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.Our sweet little cabin is about a quarter mile into the forest and will offer total privacy.

We had a great time! We had some pretty chilly nights, but with the woodstove and lots of blankets, we were very comfy. :-) It is a beautiful little cabin. Just remember that you are camping, and try to keep your backpacks off the ground in the cabin and food in your car (or the icebox) to avoid critters like mice from getting into your things. It was also beautiful in the fall, and super easy to find!

Minglewood was wonderful! We ran out of battery power (a mistake on my end) and Emma had it replaced in less than 30 minutes. We felt secluded but safe and comfortable. This getaway was exactly what we needed. We’ll be back for sure. Oh, the hot shower was amazing!

Group trip
We had such a lovely stay at Minglewood! Everything was so charming, and the cabin area was so very well thought out with everything we needed. I particularly loved the outdoor kitchen. It was the perfect location for a girl’s camping weekend. I appreciate all the information and well-thought out instructions from our hosts prior to arrival. Note that the fridge actually functions like a cooler, so bring plenty of ice! There is a small store not terribly far from camp if you need to restock on ice, or any small necessities. Thank you again for welcoming us!

It was a little bit more rustic than what we were expecting. The electric is two lights that are charged with solar powered panels. If we would have known we would have came more prepared. However, it was an amazing little cabin. It was great for the kids and I to relax and unwind before school started. The little creek was perfect for them to play in. I would absolutely love to come back some day.

Great experience!
With pets
Such a lovely little cabin. It was a great *glamping* experience. Nearby we checked out a couple wineries and farm stands, but just mostly relaxed and cooked in the outdoor kitchen. Our dog loved being able to play in the creek. We don’t trust her off leash, so we tied a rope between two of the trees, and she had plenty of room to sniff around. Overall, it was an incredibly comfortable place to stay. I can see this spot being great in any weather condition.
