Underhill Inn is a small homestead located in the Finger Lakes region tucked in the rolling hills near Dryden Lake. We have a small garden, a flock of sheep and chickens, hives of honeybees and countless wild foraging on our 36 acres of pasture and hiking trails.
Take a walk down to Brockendock pond and cruise across the water in a canoe or paddleboat to find peepers, heron, toads and turtles. Drop a line in the water to catch trout, bass and sunnies. The chicken coop is always bustling and there are plenty of eggs to harvest each day. A morning hike on the trails usually kicks up the deer and wild turkeys and at night the barn owl will sing for you if you listen close. Adults and children are welcome to pet and feed the animals on the farm. There are farm tours available where you can learn more about our mushroom garden, composting techniques, blueberries, felting, and more.
This campsite offers a peaceful and private retreat, nestled among nature with a pond, blueberry patches, and rolling fields. Campers appreciate the privacy of the sites and the friendly, accommodating host. The rustic amenities like a spigot shower and compost toilet are part of the charm, catering to those who enjoy a more authentic camping experience. With close proximity to Ithaca and Watkins Glen, it's a convenient spot for exploring the area.
We love camping here. The sites are very spread out so it feels private. Behind the hillside spot there are gorgeous rolling fields that are dream-like in the morning mist.
The tent was very comfortable! They provided a fire pit and charcoal grill, we used both. Canoe rides on the beautiful pond were amazing! Rick was an awesome host and tended to our every need. Thank you Rick!
Rick and his family were great! Very welcoming and we felt at home!
Rick also had great recommendations for hikes and will stop whatever he is doing to accommodate.
