Ithaca Artsy Bunkhouse
1 site · Lodging2 acres · Ithaca, NY
Stay in our cozy, heated and insulated, artsy bunkhouse. We're located on a quiet woodsy dead end street with tons of bird life and acres of nature to enjoy. Walking trails are right out the back gate! There is also frog pond and campfire pit to enjoy. Marshmallows provided.
The bunkhouse is less than 2 miles to the center of Ithaca where there is plenty to do! including the taking advantage of the new bike share program and waterfront trails. Definitely come hungry, Ithaca has more restaurants per capita than NYC and LA.!!
Were also just 12 min across town to Cornell University and Ithaca College and 5-20 minutes from numerous amazing waterfalls.
The available half bathroom is in the main house, just seconds from the cabin and is open to use 24 hrs.
The heated bunkhouse has 2 twin mattresses in the loft, and several blankets and pillows, but you need to BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS and pillow CASES as you wish.
Firewood is $5 per fire, starters materials included, marshmallows are in the end table drawer! there are roasting sticks out by the fire pit.
You can select the campfire wood option here or pay in cash in the cabin.
Feel free to bring your own fire wood and pay nothing to enjoy a campfire.
if you need any help starting a fire, we can help.
We have a sweet fluffy orange cat who roams the property. His name is kitty kitty :) He's fearful of dogs, and is wary of visitors since they might be harboring one! If you have a pup with you, please keep them leashed at least around the main house and cabin.
We are also fostering our adult daughter's very sweet dog Beya-- (pronounced Bay-yuh). She is the nicest person you'd hope to meet and although she may bark a little the first time you come in to use the bathroom she's just letting us know you have arrived- and will be very happy to have you greet her. She doesn't jump up, growl, or have any negative behavior with people other than getting underfoot in the kitchen!.
There isn't a shower included in the stay unless you are here for multiple days and have spoken with us about it...but you can definitely wash up with hot water and soap, in the half bath --hand towel provided.
The cabin has air conditioning for summer use So no worries about being too warm to sleep well. (and heat in the winter)
The location is Beautiful in all seasons!
Cross country skiing is possible in the winter but bring your own gear.. (we did not do a rink this year)
If there's something else you need for your stay, just ask! We are pretty flexible and can probably help out.

Villa Villa Bula near Buttermilk
4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · Ithaca, NY
This land was once owned by Mr King (West King Road) There are many tiny houses on it built on this roadin the 1940's
for the stone quarry workers who build the gorge trails in the area. I bought 3 little houses here and 4 acres of land in 2002. I mowed a labyrinth in about an acre. I hope to add more to it as time goes on!
Learn more about this land:
The Villa Cocoon is a step up from camping -insulated with electric,a fan, a portable heater, bed & table. It can be used any time of year if you don't mind stomping through snow in the winter. Located near the fire pit and house. There's a nature trail on the property - it's a short walk to Upper Buttermilk and the gorge trail as well as the Fingerlake's trail! It's a space to reflect, cocoon, do a little art and reading...collage supplies and paint included as well as sampling essential oils and tea.
Keep in mind there is NO BATHROOM... just a pee bucket under the bed that you will empty & rinse out. Many use the nearby gas station or cafe. There's a washroom and eco bags & powder as back up. You can also arrange for bathroom usage in my house if your staying awhile.
YOU WILL need to bring -
Bedding - sheets, pillows, blankets or a sleeping bag.
A mug to help yourself to tea
Please, bring any garbage made with you.
I look forward to sharing my space which I have enjoyed myself, practicing music and art, reading and writing for self-care and growth. I really love the energy in it and feel such a small space holds people in a cozy and comfortable way.

Underhill Forest and Farm
6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents36 acres · Dryden, NY
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.

Minglewood Camp
2 sites · Lodging90 acres · Trumansburg, NY
Both my husband Ben, and I are natives to the Fingerlakes region. We are nature lovers and enjoy , (Love) camping. When this property became available to us we couldn't help visualize our dream camp spot. We decided to make a go for it. The frontage of the property is a small mobile home park which truly reminded us of a quaint camp community we had just visited in Canada. After exploring the 90 acres of hardwood forest beyond the park we realized an eco friendly camp ground was exactly what the property needed. Ben sourced only local wood for the cabin and used all natural building materials. No plastic anywhere! our hope is that people who need a break from the hustle of daily life can visit Minglewwood and enjoy some serenity.Our sweet little cabin is about a quarter mile into the forest. You will have total privacy. The cabin sits beside a little creek which runs till late summer depending on rain. There is 90 acres of beautiful forest to explore. The stunning Finger lakes are only a short drive as well as the impressive Gorges that surround the area. You will find no shortage of natural beauty when you visit Minglewood camp.

Glamping near Ithaca guide
Overview
In the heart of the Finger Lakes region, Ithaca rewards visitors with waterfall hikes, sublime fall foliage, and relaxing days on Cayuga Lake. There are numerous glamping options in and around town, from yurts and tiny homes to log cabins and Airstreams. Each glamping campsite is one-of-a-kind, but many feature amenities like air conditioning, wifi, fire pits, and hot tubs. Once you've secured your glampsite, water lovers don't have to travel far from Ithaca for action—Buttermilk Falls State Park is right in town, and Robert H. Treman State Park features a waterfall you can swim below. The spectacular Letchworth State Park (“the Grand Canyon of the East”) and Watkins Glen State Park (featuring 19 waterfalls) are also worth the day trip. Ithaca itself boasts a seasonal weekend farmers market, plenty of wine tasting rooms to sample the region's famed Riesling, and kayak and canoe outfitters for days on the lake.
