nice cabin, steep hill

The cabin was charming and comfortable. The lake was quite a long climb down and back. A few sketchy looking trailers

Great location!

Would definitely stay here again. Cute little camp with different cabins, yurts and campers. We were a short walk from the lake. We used the paddle boards and kayaks and had a blast on the water. Pet friendly! Quiet location. Short drive to wineries.

The Haftl Family Experience

It was a very nice place. It had everything you needed, shower, fridge, beds, firepit, kayaks + other fun swimming items. The lake was absolutely stunning and so peaceful. We were a bit caught off guard that there were a lot of other cabins around, we thought it was more remote, but it didn't seem to bother us at all. Everyone was super nice and everyone kept to themselves. We all pretty much did the same thing, explored the lake and land, then had a fire at night. It was really really nice. The inside of the cabin was stunning. Very well built with beautiful wood everywhere. The loft bed was very comfortable. My son is over 6 feet and did not like the downstairs bed so much, but he is a giant and needs a lot of space lol. Overall, I would 100% come back to this place. It was a very nice time and well worth the money.

Sweet cabin in the woods with lake access

Our family really enjoyed our stay in Cabin 8. The cabin itself had 4 beds, a small kitchen and bathroom with stand-up shower. It served our needs perfectly. The WiFi was very good. It's a short walk down to the beach on Cayuga Lake via a staircase where they had countless kayaks, paddle boards, rafts and life jackets. The beach was by far our family's favorite part. The views were amazing and the water was perfect. Check-In and Check-out was a breeze. We really hope to come back again! Thank you!
