About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

MAXWELL'S MOUNTAIN UPPER CABIN. AMAZING VIEWS!!WINECOUNTRY!!! HOT TUB ON DECK!!

There is a brand new hot tub on your deck. PLEASE be courteous of it's use. No lotions or oils, please do not touch any settings, do not make any changes.
The tub will turn itself on, it will turn itself off, it will clean itself as needed. Do not touch any buttons. Thank you for that. (Note, Suggest leveraging as a "hot tub" and not a jacuzzi.
Ozonated chlorine and bromine are not great for your health.) Just get in and enjoy please. The Milky Way is to your South East/East depending on season. The big Dipper to the North /East.
Shooting stars are constant, you'll see none of that with bubbles and steam. Northern lights which have been GREAT in 2024 are early in the morning to your North East.

You have VHF/UHF TV as well as a ton of DVD's and you may stream using your own provider as needed. You must change the input on the TV as needed.
Please do not muck with the red button remotely attached to the antenna. That will rotate the antenna and you will lose all of your regular TV channels.

ADULTS ONLY PLEASE, NO CHILDREN. Please enjoy some adult time.

Note, we're on an artesian well. It's the only water in the area and depending on weather it can be hard. Please plan on bringing your own drinking water
or you may use the Britta filter I provide.

Hopefully you're doggy friendly as my Golden Retriever "Max" comes up to say hi. Hes extra friendly, but if he hangs around too long just ask
him to "go home".
He knows where to go. :-)

Your cabin will be left open for you as you arrive. Please do provide an approximate ETA in advance. It's good form and I try to be available as people arrive.

You must be familiar with operation of a wood stove in the cooler seasons. This stove is as simple as it gets, but this is your sole method for heating the cabin. Please do not touch the
propane heater. It's only intended for the coldest of Winter so pipes don't freeze, the propane is shut off at all other times. Please do not bring an electric heater. The wood
stove is more than adaquate and my circuits are only 10amp. They will not handle an electric heater.

You are WELCOME to source your own firewood! For the stove or the firepit on the deck. If you need a load delivered, please let me know in advance. I am now using the Amish delivery service.
They require 24 hours notice and do not work on Sundays. It's a very reasonable $15. There's an envelope provided. Or the grocery store in town has $8 half loads that are excellent.

Again, please resist the urge to unplug lights and devices. It drives the cleaning crew crazy. There's a charging station on the radio as soon as you walk in.

Please turn off lights when not in use. All lights have switches, there's no need to unplug them. (Except for the deck lights, which are by tub)

Please do your dishes as you depart. Garbage and recycling is just to the right of your driveway by the mailbox if needed.

There's a TON of great things to do in the area!
I have many brochures which have been left for you. Beaches, fishing, hikes, great places to dine, etc.
If you are looking for a quick and easy hike from your door step, head North on Feather from your driveway. It's 1/2 mile~ to a road closed sign. Keep going over the hill.
It's a really nice and reasonably easy trail.
Nearest beach to swim is "Sandy Point", North end of Honeoye Lake.
Best fishing "Canadice Lake", it's STELLAR. Or the trout are great right thru town.
Best Pizza and BBQ is Neopolitans in town.
Best bar/distillery, Hollerhorn. Right in town.
Best State Parks in the general area. Letchworth/Watkins Glen.

If you need anything at all please do ask!

Do please do let me know that all is well with your accommodations as you arrive? (Text 786-492-0718) Additionaly, please let me know as you check out so I can let the crew know?

If by chance I am not on the property during your stay, your focal will be "Becky" if needed. She lives 20~ mins away. Her cell is 585-775-9057, she can handle most anything. :-)

ENJOY YOUR STAY!!!!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a spa tub or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Perfect Stay
I came up with my partner and my dog, Lemon, for a short stay during peak leaf season. The cabin was perfect for what we wanted, which was a few days in nature away from NYC. We were pleased to find that the kitchen was stocked with the essentials so that we could cook and didn’t have to rely on eating out the whole time. We also spent a lot of time stargazing from the hot tub on the deck, which was incredible. I loved building a fire in the fire pit and the wood stove (it’s so cozy and smells amazing) but I definitely would make sure you’re up for that challenge before making the reservation. It seems like some guests have not understood that before booking, which is unfortunate. Be sure to read through the description of the property and the rules carefully to avoid any misunderstandings. John was very communicative and helpful, while also giving us lots of privacy. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks for everything John! We will definitely be back ♡

Quiet Cabin
We came up to stay away from fireworks.It is difficult when your partner has PTSD from military service.Fireworks trigger it badly. The cabin was very secluded, wit a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. It had most amenities you would have at home. However, if you are afraid of washing dishes you use, by hand, this is not the place for you. I would advise bringing a few gallons of water., as the source there is an Artesian well. There is a sulfur smell to it, but it is safe to drink. (We used it for coffee and noticed no difference from regular municipal water. There is a large deck in back, with a glass table. We spent most of our time out there. There is also a charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid) as well as a small fire pit. Bring some kindling to start your fire, though. Inside, the place was well equipped, with a full kitchen asnd full bathroom. It does have a large screen Satellite TV ,plus a DVD player. AFor cold night John was an excellent host. He was very communicative and quite helpful. Overall, a great guy. His dogs are cool as well.He keeps the property up.

