Please review our property photos and our available amenities to make sure this rental is a perfect fit for your needs. We strive to keep this information as up-to-date as possible so you can feel confident in knowing what you are renting.

What We Love
A relaxing and spectacular stay awaits at this secluded home nestled in a quiet area close to Lake Seneca access. Boatowners will love the fact that water access in Watkins Glen is only a short drive away, with ramps for smaller boats available even closer at Smith Memorial Park (two and a half miles). Numerous nearby trails offer fun options on dry land while the plentiful breweries and wineries make perfect pit stops on the way back.
This rustic charmer welcomes you with a gorgeous wooden interior and open floor plan. Prepare culinary masterpieces in the well-appointed kitchen, complete with all the essentials. Make sure to take advantage of the gas grill and surprise everyone with delicious grilled treats. When mealtime is over, gather in the inviting living area and stream fun shows and movies on the smart TV, or hang out around the firepit while roasting s'mores. The screened porch offers a great spot to unwind as well. When it's time to hit the hay, head upstairs to the lofted sleeping area. Additional perks include board games. Property has shared firepits.

Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).
