Secluded Finger Lakes Cabin near Watkins Glen. Views, Private Trails, Firepit
A secluded Finger Lakes Cabin Escape
Escape to a private rustic cabin retreat in the rolling hills near Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake, where mornings begin with sweeping valley views and evenings end beside the fire under the stars. Tucked on a quiet 90-acre countryside property overlooking Sleeper Creek valley, this secluded Finger Lakes cabin blends the magic of glamping with the comfort of a cozy woodland getaway.
Wake Up to Valley Views and Birdsongs
Spend the day exploring private hiking and mountain biking trails, birdwatching along Sleeper Creek, or relaxing on the covered porch as the valley breeze moves through the fields. Nights bring campfires, stargazing, and the quiet sounds of the countryside. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a rustic glamping adventure, or a weekend exploring the Finger Lakes wine trails, the cabin offers the rare feeling of being both remote and close to everything.

About the host
Hosted by Beth & Chris Galusha
Hosts Chris and Beth spend their summers enjoying Keuka Lake. They wake surf and water ski.
Why they chose this property
Christopher grew up on the property. He explored every corner of the land and Sleeper Creek. As a teenager, he was inspired to build a cabin. It was designed by a aspiring architect who sadly died while the cabin was under construction. The cabin was constructed overlooking the Sleeper Creek Valley using logs and stones from the land.
