Wild Wind Lodge with beautiful woodwork and views

Experience tranquility solo or enjoy gatherings here. This gorgeous log home was built for panoramic views and to experience life off the beaten path. Once an operating farmette, the love poured into this space radiates. Surrounded by pine logs inside, you'll find unique features like a barn door honoring the homes' history, a "secret" hiding space, antiques and a handmade, black walnut table for gathering. Absorb yourself in the serenity of the space or venture out for hiking, wineries/breweries, amazing eateries, live music, theaters, museums and more in the nearby Finger Lakes region!

Quaint cabin with beautiful grounds
We loved our stay in this log cabin! While the listing does say it sleeps 10, there are only ~3 beds in the property - definitely bring your own airbeds. The outdoor property is fantastic and the host's communication was great! Thanks for having us!

The Wild Wind Lodge is a beautiful setting. We did not realize that the driveway is pretty rough and rutted gravel. There is no AC, but with the windows open you can get a nice breeze. There is no WiFi, but cell coverage was okay. The bed in the master bedroom is a very comfortable queen bed. The views are stunning! Our host, Jackie, was very communicative and accommodating. Thank you for opening your home! Susie S

Beautiful Experience @ The Wild Wood Lodge
Our host(ess) was very responsive to requests & questions & the Lodge is beautifully situated on top of a very private & quiet setting. The accommodations were comfortable & clean. My group had a very good time. The one thing each of the 4 guests pointed out was that the condition of the road leading up to the cabin (The Long Private Drive Path) could be better maintained to make it accessible to low clearance vehicles

Hidden Gem
This location exceeded our expectations by far and was the perfect “hidden gem” for our long weekend spending time with friends! The house is positively gorgeous with a cabin-y feel while holding more than enough space for our group. The location of the home provides for privacy and a scenic peacefulness you can only find in the country while still being reasonably located to not have to drive far to get to restaurants, and in our case, Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region. The house at night is a dream and open areas allow for group activities (in our case, game nights!). Jackie is an excellent host who answered our questions promptly prior to our trip and cares for the house in a way that allows for all necessities to be provided during the duration of the stay. Jackie, thanks for everything! We positively adored your house and had an incredible trip!

A Delightful Retreat
I led a small group retreat at Wild Wind Lodge this week. The entire process was delightful. We booked several months ago. Weather nearly derailed our plans - you know - March in CNY. The owner was perfectly willing to adjust our scheduling if necessary. Luckily, it was not. She checked in with us a couple of times to see if we needed anything, and was very quick to respond to questions. As the photos show, the place is stunningly beautiful inside. Lots of local art and wellness pieces have been used to further the feeling of peace and well-being. There are several beds, spread out over all 3 floors, so groups can spend time together in the common room all day, as we did, and then get some privacy at night. We also ran into Ithaca one night for supper and shopping. Even though the Lodge is located "in the country", it's not too far out from the city. I could go on, but y'all are probably wishing I'd finish. So I will.. with this statement. If you're looking for a place to get away, for whatever reason, look at Wild Wind Lodge.

The lodge was stunning! Plan on booking again.
The place and location were perfect for getting away from the world and just enjoying time together. Our daughter wanted a cabin to spend the weekend with her friends for her 16th birthday. Everyone loved it. Plenty of room for people to do their own thing and come together whenever they wanted to. Jackie was a great host and responded quickly to and questions.
