Clean place, perfect ammenities, great views. Our group of 50 plus adults enjoyed the stay and area. Looking forward to coming back and staying here again possibly with more friends.
The location was great, view was awesome. Check in was easy, communication was great. Just a few suggestions: need hooks in the bathroom, a new skillet, and cookie sheets would be nice to heat thing up in the oven. Other than that a great time! Thank you!
Clean and quiet listing with an easy walk to down town. Plenty of room for large groups. Nice deck looking over the downtown and the lake. Great communication, and listing was very accurate.
I can’t recommend this property enough. Location, location, location. It is a 2 minute walk to Watkins Glen State Park and downtown.We had 9 adults and there was plenty of room. The large upper deck allows great view of downtown and the lake. The property is on a one way street and the location throws GPS off a little, but once you figure out the flow it is really easy to get to, even during a busy NASCAR race weekend.We had a little snafu with the front door key and the property owner couldn’t have been nicer and very understanding about it.
Overall this is a convenient location and large house. The amenities were not high quality and while the house was surface clean there were other things that desperately need attention like the AC, fans and windows
Perfect location - close to the State Park for an amazing morning hike through the gorge. Centrally located to all the choice wineries and different lakes. Walkable to town for food and late-night frolicking. Would definitely stay again when back in the area.
We stayed so that we could conveniently travel to/from Ithaca for graduation weekend. The trails were wonderful, the wineries were wonderful and the town was convenient and beautiful.
The property was just as pictured and had plenty of room for a large group! It was also very clean inside and in a perfect location to walk to the Wine Trolley or to the local restaurants and shops. The owner was extremely kind and answered my questions immediately. Highly recommend!
Check in and out process easy to follow. Location centralized - walking distance to state park. House itself is big for a larger group with 5 bathrooms.
We chose this property because of its location to the state park and we were very pleased with that. The size of the home was great for our party. A little quirky on the layout but overall a large home for big parties that want to stay within walking distance to the park, lake, and town.
The property is very well maintained and is in a great location, as it is about 1 block away from Watkins Glen State Park and the main strip in Watkins Glen. There is a Walmart that is about 2 miles away that allows you to get anything you need or forgot to bring. We had issues with the WiFi upon our arrival, but it turned out to be an issue with the Cable company. The hostess was very attentive and got the issue resolved in a couple of days.
We had 4 children under 5 years of age. This place was fantastic for us! Huge open floor plan so we weren't right on top of each other. Multiple bathrooms, huge bedrooms, so there was lots of privacy as well. The AC was fantastic- huge plus as it was very hot and humid when we were there. Courtney was very responsive, check in was seamless and enough parking. Great house for larger groups.
I would definitely recommend this home for a large group. Plenty of space for 5 couples. We all had plenty of room to move around and each bedroom had a queen bed. This place has a great location to be able to go to wineries and breweries on either side of the lake. The only suggestion our group had was an 11am checkout vs 10am as several of the places we wanted to go to before leaving the lake didn’t open until 11.
This was a business trip for racing. GPS took us to street below location so I could see the house, but took a few minutes to figure out how to get to the actual street. The street is on a one way road. Great place with the necessary basics. Will continue to rent there in the future for the racing events!
Everything about this location is how it's listed. Very clean and contemporary. My only MINOR complaint is that there were not enough towels for 10 people, but one some of our group couldn't make it and we only had 8 so it was fine. We will definitely be staying here again!

Thank you for your feedback Karen! There should have been an ample supply of extra towels, I am sorry about that!! (Usually all 4 bathrooms have 4-6 towels, anywhere from 16-24) I will make sure that does not get missed next time and I am so glad you enjoyed your stay :)
The place was what I expected. And I couldn’t believe how close it was to Watkins Glen trail. There were plenty of dishes and I love that there was a propane grill. The only issue with the place was that there was no hair dryer, Which was the only inconvenience.
