Camping cabins
Her place was idyllic. The bed was cozy and the amenities in the kitchen were amazing. So glad I found this little slice of Heaven and cannot wait to go back.

Off grid tiny playful cabins
Lovely glamping experience
We stayed in the “K-ville hotel” it was very comfortable with a real bed, drain, and mirror. Karenville is super cute with so many cute place to stay and see. Karen is super nice and welcoming, plus the Guinea Pigs made us so happy! Make sure you follow her directions to get there, shes right when you shouldn’t follow your GPS!

Park It - In a tiny silly town
The RV site at Karenville is just a short walk to “town” and sits next to a state forest, perfect for hiking and outdoor activities. However, the real attraction is Karenville itself. Arriving feels like stepping into a whimsical world, reminiscent of Disneyland’s “It’s a Small World.” Built by Karen over the past 15 years, the town is an eclectic and artistic vision with tiny houses, a “café,” and a community kitchen. Karen was a fantastic host, giving us a tour and sharing stories about the village’s creation. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a unique, off-grid experience near Ithaca and the Finger Lakes.

Park It - In a tiny silly town
Magical
Karenville is MAGICAL and everyone, campers and residents alike are so interesting and kind!
There's so much to look at and the property is gorgeous.
Only sad thing is no dogs on Karenville. But pups are welcome outside of the tiny village and there's a comfy spot to park an RV just a little ways up the hill with a great view where dogs can be off leash.
We had a fabulous stay and felt like we made friends. We will be back! Don't miss out.

Park It - In a tiny silly town
Staying in Karenville was delightful! The cottages were cute and cozy and all of the spaces seemed well-maintained. I enjoyed walking around the fields, listening to birds and seeing the sunrise/sunset. Karen made sure we were comfortable by showing us the amenities and making us feel welcome. I was delighted by the rustic style without electricity or water and I had plenty to drink. Thanks Karen!
