We spent a week at Butternut Camp in Hector near Seneca Lake. Henry, one of the owners, was very nice and friendly during our stay. The place was very clean and well supplied including some ground coffee and cream in the refrigerator. Hector is a great home base for Watkins Glen, hiking trails and tons of wineries and breweries. There is a small view of Seneca Lake from the porch but there is no direct access in the neighborhood. It is nice to walk around the neighborhood. You will need to go to Smith Point Park to get public access which is just a few minutes away. The covered porch had a lovely table, chairs, and rocking chairs for us enjoy. The description of the VRBO listing indicates that it is a “Cozy - Cedar cabin with covered deck”. Cozy means very small and it is not a cabin, but actually a mobile home which was not mentioned in the description. The bedroom is very small with only enough room for the width of the night tables on either side of the queen sized bed with very little room at the end of the bed. The outside of the home, on the back and the sides had equipment, and debris including wood and piles of small rocks near the fire pit.

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!

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.

Very nice property. Conveniently located to wineries. Owners very nice and accommodating.

This was our 3rd stay at Butternut Camp.. perfect cozy cottage for two people.. our hosts Sue and Henry have it all set up with everything you need for a relaxing stay!! Already looking forward to our next visit.

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.

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

Sue and Henry have the cutest cabin. This is our second year staying here and highly recommend it. They are wonderful hosts.
