Stay in our cozy, heated and well insulated, artsy cabin. 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 pits to enjoy. Marshmallows and roasting sticks provided. The bunkhouse is less than 2 miles to the center of Ithaca where there is plenty to do! including 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 $5 per fire, starters materials included, marshmallows are in the end table drawer! There are roasting sticks near the cabin door and out by the far fire pit. You can select the campfire wood option here or pay in cash in the cabin. Feel free to bring your own fire wood and pay nothing to enjoy a campfire. if you need any help starting a fire, we can help. We have a sweet fluffy orange cat who roams the property. His name is kitty kitty :) He's fearful of dogs, and is wary of visitors since they might be harboring one! If you have a pup with you, please keep them leashed at least around the main house and cabin. We are also have a very sweet dog, Beya-- (pronounced Bay-yuh). She is the nicest person you'd hope to meet and although she may bark a little the first time you come in to use the bathroom she's just letting us know you have arrived- and will be very happy to have you greet her. She doesn't jump up, growl, or have any negative behavior with people --other than getting underfoot in the kitchen!. There isn't a shower included in the stay unless you are here for multiple days and have spoken with us about it...but you can definitely wash up with hot water and soap, in the half bath --hand towel provided. The cabin has air conditioning for summer use so no worries about being too warm to sleep well. (and of course there is electric heat in the winter) The location is Beautiful in all seasons! Cross country skiing is possible in the winter but bring your own gear. ** We have also have for sale our just published 100 Things To Do In Ithaca before You Die-- book, let us know if you want one and we can have one ready for you upon your arrival. 18$ ---see the photo and blurb in photo section of our listing If there's something else you need for your stay, just ask! We are pretty flexible and can probably help out.Stay in our cute, insulated, and artsy cabin, located on a quiet, woodsy dead end road with tons of bird life and acres of nature to enjoy.

Magical Birthday Weekend!

I loved staying at Ithica Artsy Bunkhouse! This place is truly truly special, with a beautiful fire pit and a frog pond :) the space itself is very cozy and very warm—Rob is an awesome host who provides you with everything you need. And the location is stellar—super close to town and not too far from Watkins glen.

Easy access to town. 12 minutes away. Ubers available. Loved the cute cabin and the hosts were very accommodating. 100% will do again and the cost was very reasonable. Thank you!

We had a very brief stay at the Artsy Cabin but it was very comfortable. It’s cozy and welcoming. We did not get a chance to walk the trails by the house but it seems like a great place to explore. Richard has a nice description of places to go and things to see nicely printed out for guests, super helpful!

Cozy cabin in a beautiful scenic area. Felt secluded but it’s really close to town. I booked this pace last minute and Robert was very quick to respond and accommodate. Would definitely stay here again!
