Great weekend stay!

We had a fantastic stay at this house in Watkins Glen! The home was spotless, spacious, and perfect for our girls getaway. The hot tub was a big hit after long days of exploring, and the game room added a fun touch for evenings in. We also loved that it was within walking distance to town—super convenient for grabbing coffee, meals, or just enjoying the local vibe. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully set up. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located place to stay in the area!

Great stay in Watkins Glen

We spent a long weekend in Watkins Glenn on wine tour and this was the perfect house. It gave us easy access to Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake and Keueyka Lake. There is also a nice easy walk to the downtown area for restaurants and bars. The house was clean and has lots of room. Our host were always reachable to address any questions we had. We are already looking forward to back next year!

Couples weekend success!

My two sisters and our partners stayed at perfect location in Watkins Glenn for our weekend away. A trip that was suppose to happen 5 years but got postponed due to Covid and then kids finally happened with a beautiful weekend in the beginning of March. The town was fairly empty but extremely welcoming. We were able to walk to get food, hear live music and pick up supplies, with just a short drive to the lake and wineries. The house was spacious, comfortable and fun! Very gracious, communitive hosts and no issues. Hope to come back again soon!

Great location. Gracious hosts.

Perfect location in Watkins Glen. A very short walk to the State Park and restaurants and very convenient to Watkins Glen International. The house is well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee and other essentials and as well as appliances, cutlery, etc. Beds were exceptionally comfortable - 5 queens in all if you rent the entire house and three bathrooms. A nice back yard with grill, hot tub, etc. The host is very accommodating and communication was excellent. I rented this for a track weekend at WGI with 4 other guys. It was perfect for that and would also be a nice place for a family or friends trip to the Finger Lakes region. Highly recommended.

Birthday Trip

Convenient location, easy to walk to restaurants, stores and the park. The house was very clean and well stocked. It was on the main road and the road noise could get very loud. I will say that although the pictures were accurate they did not reflect the age of the house and some of the issues that come along with that. There was very little light, window AC units, uneven floors, uneven door transitions, few outlets, steep stairs. The upstairs living room door overlaps with stairs so that is a safety hazard, the railing around the stairs is really low. All this is really only a problem if you have a mobility issue but is extremely important to be communicated. The upstairs living room does not have a TV. The listing states there are other rentals on the property and the while the hot tub is only available for the main house guests you walk past the other rental door to get to it so when the other renters are outside they are right next to you.

The house was in a great location. We were able to take a nice walk into town. We mostly were at the house to sleep since we were out on the lake all the days we were there. The place was clean, comfortable beds. It is an older home. The window AC unit in the room we slept in was a bit noisy. Communication with host was great
