Excellent stay. Walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park, which we really enjoyed. The house was convenient to everything. The only think if I would suggest is to install an additional air conditioner unit in the dining room area.

Great location

House has an amazing location, if you’re interested in hiking the Gorge Trail — a short walk from the front door. It’s also an easy walk to just about anything in downtown Watkins Glen. The house also met our family’s high cleanliness standards upon arrival. It’s not a fancy place, but it worked great for our long weekend in Watkins Glen.

Wonderful stay in Finger lakes region

The house is very comfortable and ideally located. It's just around the corner from Watkins Glen park. The kitchen is new, clean and excellently equipped. If we ever come to Watkins Glen we will stay in this house for sure.

Spacious but not homey

Livingroom very comfortable and real wood floors nice, bathrooms nice. Kitchen large, but no garbage disposal or icemaker or ice trays, and dining area not appealing. Several closets without doors, giving place a half finished look. AC is wall units. Loud noises of something being offloaded woke us at night, its next to police station. Across street from Watkins glen so you can walk which is nice, and can walk into town.

Great house in a perfect location

The house was spacious and clean. The location can't be beat - steps from Watkins Glen state park and walking distance to the lake and even Walmart. Everything in the house worked well and nice extras like shampoo and keurig pods. We would highly recommend it!

Great Location in Watkins Glen

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. It was just down the street from Watkins Glen State Park and many restaurants and shops. The park had lovely waterfalls and a very large pool. The house was well equipped with a washer-dryer, bbq propane grill and many kitchen needs.The owner answered all questions and was very kind. Highly recommended!!!

The house was wonderful. It was clean and comfortable. They offered all the comforts of home. It was close to everything and we could have walked to restaurants. All wineries were within 15 to 20 minutes. If you are in Watkins Glenn you need to stay here.

Perfect vacation rental

We rented this home as we were going to Watkins Glen International for the NASCAR race. It is in a perfect location with lots of resturants/bars etc around, It was about a 10 min drive to the track which was extremely convenient. It was extremely clean and the hosts were very responsive and helpful aswell. If your coming to watkins glen for a get away this home is perfect. We are excited to hopefully comeback in the future and i HIGHLY reccomand staying here. Thanks again for the amazing time :)

Our stay here was wonderful! PERFECT LOCATION!!! We loved being across the street to Watkins Glen State ParkVERY SPACIOUS AND IMMACULATE!!!Perfect for 2 couples to share! Kitchen and eating area fully remodeled and HUGE!!! The host provides many provisions! We would have appreciated ice cube trays….perhaps they were somewhere we didn’t see? We ate out but you could cook amazing meals in this beautiful kitchen!!!Amazing COMFORTABLE family room with 2 double recliner couches and another full size couch. Washer&Dryer conveniently located off kitchen. BOTH bathrooms and 1 bedroom are on main level. The main level bedroom and bath are very compact. The upper floor bedrooms are vaulted. Mattresses were ok. If I get the chance to visit Watkins Glen again, I would DEFINITELY want to stay here again!!! Thank you for making our stay here so wonderful!!!

Michigan visitors

The home was very clean. The cleanest I have ever rented. Easy access to all we wanted to do. Very close to the park and we walked downtown and to dinner every night. We found it well provisioned except for coffee cups. We stopped at a dollar store and added to the cupboard of mugs. There were plenty of hangers which is often a problem in rentals and supplies that normally are not available. I would rent this home again and highly recommend.

Great Location!

My teenaged daughter, husband and I stayed for a week in July. The location of the house is fabulous. We were able to walk to the State Park for hiking, as well as the cute little downtown area and the lake. It’s also a short drive to other great hiking spots. We were also able to hop right on the Catherine Valley Trail for biking, and ride our bikes up around the lake to a local creamery for ice cream. (That part was hilly!!) We thought the house was comfortable and well stocked. Stacey, the property manager with whom we had contact was helpful and kind, and even checked on us after a really bad storm. If you’re looking for a relaxing but active vacation, I think this is a great choice!

Fabulous place to stay in Watkins Glen

This home provided us with a wonderful trip to Watkins Glen. It is a perfect rental because we were near the state park, local restaurants, nice neighborhood and near beautiful lake Seneca. The home was very clean, had comfortable beds and lots of room for a family trip. It has tons of perfect amenities and the manager and host provided quick answers to questions we had. I highly recommend this property!!!

Right across from the entrance to Watkins Glen State Park. Short walk to downtown. Well supplied. Only caveat is it is a busy area, noise at night.
