In the heart of the Finger Lakes, just 2 miles from Keuka Lake, our 1840's farm is an ideal basecamp for outdoor adventures and sampling the region's famous wine and cuisine.

Ideas to enjoy our property: touring our farm, hiking, stargazing, birdwatching, eating, reading the latest best seller, board games, writing that novel, resting and relaxing...

I can't recommend this site enough!! The care with which DJ created the camp site was evident everywhere you look.... from the stone fireplace he built with stones from the property, to the lovely wooden shelter that he hand crafted from logs he harvested from the property, the love was evident. He and Sarah are the most zen people. It is impossible not to feel at ease and at home in this lovely spot. Hope many of you get to camp here!!

I loved hearing the resident owl family, the proximity to all things Finger Lakes, and being surrounded by friendly horses, chickens, dogs and cat! The campsite is private and wooded, and the property is on a quiet country road. D.J. is amazingly knowledgeable about the area and can help anyone find fun things to do.
