We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The interior is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. It has a wonderfully quaint and serene atmosphere that made it easy to relax. Just a heads-up to future guests: you will need to bring or purchase your own firewood if you plan on enjoying nightly fires.The location feels very private overall, though it's worth noting that people came by to access the barn (about 50 feet from the cabin) on two of the three nights we were there. It didn't ruin our trip by any means, but it is something to keep in mind if you're looking for absolute isolation. Overall, a great place to unwind!

This was just enough “camping” for us! We had an amazing time in the area, hiking to waterfalls, exploring the vineyards and breweries and enjoying fires at the property! The outdoor cooking area was great! We’d love to come back!!

Away from it all… but not too far

Great little place in the country, but reasonably close to restaurants, wineries, breweries, etc. The hosts were great. I have never been to a more dog-friendly location than the finger lakes. Good time. 👍

Great location!

The cabin and surrounding property was very nice. The floors could have been a bit cleaner, we brought our pup along with us and he found all sorts of things underneath the beds. The water had a unique smell to it. The location and amenities provided definitely outweighed the cons. Would stay again!

loved our stay at the tiny cabin!

wonderful stay. we really enjoyed the evenings by the firepit, hearing the frogs in the pond, stargazing from the deck. Great location to access all that the local area has to offer. Easy to get to the town of Watkins Glen, and access the Seneca Lake wine trail. We also explored Keuka Lake, the wine trail, and the adorable town of Hammondsport. The hiking & exploration on the property were highlights of our stay. Hosts were quick to communicate and provided lots of great recommendations for the local area.

Perfect little pumphouse

We really enjoyed our stay at the pump house. It's 15-20 minutes away from just about everything in the Watkins Glen area. We explored the area by day, and came back to the pump house and had relaxing evenings by the fire at night. The house looks small from the outside, but is really spacious on the inside. A perfect little weekend getaway.

Very nice experience

We enjoyed our stay quite a bit since it offered the experience of staying in a cabin in a rural setting with plenty of land and woods around you while being conveniently located about 8 miles from Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake making it very easy to explore the finger lakes region. It was nice to come back to a peaceful setting each day and wake up to the same setting before heading out each day to explore the region. The Pump House cabin is very nice and has everything you need.

Pump House Nature Retreat

The Pump House was the perfect choice for my R&R getaway. The property is beautiful, trails to hike & beautiful decks to enjoy the surroundings. There is also a variety of grills to suit your cooking needs. I was pleased to find a dog run. I clipped my dog Trek to the run & he enjoyed wandering where he liked without me worrying about him. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on. Great location & hosts. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway put this charming cottage on your list.

A dream!

We had the most amazing time at the Pump House! The house was clean, up to date, and beautiful. The property was an absolute dream. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed the trails, fields, and ponds on the property and we enjoyed watching the deer and fox in the morning. The hosts were very warm, welcoming, and helpful. Thank you so much Beth and Chris! We will be back!

We had a fantastic stay, it was so relaxing and the most stress free for my senior dog who could sit on the deck, roam and smell all the smells while we watched the birds and leisurely took in some R&R. It was the perfect location to launch for our waterfall chasing with so many nearby and one even on one of the farm’s trails. The beds were so comfortable, and they’ve got all kinds of extras in the pump house too-the binoculars came in handy, I saw an oriole, bluebirds, three kinds of woodpeckers…with bird book as well. If you are traveling with a dog and looking for some good quiet country living, Beth and Chris have you covered in the Pump House!

Clean, comfortable, private getaway for exploring finger lakes

We loved the pump house and being able to explore the trails, creeks, and overlook during our downtime. Everywhere we looked was abound with butterflies, birds, and wildflowers, frogs and salamanders near the pond/creek (late August). Chris and Beth are attentive and friendly hosts who truly enjoy having others have experience their family property. Well appointed cabin with everything we needed. Quiet location off the beaten path yet easy to access lake attractions. Perfect for getting outdoors and into nature, our boys and dog especially loved it! No TV or wifi was a huge PLUS! Would return in a heartbeat.