Short review
Cabin was as described. Nice view, wood stove, etc. My only issue was the communication with John about some things that were not made clear. Example, that there was a hard check-in time. My partner and I decided to switch up our itinerary because of the weekend rain. Now it may have been common knowledge on VRBO to tell the host of a different time, but this being our first time we didn’t know. That was our fault and we apologized, but John’s reaction was over the top.

MAXWELL'S MOUNTAIN UPPER CABIN
If you are looking for tremendous views, with quiet and isolation, this property may be for you. The cabin is tucked away on a quiet dirt road with limited traffic. We saw plenty of wildlife including deer and foxes. This is country living at its finest. There are a couple of drawbacks, the sofa and bed could use replacement and the cabin needs deep cleaning. I know from his posts that the owner has tried to make this property affordable for others to enjoy but personally I would have preferred to pay another $20 a night to see newer furniture.

Cycling getaway
We wanted a getaway with cooking on an open fire, bike rides, wine and relaxation along with our dog! We got all of this and plenty more. Bring what you need or plan on driving 5 miles to Naples. The owner is very accommodating and we enjoyed his company. The views over the valley from our deck were spectacular!!! We are already planning our next visit!

The upper cabin was amazing, from the welcoming sign to the fresh flowers and the comfortable bed. Everything you need was thought of, even bottles of water in the fridge. You wake up to an amazing view of the mountain. We loved being so close to town and far enough to have a quite little road safety feel. We cant wait to return!!! Thank you John

Peaceful Mountain Retreat
I brought my puppies to visit my son, and what better place to stay than a mountain cabin! I loved every moment of my stay in “Maxwell’s Mountain Retreat”! The Host & dog Max are usually nearby on the property, which covers a large area north of town. There is so much to see & do in the area, do your research and make a plan for fun!! To all the folks out there who are “city-dwellers” and “suburban non-campers” considering renting this beautiful mountain retreat…please come prepared. Find a Boy Scout/Girl Scout or someone who is an avid outdoor camper, and ask what to expect. Your amazing Host has the big screen TV, satellite wi-fi, microwave, stove +oven, and running water inside, a BBQ grill & seating outside. Required skills for cabin fun: 1. How to build a basic campfire outside! Please come equipped with your own fire-starter kit and firewood (or purchase it from your Host). 2. How to use a pellet stove inside! Even in the summer, temperatures can be chilly, so be prepared…no propane use! 3. The cabin has mountain-sourced well-water, which is different than city water. Be prepared! You might want to bring your own bottled water to drink, but the well-water is perfectly safe to drink, cook, and shower with. 4. Be prepared for outdoor activities: Backpack w/GPS, food, water, appropriate footwear, layered clothes, rain gear, jacket, and hat. Come enjoy the peaceful life of this amazing mountain cabin, explore the natural beauty, fresh air, & sounds of silence.

Serene cabin with awesome deck
My husband and I stayed in the upper cabin for two weeks with our dog. We loved the serenity and scenery, especially from the back deck. Our dog also had a few romps with Max, the resident dog. The deck has a fire pit, dining table and comfy Adirondack chairs. The cabin is great for two people. We ate in a lot and there is a charcoal grill and kitchen supplies to cook meals. The bathroom is small but adequate. John is a great host and will answer any questions and give suggestions for things to do in the area.We visited several state parks, wineries and small towns and all were easy day trips. Would highly recommend nearby Grimes Glen where you hike about a mile in a riverbed to end up at a swimming hole. Nearby town of Naples has a grocery store, library with "free" shelf, several restaurants and shops for most things you would need.

The most beautiful cabin with the most beautiful view
This was our first experience booking with VRBO, our cabin, John and Maxwell were so wonderful. The cabin was absolutely beautiful, John gave us a few recommendations of places to visit which turned out to be a memorable adventure for us. I highly recommend booking this cabin. John thank you so much for everything, I had so many good things to share with two of our best friends that within a matter of days they booked a week at your cabin and can not wait to experience what we did. We look forward to returning soon!!
