We loved staying here! This little cabin was jam packed with everything we needed for a home base while visiting the Finger Lakes region. A well equipped kitchen with sharp knives, a s'mores kit (we used the fire pit but this was a cute and nice perk if you didn't want to build a fire) and as someone who cooks, we appreciated the kitchen space and outdoor gas grill a lot! This cabin is tiny but seriously had everything we needed and was very affordable. We enjoyed the area as well and thought the locals were friendly and the Lake was nice and calm for kayaking and water sports.
