This place is amazing. The staff is so welcoming and accomodating. The tent was clean, beautiful and spacious. Bath area was a tad famurther away from ourvtent, but the facilities were excellent. There were plenty of areas around the property to relax and enjoy nature, hammocks, pucnic tables, fire pit areas. Great trails for hiking. So close to downtown Ithaca, state parks,restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend visiting.

Noisy
The only thing that was unsatisfactory was my sleep disturbance. The smoke detector in my tent needed a new battery. It beeped every 15 min from about 1am on. At 6am when the staff came in I brought it to the reception desk. She apologized but offered no discount for my stay.
People will bring children and also complain about you before quiet time. Other than that it was a nice place to stay. My favorite part was listening to the birds each morning and seeing the stars late at night.
We were so surprised and delighted to find this property as we were passing through Ithaca. What a beautiful spot. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The communal areas/firepits were fantastic and the breakfast offerings were healthy, local and delicious. We will definitely be back.
The tents were lovely and the beds were very comfortable. The problem was that the bathroom was very far away from all the tents so you’d have to walk 5 min up the hill and stairs to get there in the middle of the night, which was awkward. The bathrooms were very clean and the staff was lovely.
However, I booked through Expedia and paid at least $50/night more than I would have if I booked directly. But even directly, $170/night is a lot to sleep in a tent and walk to the bathroom.
