Gorgeous Hilltop Paradise with epic views and swimming pond

Immerse youself in nature while staying in an artistically-built cabin with modern ammenities. Enjoy distant views of hills through huge windows overlooking a swimming pond. It's a retreat for every season, featuring beautiful fall foliage, cross-country skiing and a lush and picturesque spring and summer. The house features a round kitchen and bedroom with a vaulted ceiling. Enjoy a giant view of the sky, fire by the pond, the sound of frogs, meditate, relax, or … work!

The space
Rustic and creative with the comfort of a modern kitchen and bathroom. 30 minute proximity to Ithaca, Watkins Glen and the wine trails. Swim in our beautiful pond. We just put in a new dock. It’s 15 ft. Deep in the middle - you can dive off the dock! Our home is also on the property.

Guest access
Walk, hike, run, snow-shoe, cross-country ski, mountain bike - so many options!

Other things to note:
We have three outdoor cats that live on the porch of the studio behind the cabin. They are all very friendly!
No hunting or ATVs are permitted on our property.
Our land on Nobles Hill is sacred to our family and friends! Please respect the land and property.
_____________

The garden shed, studio, greenhouse and gardens are all private property and not meant to be accessed as part of the vacation rental. Our neighbors are friends so please respect quiet hours after 10pm. There are no parties allowed on the property.

MODEM/WIFI
The modem/wifi is located in the living room in the nook next to the table. If you don't recall the network name and password from this listing, it is printed on the side of the modem. Please always keep the modem/wifi plugged in, even if you ar not using it.

WATER/HOT WATER/GARDEN SPICKET
Our water comes from a well and is safe to drink out of the tap. Sometimes the water is a little sulfury. The hot water comes from an on-demand heater. There is nothing to turn on. Because it's an on-demand system, it sometimes takes a minute or two before heating up to full temperature. There is a water spicket outside near the parking area. If you use it, please turn it on very gently and keep it at a low flow. Never turn up the garden spicket to it's highest flow point.

Fire Pit
There is a fire pit that is available for use. Please use your own wood. The wood underneath the studio behind the cabin is not available.

CHECK OUT
When you check out, please load and start the dishwasher. There is dishwasher soap underneath the sink. Pile all dirty towels and wash cloths in the shower. Please strip the beds and leave the sheets and pillow cases on the floor. Please put all furniture and accessories back in their orignal locations. Also, please leave garbage and recycling inside the house.

Heavenly, with frogs
David’s cabin was quirky in the best way—lovingly built and furnished, with all the fluffy towels and kitchen goods we needed for a short stay. The grounds were serene and delightful, with a rainbow of birds and wildflowers, three friendly cats, fireflies, and some raucous nocturnal frogs that were easily drowned out with the provided fans. The perfect quiet (except those frogs!) country retreat. Note: the cabin is on a gravel road; our rental car seems to have emerged unscathed.

Eclectic decor, comfortable cabin with a great view, friendly outdoor cats, good bathroom and kitchen. We didn’t use the upstairs bed as the ladder seemed a bit daunting in the night. We really enjoyed the house and the yard, and we hope to return.

Cozy rustic abode
Small but cozy. Lots of nice rustic touches. If in summer heat wave, can be hot in loft bed (otherwise quite comfortable). Didn’t use kitchen but seems quite well stocked snd laid out. Supremely quiet with well-working windows/screens, letting in lots of natural light. Host amiable and responsive. Highly recommend

Peaceful haven off the beaten path. We were lucky enough to have spectacular weather and spent lazy afternoon hours reading by the pond to the sound of crickets and birds and sipping coffee on the porch in the morning. A quaint and well appointed cabin - and wonderful communication from the host. Looking forward to getting back there soon…

AMAZING get away
This cozy cabin was perfect. The description is spot on. We enjoyed the quiet peaceful nature while relaxing from the hustle/bustle of everyday life. The wood fired sauna next to the pond was a great way to unwind. There was everything you needed from linens/towels, cookware and WIFI (for the occasional Netflix watching ((bring your own device))! ☺️(And we had a teenager with us). The owners were very quick to respond to any of my questions/concerns. We would recommend 100%.

Great for a Couple
My fiancé and I were visiting the area for a fall getaway. The cabin itself is very nice. While a little tough to locate in the dark, the location is advertised. Would highly recommend for a couple or small family.
