The cabin is modeled after traditional European lodges and sits atop a hill on the smooth-graveled Comfort Road. Remote enough to be a true retreat, it is still under 20 minutes away from Downtown Ithaca Commons and shopping. Ithaca College is a short 10-12 minute drive and Cornell is within easy driving distance as well. Ithaca airport is 30 minutes away. Natural attractions are Jennings Pond, Buttermilk Falls, and Robert H Treman State Park with its amazing natural swimming hole and falls. The stretch of Comfort road in front of the chalet is part of the Finger Lakes trail system and leads to a trail head that goes into Danby State Forest.

Note: The cabin is surrounded by nature and as a result "nature" occasionally get inside. This is part of country living. We perform regular maintenance and cleaning to minimize the occurrence.

About the host

Hosted by Brad B and Emily P

Host profile image
We are best friends, parents, professionals, and nature explorers from New Jersey. We fell in love with the Finger Lakes Region while our oldest attended college. Every trip reveals some new natural treasure. We hope you discover your own beauty.

Why they chose this property

Sitting in Adirondack chairs in the courtyard with our morning coffee while watching the poplar leaves "sparkle" in the wind.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has been referred to as Narnia by friends. The simple, unassuming log structure is deceptively small from the outside, but when inside it opens up and feels much larger. You'll be immediately taken in by the rich wood tones and exotic burled wood finishings. The inside of the home feels like the woods that surrounds it.
