About the host
Hosted by Brad B and Emily P
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.
