Newly Renovated Rustic Cabin w\/WiFi in the Heart of the Finger Lakes
About this cabin rental
NOTE: Yes, we are open for business. Our cabins are located in the heart of the Finger Lakes, Yates County NY. Area shop and restaurant owners are abiding by Covid requirements while still providing a positive and safe experience for the vacationer. We have increased our cabin disinfection procedures and hope you’ll consider joining us soon to experience the beautiful scenery of this picturesque area for yourselves. Now on to our cabin. The "Green, Green Grass of Home" is a newly renovated rustic cabin that is similar to many cabins, cottages and homes in rural western NY. Its exterior siding is known as "Board and Batten". Board and Batten is a type of exterior siding or interior paneling that has alternating wide boards and narrow wooden strips, called "battens." The boards are usually (but not always) 1 foot wide. The boards may be placed horizontally or vertically. What's unique about our Board and Batten is that the lumber is "Rough Cut" and comes from a local Amish saw mill and not from a big box store. You'll see this type of exterior siding all throughout NY and the northeast on homes and barns. The interior of the cabin has new flooring throughout, either bamboo or vinyl. New lighting and a new kitchen counter top, along with new internal and external paint and a fresh new front and back deck for your sitting pleasure. The cabin has two bedrooms (sleeps 2 each) and also a pull out couch which can sleep up to two (2) additional adults. Once you step inside the cabin you'll see and feel "Country". There's pine ceilings and a custom made island for sitting around and discussing the days events or for just sipping coffee first thing in the morning. The island is adorned with drift wood and wooden limbs from our property behind the cabin, which gives the cabin a very rustic, and comfortable feeling of relaxation. This replaces a traditional kitchen table and chairs in the cabin. The Green, Green Grass of Home is actually the last home on Emerson Road and just beyond it, the road becomes "Seasonal". What seasonal means is that from November 1st to April 1st of each year, the road beyond our cabin is not maintained by the township but the portion of the road to our cabin is maintained year round. Therefore, you'll find the location very peaceful, quite and relaxing. Our cabins are accessible by all vehicles, not just trucks or SUV's. The road is gravel and can have ruts and holes in it during the spring and fall rainy season but anyone driving with normal care will not have an issue traveling to the cabin. It’s approximately 2 miles off the main road. At night, feel free to sit around the fire ring and stare up at the millions of stars above you after hiking many of the local trails to see the beauty of our Finger Lakes region. The location is very quite and private. If hear a noise, it’s probably one of a local farmers' tractor as they work on one of the many area fields getting them ready for the spring planting or the fall harvest. Growing up on a farm literally just down the road with my parents, four sisters and brother, the only vacation our family ever went on was during winter recess from school. My grandparents were "Snow Birds" and they traveled to Florida every winter, so during the school break, my parents would load up the Kingswood Station Wagon and we'd head off to FL counting telephone poles and looking at the different license plates along the way, trying to find a license plate from each state. It was a long 20 hour car ride with complaining kids who wanted to stop at "Reptile World" or at "South of the Border", so it was no wonder that on our way home from visiting my grandparents, as soon as we made it back in to NY my mom would start singing the song "The Green, Green Grass of Home". This country song originally was made popular by Porter Wagoner in 1965, when it reached No. 4 on the country charts. That same year, it was also sung by Bobby Bare and by Jerry Lee Lewis, who included it in his album Country Songs for City Folks (later re-issued as All Country). Next, Tom Jones learned the song from Lewis' version, and in 1966, he had a worldwide No. 1 hit with it. Whenever we heard our mother start to sing that song, we knew we'd be home in an hour and whatever ruckus we were causing would stop and we'd look out the window quietly reflecting on the past several days and just waiting to get home to sleep in our own beds.

We had a great ladies weekend. We enjoyed the quiet wilderness feel of the location. The cabin was cozy and comfy.
The only drawback of the cabin was that there is not a walkway/sidewalk from the driveway to the cabin. It has been raining all day and our feet and pants were wet, and we brought grass into the cabin.
Overall, we enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay there again.

Enjoyed the solitude and quite of this cabin. It is just what my wife and I needed to escape the everyday hustle bustle. The cabin is off the beaten path but no more than an hour's drive to the tips of Seneca lake and beyond. Perfect place to take in the sounds of nature and relax.

All amenities and descriptions given by host were 100% accurate! Internet/Wi-Fi was incredibly faster than what was expected. From the moment we arrived to the check out process all instructions and feed back from host were easy to follow and extremely helpful. Overall we had an amazing private getaway, most relaxing trip we’ve had in a long time!

Property as advertised, clean and well maintained. Sadly lacking in amenities. I think there were six towels for 3 people for a week. Had to purchase fry pan. The one available had the coating peeling off.

My godbrother and I rented this cabin for my birthday. The cabin was lovely, and immaculate. I found that the internet was quite fast, allowing me to stay in contact with my family while I was there. Both of the bedrooms were quite comfortable, as was the couch. We didn't get to spend much time outside since it was raining, but the yard looked beautiful.
One of the best parts of the property for me was walking out side and getting to see crayfish walking across the lawn. I have a creek in my back yard that has crayfish in it, but I had never seen them out of the water.

Perfect for our needs! Clean, quiet, remote yet close enough to wine/beer tasting, restaurants and still able to count stars at night around the fire pit

Wonderful place - beds were comfy. Kitchen was well outfittted.
It was a super hot weekend and my only wish was that the cold air from the A/C unit cooled the bedrooms more effectively.

Gary was super responsive to our questions and very understanding and hospitable. We were very pleased with our stay and the friendliness and accommodations our hosts provided us! It had a very “family” and “welcoming” atmosphere. We really appreciated the laundry facilities as well and all the little touches we found of items we had forgotten etc. Our kayak came off when we were leaving and Gary contacted us due to someone seeing it and was ready to come help! What an amazing host! Thanks for our wonderful stay and your kindness! Ashley and Wesley

We want to thank the owners for their hospitality! We had a hiccup the first night but the owner stepped up and resolved the situation in a timely manner! The cabin was clean and cozy. We loved out back! It was amazing! We sat outside at the picnic table, made a fire and watched the sunset go down! We would definitely stay again! ❤️

Great home base
The cabin was clean, comfortable, and functional. Gary responded quickly to any questions I had and he was very hospitable.
We were in town for a wedding with a 4-year-old and a 4-month-old and it was great for us to have quiet, private space for cooking meals and taking naps.
The only two caveats are the lack of cell service and the dirt roads leading to the property. Obviously, these are not under the host's control and may not be an issue for many people.
The wifi is good so I was able to coordinate plans with others via email when text messages and phone calls wouldn't go through.
I would definitely recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle! We had a little Nissan sentra which was fine until it rained, then it was a little hairy trying to get into town since the dirt roads turned to mud.
All in all, I would definitely stay there again, but would either drive my SUV from MA or rent something with AWD. Fantastic place! Thanks again for hosting us!
