This was such a beautiful, serene place. Location was excellent for Ithaca, Watkins Glen and Cornell waterfall trails and hiking. The upstairs loft was super cute but we slept on the futon downstairs, which was so comfortable with a thick memory foam topper. Also, I had never experienced bath towels like these.... so luxurious!We had company at our mightly campfires. Very friendly feline friends.This is cozy, country charm with a bit of artistic whimsy. Magical Thank you, David!

This is a unique, charming little homestead, and David was as courteous and responsive a host as we’ve had. I would definitely recommend the property and stay again when in the area.

Amazing!
The host was super friendly with speedy replies, the cabin was so cute and cozy, and the check in was super easy. The three kitties was an added bonus! Would 100% stay again if ever in the area.

Heavenly, with frogs
David’s cabin was quirky in the best way—lovingly built and furnished, with all the fluffy towels and kitchen goods we needed for a short stay. The grounds were serene and delightful, with a rainbow of birds and wildflowers, three friendly cats, fireflies, and some raucous nocturnal frogs that were easily drowned out with the provided fans. The perfect quiet (except those frogs!) country retreat. Note: the cabin is on a gravel road; our rental car seems to have emerged unscathed.

Eclectic decor, comfortable cabin with a great view, friendly outdoor cats, good bathroom and kitchen. We didn’t use the upstairs bed as the ladder seemed a bit daunting in the night. We really enjoyed the house and the yard, and we hope to return.
