About this property

Creekside Cottage (#2) with luxury inside/nature outside

Catharine Cottages offers the perfect getaway: four delightful and comfortable cottages each with a wonderful view of Catharine Creek. The cottages are close to Watkins Glen State Park, the Seneca Lake Wine Trail and the Coring Museum of Glass.
Each cottage sleeps 2 to 4 people and has a private bath, small fridge, microwave, coffee maker, AC/heat, and provided linens. Outside is a covered porch with rocking chairs, a fire pit, a charcoal grill, and a picnic table. The creek provides peace and relaxation for adults, and endless fun for children and dogs. Dogs are welcome with prior permission.

ADORABLE little cabin, right next to the creek with a little fire pit! It is just off a main road though, so you may get some road noise

We stayed two nights. The cabins are located along a beautiful stream and close to Watkins Glen State Park. The cabin was small yet clean and in excellent condition. The property manager was very helpful.

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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!!!

it was great.

We were never told to bring pillows and that there would be no breakfast. We brought the pillows and breakfast. Just a thought. Let the people who are coming us to bring those things. Some families budget very hard for the trip. They may not have the funds to cover the cost On a bitter note, we loved this place Our daughter wants to come Hope they dot hanks for reading .

Apologies for not communicating. This has been a tough year with many adjustments (for safety reasons) and things have fallen through the cracks. Not an excuse however. Thanks for your candid review.

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.

Peaceful and Beautiful Cabin

Cabin location was perfect and peaceful. We were in Cabin 4. The cabin was very clean and there was a lovely welcome basket that included muffins, jam, trail mix and other snacks and brochures. There was a Keurig Coffee Pot that came with K-Cups and creamers. Also as an added surprise there was grapes and local cheese in the fridge. The cabin also had a microwave. Check in was easy and we even received a call later in the evening to make sure everything was good!! The grounds were beautiful and there was a large hammock, horse shoes, hula hoops, frisbees and balls to play with. All of the cabins have a view of a little stream out front. There is a very nice fire pit and a charcoal grill. They have wood already placed by the pit and more for purchase and also have charcoal to purchase. They also have all the utensils and tools you will need to grill and make smores!! The cabin is very close to Watkins Glen about 3 miles. About a 35 minute drive to Ithaca.There is a gas station across the street as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful and close to everything!

We had a great time in our cozy cabin overlooking the stream. The nights were peaceful by the fire and we enjoyed the yummy basket of goodies provided by the host. We were greeted by the owner upon arrival and she was very helpful in locating anything we might need during our stay. It’s a great location, within minutes of downtown Watkins Glen, yet like it’s own little oasis. We look forward to returning soon!
