Newly Renovated Rustic Cabin w/WiFi in the Heart of the Finger Lakes

NOTE: Yes, we are open for business.

Our cabins are located in the heart of the Finger Lakes, Yates County NY. Area shop and restaurant owners are abiding by Covid requirements while still providing a positive and safe experience for the vacationer. We have increased our cabin disinfection procedures and hope you’ll consider joining us soon to experience the beautiful scenery of this picturesque area for yourselves.

Now on to our cabin.

The "Green, Green Grass of Home" is a newly renovated rustic cabin that is similar to many cabins, cottages and homes in rural western NY. Its exterior siding is known as "Board and Batten". Board and Batten is a type of exterior siding or interior paneling that has alternating wide boards and narrow wooden strips, called "battens." The boards are usually (but not always) 1 foot wide. The boards may be placed horizontally or vertically.

What's unique about our Board and Batten is that the lumber is "Rough Cut" and comes from a local Amish saw mill and not from a big box store. You'll see this type of exterior siding all throughout NY and the northeast on homes and barns.

The interior of the cabin has new flooring throughout, either bamboo or vinyl. New lighting and a new kitchen counter top, along with new internal and external paint and a fresh new front and back deck for your sitting pleasure.

The cabin has two bedrooms (sleeps 2 each) and also a pull out couch which can sleep up to two (2) additional adults.

Once you step inside the cabin you'll see and feel "Country". There's pine ceilings and a custom made island for sitting around and discussing the days events or for just sipping coffee first thing in the morning. The island is adorned with drift wood and wooden limbs from our property behind the cabin, which gives the cabin a very rustic, and comfortable feeling of relaxation. This replaces a traditional kitchen table and chairs in the cabin.

The Green, Green Grass of Home is actually the last home on Emerson Road and just beyond it, the road becomes "Seasonal". What seasonal means is that from November 1st to April 1st of each year, the road beyond our cabin is not maintained by the township but the portion of the road to our cabin is maintained year round. Therefore, you'll find the location very peaceful, quite and relaxing.

Our cabins are accessible by all vehicles, not just trucks or SUV's. The road is gravel and can have ruts and holes in it during the spring and fall rainy season but anyone driving with normal care will not have an issue traveling to the cabin. It’s approximately 2 miles off the main road.

At night, feel free to sit around the fire ring and stare up at the millions of stars above you after hiking many of the local trails to see the beauty of our Finger Lakes region.

The location is very quite and private. If hear a noise, it’s probably one of a local farmers' tractor as they work on one of the many area fields getting them ready for the spring planting or the fall harvest.

Growing up on a farm literally just down the road with my parents, four sisters and brother, the only vacation our family ever went on was during winter recess from school. My grandparents were "Snow Birds" and they traveled to Florida every winter, so during the school break, my parents would load up the Kingswood Station Wagon and we'd head off to FL counting telephone poles and looking at the different license plates along the way, trying to find a license plate from each state.

It was a long 20 hour car ride with complaining kids who wanted to stop at "Reptile World" or at "South of the Border", so it was no wonder that on our way home from visiting my grandparents, as soon as we made it back in to NY my mom would start singing the song "The Green, Green Grass of Home". This country song originally was made popular by Porter Wagoner in 1965, when it reached No. 4 on the country charts. That same year, it was also sung by Bobby Bare and by Jerry Lee Lewis, who included it in his album Country Songs for City Folks (later re-issued as All Country). Next, Tom Jones learned the song from Lewis' version, and in 1966, he had a worldwide No. 1 hit with it.

Whenever we heard our mother start to sing that song, we knew we'd be home in an hour and whatever ruckus we were causing would stop and we'd look out the window quietly reflecting on the past several days and just waiting to get home to sleep in our own beds.
