About this cabin rental
ENJOY QUIET TIME lounging inside or sprawl out on the deck which offers a great view of the farm and incredible sunsets, convenient for grilling, reading, doing yoga or whatever you might enjoy.
Inside there is a very comfortable, all-natural QUEEN BED mattress in the loft with a window to the sky. As pictured, the loft is accessed by climbing a ladder. The loft is not suitable for children, as there is no railing. On the main floor, there is a convertible QUEEN FUTON, very comfortable as far as futons go. We are happy to make this bed for guests who prefer not to climb the ladder.
There's a large FULL BATHROOM, a SMALL KITCHEN and a WALK-IN CLOSET. Organic LINENS, one set of TOWELS and PILLOWS ARE PROVIDED for all guests.
The KITCHEN has a small oven, stove, mini-fridge with small freezer, toaster oven, pots, pans, dishes, cups, oil, vinegar, basic spices, a french press (with instructions) and locally roasted organic coffee and sugar ready for your use (there is no microwave and we do not provide cream). The gardens just outside the door offer cooking herbs for picking and are a great pair to the LOCAL FOOD OPTIONS you can order listed below.
There is GAS GRILL and outdoor furniture for summer cookouts on the deck. We clean the grill between each guest and provide grill utensils.
There's a small FIRE PIT and HAMMOCK among the trees. WOOD IS PROVIDED.
Heating/Cooling: There is a wood stove available in cooler months, a space heater, a ceiling fan and oscillating fans to ensure your comfort. THERE IS NO A/C, as such, if it is humid outside, it's humid inside. Luckily, summers in the Finger Lakes tend to be mild and nights usually cool down.
The yurt is nestled in the woods at Wellspring Forest Farm, a small diversified operation that produces mushrooms, maple syrup, elderberry extract, and grazing sheep and chickens. There are farm animals, dogs and electric fences around farm animals.
There is .8 mile marked Trail just behind the yurt you are welcome to walk at your leisure. We maintain and mow this trail regularly, although in very wet seasons, maintenance may not be possible. For the privacy of our neighbors, we ask that you do not walk elsewhere on the farm.
We are located just 12 miles from Ithaca, 12 miles from Watkins Glen, and 8 miles Trumansburg, NY, a perfect jumping-off point for the wine, beer or cheese trails, waterfall hikes, restaurant outings, graduation weekend events, the Ithaca Farmers Market and more! Cell phone service can be spotty depending on your provider. Generally texting always works.
We've left a helpful guide to the region for you to peruse during your stay including restaurant info, hikes, swimming spots and more! We can also send you this info once you book if you'd prefer.
Please note:
* We DO NOT ALLOW PARTIES and A MAXIMUM of 4 people and 2 cars total may stay at the yurt. If more cars are needed, please contact us.*
*Dogs may be considered for an extra cleaning fee and deposit.
***We CLEAN with only, non-toxic, all-natural cleaning supplies between each guest and sanitize door handles. We use Seventh Generation laundry detergent and dryer sheets. If "clean" means you want to smell bleach, chemicals, Tide, Bounty or other strong scents, this is not the right stay for you.

5.0 / 5.0
We loved the uniqueness of this property and surrounding grounds. The yurt itself was very nice and had a great deck to sit on and watch the stars at night. We walked the nature trail prior to leaving, which was very relaxing. The location was great too, not too far from town either. Overall, a great place to stay.

3.0 / 5.0
It was a nice property and place, and I liked the surrounding area. However, it seems my request of having a loaf bed was ignored somehow. I was a bit disappointed as the owner didn’t make the effort to make me feel I was deserving the right treatment by responding to my request. No extra blanket at night either, and the loft bed was not ready as I expected.

Beautiful and quiet property. We enjoyed staying in this yurt while bringing our oldest to college and enjoying the surrounding area with our other 2 children. Yurt had everything we needed to make meals and spend relaxing time together.

