My husband and I bought our camp property when our children were young, and our kids grew up there. Between frog-catching contests, paddle boats, picnics, dirt biking, bonfires, camp outs, and the occasional wedding it was our special getaway. Now that the kids are growing up and going out on adventures of their own, we decided it's time we share our little piece of heaven with others, and so here we are, meeting new people from all over the world, making new connections, and enjoying the opportunity to share this beautiful woodland and pond property that we've been blessed with. We'd love for YOU to come enjoy a stay at this whimsical, delightful, sacred place.

With kids
This is a really wonderful spot. It was so relaxing to be there and everything was clean and comfortable. I would recommend bringing flip flops or slippers to wear during the night in between the tent and bathroom. I forgot mine but picked some up at the local store. My family and I loved spending the weekend here! Definitely one of our favorite spots.

Weekend Trip to Trees and Dreams
Staying here was such a great experience! The tent and surrounding property are stunning! A cart was provided to wheel out things to the tent. There was a composting toilet, fire pit and picnic table near the tent. It was so nice looking out at the pond and hearing the bull frogs. Away from it all yet about 10 mins into Naples. Plus, the bed was very comfy!

1 night at Vixen Vacations
We had an awesome night in the Bungalow! Breonna and her husband had the tent set up with everything we needed for the night. We had a welcome basket with toiletries, firewood and plenty of room to explore. Having the outdoor kitchen and bathroom sitting right next to the tent was perfect as well. We would love a return visit and would highly recommend staying.

The best bell tents in Finger Lakes guide
Where to go
Seneca Lake
The largest of the Finger Lakes has forest hiking trails, patchwork vineyards, and farm-to-table dining experiences right at its fingertips. Once you've gone wine hopping along the largest of the Finger Lakes wine trails, marveled at the waterfalls in Watkins Glen State Park, and enjoyed boating around Sampson State Park, check into a state park campground or book an RV park around Seneca Falls or Geneva.
Cayuga Lake
An 87-mile scenic byway loops around Cayuga Lake, affording panoramic views over the lake and the surrounding wine country. At the southern tip, Ithaca is the gateway to Buttermilk Falls State Park and Taughannock Falls State Park, while the nearby Finger Lakes National Forest is the ideal spot for a backcountry camping experience—dispersed camping is permitted throughout.
Western Lakes
West of Seneca Lake, there are plenty of ways to get on the water at Keuka, Canandaigua, and Honeoye lakes. Camp amid the vineyards at Keuka Lake State Park, check into an RV resort at Naples or Hammondsport, or escape the crowds at the Honeoye Lake boat launch. Further west, Letchworth State Park is home to the "Grand Canyon of the East," where its waterfalls and forests are most magnificent during fall foliage season.
Eastern Lakes
Syracuse is the entry point to Finger Lakes' eastern corner, where you'll find Owasco, Skaneateles, and Otisco lakes. Swimming and water skiing are popular pastimes at Owasco Lake, and there's a great campground and swimming pool at Fillmore Glen State Park. If you’re seeking peace and quiet, neighboring Skaneateles is a tranquil spot for boating.
