We live on a small side road about 1000' from the main small road. Nearest neighbor is about 600'. Plenty of acreage to hike and explore including a small 'gorge'. Our property extends down hill from a line from the pole by the road along a boundary that is close to geographic North. You could park for a few hours in front of our field stone fronted garage, plug in, charge up, and then move across the road to the parking area or field for the remainder of the time. Suggested Local Attractions: Finger Lakes region of CNY; Harriet Tubman home, and NYS Heritage Center; Ithaca and it's colleges and gorges, historical Auburn - about 11 miles , quaint touristy "on the Lake" village - Skaneateles, and Moravia; Nice hilly country roads in our area.

so wonderful to have a private and quite place to stay! Don and Donna are wonderful host, as well their friend Jess. There is so much to see and do while boondocking in this sweet spot. Do as they say and come in from the west! We would definitely come back to stay at this spot.

Quiet location with nature all around. Site was level and easy to pull in and out of. Convenient for Finger Lake region. Pleasant host. Both were busy not a long time to chat but helpful and friendly.
