Gorgeous Hilltop Paradise with epic views and swimming pond

A beautiful slice of nature and unique cottage on 30 acres of land with modern amenities. Enjoy distant views of hills through huge windows overlooking distant hills and a swimming pond. It's a retreat for every season, featuring beautiful fall foliage, hiking, 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 pit 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!

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! Please do not let them inside the cottage.

A separate vacation rental and parking area is also located on the 30-acre property, about 200 feet from the cottage, and guests share access to the pond. During the warmer months, abundant foliage provides a natural screen between the two homes. When the leaves are down, the cottage is visible through the trees, though the two rentals remain separate and privately/comfortably situated.
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.

CHECK OUT
When you check out, please load and start the dishwasher. There is dishwasher soap underneath the sink. Pile all dirty towels and wash cloths in the shower. Please strip the beds and leave the sheets and pillow cases on the floor. Please put all furniture and accessories back in their orignal locations. Also, please leave garbage and recycling inside the house.
