A Weekend Retreat for New Yorkers
Feb 29
New York City, while mesmerizing and dynamic, can be a bit overwhelming at times. The noise, the crowds, the never-ending hustle and bustle… sometimes we all just need a break. At North Forest FLX, we believe that one of the best ways to recharge is to escape to nature and bask in its serene beauty. And that's why we're inviting you to discover a tranquil gem not too far from your metropolis – Hammondsport, NY, and the idyllic surroundings of Keuka and Seneca Lakes.
Why Hammondsport and the Finger Lakes?
Nestled in the heart of New York State's wine country, Hammondsport is a serene lakeside village that's been named "Coolest Small Town in America" by Budget Travel. It's positioned at the southern tip of Keuka Lake and within a short drive from Seneca Lake, making it the ideal location for city dwellers seeking a secluded retreat.
Imagine waking up to the soothing sounds of nature instead of the cacophony of city life. Your mornings can be spent sipping coffee on a peaceful porch, basking in the breathtaking beauty of North Forest. And this is just the beginning.
Explore the Great Outdoors
Your stay at The Hideaway comes with more than just a cozy cabin in the woods. It’s a gateway to endless outdoor activities, no matter the season.
Go hiking on the Finger Lakes Trail, a network of trails showcasing upstate New York's mesmerizing landscapes. Explore Keuka and Seneca Lakes' waterways with kayaking, paddleboarding, or a relaxing boat ride. For winter guests, nearby ski resorts provide a thrilling change of pace, or you might prefer snowshoeing among the hushed, snow-laden trees.
Wine Tasting and More
For the wine enthusiasts among us, Hammondsport and its surroundings are a slice of heaven. The region is well-known for its award-winning vineyards and wine tours. Visit Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, one of the most esteemed wineries in the region, or explore other local vineyards along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. The combination of unique wines, friendly locals, and a picturesque backdrop is a treat for the senses.
