Magical property! Great amenities!

This property is truly magical! Where do I begin? Arriving was easy and her instructions were clear. You park a tiny bit away from the cabin but it is only about a 30 second walk and was fine for brining all our things in. The cabin, it is so quaint and beautiful, set on a picturesque meadow. There is beautiful art on the walls, so many windows, so you feel like you’re outside! The cabin has no electric or running water but I barely noticed, as she provides lanterns, there is a big sink with a water jug for drinking water and plenty of well water under the sink for washing dishes. There are plates, and all the utensils/pots/seasoning you need for cooking, and a 2 burner stove, which was very easy to use. There are games, books, she even put some in the outhouse which I loved! The outhouse was great and the woodshavings prevented any odor. At night the entire field twinkles with the most lightning bugs I’ve ever seen. It was so beautiful and felt like a spiritual experience. The wildlife was all enchanting. You could hear frogs singing and little deer and cats scurrying in the field. The campfire was relaxing and easy to make with provided firestarters and wood. The shower was great after we went to the waterfall the host suggested we swim in. It was enough water to clean 2 people thoroughly. I really valued the privacy, that you would not get at a typical camp ground. All and all I would say, if you are looking for a cozy “glamping” experience, this is your place!

Great Cabin in a Perfect Setting

We could not be happier with our visit to the Cabin in the Meadow. The location is not only easy to get to, but the setting is absolutely marvelous. We arrived late on our first night, Jennie was kind enough to leave the lanterns on to help guide our way, and the meadow was filled with thousands of lightening bugs to welcome us. The Cabin is wonderful. It was everything we needed for a weekend away. With plenty of kitchen items, a comfortable bed, and plenty of space, and incredibly clean and tidy it made for the perfect base camp for a weekend of hiking. The location can not be beat. This cabin is minutes from Lucifer Falls, a short drive to Watkins Glen, and countless other hiking trails. We found this to be the perfect location to enjoy all of the wonderful outdoor adventure spots the region has to offer. Last but not least! Jennie is a fantastic Camp Host. She responded quickly to all of our questions and provided a delightful weekend location for us.

The cabin in the meadow is a delightful place to stay. It is extremely private, quiet and conveniently located to the beautiful nearby state parks and Ithaca. Jennie was super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend a stay at the cabin.
