Beautiful property. Despite being close to the road it was very peaceful and relaxing after long days hiking and visiting waterfalls with our doggo. Very convenient to Watkins Glen, wineries, and all that the finger lakes have to offer. Wonderful and accommodating host!

We loved Catharine's Cottages! Very peaceful, relaxing, and welcoming. Ilona (the owner) is very friendly and hospitable. She made friends with my dog, which is not easy! The cabins are clean and cozy. The welcome goodies are a nice touch. The cabin faces the creek, has a grill and fire pit. This is a great place for couples and their pup to stay!

The host, Leona, was so friendly. She had everything so organized and everything you needed to start a campfire. She was very responsive when calling/emailing and she left a very nice basket of goodies with cheese and cherries in the refrigerator. The cabin was immaculate and I loved sitting in the rocking chairs in our private porch looking at the creek. Would highly recommend staying here.

We had the most wonderful stay. The property was so beautiful and cabin was very cozy. It had everything we needed. We had a fire and listened to the creek at night and our dog frolicked during the day. Perfect proximity to all the things finger lakes region has to offer. Can’t recommend enough.

We had an absolutely wonderful three night stay at this amazing property . The cabin sits on beautiful Catherine creek. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. The owner is extremely nice and helpful. We arrived to a welcome basket with fresh muffins as well as cheese and grapes. We will definitely be returning to this peaceful place.

Absolutely loved this tiny cabin. It was clean, there was available ice, roasting utensils, and there was cheese, cherries, and homemade muffins waiting for us when we checked in. A couple miles from town so we some spectacular waterfalls on this trip. Even took a cruise on the lake. Loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the little front porch. We totally recommend it!

Totally Adorable

The cabin was totally adorable. My husband and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary in Watkins Glen. We loved sittting on the porch drinking our coffee in the morning, watching all the little squirrels save up for winter. The food basket was great, we enjoyed it all. Looking forward to coming back!!

Cottage

These cottages are super clean and the host has thought of everything to make you feel welcome. Cheese and cherries in the fridge and muffins and jam on the table. The only thing that could be added would be a toaster or toaster oven. Would highly recommend a stay here!!!

Cozy and well appointed cabins

Stayed here with my dog while visiting the area and the hostess made us both feel very welcome. This area is peaceful and quiet while close to many amenities and places of interest. The cabins have everything you need for a comfortable stay including fire pits, grills, picnic tables, easy access to the creek, keurig coffee makers and mini fridges. I highly recommend Catherine Cabins!

Noisy!

Unfortunately this site is on a busy highway with 24/7 big trucks rolling by. Not exactly what I consider relaxing by a creek with a campfire or a good night sleep. To make matters worse, the mattress is only a double, which is incredibly cramped when compared to the king size we’re used to. I have to conclude that those who left great reviews are either deaf or have very low standards, most likely both. Good luck!

I am sorry your stay was not enjoyable. I have issued you a refund. Once in a while a guest finds the road noise intrusive and our policy is to issue a refund.

Wonderful stay!

This 2 day getaway was perfect! The cabin is spotless and extremely comfortable complete with a welcome basket and cheese platter! Location was perfect close to Watkins glen and Lake Seneca wine trail. Best of all owner Ilona was extremely gracious and available if needed. My dog Graycie and her dog Gracie made fast friends. We are hoping to rent all 4 cabins next year for a family trip.
