Alpine, New York
Rustic, secluded log cabin bordering 11,000 acre wildlife preserve BUT internet wired and close to attractions.
On vacation and want your own schedule Relax at the cabin. Enjoy the vistas from the hillside location. Throw some wood in the fire ring to cook hot dogs or roast marshmallows. The deer, gentle winds and birds will not bother you. If you need supplies, a restaurant meal, some night life, or a visit to one of the local educational institutions, then visit Ithaca or Elmira NY all within 20 miles. Don't forget the wine trail that is easily accessible from Watkins Glen or Hector, both about 11 miles away. Spring, Summer and early Fall are gorgeous in the NY Finger Lakes Region. Enjoy it all from this rustic log cabin.
From October to December the cabin becomes a HUNTER'S PARADISE. During the late fall period the deer start roaming and the ducks start migrating. Hunting season begins. For the hunter and sportsman, the log cabin offers special opportunities. Rental as a HUNTER'S PARADISE includes the option to lease 140 acres of private hunting land during your stay. This land includes hills that border the state wildlife area, wetland area that borders Cayuta Lake and forested land starting at Kayutah Lake Airport(2NY9). Contact management for more information on this option. Public hunting is available on the 11,000 acres in the Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area that borders the cabins private land.
As a summer vacation get-away or a HUNTER'S PARADISE, the log cabin offers a great location.
I love this cabin. The log cabin interior is beautiful, and the windows let in plenty of light. Outdoors are nice decks overlooking wildflowers and wild turkeys. No noise pollution, no light pollution - I didn't even know that was possible anymore without hiking into the backcountry. What a gift! Activities are easily accessible with 20 minute drives in all directions: to Watkins Glen State Park, Seneca Lake and its restaurants and boat rides, the Seneca Lake wineries, and, in the other direction, Robert H. Treman State Park and Ithaca. Perfect. Well, almost perfect: There is no bathroom on the 2nd floor sleeping level. That was a nuisance but not a big enough nuisance to change my mind about this place or to stop me from coming back. Thanks to the owners and manager for a most enjoyable stay.
Great place to destress .. remote but close to Finger Lakes .. bring provisions.. nothing close
Quiet, beautiful log cabin equipped with everything for a wonderful relaxing stay. Plan ahead for meals as the location is really remote. We loved it and the peacefulness of the area. Enjoy!
Property as described. Beautiful and peaceful with glimpses of wildlife. Would stay again!
We wanted to visit Watkins Glen and Ithica for a weekend getaway, and this cabin was perfectly located between them! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and lovely. It even had everything needed to make our own meals and our morning coffee. The wifi is a lifesaver if you need to stay on the grid as well. We loved it!
The description of this cabin does not give it justice. Never rented a cabin or been in New York for that matter, but don't see how this place could have been any better. Secluded enough no one bothers you, close enough to Watkins Glen where in 15 minutes, you can be there. Whether you have children or not, this place is perfect. Can't wait to get back!!
The photos in the listing do not do the property justice. It is a beautiful cabin on a beautiful property. Perfectly located about 10 miles from both Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Everything was clean. Check in and out was seamless. Would live to visit again.
Awesome experience all the way around from booking to checking in, staying and checking out. Super affordable and exactly as advertised with a fully equipped cabin, all appliances, cookware, utensils, washer/dryer, etc. Super clean and dead quiet nature view. Wonderful trip all the way from Ohio. We will def stay here again soon, probably in the fall. Outstanding job to Ron and his wife on the property management and facilitating a fantastic stay!
Property was absolutely amazing. Perfect little get away. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle but yet just a short drive to life. Really is An amazing little slice of heaven
This cabin was a little bit farther out there than originally thought. Very nice, quiet and peaceful. The wildlife was a nice bonus.
This quaint little cabin exceeded our expectations. Perfect location, secluded, well stocked, clean. Host was very good with communication. Check-in process was easy. Personalized welcome gift was such an unexpected but appreciated touch. Thank you!
Very secluded, nicely updated but rustic cabin. Host very welcoming. Note: bedrooms are on second level, half bath on main level, full bath with shower is on lower level. Although cabin is located seemingly in the sticks it’s actually quite convenient between Watkins Glen and Ithaca. Would return for the location and serenity.
There were dozens of live (and dead) flies on the inside of the windows, probably due to an upstairs window that was ajar to accommodate an AC unit. Towels and linens are not addressed in the listing and there were none, only a bare mattress. The kitchen sink, strainer, and sponge had dried food. Counters and floors were also dirty. At 10 pm on the first night I saw a rodent in front of the dishwasher that ran across the floor and went behind the oven. With all of our food and personal items exposed we couldn’t put up with that and had to leave. I’ve lived in wooded settings and rented other cabins, none of which were dirty or harboring rodents. The manager did say he would refund the other two nights.
The perfect little cabin for my family and it was a great location. We felt like we were at home and perfect distance from Ithaca or Watkins Glen! We hope to stay here again in the future.
The location of this cabin is wonderful - very private and quiet but close to lots of parks, other things to do, and places to get anything you need. Ron responded quickly to calls and was great about answering questions and helping in any way he could.
