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. An ideal, private location for a family reunion or weekend with friends. You will have 35 acres all to yourself with unique camping spots, playhouse, 20x30 party tent, swimming pond and much more! Kid-friendly! Water and composting toilets on site.

Hilltop Campsite

Lovely

We love camping here. The sites are very spread out so it feels private. Behind the hillside spot there are gorgeous rolling fields that are dream-like in the morning mist.

Pond Side Bell Tent

Great camping spot

The tent was very comfortable! They provided a fire pit and charcoal grill, we used both. Canoe rides on the beautiful pond were amazing! Rick was an awesome host and tended to our every need. Thank you Rick!

Hilltop Campsite

Picture Perfect

My son and I were looking for an alternative to one of the state campgrounds while visiting my daughter in Ithaca. We sure did find it! You can drive up to and park right at the site to the remote spot without having to pack in. As others have said, you don’t even notice other campers there as you are far enough apart with no direct line of site. The composting toilet is continently located, yet hidden out of the way. At night from the top of the Hilltop Campsite we had a perfect unobstructed view of a meteor shower. During the day, we used the provided canoe and had a great time fishing the pond catching and releasing many bass. (Life jackets were available in different sizes). We highly enjoyed our visit and look to return again in the future.
