There is much to explore in the Tug Hill Region of Central New York. Located right along the East Branch of Fish Creek, guests can use a kayak and travel down the flowing stream in search of new sights and sounds. If guests are traveling during the winter, there are numerous places to ski or snowshoe nearby. The Adirondacks are only a short drive away, ideal for a day trip with the whole family. In addition, Cooperstown is also close, which features the National Baseball Hall of Fame, as well as many places to eat and drink.

On-site, after swimming in the river, glampers can bike around the property or play outdoor yard games. At night, adults can sit out by the fire and enjoy a glass of wine, while the kids make s'mores and tell riveting campfire stories. Whatever one needs, this retreat is a reminder of how important time spent with family and friends in the middle of nature is.
