp outside in our tents but we ate and played games around the round table in the cabin. The property is very large, there's a stream passing right near the cabin. If you walk 5 minutes up the stream you'll see a small waterfall. The property is just a few minutes from all the big waterfalls in Ithaca town.
The outhouse bathroom was clean and well-maintained. The only minor inconvenience we encountered was the lack of garbage collection or dumpster on-site. As we live 5 hours away, it wasn't practical for us to take the trash home with us. However, this didn't overshadow our overall positive experience at the property.
Overall, we highly recommend this property and would gladly return for another visit. It was a great choice for a getaway, and we're confident the next guests will have a fantastic time as well.
