After traveling and living around the world, raising my kids... you can return home. I craved the seasons and the woods and some quiet peaceful land. I feel in love with this property as it had the perfect spot in the middle of the ten acres for a primitive camp, not to far from the house and driveway so very easy assess. A short walk up a trail. It is private and has lots of wildlife, the deers cross every morning and evening. We added another tent camp lower down on land near creek. It is a short 10 miles to Ithaca for provisions and other types of activities, or just stay and play on the land, fish, swim, hike, swing, rest, read, write, meditate, dream. come in peace or come to rediscover your peace. I look forward to meeting you Learn more about this land: We have 10 forested hilly acres 12 miles from Ithaca. We’ve built a camp with a covered dry lean-to with a double bed platform inside to put your sleeping bags or to put supplies off the ground and dry. Lots of room for tents. We have a primitive upper camp where you can also put tents for privacy. There’s a teepee with a wood base. The campfire has a grill, 2 homemade benches & an Adirondack chair. An orange hammock and also a picnic table. There’s a fun homemade swing & seesaw. We made many marked walking trails around our land to enjoy. There is access to well water. Dry cut Firewood is available for $7 a bundle in cash at the property or you can add extras with booking for $7.70 per bundle. Portable toilet outside, outdoor private shower. Come enjoy. It is very quiet. We are close to Treman, Buttermilk And Taughannock State Parks which all have swimming. Watkins Glen State Park and racetrack is half an hour away. Watkins Glen is breathtakingly magnificent. Also great cross country skiing, walking and hunting nearby at Connecticut Hill. There is downhill skiing at Greek Peak 45 minutes away if you are winter campers. We are 14 miles from Cornell University and 10 miles from Ithaca College. We are between two finger lakes, Cayuga and Seneca, there are 60 wineries and breweries around the lakes.Woman’s Rights National Museum in Seneca Falls, Corning Museum of Glass is fabulous. Ithaca has theatres, museums for art and lots to do for kids like a public pool on the lake.Or simply hang out and enjoy our ten private acres of forest.

This was exactly what we were looking for!! Private and off grid. Me and my fiancé had the best time. We made this little sanctuary our own. The host Pam her husband were more than accommodating. We were invited into their home to see art work and actually talk to them. They were the best!! Definitely recommend to any couple or family for A frame!!

Nice and private tent camping site. In the wooded area. Rather hilly to get up to the site but well worth the trek. There is also a covered platform available to store your supplies which was particularly handy on a rainy weekend to keep our things dry.

Cabin@Sanctuary in the Woods
Sanctuary, Indeed!
The little cabin we stayed in was AMAZING! Pam and Bob took care of SO many details, and we really enjoyed everything about the property. We are the out-and-about type so we mostly spent just evenings on the grounds. Though we didn't get to check everything out, we were told about trails to hike on-site (there are 10 acres on the property), and tons of art around the place. I personally enjoyed digging the details of all of the construction of each cabin and the workshop. Wish I'd talked to Pam more than I did. She's a pure joy to talk to. We checked out Treman State Park and Taughannock Falls, though there's Buttermilk Falls just down the road, which we drove into and decided to skip. Pam will tell you that there are 110 waterfalls in the vicinity. Plus, Ithaca is a cool little town! Wish we could have stayed longer. On a scale of 1-10, we give the Sanctuary a 77. Don't skip this place!

so cute!
such a cute spot to stay and we had a great time. for future campers, just so you know the campsite is up on a hill so it’s a little hike to get up there but it’s a great spot

Perfect spot to rest and recharge.
Wonderful experience and hosts Pam and Bob were warm and welcoming. The site was far enough away to feel very private but not so far that it wasn't manageable for easy access. The location was great for day trips into Watkins Glen and Ithaca just short drives away. The outdoor shower was nicely done as well as many of the provided amenities at the site, my kids loved the homemade checkerboard. Would absolutely stay again and would be interested in the other offerings as well.

I absolutely loved it at Sanctuary in the Woods. It was beautiful and very well kept. Pamela is a wonderful host, she made sure everything was good and if we needed anything. She also helped me figure out my way around the area. I will definitely be returning!!!
