Perfect 5 year anniversary Getaway

This property was beautiful, located just a stone throw from the lakes edge. The owners were extremely friendly, the type of friendly you can only find in a small town. They gave excellent recommendations, we ate at both the Scale House and Babes Burgers during our visit. We enjoyed smores and coffee by the fire pit. All we could hear was the hundreds of birds, perfect place to get away. I feel like the photos on the listing dont capture the charm of the cabin so i took some myself. Thanks again Susan & Henry

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!

Peaceful

Butternut Camp was perfect for the two of us. It had all the amenities we needed. Loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the quiet. Easily accessible to the activities on Seneca Lake.

Incredibly Relaxing and Beautiful

The cabin itself and the property was an oasis in itself. Amenities made us comfortable while enjoying the nature. Visited close by breweries and vineyards; hiked in Watkins Glen. Everything was a short drive and easily accessible. Would come again!

Perfect home away from home

This was the cutest, cleanest little cabin. The owners Sue and Henry are very friendly. They make sure you have all the essentials you need. My husband loved it and can't wait to hopefully book it again in the future. It was exactly what we needed.

Great Location on Peach Orchard Point!

Sue and Henry were wonderful hosts! The property offered a great location with everything you could want. A family could stay comfortably with full size sleep sofa, loft and the bedroom. the kitchen was well assorted if you wanted to cook or grill. Great porch with outdoor dining, and fire pit is also available, although we didn't use it. Wonderful Finger Lakes location near many wineries, close to Ithaca. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect Place to Sleep and Unwind

We enjoyed our time at the lake. As others have noted, the surroundings are a bit cluttered with the barn. However, all of one’s needs are evident in the tiny cabin—it enabled us to spend 5 wonderful days in the Finger Lakes region with little worry about anything related to accommodations. Thank you

Wonderful Property

This property is just charming and so cozy! It is in excellent condition, clean and everything was working. It is stocked with everything I needed. They provided coffee, creamer, butter which was a nice touch. The porch is wonderful to sit on and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the wonderful sounds of nature. Communication was excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

Quiet and comfortable

We had a great stay at Butternut Camp. It is very quiet and away from the crowds. It's a little closer to other buildings than the photos show but, other than Sue stopping by, we didn't see anyone the entire time we were there. It's close to Watkins Glen and an easy drive to Ithaca. The owners were great to work with and recommended Toni's Diner in Hector which turned out to be absolutely excellent for breakfast. The cabin is small but is clean, comfortable and well supplied and was perfect for the two of us.

Butternut camp is by far one of the best places we’ve stayed on our twice a year trips to the finger lakes! The location is perfect, and the cozy cabin is absolutely adorable! Very comfortable for two and immaculate! It was a pleasure meeting and talking with Henry, our host! I can honestly say we have found our “ go to” place to stay for our future trips! Thank you Sue and Henry for sharing your beautiful home with us. We will most definitely be back. Jim and Julie S.

Nice cabin

After we were able to locate it, by asking a neighbor, we moved in for the weekend. We were attending the Pickin`in the Pasture Bluegrass Festival up in Lodi, so we were only there at night. Bed was comfortable, although room was barely big enough for the bed, but kitchen and living area very livable. Bathroom, however, was small and cramped. We lovingly called it a Hobbit House. We overall liked it and will probably return for next year's Festival

Butternut Camp is the perfect weekend getaway

My husband and I are repeat guests of Butternut Camp. It was perfect for our three night long weekend in the FLX region. the large covered porch was perfect at night to sit, sip wine and listen to nature. It is in a perfect location to be near great wineries, restaurants, the lake, Smith Memorial Park, and only minutes from Watkins Glen. We got to meet Henry when we checked in this time. What a nice friendly man. The house was spic and span clean. Decorated with woodsy decor. We will definitely look into booking again for another trip up the area.

Convenient Location to Beach and Watkins Glen

I was in town for a quiet weekend away and I got just that. This cabin is easy to get to, very close to Smith Memorial Park to actually get in Lake Seneca on a hot day, and convenient to wineries (if that's your main reason for being in the Finger Lakes). Check in was quick and easy. AC was nice and cool and speedy - cooled the place down so quickly. The bed was very soft and comfy. The only issue I had was the internet kept going down, especially if I had multiple devices connected. I wasn't there to watch much TV but that was when I really noticed it being slow, or kicking me off. The provided sugar, coffee and fresh half/half was a nice touch.

Beautifull getaway

Was a wonderfull little place perfect for the wife mostly quiet and cozy. Perfect if your gunna do a wine tasting tour or explore the many brewery in the area. Some things to note the door way is camper sized (I'm a pretty big guy) the location isn't bad but there is allot of traffic. And the storage shed that blocks allot of the view is frequented daily while we were there. It's a non issue for most but as a Corrections officer I was doing my best to avoid people on my vacation. All said and done I would absolutely go back and will be much more happy knowing the area and what to expect better my review may be critical but I truly loved and enjoyed my time.
