Perfect hideaway!
My family of four had a perfect vacation at the Hideaway! The cabin was very clean and well equipped with kitchen equipment and bathroom necessities. It was the perfect home base to explore the finger lakes! We ended each day by the fire pit. The property is beautifully lit with LED cafe lights; it was magical! Very easy communication with the property manager. Thanks for a great vacation!

Retirement Celebration Getaway
The Hideaway Cabin was perfect for our old neighborhood friend’s reunion. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and early morning coffee on the decks. The outdoor lighting set a great backdrop for cornhole, music and cocktails. The beds were so comfortable with luxurious linens. Dan was super available for all our questions. Just a fantastic weekend.

Just what we needed!
The Retreat was exactly that for me and my family; a place to decompress from our busy lives and jobs. The surrounding forest and silence worked perfectly for us. A week of sitting around a firepit, playing board games, and sneaking into Hammondsport or Watkins Glen for a quiet dinner or a little browsing made for the perfect family vacation.
