Gorgeous Hilltop Paradise with epic views and swimming pond

Immerse youself in nature while staying in an artistically-built cabin with modern ammenities. Enjoy distant views of hills through huge windows overlooking a swimming pond. It's a retreat for every season, featuring beautiful fall foliage, cross-country skiing and a lush and picturesque spring and summer. The house features a round kitchen and bedroom with a vaulted ceiling. Enjoy a giant view of the sky, fire by the pond, the sound of frogs, meditate, relax, or … work!

The space
Rustic and creative with the comfort of a modern kitchen and bathroom. 30 minute proximity to Ithaca, Watkins Glen and the wine trails. Swim in our beautiful pond. We just put in a new dock. It’s 15 ft. Deep in the middle - you can dive off the dock! Our home is also on the property.

Guest access
Walk, hike, run, snow-shoe, cross-country ski, mountain bike - so many options!

Other things to note:
We have three outdoor cats that live on the porch of the studio behind the cabin. They are all very friendly!
No hunting or ATVs are permitted on our property.
Our land on Nobles Hill is sacred to our family and friends! Please respect the land and property.
_____________

The garden shed, studio, greenhouse and gardens are all private property and not meant to be accessed as part of the vacation rental. Our neighbors are friends so please respect quiet hours after 10pm. There are no parties allowed on the property.

MODEM/WIFI
The modem/wifi is located in the living room in the nook next to the table. If you don't recall the network name and password from this listing, it is printed on the side of the modem. Please always keep the modem/wifi plugged in, even if you ar not using it.

WATER/HOT WATER/GARDEN SPICKET
Our water comes from a well and is safe to drink out of the tap. Sometimes the water is a little sulfury. The hot water comes from an on-demand heater. There is nothing to turn on. Because it's an on-demand system, it sometimes takes a minute or two before heating up to full temperature. There is a water spicket outside near the parking area. If you use it, please turn it on very gently and keep it at a low flow. Never turn up the garden spicket to it's highest flow point.

Fire Pit
There is a fire pit that is available for use. Please use your own wood. The wood underneath the studio behind the cabin is not available.
