Cute and cozy spot

We took a weekend trip up to the finger lakes and this was the perfect spot! It was right in the middle of everything we were looking for. Tamara was great and super helpful. The place was super clean and cozy and just the right size for a couples getaway! We had a great time! Definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

Hidden Gem

This property is a hidden gem! We weren’t sure that we were in the right place initially as there weren’t any signs directing us where to go on the property, which has multiple buildings. Once we realized that we were indeed in the right spot, we had a wonderful stay. The property was super clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It’s close to the wineries and all that the area has to offer. Highly recommend!

Anniversary Getaway!

A weekend away! Great location to wineries, breweries, restaurants, and the lakes. Nice and quiet property. Comfy bed. Only area of improvement would be their AC unit. A mini split may have worked better to keep the unit cooler. I would also say the property needs to be sprayed for insects. We saw a few large spiders during our stay. Overall great weekend away. Tammy was so hospitable and easy to work with!

This place is perfect for a quiet getaway in the finger lakes area. Convenient to all the wineries and lake activities as well as the finger lakes trail and hiking. The host is very responsive and the place was super cute. We would stay here again.

This is a quaint little hideaway not far from Seneca Lake, wineries, Watkins Glen, hiking, and waterfalls. We were visiting the area for Cornell graduation and our anniversary. It’s about 30 minutes to Ithaca, and about 15 minutes to Watkins Glen. The property is very secluded. We weren’t sure we were at the right place at first! Even though there is also an upstairs apartment, it felt very private. We enjoyed coffee on the covered back deck and walked on the mowed trails through the property. So many lovely birds were singing and wildflowers were blooming. A great escape from busy work life!

We’ve stayed in both units now and both are lovely and quiet. Close to many of our favorite wineries, although I also highly recommend Finger Lakes Designated Drivers if you want to drink and stay safe.

Peaceful and Private Retreat

Tamara's lovely restored barn is the perfect retreat for those looking to relax and unwind. With a bunch of thoughtful (and stylish) amenities included — like bath robes, soft cozy throws and plush linens — you felt like you were at a boutique hotel. But when you stepped outside you were surrounded by nature — birds chirping, the sounds of the breeze through the birch trees, trails to meander about the property. Even a dedicated, secluded space to roll out a yoga mat and get in your daily practice. It truly was the best of both worlds. We spent a good amount of time out on the back patio — the perfect spot for your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. I highly recommend Tamara's getaway if you are looking to be close to wineries, restaurants (can't say enough about StoneCat Cafe) and town (it was a short drive into Watkins Glen). The perfect location, with the perfect touches.

Perfect for two!

My husband and I stayed in the first floor unit for a few nights over the July fourth weekend. The place is adorable and very comfortable. The bed is SO comfy and the whole place we very clean. The location (IMO) is perfect! Close enough to town but far away enough to be super quiet and private. There’s a convenient store and gas station 5 minutes away. The trails off the property are beautiful too! We loved using the fire pit and grill out back as well. This is a 10/10

Perfect Anniversary Get-away!

We visited the Finger Lakes for the first time in July for our ten year anniversary. Our vacations are usually more rustic and we love being surrounded by nature rather than a lot of business, but this time I also wanted to little bit of modern feel since we were going to be kid free for the first time in years. Cherry Blossom was the perfect combination! It was close enough to the wineries and Watkins Glen and Ithaca that we were anything but bored. But when we returned in the evening, it was peaceful, comfortable and cozy. The hosts were amazing; we had a death in the family the week we were going to travel and they were so great to communicate with as we figured out arrangements and how to still make the trip happen. I'm so thankful for their understanding and personal touches. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Finger Lakes!
