Cozy Tiny Cabin Getaway in the Finger Lakes!

Escape to a quiet, private cabin where you can truly unplug—complete with beautiful sunset views right from your bed. Tucked into the countryside, this cabin offers a peaceful retreat after a day exploring nearby wineries, waterfalls, and all the fun of Watkins Glen. Stargaze at night, the star-studded sky feels so close that you can almost touch it. Compact, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, it’s the perfect home base for a relaxing Finger Lakes getaway.

While we do not live on or near the property, we will be available via phone and text during your stay. We also have a property manager that lives locally who can assist at any time.

❤️ Why we love it here? The FLX Micro-cabins give you the perfect mix of a peaceful stay with the most stunning views (you'll love the sunsets and stargazing at night) while being in the countryside yet not too far from everything.

Best of all, upon booking, we will provide you with an interactive (great for accessing via your cell phone) guidebook that lists out everything you need to know about the home and the region as well as our TOP 10 places to eat, drink, play and explore! We lived here and vacation here too! We give you all of the local tips and our past guests have loved it!

Guest will have sole access to their cabin during their stay and will access the cabin through a coded keypad. Access includes your cabin & deck along with the grassy area with your private fire pit.

Welcome to the MATH CABIN!

It's one of 4 micro-cabins that's on the land of the FLX Schoolhouse, a renovated 1875 schoolhouse, that is also a whole-house rental of FLX Escape Vacation Rentals. You’ll find us in the heart of the Finger Lakes, the picturesque wine region of upstate New York.

Here are some of the things we adore about the cabin and where it is.

THE LOCATION:

❤️ It's peaceful & quiet as it sits on 2.5 acres surrounded by woods and farmland.

❤️ It's perched on top of a hill giving way to the most amazing sunsets against mountain backdrops.

❤️ It's also conveniently located, close to all of your attractions. Within 5-8 miles you can hop on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, get to downtown Watkins Glen, take a hike at the Watkins Glen State Park or catch a race at The Glen International. You will find everything you need from farm stands and wineries, to restaurants and a convenient store along the way.

❤️ Want to head over to Ithaca or the Cayuga Lake wine trail, it's just a short 20-30 minute drive through farms, fields and the Finger Lakes State Forest.

TREMAN STATE PARK (you can swim next to a huge waterfall here) and TAUGHANNOCK FALLS STATE PARK (known for it's 15-foot free-falling waterfall, the tallest in the Northeast, and its mile-long gorge trail that offers spectacular views) are all 30 minutes or less from here.

🏠 THE CABIN:

It’s a year-round micro-cabin/tiny home built by local Amish families, with all of the modern amenities you'll need for a comfortable stay. Cute and cozy, the cabin is tiny at 200 sq. ft. of interior space and 120 sq. ft. of outdoor deck space with a grassy-green area; it’s perfect for a couple or solo-traveler.

Each cabin has a privacy wall off the deck and there is 30 feet between each cabin so they are close enough if you are traveling with friends and family but far enough away that you still have your own privacy.

OUTSIDE THE CABIN:

THE OUTDOOR SPACE: The cabin is perched upon a hill surrounded by farm lands. We find ourselves hanging outside after a great day on the Seneca Lake wine trail or a hike on the local trails. Whether you are in the mood to light a fire in your personal fire pit while you gaze at the stars (on a clear night, you can see the Milky Way), grill up some farm market finds, or hang out on your private deck in your Adirondack chairs, the views are stunning.

OUTDOOR GRILL & FIRE PIT: Each cabin has their own personal 4-burner gas grill with side burner. We provide grilling utensils, a 12" frying pan & a rubber spatula so you can cook up some breakfast or grill up some hot dogs and burgers outside at your cabin. Each cabin also has their own Breeo fire pit for camp fires and s'mores. **PLEASE NOTE: We provide complimentary fire starters for your stay but we DO NOT provide firewood. Firewood can easily be found locally at any roadside stands, the Dandy Mini-Marts in Burdett and Montour Falls, or Walmart or Tops in Watkins Glen.

INSIDE THE CABIN:

THE KITCHENETTE: It’s cute but basic. You’ll find a mini fridge and microwave here with flatware & dinnerware but this isn’t a place to cook full meals. There is no stove or oven. More so a place to re-heat takeout meals and keep your beverages cold.

MORNING JAVA & TEA: You will find everything you need for a great cup, including a Stagg Kettle for killer pour-overs.

SLEEP: When you want to rest, relax and rejuvenate, you need a comfortable bed, one that holds you. And that is what you’ll get here. A queen bed by Casper, the super comfortable memory foam bed adored by celebrities...and us! Plenty of pillows and warm blankets so you can relax and unwind with ease.

THE BATHROOM: This is not a glamping cabin; you have your own private bathroom. It’s fully-functional with a standing shower, fluffy towels and yes, a flushing toilet.

THE DECOR: From schoolhouse inspired vintage finds to hints of modern minimalism throughout, our love of Scandinavian design can be found around every tiny corner with pieces from our favorite brands like West Elm, CB2, and Crate & Barrel.

TECHNOLOGY: Working remotely? The micro-cabin has strong wifi, and a smart TV.
