Quiet and Peaceful Getaway

The Mountain Queen cabin was perfect for a quiet and peaceful stay. We loved just sitting on the porch listening to the birds and it was also conveniently located for visiting several of the beautiful state parks in the area.

We enjoyed our stay at the Mountain Queen. Our host Eshay was very welcoming, the log cabin is clean and comfortable, with a nice kitchen space to cook together. This trip was a wonderful opportunity to get out of the city, see the stars, hear the frogs and crickets, go hiking, and sleep in comfort.

Check-in was very helpful and clear. There is even a binder with all the information for reference, which was very helpful. Eshay keeps you updated on any changes or things you need to know. The cabin is very spacious and cozy. It was nice to be close to nature but still have the comforts. The area is quiet and beautiful. We had a lovely time.

Relaxing retreat

I’m grateful to Eshay for allowing us to stay at her lovely cabin. We had such a great and relaxing time. It has everything you need to stay for a while and it’s in a beautiful quiet location. Eshay is a very hospitable host. The hot tub and fire pit were great and we even caught some incredible lightning while we were there. It was delightful.

lovely weekend

The house was very clean & welcoming. Living area was compact but comfortable & had everything we needed. The loft is spacious, and there's a table up there for puzzles & games. It's open to the living space, but there's a curtain for privacy. We enjoyed exploring the walking trails. Remote location but only about 20 min to Ithaca. Wish we had more time!

Mountain Queen Cabin

Eshay’s cabin in the midst of Hammond State Forest was perfect for our anniversary getaway. It had all the amenities we wanted, along with a rustic vibe which we loved. The front porch was delightful with the morning sunrise and the evening moonrise, plus sweeping views of the forested mountains. It is a very peaceful setting with no traffic or people noise, only birds singing and the rustling of tree leaves in the breeze. There is also a nature preserve trail and a multitude of hiking/biking trails within walking distance of the cabin which we enjoyed. I would definitely stay at The Mountain Queen again. Thanks Eshay!

About the host

Hosted by Eshay Rausch

Host profile image
My life's work has included designing and implementing outdoor spaces and activities that are inclusive and anti-biased for families, children and adults to connect with nature and each other. Camp Earth Connection started as a children's camp and in 2015 evolved into a Woodland Campground & Retreat and Environmental Educational Center. Camp Earth Connection provides a welcoming space to all, with a warm welcome to individuals who identify as LGBTQ, as well as people from the BIPOC Community who may not have always felt safe in wilderness settings; And to all people who want to share a peaceful and amazing experience in nature.

Why they chose this property

Camp Earth Connection, my home is located in a beautiful forest setting. If you love being outdoors, and enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature you will love these properties. Also unique, is that the entire facility is alcohol and drug free. I believe this land offers a sacred place to rejuvenate, rest, heal and have fun.
For fun there are 20 miles of forest trails for hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing. You will also see horses on the trails. Just 20 minutes from the cabin is Greek Peak ski resort for down hill skiing. After a long day skiing or biking, enjoy the two person hot-tub on the porch. Ithaca is also just 20 minutes away, and offers three state parks with beautiful gorges, falls and trails. Wonderful eateries are nearby including the famous Moosewood restaurant.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the beautiful views surrounding the cabin. The trails are amazing - as a past cross country trail runner and avid hiker/walker, I have enjoyed exploring all of them over the years, and they never cease to bring me joy and peace. Wildlife is abundant due to the diverse forest. From barred owls, to coyotes, to glow worms and fireflies- this is a nature lovers paradise. For folks who appreciate a sober environment, they will enjoy all of the facilities which are alcohol and drug free.