Amazing short trip to the Ithaca area. The yurt was lovely, the surroundings were scenic and secluded but still close enough to both Seneca Lake and Ithaca Lake for dinner options. We are already looking forward to our next trip back!

Arriving during a major storm, we were met by the owner who advised of precautions if power was lost. Located close to all the wonderful waterfalls and hiking trails of Watkins Glen and other small towns.WiFi service was great. Possibly add a microwave.

This place was absolutely wonderful. It was clean, well kept, and a great value for what you got. Beautiful property, sweet farm pets stopped by to say hello which was adorable. Not to mention the spectacular communication from the owner. We are grateful we got the opportunity to stay, and will DEFINITELY be back down the line.

Such a cute and tidy yurt, and located on the most beautiful land. The birds were chirping, the flowers were blooming, and the baby sheep were bleating. It was magical. And the owner was very nice and responsive. I will definitely go back :)

What a special place!! Can’t say enough great things about it. If it’s available and you want to visit any surrounding area, do not hesitate to book this amazing spot in the woods. Highly recommend and hope to book again in the future!

Yurt was fun and ticked off all the boxes for our visit to the Finger Lakes region! Thanks again!

We had a great weekend staying in the property. The wood burner was great for a chilly early spring weekend, Elizabeth was very clear and accommodating in her communications making it very easy and everything was just great. My only regret is not booking the third night to stay for the Solar Eclipse and to get to explore the property further. We thoroughly enjoyed the area and the accommodations at the Yurt were perfect for my wife and I!

This yurt is perfectly located to experience all the features of the Seneca and Cayuga Lake areas of the Finger Lakes region...wine tasting, hiking, Watkins Glen, Trumansbug, Ithaca, etc. Nestled into the woods - woods that are beautiful with the fall colors - the yurt was a rustic, but clean and functional, experience not to be missed.
5.0 / 5.0
The yurt has a rustic feel in harmony with the land, but with conveniences we've come to need (wifi!). We loved strolling the path nearby, visiting Trumansburg and Watkins Glen. It's a wonderful location, secluded but close to a myriad of activities.

Stayed overnight after seeing Steve Hackett at the State Theater in Ithaca. Did not get to check out the grounds because it was rainy and cold. Was a nice place.
5.0 / 5.0
The view of the stars was breathtaking!
We didn't get to check out the property in full since we were on the last leg of our first family road trip, just staying the night, but the trail behind the yurt was a nice quick hike.
We had hoped to check out the Ithaca Children's Garden nearby - maybe a future trip. The farm on the property offered tours or fresh produce.
We are a family of four, with kiddos ages 5 and 7.
We enjoyed the yurt's unique construction and fun loft area. We were too tired to build up the fire but would recommend doing so in the future - the electric heaters didn't give off much heat, but that was our own fault since the wood was fully stocked with great instructions throughout the yurt for how to use things like the wood stove or French Press, etc.
Thanks for a unique family experience - hope to return.
Emelia :)

Our stay was exactly as we expected according to the description. In fact it exceeded our expectations.
We loved being centrally located to all the places we wanted to go. We enjoyed being able to have the availability to cook and stay in, or go out to eat.
We especially enjoyed the privacy, and if we had any needs, questions, or concerns, we were able to easily reach our host.
It was an incredible week to say the least.

Being in this clean, circular yurt with a clear domed high ceiling, so beautifully designed was a delight. Surrounded by a forrest and sheep pastures with either rain pitter patter or stars, we had no problem getting a fabulous nights sleep in the loft. This was an ideal place to use as a base to hike, swim and enjoy the Robert Treman State Park waterfalls and Ithaca! Every detail from coffee in the kitchen to a great shower was perfect.

The yurt was a perfect location for a secluded and relaxing getaway to the Finger Lakes. It is directly halfway between Watkins Glenn and Ithaca, which have extensive beautiful hiking trails. It is also only 10 minutes away from Cayuta Lake boat launch where I put in my kayak. 10 out of 10.
