Comfortable house with all the amenities & thoughtful details we needed. The hosts go out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. Adorable town & wonderful state park with beautiful trails, gorges, & waterfalls. Grocery store, ice cream, restaurants are close by, too. I loved having my coffee on the screen porch (all windows that open) every morning during our stay. Thanks for everything!

Great Get Away

The property was very clean, nicely appointed, and close to Watkins Glen. The beds were comfortable and it had all the things you would look for in a kitchen away from home. The only negative about the property it is right off the exit ramp to a highway and the water had a sulfur smell. There was bottled water in the fridge but the tap water was not drinkable. Overall a great place to stay to explore the area.

Our water is managed by a treatment company that has now added additional filtration / treatment. The property access is not much different than most any property along the two lane divided wine trail (Rt 14) in that area requiring median turn arounds to go north / south This is the first time we have had comments related to these items over the years of hosting guests in our family homestead. Our priority is and always has been to provide a 5 star experience and are always available during a guests' stay to address any issue.

Very cozy and relaxing.

My husband , my 3 boys and my cousin stayed for two nights but if we could have stayed longer we would have. It was quiet, spacious but not too big. No other surrounding property but the village or town was only a 5 minute drive away which was convenient for a quick trip to Walmart. Close by wine trails that my husband explored. Watkins glen park was only 10 -15 min away which was great. The house had everything that we needed available to us plus extras. My teens enjoyed themselves in the serenity of the place and but especially s’mores on the fire pit. The views across the river was beautiful. A very well needed relaxing vacation. I would definitely consider coming back!

Cozy house that youll feel at home in

This was a wonderful place to stay at. Getting into the house was smooth and easy. Location was perfect, you were right next to the town so getting there was quick but the house location was nestled away from any another houses so you had privacy away from people which i loved. The house was nice and clean, the beds were very comfortable and the pillows were so soft, I even pulled one out of a pillow case to check the brand becuse i wanted to buy some! Wifi connection was great we had 3 different online video games streaming and no one experienced any slowness or lag. The kitchen was actually well stocked with cooking utensil that were nice! Ive stayed at a lot of vacation rentals that say they have a well stocked kitchen and when i get there it was either the bare minimum of cooking utensils or they are disgusting and falling apart but this place actually impressed me with how nice the kitcen was. The owner Ron had great communication and wanted to make sure we felt at home and was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!

My group of ladies super enjoyed our stay here! Such a lovely property, photos do not do it justice! Beds and pillows are comfy. Our group loved having coffee in the morning on their lovely screened in porch-such stunning views! Loved watching the deer explore the property. Location is awesome for wineries and waterfalls! Would definitely stay here again!!

Great location!

The house and surrounding property was very well maintained and well stocked with everything needed for a short get-away. The house was clean and allowed the six of us to gather in any of the many main rooms from the kitchen to the living room to the Florida room. Thanks for sharing your home!
