Great little cabin

The Butternut cabin was a great home base for us to explore the hiking and fishing that the Finger Lakes has to offer. It had everything we needed: A/C, comfy bed, coffee :). Recommend Watkins Glen if you like waterfalls. Have breakfast at Toni's Diner and dinner at Stonecat Cafe, you won't be disappointed!
