Butternut Camp was the perfect cozy hideaway that offered us a quiet refuge in which to unwind, but was close enough to the village of Watkins Glen that we could easily partake of all that was on offer. There were several wineries within easy reach as well as craft breweries. Restaurants that catered to every taste could be found in town and along state route 414. The scenery was spectacular. The gorge in the state park is not to be missed. We found our stay relaxing as well as full of activities that we enjoyed.
