We love staying here! The deck overlooks the Seneca Lake and is so beautiful! The dock is partially covered and has two lounge chairs and two Adirondack chairs down there. Really nice. There are two sets of stairs that you have to go down to get down to the dock area. Super pretty! The bed was very comfortable. The location was perfect for many wineries, breweries, restaurants and hiking at Watkins Glen State Park. The cabin worked very well for us.

Overall, we had a lovely time here. The property is very clean. There is a wonderful relaxing view from the deck on to the lake. We have nothing really bad to say about it other than some suggestions. It would be a good idea to have a smart TV so people can watch something besides basic cable. Also, the bed in the one room is too big. It’s comfortable to sleep in, but it’s impossible to walk around the bed. I literally had to crawl in and out of bed to go to the bathroom at night. It’s very difficult to make the bed because you can’t walk around the bed on the one side at all.Overall, it’s a lovely place and we enjoyed ourselves at Watkins Glenn very much

I have been very fortunate to have stayed in several places on the Fingers Lakes. I think this cabin has the best deck view I've experienced. Ideal for lake watching with (or without) a glass of wine. Quiet, restful and comfortable. Please know the drive in and out is steep so an AWD vehicle is needed. Well worth the drive down. The neighbors are very helpful.

Check in was a breeze, and communication was great with quick responses to questions. Nice little house in the woods with fabulous lake views. The house was very clean upon arrival and fit our needs. A couple suggestions would be to add an exhaust fan in the bathroom, an upgrade to the shower, and a place to hang jackets/coats by the front door. We enjoyed our stay, watching sunsets and fishing from the dock. One review mentioned the neighbors sharing a front yard, and I agree it would be a little awkward if they were there and you wanted to have a campfire because it almost feels like you are on the other property. Otherwise it is a nice place that provides a quiet beautiful retreat. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

A quiet week

Location of the cabin and access to the lake is fantastic. Cabin was a bit musty and the shower was small/coming away from the wall on one side. Otherwise, a comfortable cabin in the wood.

GREAT Family Get-Away!

We really enjoyed the cabin and peaceful atmosphere of the property. Sitting by the lake relaxing was amazing. Close to many great vineyards and hiking (we hiked Treman, Watkins Glen and Taughannock Falls). We are looking forward to coming back again!!

Great stay in comfy cabin.

My fiance, two pups and I had a great stay in this comfy cabin. It was completely secluded and away from the hustle of the city that we are used to, which made it exactly what we were looking for. We loved sitting by the lake, the fresh air, and the calmness of it all. The cabin had everything we needed and was very easy to access/lock up when it was time to leave. Thanks for the great stay!

Perfect lake getaway

We were looking for a quiet nature escape on the lake-and we got it 100%! Rustic cabin in the woods, wit spectacular views of the lake. It gave us the needed remote feeling, yet it’s is perfectly located in the mix of the wine trail (wineries and breweries just up on the main road) and close to Watkins Glen for hiking the trails.

Wondedful location!

This property has an amazing location! Just a couple and our dog. Tons of wineries and close to downtown Watkins Glen that has any stores you might need. Close to the national forrest to go for a hike if you would like. The driveway needs a 4WD vehicle. Rustic cabin with comfy matress. A good walk to the private lake acess but worth the view. Our favorite part is the deck has built in gates so we could have our d/AWD

Location and view

This property was at the perfect spot for us on the lake. It was at a great location on the east side of Lake Seneca, close to great wineries and breweries, as well as close enough to Watkins Glen. The photos do not do this place justice as to the beautiful outdoor space both with the deck, pavilion, and waterfront area. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Great view on Lake Seneca

A nice place to relax with an amazing Lake Seneca view. Though most of the furniture in the cabin needs to be replaced as it is extremely uncomfortable due to its overused condition.

Was private. There were no lights to feel safe .Cabin needs updates. Lake view and deck were awesome. Need to add safety to property, lighting,on all levels, not the deck.Cliff on third level needs safety rail.For dogs and children. Stairs on both levels need to be updated. But it was a good area.

Great Birthday Weekend

Spent my wife's birthday weekend here. Plenty of room and close to a lot of beautiful wineries. Some reviews I read before going complained about the driveway but we had no problems at all. Not sure way there are speed bumps on a gravel driveway but not a big deal. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Thank you for your review Mark, we are glad that you and your wife enjoyed your stay at our cabin. So that you know, the bumps that are across parts of the driveway are actually angled for water run off as as the storms can be intense up here and will wash all the gravel off the road, if we do not give the water a place to go. Take care and enjoy your summer! Thanks again, Amy
