Recently Renovated 3 BR (Jewel) in the Heart of Finger Lakes

We are Vrbo Premier Host and our cabins are located on Italy Hill, in the heart of the Finger Lakes, in Yates County NY. Italy Hill is the 33rd highest peak in NYS.

We are an easy 20 minute drive from Keuka and Canandaigua lakes which have multiple boat launches and stores for renting water toys. We are close to many good restaurants and to shopping.

There are also 3000 acres of state land and parks within minutes for the outdoors-man/woman and for the serious hiker to explore. Our recently renovated two story cabin is situated on 1.8 acres with all amenities provided for a stress free vacation.

Enjoy your coffee in the morning with deer, turkey and a number of other wildlife species right off one of the cabins' three porches. Enjoy a nice bon fire while taking in the unbelievable beauty of the areas night sky.

The cabin has two BRs upstairs with queen size beds and a downstairs 3rd BR has a trundle bed with two twin size mattress. The full bathroom has plenty of room for the morning rush with pine accents throughout.

The living room has a large screen TV with Roku stick. Both upstairs BRs have a TV with local stations. There is also fiber optic WiFi. So please come stay with us and enjoy our beautiful countryside and what the area has to offer.

There’s just too much to do, be it hiking, fishing, wineries, antique shopping, you name it. Most cell phones will work at the cabin, depending on your provider and the weather but if you need a signal, one typically can get it on the road or a short distance down it.

The cabins’ driveway can comfortably hold two or three cars or more if you don’t mind backing out of the driveway. Trucks with boats in tow are fine too. We have a grill for cooking steaks on the porch after a hard day enjoying the finger lakes or guest can cook inside with a fully functional kitchen with stove, refrigerator and microwave.

Branchport and Keuka Lake State Park is a 10 minute drive, as is Prattsburgh. Naples is 15 minutes away and Penn Yan about 20. All three have Dollar and general stores for buying groceries. Penn Yan is the biggest town, with a cinema and more choices than the other area towns. However, one can’t beat Joseph’s fruit stand in Naples for freshly cooked pies, cakes, and bread as well as awesome fruits and veggies, as well as Lynnie Lou’s ice cream but Penn Yan has buckwheat pan cakes, Indian Pines Farm market and two ice cream stores, Seneca Farms and Macs Dairy bar! Oh the choices!

Please check out our other cabins, "The Green, Green Grass of Home", Vrbo I.D. no. 9457683. This cabin is also newly renovated and can hold up to 6 guests. Our couples retreat is the "Fox in the Henhouse", Vrbo property I.D. no. 7689244ha. Its 100% newly remodeled and sleeps up to 5 guests.

Fantastic Getaway
The hosts have really provided a full package with this one! Lovely location, especially if you want to be just a bit secluded, excellent amenities, and top notch communication. Fair warning: do not take Burke Hill Road, even if it is faster. They had it mentioned in their booklet but the extra five minutes is worth it.

Nice Stay for the Eclipse
My friends and I stayed here for a few nights as a base to see the eclipse. The cabin had the essentials and is located in a nice, quiet location. Internet is extremely fast and the water was fine once it had been run a little while (as the host mentions). Be aware that the second queen is not in a bedroom - no door/privacy from downstairs and is walk-through to the main bedroom. Kitchen is also not stocked for any meaningful cooking.

Cabin on the Range
Property was as described. All necessary items were provided. Well maintained property. We were able to explore in town and shop, we enjoyed the fall colors, being outdoors and having a fire. Our second day was raining and the cabin was perfectly cozy! Great place to hang out and relax with friends. It was just what we needed and what we were looking for! I would come here again.

Not a pleasing experience - we left a day before our stay was to end
Location was very nice but Initially had trouble locating- only one 4”x4” post and 3024 was very hard to read; main problem was with the water (had signs that they had to drill a new well) could not flush the toilet more than once without waiting for water tank (or whatever) to refill we were afraid to take a shower in case the water ran out before we were done - so no showers during our stay; were unable to use second floor bedrooms because the steps were not suitable for 80+ year olds even though we have no handicaps - therefore husband slept in top of trundle bed and wife slept on the large sofa; the heater in the living room is very noisy especially if you have to sleep in there and the smell emitting from it smelled like a dead mouse; there was a loose board in bathroom; cabin floor slants at an angle from kitchen into living room; and the Roku programming is something we never experienced (had to watch The Beverly Hillbillies) and couldn’t even get the Phillies playoff game - your WiFi was excellent and we enjoyed the electric fireplace in the entry room.

