Grape Escape

The stay was just as expected, a small clean cabin that provided many small conveniences that made the "camping" experience easier. The view was gorgeous and we saw a ton of local wildlife including foxes, rabbits, deer, and others. I highly recommend the stay for a single adult or couple looking to unplug and unwind.

Eclipse Getaway

The stay was wonderful! An extremely beautiful view, clean and serene space, and everything was provided for. Dave and his family were wonderful, and helped provide everything we could need. Even getting us out of the mud on the first night. Close to some of the best wineries and eats in the area, and a short drive to some very visually stunning parks beyond the lake itself. Their dog, Willy was an extra, added friend to us, and made our trip even more special. - Pete

Incredible view, especially in Fall

Beautiful view. Hard to overstate how gorgeous it is. Host provides a lot of helpful mod-cons that we didn't expect. Only major issue is ticks! If you bring a pet, do not let it stray from stone driveways and make sure it's up to date on preventive meds. Our (always leashed) dog must have brushed some high grass on walking trails on property and had more ticks on her than I have ever seen at once.

Awesome place to stay. The cabin has everything you could possibly need plus some extras you wouldn't have thought about. There are a few pans/utensils for cooking. There is a butane powered portable stove top, a propane grill, and the fire pit for cooking (all fuels are provided). Power banks are provided so you can plug in your phones when needed. Dry firewood is provided with a smokeless fire pit. There is a composting toilet and a neat little shower building. Great view of Keuka Lake and super close to a ton of wineries. 25 minutes to Watkins Glen State Park. There are a few nice little cafes in Hammondsport which is 2 minutes away. Honestly this is a true finger lakes glamping experience. I will definitely try to book this place the next time we are in the area.

Great get away

The Graoe Escape was exactly what we were looking for. It is camping without the tent! The view was wonderful, woke up and went to sleep with sounds of nature. Even in the rain it was a perfect getaway. Dave was quick to respond when we had a question and went above and beyond for our stay! Would recommend and stay again.

Christmas getaway cabin weekend

My girlfriend and I had a great glamping experience hosted by Dave and his wife. Not only was Dave incredibly attentive during our stay but also gave us recommendations on where to explore around the town and hikes near by. The cabin was equipped with cooking material and wood for the fire (which we really enioyed). For anyone looking for sometime to disconnect and enjoy with a loved one - We recommend this cabin for you!

Winery heaven

This is a great off the grid place to stay! If you want running water and electricity this isn’t the place for you. If you want an amazing view, location to all the wineries & town, a cozy cabin with a fire pit and great hosts! This is for you! Also if you want to disconnect at night and talk with your person enjoy a fire and wine this is your place! We will be back!

Incredible stay

Dave was an excellent communicator and host. The cabin was stocked with everything we could have needed and the grounds were not just beautiful, but functional and really well maintained. We had colder, wetter weather than we hoped but the cabin stayed dry and toasty warm throughout the night. We felt so safe, comfortable and relaxed the entire time. We will be back!!
