Very nice multi-bedroom cabins

This is a convenient place to stay if you are visiting the Cayuga Lake area, especially the wine trail. Be aware that their policy is to provide only one towel per person. If you are going to swim, definitely bring towels, as you are not supposed to take them off the property.

This cabin was great, exactly what we were looking for in a quick weekend trip upstate. Love that it’s dog friendly, our pup enjoyed it as well. So close to all the Vineyards around which also allow dogs, and Taughannock Falls State Park.