A nice weekend getaway
Came here for just a weekend of wine tasting, hiking and good food. Was much cheaper than a hotel which was a plus. Cabin is remote there's no doubt about it but was neat for sure. We travelled to Canadaguia for dinner which was a hike. Plus the road isn't paved so don't expect to come home with a clean car especially if it rains which it did while we were there. Wi-fi was a little spotty at times. One complaint would be the lighting in the kitchen and bathroom. Also saw some cobwebs under the windows in bathroom. Bed was comfy. Would stay there again.

The best place to rest with the family
In general, our family had a nice experience renting this cabin, the owners were very attentive, they gave us all the necessary information to feel at home, the cabin has everything we need to spend a few quiet and comfortable days, as well as a lot of information about spectacular places to visit we went to Keuca spring vineyard to relax and have delicious wine with the best view of the lake Keuca. I recommend it as well as watkins glen and letchworth state parks we had the best views. Overall the finger lakes are the best place to go on vacation. Once again we thank you Gary and Dawn for your attention and we hope to return very soon. Ed, Denis. daf and eddie

Exceeded Expectations
Plenty of room to move around, inside and out. The interior is deceptively spacious with lots of character. We brought about 15 board games and had plenty of room on the main table to play. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. I cannot think of any negatives. We will absolutely be coming her again soon!

A Diamond On The Finger Lakes (I know…best I can do… :/ )
This cabin was a delightful surprise! We’ve stayed at other VRBO cabins and this one - BY FAR - is the nicest. The hosts asked for an honest review so here it is: 1. Don’t drive in on the “Seasonal” road. It’s really rough and we were in a truck. The hosts provide directions for access on much better roads so go that way instead. 2. Bring bottled water. The hosts explained the water situation and yes, it can be “eggy” due to sulfur. However, the smell goes away shortly after using the water so it was really nothing to worry about. Other than that, the cabin was absolutely terrific! Besides having anything and everything you might need for your stay, the atmosphere is very welcoming and homelike. Whoever did the design and decor did a fabulous job, it’s really perfect for a cabin, so hats off to her (or him…but I’m guessing her lol). There are way too many great touches to list. All in all, it’s no wonder these hosts are Premier Hosts, I would stay on any property they offered. I hope they do more!

Well-maintained property; some drawbacks
Positives: Clean, well-maintained space with decent amenities for a very reasonable price. Helpful to have washer and dryer. Hosts were responsive beforehand and provided useful, detailed information for our stay. Drawbacks: Just one window AC, in downstairs. We were there on seasonably hot summer days (highs in the 80s) and the upstairs bedrooms were very warm, one so much so that it was too uncomfortable to stay in. Luckily our family could make do with the other two bedrooms, but not all guests could. Also, the description mentions 1.8 acres, but we expected/hoped more of it would be accessible. The usable outdoor space is largely limited to the mowed area right outside. Neutral: Could be a positive or negative depending on personal preference, but the property is more isolated than we realized. Accessible only via gravel road, and vicinity is entirely farmland. Good if you’re looking for peace and quiet!

Camping alternative
Visited the cottage for 4th of July weekend with my husband, two kids and my parents. We've been to the area before camping, so this was a nice upgrade. The house was very clean, nice comfortable beds, electric fireplace was a plus! Check in was fast and easy and communication with the host was very efficient as well. Despite the rainy weather we visited Watkins Glen, letchworth falls and stony falls. All highly recommend if you enjoy falls, nature and hiking. Lake Keuka is just 15 minutes away and nice for swimming, fishing, bbq… overall a great experience. Thank you for hosting us!

Wonderful Finger Lake vaction
The fun for us began on the drive north from Maryland. The roads were very quiet and the scenery picturesque, making for a great welcome to the area. The cabin and setting were excellent. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay. There are three decked areas by each door giving different views to sit out at each evening. The back deck has a grill overlooking a large yard with fire pit. The fire pit is deep too, and that's great for windier days, which are the best days for sitting at the fire because the wind keeps the occasional mosquitoes away. Sitting out back, some evenings you can see miles into the distant hills, and others you’re blanketed in cloud, giving the night sky a cool eerie feel. Sitting out at the right time you can quickly go from one to the other, with stars coming and going late at night, creating a wonderful show of nature. Light pollution minimal so bring your telescope if you have. The location is perfect as a jump point for other day trips. We took one to Niagara Falls which was just 2.5 hours away. Keuka Lake State Park is the closest lake and has a public swimming area that our son loved. We also visited a few of the local towns, including Penn Yan which has some nice restaurants and a bowling alley. One thing you appreciate when you're away from the big cities is how cheap bowling can be! Overall, we hope to be back. The cabin again is excellent, but the location for us was perfect. Great piece of land in a beautiful area. Thanks!
