The home was AMAZING! The communication with the host was super easy and fast throughout the process before, during and after our stay. The bedrooms are extremely large and most have a view of the lake which was a nice bonus. If you walk down the hill and take a right you are at the parking lot to the Gorge. Easy walking to downtown for food and entertainment. We were in town for a wedding and our extended family had ample room to get ready at the same time. I can't say enough about this location and the amenities too!

Fantastic Finger Lakes Hike and Wine

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 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.

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.

Great place for a friends trip

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.

Great house!

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.

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!

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.
